03 Nov 01 - 08:49 PM (#585473) Subject: No BS: The Mudcat Is Shutting Down II From: Max OK, here's the deal. We forgot one important step before we moved... to tell internic that our IP's are going to be different. So we had to back-track a step and lug 2 computers back to the office to petition for these changes. It is possible that they will be done by 5am. If this is the case, we may be down again in the morning till I get a chance to lug the 2 machines back here and reconfigure them. So mudcat should be able to limp through the night. Many of you should be getting to us fine now. I can tell by how many hits we're getting that most of you are in OK. Wow, what a day. More later... |

Thanks for caring enough about us to lug those computers back to the office for the night. It means a lot to me that you would go to that trouble - you could have just left everything until morning. Thanks. |

03 Nov 01 - 10:52 PM (#585551) Subject: RE: No BS: The Mudcat Is Shutting Down II From: heric Hey, Max, as part of the 99% and hence a total anonymous internet stranger, I nevertheless feel like telling you that I'm going through the same thing as you this weekend, without the computers. You probably, like me, see some hazy metaphor between WTC twin towers and your marriage, but today it just clicked for me and I see it clear as crystal: My wife is BOTH Osama bin Laden and the U.S. Air Force. To fortunato and Norton1, by stealing your advice to Max, I feel much, much better today. The only reason for the cluster bombing around me is that I am insisting on 50% custody.

What I mean is, I was outta town and I didn't know, or I'd have been praying for ya, Max. But I did finish writing a really cute blues tune and I will have to dedicate it to you now, for all your hard work. It's VERY cute. I got an arrangement done but one chord is wrong-- I'll have to get your help with that part of it. Then you can play it while me and SharonA sing it for ya. I dunno when. (OK Sharon???) ~Susan |

04 Nov 01 - 08:08 AM (#585661) Subject: RE: No BS: The Mudcat Is Shutting Down II From: catspaw49 Mick, Max has stated he wants no praise here on this thread. I guess he feels he isn't deserving or something. Maybe it embarasses him. Maybe he'd prefer to be berated. I dunno........I'd go for the thanks and praise myself and then say thank you, but if he feels he doesn't deserve it.................... Max, you fockin' swine. You vulgar little maggot. You're worthless bag of filth. You couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel, so now you wear yellow socks as a symbol of your deep-rooted stupidity. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt, a jerk, a cad, and a weasel. You're a gawdawful fockin' stench, a revulsion, and a big suck on a sour lemon.......a Nittanied, staggering, mutant little pissant, smeared richly with the effluvia accompanying your alleged birth into this world. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. There ya' go Max........Is that better now? Always happy to oblige........... Spaw |

Why only the other day he said: "Now take 'spaw for example. He's an ungrateful, hypocritical, bovine, maggot-ridden tub of guts given to egg-sucking, ass-kissing, back-biting and fart bubble biting. But, apart from that he's highly effective laxative for the Mudcat which often needs a monumental dose of exlax or a fleet enema or a high colonic of major caliber. Without him the shit would back up around here and we'd all f**king explode." "The opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the Management". |

05 Nov 01 - 11:20 PM (#586440) Subject: RE: No BS: The Mudcat Is Shutting Down II From: catspaw49 LOL....I'm going to repost something here that I just posted on another thread because I want Max to see it and it's likely he may peek in here. How do I really feel about the 'Cat? I love this place and all who live here and Max has set up soething that goes way beyond what I think even he expected. So how do outsiders view the place? Read this: Recently we have had a guest who runs a nice site called Tweed's Blues. He was looking for some lyrics and he has been dropping by and adding in some good stuff too. He mentioned that Cletus always made him laugh, so I sent Clete over to check out his site. Well, you know Cletus....he had to make a few posts and Tweed enjoyed them as did some of his members although they wondered what the hell was going on. So Tweed posted a message to his members and I'm going to copy it here for you to enjoy....not the part about Cletus, but what he said about Mudcat............. Posted By TWEED to his members: Folks, I must confess, I been goin' out on you all and have visited the Mudcat Cafe, where they have so many postings you couldn't keep up if ya tried. There's people over there that's even more intelligent than we are and know song lyrics inside and out as well as just about everything else. It's a very good board and so busy that they have there own servers somewhere at a guy called Max's, who's movin' them back and forth between houses to keep the place going. It's unreal! When things get slow around here, I'd recommend a visit and read some of them posts. If you happen upon one of CLETUS'S though, I'd say don't be drinkin' or eatin' anything as whatever you got in you will likely end up shootin' out of your nose. Thanks for droppin' over Cletus and you come back too. We're small fish in the pond but we don't stink too bad...most of the time anyhow....at least not when the wind is blowin' real good. Made me proud of this place......how about you? Tweed has a real nice site and if you drop in, apologize for Cletus' postings! He sure had some nice things to say about us didn't he? He's a member here now, so if you run across him, you'll know who he is. I love you all..... Spaw |
