BS: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!!

Subject: Spaw's greatest Faux Pas of all time!!!
From: Little Hawk

The dictionary defines "faux pas" as "a social blunder". Now we all know that Spaw has committed many of these, but I think it's time to put our heads together and decide which one was the worst of them all!

So...what could it be? Which was his most tasteless, offensive, embarrassing, inane, and bone-headed act or statement of all time? (On Mudcat or off it...)

One thing, though: I suggest we avoid the subject of farts altogether, since there's been far too much emphasis on that already...and it's the lazy man's way of defining Spaw. So leave out the fart stories, and concentrate on his more unique and distinctively memorable offenses...which are many!!!

Go to it, folks. Winning entry gets a free summer course (2 credits) at the WSSBA in 2002.

Are you seriously suggesting that our friend Spaw, he of the exquisite social skills and unfailing delicacy of speech, could perpetrate a "fox pass"? Oh, no, I can't believe it! Say it isn't true!

It isn't true Dave - If you will note the posts of the past several days. These are the true Spaw. Consistently kind and thoughtful, gazing into the eyes of his true love, and constantly on alert for opportunities to be of assistance to those who would be more road weary than himself. I am just appalled at the idea of Spaw doing other than the above.

And Little Hawk - how could you accuse our wandering mistrel of such?

I've only been around the Mudcat for about eleven months. There have been SO MANY possible candidates for this high (low?) honor in that period of time that I cannot even envision the possibilities that stretch further backward in time. It has become clear to me that a kind, sensitive human being dwells beneath that sarcastic, flatulence-obsessed exterior. Huuum...must be the season... You veteran Catters go ahead; I can't wait to see what I missed!

Hey Hawk! Fo Paw this......

BBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPP

So looking for my greatest huh? Hard to say really.....Do intentional ones count? I mean with the possible exception of your own lame ass attempts at keeping the Shatner thing alive, I am the undisputed King of gragging along the long running joke, no matter how inane, silly, tasteless, or completely stupid:

*Cleigh O'Possum
*His buddy, The Little Pissant
*Paw, Cletus, Buford, and the Reg Boys
*The Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed
*and it's new wing, The James Taylor Rehab Center for Catatonic Blandness
*Tiples and Noseflutes
*Peter T's above referenced Waylon Heron
*The Amish-Australian Pitchfork Moustache Tuner
*and your personal favorite, Major Tom, Psychotic Astronaut
*Let's Kick Max in the Balls (posted that one again today!)
*Generally Flatulent Related crappola
*Father Joebro and his impending baldness
*Mick's spud-stuffed thong
*Jeri's Dragonfly infested Hooters

And that's not to mention the other shorter term wackiness that I only let go of when someone is about to kill me, such as the latest with the New and Improved Gordon Bok Fan with the cookie duster HEPA filter. There's been so many of them foisted upon individual 'Catters that they escape my memory. What was I beating Carol to death with when she was up there visiting? Then the tasteless stuff (like the rest isn't) such as Leej referred to with Oklahoma reference (old 'Catters might remember) and beating Rick to death with the tale of Pedro the Implosive 12 String.

Sad but true.......Look up faux pas and my picture is right there. Extends right into real life too.......My sailing partner Bill and I sailed past the local yacht club's beautiful old clubhouse after winning a regatta, got out our anti-pirate yacht cannon (water balloon sling shot) and gave them a "moon salute" followed by a few volleys which broke off part of an old decorative railing and a raingutter downspout. They kept the crummy silver plate and banned us from competing for the season, even after we paid for the damage! No sense of humor.......

Spaw, I am miffed that you would refer to my "attempts at keeping the Shatner thing alive" as "lame ass".

My dear fellow. William Shatner is a cultural icon of simply measureless dimensions. His acting is without peer. His reputation is the most well-deserved one in Hollywood. He sings Mr. Tambourine Man in a fashion which no one else has been able to match or even approach.

William Shatner doesn't need me to raise his profile on Mudcat. Face it, he's immortal and irresistable. My occasional references to him are only the humble acknowlegements of a mere common soul confronted by a collosus in the field of the Fine Arts.

By the way, I love the yachting club incident! Nice going! Tally Ho!

From: Amos

Obviously this thread is riddled with delusory trivia. Little Hawk, for example, has substituted his delusions about a certain second-rate, mostly forgotten thespian of yore for a creative contribution to the Cat. Gargoyle has submitted his delusion that the Cat and the DT should be called by the same name. Little Hawk has further added to the unreality by initiating a whole thread on the off-the-wall notion that Catspaw49 is capable of "false steps", social blunders, inappropriate remarks, or actions beyond the pale of acceptability in our society. It is clear from Catspaw49's iconic status in this particular environment that Little Hawk is deluded, and also barking up the wrong tree, has a wrong number, and is in other ways of error to boot.

Yes, Amos, and I am also "a couple beers short of a 6-pack"! (To quote a phrase beloved of the local hosers in this town...) I truly admire your command of the English language, Amos.

More mutual admiration, Gargoyle! How irritating it must be for you to have to read this sort of trivial fluff, which wastes the valuable time of the Mudcat on merely having a laugh or two, when we could be looking up the various different lyrical versions of "House Carpenter" (all 156 of 'em), comparing the differences in an erudite fasion, and determining which, out of all of them, was the first, and therefore definitive version...

Amos - to call William Shatner "second-rate" is hardly adequate...he sets a thespian standard which is beyond comparison to any other, I think. It is on a firm understanding of this that the William Shatner School of BAAAAAD Acting was founded, and upon this standard that its curriculum is built.

"To Boldy Go Where No Educational Institution Has Gone Before!" is our motto, emblazoned in gold above the entrance gates. We live by that motto every day.

Actually Hawk, what Larry is referring to is the replacement mitral valve in my heart which at times you can hear clicking as it opens and closes. Fortunately I rarely hear it but it can be noticed by others at times and makes me an ideal candidate for Captain Hook. On the other hand, listening to it click reassures me that I am still alive......I click, therefore I am.

His biggest error: He did not concede the "Spaw vs. Shatner" election. Yeah, yeah...I know...Swap won, but... how many of the votes were won by blackmail, bribery or deceit? Any man of integrity would have readily admitted that Shatner was (And still is ) the sexier of the two. Not to say that our fair Swap isn't sexy, I am certain that there are two or three that would swear that he is, but come on... we are talking about William (Capt. James Tiberious (or, as stated on one episode, Talmadge) Kirk) Shatner, fer God's sake!!! (Incidentally, there was one Star Trek episode entitled "Catspaw". Coincidence? I think not!

His second error: His belittling of the Great and wonderful state of Mississippi. In fact, he has so grossly insulted us fine upright Mississippi citizens that we burn a cross in honor of him every Sunday night!

Ya' got some problems there Hawk....nothing unusual for you of course, but simply typical of a mind that thinks Major Tom, Psychotic Astronaut, has deep meaning. I'm sure that even Shatner can figure out that Tom is simply screwed, blued, and tatooed.......Then again, so is Shatner.

First, Khandu wouldn't recognize a falsified election if his ass was covered in dimpled chad. It's hard to think that "fair election" is anything but oxymoronic in a place that elected Ross Barnett as Governor. Then again, we had a nutcase like that here too. He had a plan to build a bridge across Lake Erie but had trouble staying focused on it when he decided to send the National Guard to Kent State. (Khandu and I have another commonality here in that Jackson State cane along shortly after)......In any case...............

Khandu would also be unavailable for the contest winning trip you mention as they are very busy down there that time of year getting ready for the next "season." There is so much to do what with making crosses and wrapping them in rags, laying in a supply of kerosene, cutting eyeholes in pillowcases, laundering singed bedsheets........It's just far too busy to leave.

Hmmm, and here I thought it would be the other way around. Shatner as Kirk had to be the most unsexy "star" of all time.

And don't forget that the powerful pheromones in certain bodily odours can attract the hormones of the opposite gender even as they repulse the nose.

Of course, Spaw doesn't have allure of "star power" ... whatever that is... maybe it's like an odour?

Spaw vs./ Shatner? No contest...at least Spaw can act!

As for Gargoyles and the ubiquitous nameless guests comments. Guys, really...lighten up some.

This is one of the funniest threads I have read since the "Let's kick Max in the balls" thread.

Laughter is good medicine...you should try it! :D

I humbly accept the award on behalf of my fellow Mississippians who have taught me to smell a rat, especially during elections! Thank you, Little Hawk.

To my Dear Friend Swap, I say this...Nyah nee nyah nee nyah nyah!!!!!!

I regret that I have missed the Mississippi references to which Swap has referred. I am certain they were Mudcat Jewels!

I wonder now about InOBU's relationship with the aforementioned swine (Swap). It appears InOBU has first hand knowledge of Swap's ticking during sex. Hmmmm, I must ponder this.

I must go. I have a ton of sheets and pillow case to gift wrap for my loved ones' Christmas!

Ta ta,

Good point, Carol. Besides, how do we know for sure that Shatner does not tick during sex. God knows, Doctor McCoy had a chronic eyebrow tick that could have raised the Titanic! (and that wasn't even during sex...at least I don't think so...ah...well, I don't think I want to dwell on that thought at all, actually...)

Swan Lake is a ballet not an opera. And the most outrageous version was done by Rudolph Nureyev and Miss Piggie. They aptly named it "Swine Lake". I attended the auction of Nureyev's estate and saw the above mentioned costume sold as the highest priced item in the auction. Can't remember how much...

I still want to know why all you died-in-the-wool Shatner fans did not bid on the first edition Star Trek magazine that went for a paltry $6.
Spaw is definitely sexier than William Shatner. Karen says so.

I think Mudguard is making a pun based on a stretched-out French pronunciation.

In that light, the sentence should sound like: He is his biggest foe, Spaw. Kinda like Pogo meeting the enemy and he is us!

Merry Xmas to ALL you madcaps fools and Mudcat foux,

Gnu...so ya' know......I tick all the time. Last summer through Robotic Surgery, I had the mitral valve in my heart replaced with a St. Jude's Valve, a little metal thing that is activated by the normal pressure of the heart (no electricity needed) and as it opens and closes you can hear it make a ticking sound. I rarely can hear it except when I'm facing a wall or something but others can often hear it.

A handful of well known posters, which I guess are the inner circle, (susan of DT, alison, gargoyle, BigMick, BSeed,BillD, PetePeterson,HarpGirl, Roger in Baltimore,greenhouse) no Max and an awful lot more that aren't around anymore.

Several days have passed since I won the treasured and coveted award. Christmas was all the more wonderful as I told my friends and loved ones about the award. Indeed, I was the envy of the Christmas Dinner Crowd, and have become the talk of Tupelo! It was even announced on our local TV station's "Morning Show"!

Therefore, I again must say this; "Spaw...Nyah nee nyah neee nyah nyah!"
