06 Sep 02 - 07:42 PM (#778360) Subject: RE: BS: A little self-publicity From: mousethief I hope I don't offend any non-Orthodox -- at least religiously offend them; I'll settle for offending their sexual mores, if they so insist. I think attacking other people's religions is, well, rude. Attacking one's own religion, on the other hand.... I don't mind saying I'd like to rattle some Orthodox cages a bit. I think that laughing at yourself, either for an individual or a group, is a good face to present to the world, and people who can't laugh at themselves deserve to be offended at least a little. :) Alex |

06 Sep 02 - 09:00 PM (#778395) Subject: RE: BS: A little self-publicity From: Don Firth Great website, Alex! Love the cartoons ("Make it sew" indeed! Really ba-a-a-a-ad!)! I've always kinda wondered where "mousethief" came from. Well. . . . Back in 19 aught 61, I was singing in a coffeehouse called "Pamir House" in the University District in Seattle. Good place to sing. They usually had two or three singers up front at any given time, and it was a fun place to perform because it was like swapping songs in someone's living room (and getting paid for it!). And the audiences liked it, enjoying the informality and the unplanned and frequently goofy banter between the singers. Anyway, there was a guy who came in regularly, and he'd try to pick a table real close to the stage area. He'd put something under the table and he'd keep leaning over and fiddling with it. Finally, one evening on a break, I caught him be surprise by sitting down at his table and saying, "Can I take a look at your tape recorder?" Surprised and a bit embarrassed, he showed it to me. It was a small reel-to-reel battery-operated job, cumbersome by later standards (cassette recorders hadn't come out yet), but tidy nevertheless. He explained to me that he was going to the U. of W. and living in the dorms. He was teaching himself to play the guitar and trying to learn songs. He didn't have a phonograph in his room, so he couldn't learn songs off records, but he did have the recorder which he'd bought to supplement note-taking in class. He said he hoped we didn't mind, but he was "collecting" stuff, both to listen to and to learn. "I use the tape recorder for gonffing songs," he said. I thought it was just a made-up word. Now I know! Thanks! Don Firth |

She's a bit of a nut about onions...says them with a phony French accent so it comes out "un yawn" sorta...anyhow, she about went nuts when she saw what you'd done to that onion, man! I'm sorry I couldn't stop her posting...I'm lucky that's ALL she wanted to do to my monitor. Anyway, she's gone now, so I can tell you I LMAO reading more of your twistedness. Love it! AND, MAG's posting reminds me...I'd sent a request for info about the tape and never heard back, so howsaboutit? Would you please let me know how much to send and where to? Thanks and congrats on the additions! kat |
