19 May 05 - 05:58 PM (#1488519) Subject: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: GUEST,khandu I really think Conway Twitty got his signature growl from learning how to produce, control & employ a good belch. It is a talent few others have honed, but he perfected it. I doubt he would have been a "big" star in country music had he not seen the usefulness of what many consider a crude biological function. k |

Why is it that I have so tenuous a grasp on what is folk that I cannot tell when it is country? I kind of figure that country has repeated choruses and more simplistic form but I don't know that to be true. So Folk is a ballad that tells a story and is passed down from generation to generation with undetermined origin or author? When do contemporary ballads become Folk? What are those songs called in the meantime? Country started out as 'hillbilly' music then was called 'Western' music, still later called 'Country and Western' and is currently misnamed 'Country' when it would be more accurately named 'Country Pop' or 'Country Rock'. Forget I said anything, Big Mick. |

21 May 05 - 12:05 PM (#1490055) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: GUEST,L.C. Very nice entries brucie and JennyO, very nice indeed. I would not discourage your poetic endeavors. Yes, they are worthy of praise. Yet, I must add that something is lost in the paraphrase, though the rhyming is excellent. " distant sound of the toilet's flush." just does not have the same "uumph" as does "The flush of a distant toilet" Notice that the arrangement of words in the phrase as you use them is somewhat awkward. I think the word "distant" is the key here. Its placement is critical for the desired effect. By placing it at the beginning, you have shown your trump card at the onset, thus taking away the joy of the game, so to speak. The five words following the word "distant" actually do not embellish, but rather, detract from the power of the word. Think of the word "distant" as you would think of Mel carter's saxophone on the version of "Going Home" on "Alchemy", the live album by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler plays a riff on guitar, which is immediately echoed by Carter on his sax. The marvelous design and mixing on this instrumental gives it an aura that defies space and time and all their restrictions. Carter sounds ten thousand miles away from Knopfler here, yet comes across clear and strong. It is a work of brilliance. As is "The flush of a distant toilet" The "distant sound of a toilet's flush" would be Bobert and Martin Gibson playing "Going Home" in their living room on cigar box guitars with rubber band strings. But pay no attention to my review. I am no poet. My best examples can be found on bathroom walls. L. Cohen |

And meditate in this cold, early hour, On distant sounds that yet convey such power. On clicking keyboards, softly scratching pens, A distant motor, sounds of roosting hens, A rooster's crow, the clink of spoon and cup, The clatter of the midnight washing up. We here don't flush the loo with folks in bed, The yellow mellows overnight instead, And so the famous toilet's distant flush, Must come from up the road or in the bush. And so goodnight,I go to seek repose, And on this theme I shall no more compose. |

Sorry, I'm feeling a strong need to revisit the kitchen which in our apartment is close to where "The sound of a distant toilet" might flush. Did you know, you can also flush pheasants?

22 May 05 - 12:40 PM (#1490602) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: GUEST,Mr Knowingly How Noble of you, Charlie, to not reveal the name of your source. Indeed, "The Cheddar Haunts me Still" is a clever turn, worthy of note. It seems to be a derivitive of an old Kentucky murder song called "Chester Haunts my Still", which is still played by various obscure musicians in the Wallins Creek area of Harlan County. A similar tune, which was born in the 1930's, is "Lester Taunts Me Still". It is also a murder song, whose melody is loosely based on "Chester Haunts...". Interestingly, the actual murder of Lester was a copycat murder of the actual Chester murder, of which was written "Chester Haunts...". Some humorous soul decided to write a copycat song (Lester Taunts...) of a copycat murder. I believe one of these was performed by Wiley and Zeke Morris. The murder of Chester near Harlan, Kentucky supposedly took place around 1890. Chester Dowell was murdered by "Judge" Ball, who was not a judge. Ball was a moonshiner whose daughter was involved with Chester. Ball told authorities the location of a still, which was, in fact, one of Ball's stills. Ball had sent Chester to tend the still that day, knowing that the "revenoors" would raid it. As Ball had hoped, Chester Dowell was killed defending the still. Though the killing of Dowell was a legal act, the locals knew he was murdered by Judge Ball, who used the law as his murder weapon. The murder of "Lester" was similar, but different. I'll tell it later, if any are interested. Both songs are worthy of a listen, though I do not know where they may be found. My dad had them when I was a child, but the recordings have been long lost.

22 May 05 - 03:13 PM (#1490700) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: Peace Ken, you got class. Thank you. However, it just goes to show that great minds think alike. The awesomenessedness of this thread started by YOU has led to a literary phrase that will live in Mudcat history--and hopefully in Mr Google history. However, I don't doubt that poets who scour the web for ideas will stumble across Ebbie's "the flush of a distant toilet" and wonder exactly what she's saying. As an astute poster noted, Poe would have given van Gogh's ear for the phrase; The Bard would have given his best bed to claim ownership. Some people just have greatness thrust upon them. When she wrote that here (tfoadt), the thing would not leave me alone. It is at once noble and yet--what? Thomas Crapper would have been proud to claim that phrase for his plumbing business. NASA--well, who knows? "One small step for man and . . . what's that? It's the flush of a distant toilet!" Egads. To the clones: would it be possible to enshrine this phrase in a thread--one frozen in time? Perhaps Ebbie could start a thread so entitled and In the thread there would be but ONE post: that post would read, "The flush of a distant toilet". Then the thread could be closed for time immemorial. What do ya say? Huh? PLEASE, with sugar on it? I won't swear for a whole week, promise. Bruce M |

I believe that Ebbie should do as brucie says, create the tread with "The Flush of a Distant Toilet" title, and as the opening post (or perhaps including the entire sentence of this rare jewel!). Then Ebbie should signal to Joe Offer to immediately close the thread (Of course, Ebbie should "ready" Joe beforehand!). This will do two important things. It will forever establish Ebbie as the creator of the phrase, (and would, I believe, stand up in court, should the need arise!) and it will give the wonderful phrase its own distinct and greatly deserved place in the Hallowed Halls of Mudcat. So, I trust that you, Ebbie, are already in conference with Joe Offer concerning this noble & worthy endeavor! Ken |

22 May 05 - 08:32 PM (#1490860) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: The Fooles Troupe Those of you who have taught their cat to use the toilet, including teaching it to flush, will be aware that it may not always be a human influence that causes one to hear 'The Flush of a Distant Toilet'. The bored clever little buggers sometimes decide at 3 am that it will be amusing to flush it several times.... |

23 May 05 - 06:21 AM (#1491124) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: freda underhill Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.. "The night was dark. Guantanamo Bay is no picnic. One o'clock in the morning and the prison stood cold and empty but for me. Half asleep in my big chair in front of CNN I kicked myself upright, deciding that the couch would be more comfortable than sitting here trying to stay awake. As I prepared for bed I noticed that all the prisoners were quiet tonight. Not happy, that was for sure. We had been desecrating the Koran today and there had been a lot of screaming prisoners. Just one prisoner was missing. I hadn't seen him since dinner time and that last meetng hadn't gone well. He had told me that I would be flushed like the proverbial Koran. "I shrugged and then smiled at the notion of shrugging when there was none to see. I put my feet up. I froze. Somewhere deep in the guard house a toilet had flushed." |

24 May 05 - 10:53 AM (#1491970) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: John MacKenzie I find it useful when faced with upper class twits, snobs etc to imagine them sitting on the loo with their drawers round their ankles, it is after all true that even they must shit and pee like the rest of us ordinary folks. Don't forget that even the Queen's finger must go through the toilet tissue sometimes. That's my philosophical thought for today. Giok ¦¬] |

26 May 05 - 02:36 AM (#1493418) Subject: RE: BS: Advice Sought -How to Hijack a Thread From: Metchosin You'd have to go to my up thread posts Ebbie. Actually, I like their stuff, its not exactly hard core, but when they are not the first band on stage, sometimes ya gotta suffer a little bit and sometimes hang about in some very odd places. And you do stick out like a sore thumb. I don't think I could get a stud even through my ear anymore, without some bloodletting, so I'm not about to try. LOL. So far most of the "kids" that I have met at such venues are really very kind and friendly. Both my daughters are musicians and we've always maintained an interest in their stuff, no matter where the "muse" has taken them. |
