(GUEST): Hi, I'm a regular Mudcat member but I want privacy for this delicate topic. For a long time I have felt so alone! I just don't fit in.... I've felt different from an early age-- at kindergarten I couldn't feel comfortable using silverware, OR eating with my hands. And that thing people have about religious differences-- I just can't relate! Anyway, for a long time I have suspected I'm actually meant to be a raccoon... if you've had any experience with the surgery, please advise. ~S~ |

24 Oct 05 - 03:03 PM (#1589863) Subject: RE: BS: New Game: Threads We Ain't Seen Yet From: *daylia* WYSISYG, why go to all the trouble of surgery when you could learn to shapeshift! How about a few lessons with the legendary Japanese "raccoon-dog" and Master of Shapeshifting ... Tanuki! In Japanese folklore the Tanuki has great physical strength and supernatural powers. Like the kitsune (fox), it is a master of shape-changing and disguise and is a mischievous creature taking all sorts of disguises to deceive or annoy travellers. Standing by the road side on its hindlegs, it distends its belly (or rather scrotum) and strikes it with its forepaws. The Tanuki is also depicted in a fox like form, playing crazy and dangerous pranks with its enormous scrotum, which measures eight tatami mats! |

So, here's my question... What equipment should I expect to have to acquire to bring a glass of water to room temperature? Once ably equipped, how does one go about actually bringing water to room-temperature? Thanks in advance, John |

Preferably the room should be part of a house to acheive normal results. Place glass with water in it in the room. Precision results require the glass be placed in either the geographic center or the thermal average center of the room; for home study, anywhere near the middle of the room will serve, as long as the windows are closed. Observe temperature of water in glass alternating with temperature readings of room in a series of locii around the outside of the glass, but one foot away. When the set of temperature readings stabilize within +- .5 degrees F of each other you have succeeded. A |

24 Oct 05 - 03:53 PM (#1589897) Subject: RE: BS: New Game: Threads We Ain't Seen Yet From: Janie I did a search and could find nothing on this, so I'm starting a new thread. Hope I'm not duplicating a topic. I'm wondering about 'catters theories on how Bill Monroe was able to hit those really high notes. I was priviledged to see Bill perform at a number of festivals over the years, and I observed that he would tap his foot extra vigerously when reaching for those contra-tenor notes. I'm wondering if he tied a string to his big toe, ran it up his pants leg, and attached it to a rubber band wrapped around the family jewels. If that wouldn't deliver that "high lonesome" sound I can't think of what would. Any help or other ideas appreciated. Janie |

24 Oct 05 - 07:11 PM (#1590058) Subject: RE: BS: New Game: Threads We Ain't Seen Yet From: Peter Kasin ADVICE SOUGHT: HOW DO I COOK HOTDOGS? Greetings, anonymous guest. Are you ever smart to remain anon ymous. Just the same, here's a step--by-step recipe from the new cookbook, "Nigella Lawson's 'Don't just Drool Over Me, Read The Damn Recipes' Cookbook." HOTDOGS Equipment needed: 1 pot 1 plate 1 fork Stove 1 Pckg hotdogs 1 Pckg soft, full of air, white flour buns Mustard Relish Ketchup Kitchen or kitchenette, or hotplate in lousy, ill-equipped apartment 1. Find a pot. 2. Alternating left and right feet, approach sink with pot. 3. Using the opposite hand from the one you're holding the pot in, turn on the cold water tap and fill the pot three-quarters full. 4. Again, alternating left and right feet, walk to stove, turn it on medium high, and rest the pot of water on the stove. bring to boil. 5. Walk to refrigerator and pull out a package of hotdogs. Opening The Package: If you're living with someone, grab the package from the center and pull apart. I you live alone, grab the top corner of the package with your teeth and tear. If one or two hotdogs fall on the floor, let out a curse. You have 5 seconds to pick them up before they would need to be rinsed. Cooking The Hotdogs: Drop a hotdog or two or three carefully into the pot of boiling water. Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for tenfive or ten minutes, depending if you like your hotdogs juicy or split-open from overcooking. With a fork, remove hotdogs from pot, and place in buns set out on a plate. Spread with mustard and relish. Take the bottle of ketchup and return it to the fridge or shelf, reminding yourself that you prefer mustard and relish only on your hotdog, reserving the ketchup for the main course, hamburger.

Could The Four Seasons be considered a Northern Outpost of the "High Lonesome Sound"? ("Ah'd Like to introduce yew tew AWL the Frankie River Valley Boys....

Now insert the name Larry Stephenson for Bobby Osborne and try again. Try to tell the difference. Finally, how come the Osborne Brothers never released a Gospel album called, "Hallelujah!-Osborne Again!"? Sorry folks, Osborne the Hell out of you, ain't I? |
