Subject: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 01 Aug 02 - 01:46 AM Well, I'm not sure exactly what day last summer I first checked out Ye Olde Mudcat Café -- it was some time in July, after a friend recommended it --, but it seems my first post as an official Mudcatter was on August 1, 2001. So I just want to say it's been a really informative, fun, and worthwhile year -- even if I have spent way more time here than I should have! Thanks especially to Max, Dick G., Susan of the DT, Joe Offer, Pene Azul, Áine, Allison, Rick F. and all the Joe clones for keeping this Genie ¤:- D |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Marion Date: 01 Aug 02 - 02:02 AM Hi Genie. I haven't been that conscious of your presence for the last year, but you've certainly made an impression on me in the last few days with your thoughtfulness and willingness to be of help. And I've pointed your posts out to my mother as an explanation of why I find it so valuable to hang around on a website. Marion |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 01 Aug 02 - 02:16 AM Yeah, Marion, we've managed to miss each other's posts for the most part until recently, but it's good to have connected re the "nursing home" posts. Say hi to your mum. Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:12 AM Hi, Genie:
In my eyes, you're an old-timer. I haven't been here a year, yet. We seem to keep crossing paths on mutually interesting threads, though.
Yes, it's good to be here. After even a few months, some names become familiar and you start to feel like you know people, even if you've never p.m.d them. Some,have become friends, and I look for their names on threads and always enjoy what they've posted.
Enjoy! Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 02 - 09:54 AM Provocative?? Hell, Genie, we ain't even taken orf the gloves yet!! Ya want pro-VOC-ative? For starters I want JEn to record you and Angus at the next PNWG, doing harmony on "Waltzing with Bears" -- HIS version, please -- if the cat will let us use it on the Mudcat CD without paying through the nose in table scraps!! LOL!! Well done on surviving a year at the Cat!! You're a real asset. A |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: SharonA Date: 01 Aug 02 - 10:31 AM Congrats, Genie! It's been a year and a month since I made it official and became a member, myself. I've enjoyed your posts, as well as your very clever Song Challenge songs! Keep up the good work! :^) |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 01 Aug 02 - 03:14 PM Gee, Jerry, I thought you were MMario, it does seem like more than a year. (Strange to think about it, but I had been logging on for only about 6 weeks when the Sept. 11 attacks occurred--and they seemed to loom large in the forum for a long time afterwards.) Amos, how about we get the whole Runamuck group to sing back up to Angus on "Waltzing With Bears?" We can take up a collection for the table scraps. ;-) Sharon, you said the magic words: Song Challenge!s Our Gaelic Goddess has a lot to do with helping catters get to know each other on line, I think. ("By your fruits shall ye be known." -- Hmmmmm. In the context of the Song Challenge!s that saying takes on a frightening new meaning! *G*) Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: MMario Date: 01 Aug 02 - 03:51 PM By your fruits shall ye be known Whether drupe or pome or berry be they grain or nuts or melons If they give us food for thought okay - this isn't going anywhere...

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 02 - 04:21 PM Ye shall reap as you have sown Whacky, kind or evil very, And the fruits that you are sellin' Tell us truly what is wot!
C'mon, MM!! Ya can do it!!

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 02 - 06:00 PM To review and extend::
By your fruits shall ye be known Ye shall reap as you have sown, Gather up the fruit you've grown Thus the oldest air is known-- And when winter winds are blowin, Yes the chill that Winter's blown |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Willa Date: 01 Aug 02 - 06:42 PM Oops; got confused there (must have been the sherry) When the laden tables groan We will sip a Christmas sherry In our warm and cosy dwellin And then dance a wild gavotte |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 02 - 06:51 PM What care we for hearts of stone? Those whose tonguesa are barbed and serried? Those who bother us with sellin'? Dance with us, oh, these shall not! Where the wild Imagines roam, Fueled by grape and love and perry, We abandon cruel melan- Choly for a wilder trot! |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 01 Aug 02 - 10:34 PM Hi, Willa. I don't think we've "met," have we? Thanks for contributing to this lyric masterpiece! Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Date: 02 Aug 02 - 11:39 AM Another sub-1-year catter here who agrees that the crack here is as good as you'll find in any café. It's a slightly odd feeling to begin to know, to appreciate, to respect and even regard in some small way as friends, people of whom I've only met a handful and most of whom I'll surely never meet. There really is such a thing as a virtual community, and the good folks whom I've met here more than compensate for the small percentage of a******s who spread their poison posting as GUEST [anon]. Thanks for the company. Roger |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 02 Aug 02 - 01:19 PM Roger, greetings to another relative newbie! But I thought that was spelled "craic." (Or did you mean the other kind? *G*) I fully echo your sentiments about the Mudcat virtual community. Just look what poesy hath sprung full blown from the venerable pates of MMario, Amos, and Willa, on the heels of mine own casual Biblical allusion. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 02 Aug 02 - 01:24 PM Yeah, Genie -- ya gotta watch where you drop them allusions. The doggerel around here is downright feral! LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: MMario Date: 02 Aug 02 - 01:31 PM Mudcatters should be more then a match for feral doggerel |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 02 Aug 02 - 02:13 PM LOL, MM! Our karma will squash them doggerel flat!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Oaklet Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:30 PM And if it weren't for Genie, I'd be condemned to post drivel in monochrchrome untill lured to my watery grave by Sireen - and I've only been here for a few months myself. You can probably tell I haven't stolen one of them Netscapes off anyone yet. But I will and when I do I'm going to drivel in green. Or yellow. |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Willa Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:35 PM Ouch, Amos!!! And we shall not dance alone. May the gathered throng be merry, And the glorious voices swellin Make this place a hallowed spot |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Willa Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:36 PM Genie, Apologies for the thread creep! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: MMario Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:37 PM Oakley -Not yellow - please; it's very hard to read. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: MMario Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:41 PM hey! Amos? Did she call us OLD? venerable: -conveying an impression of aged goodness and benevolence: impressive by reason of age |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Willa Date: 02 Aug 02 - 04:45 PM Oh, the shame; I've repeated a rhyme!. Please amend last verse as follows: And we shall not dance alone. Let no one be sedentary, And the glorious voices swellin' Make this place a hallowed spot |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 02 Aug 02 - 05:04 PM Oh, she's just tryin' to pull my beard, MM -- it amuses her! :>) Willa, wonderful stuff! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Willa Date: 02 Aug 02 - 05:50 PM Yea, though hearts be hard as stone, Full of gloom extraordinary, There will be no use rebellin', Pure enjoyment is our plot. (That's it for now; good fun though) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 02 Aug 02 - 07:26 PM Wandering through the world alone, Finding none to share out story Waery of the world's pell-melling, With our hearts and spirits shot, Come as though to spirit home, To the end of ponderance hoary, Where the heart alone is telling, Jelly roll, and sweet Gavotte! |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Bobert Date: 02 Aug 02 - 09:16 PM Congrates, Genie. Think you got my boney Wes Ginny butt beat by a few months. When I first read one of your posts I thought you were one of the, how to say it... ahhhh, old timers. Hey, that just means that you have the old timers wisdom and worldliness that some of the "real" ol' catfolk have. Actually, I was wonderin' how you did it 'cause you don't look a day over 17 to me.... Hmmmmmm? So, to you, Genie... Here's hoping you many many more years of scratching litter here in the box... (Clink...) Bobert |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 03 Aug 02 - 01:29 AM Well, Bobert, when I was a teenager I thought folks of my current (quasi-venerable) age were ANCIENT! I guess, in Mudcatter terms, I'm kinda middle-aged. (Don't tell anyone, but I'm the same age as Sir Paul McCartney, give or take a few months.) Thanks for the good thoughts. (And keep writing those songs. You're doing great.) Amos, that beard you had a few months ago just screamed "Pull me! Pull me!" But ya went and trimmed the danged thaing, so ya doesn't look like Gabby Hayes any more! MMario, my calling you folks "old" would be a bit ironic (but, to paraphrase the old joke, "if the foo sh*ts..."). Amos is a mere child by comparison. ;- ) Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 02 - 10:38 AM LOL, Genie. What a sweet compliment!! :>) Thank you! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Year At Mudcat -- and loving it! From: Genie Date: 03 Aug 02 - 04:11 PM Which one, Amos? My saying ya doesn't look like Gabby any more or the "mere child" label? ;- ) |
