Subject: A Mudcat Race??? From: GUEST,jonothan Date: 05 Jul 00 - 06:14 PM Isn't it time for a mudcat olympics? The golden wreath to be presented to the 'catter who can answer 10 obscure lyric queries in the fastest time. The smart money would be on Joe Offer, with Pene Azul a good bet too. There would doubtless be quieter catters, who might suprise, and come on the inside rail. I hope we can hire catspaw for the commentary J |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Jul 00 - 06:20 PM How about an instrumental obstacle race? Three blasts on the Bombarde, a quick relay with a flute and then climbing over a pile of melodeons. Or the shotput, substituting a melodeon for the shot. Discus, using a bodhrain? The javelin, where you throw a sharp pointy stick AT a melodeon. Synchronised singing..... (there has to be a first time....) Hurdles - running away from an angry audience whilst carrying a banjo? Parallel bars - two pubs on either side of the street, the skill involved would be walking down the centre of the road without going into one. I'm sure there are others, but I'm a bit frazzled today... LTS

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 06 Jul 00 - 02:20 AM Weightlifting would be humping the PA gear around, or lifting a double bass into a luggage rack. For the intelligence tests, we could have 'stowing the microphone leads so they don't end up like a plate of spaghetti when you take them out next time'. LTS

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: bbelle Date: 06 Jul 00 - 11:25 PM I'd have to sit that one out ... I don't have quite enough breast to flip over the top ... just to nestle in the curve. How 'bout a fiddle-bow-javelin-toss ... and no fair putting weights on the ends! moonchild |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 07 Jul 00 - 06:43 AM I wouldn't be able to compete with Rick's rosewood kazoo so put me down for the freestyle drool and all-comers over-50s lyric forgetting contest. RtS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: MMario Date: 07 Jul 00 - 10:33 AM Is the "Lyric Forgetting" before or after the scheduled "Mondegreen Mumbling"? They wouldn't have been so crass as to schedule them in conflict now, would they? |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Jul 00 - 12:44 PM Wait, I have to get my second autoharp out of hock (I mean repair). For the synchronized waterski event. I am sure that autoharps are better suited to this than lap dulcimers, which are too narrow. Wider is better. And with dual pickups how can I lose? Hardi will have the Bayou Butterfly (canoe) out and no doubt is ready to try for the banjo-paddle title if Jon will come over to take second paddle, but I know Rick and Bonnie will give them a real go now that she is no longer small and neophytic. Dharmabum was over at our shop yesterday with his travel guitar, and I think he will win the fingerflight event hands down. I hope Mbo gets here in time for the games, and that bes' bud Sorcha will bring along her fiddle too, for the Lisdoonvarna Marathon. I hear they been warming up with a little trip to Sligo. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: SINSULL Date: 07 Jul 00 - 01:43 PM Can I have the Jack Daniels and Guiness concessions? I'll donate a percentage to Mudcat. Maybe some vegetarian hotdogs too...
BTW where is Sorcha? I haven't heard her around Hearme or seen her posts. |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jul 00 - 01:53 PM She's at the lake, every summer...all week...:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Bert Date: 07 Jul 00 - 02:12 PM And don't forget the John Denver 'R' pronouncing contest. Countwee Woads take me home.... |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Jul 00 - 02:37 PM Oh Bert, will Baba Wawa be mod-a-wating that? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: MMario Date: 07 Jul 00 - 02:50 PM no - it will be telecast only so they can dub in Elmah Fudd. |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Sorcha Date: 07 Jul 00 - 05:07 PM OK, I'm back, and entered up in the Road to Lisdoonvarna Marathon, and the FiddleBow javelin competition, but what do I do if it goes limp? Are "limpies" allowed in competition? Will have to get tickets to the Underwater Morris Dancing, and the Parallel Bar on opening nite....(hi ya'll, I'm home!) |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jul 00 - 07:42 PM Hey, I had my honeymoon in Lisdoonvarna!! Ye Gods, it was boring.... but at least I got to drink the homemade potcheen, so I will be providing the lighting for the late night camping toilet relay.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: JenEllen Date: 07 Jul 00 - 07:43 PM Crap. I'll work on being a 'rightie' for the javelin throw, and if that doesn't work I'll be sitting under the tree briding daisy chains with my toes to garland the winners. ~Elle |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: bbelle Date: 07 Jul 00 - 07:46 PM Well, shoot, y'll! I'll teach the seminar on remedial guitar stringing ... the only 1-hour course that lasts three days! moonchild |
|
Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 Jul 00 - 07:49 PM How about the "too much time on your hands, ultimate folk-nurd olympics"? Here's the question. There will be a prize if someone can answer it in the next 2 hours. Pete Seeger used to sing traditional music duets with a young female who became a HUGE star on broadway. What's her name? |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Morticia Date: 07 Jul 00 - 07:57 PM Rick,I'm crap at these questions but I would like to put my name down for the 'get those last verses in quick before the bar closes' all-comers event and I fancy chancing my arm at the ' utterly irrelevant patter while you retune your guitar' over 500 metres......are we having prizes and if so, what will they be? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: Rick Fielding Date: 08 Jul 00 - 01:18 AM Carol Channing. Hi Morticia. The prize was 10,000 dollars. But Oh well, maybe next time. Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: GUEST,Hilary NZ Date: 08 Jul 00 - 07:57 AM I see no events for unacompanied singers yet (as usual...) how about the 800metres Standing Outside the Door Relay? In this event the challenge is to find the right key then all come in at the same time.

Subject: RE: BS: A Mudcat Race??? From: katlaughing Date: 08 Jul 00 - 06:05 PM We could also have a Stick That In Your Bag and Pipe It, to go along with the Tush-baring Kilt Rounds. |
