Do WHAT!?!?!

[FreeTheHostages]

I have volunteered to guest-host some Freeper Finest holiday threads. 3 to be act. (1) a gingerbread house contest. (2) an intro to Mudboy Slim and (3) a Holiday Top Ten list.

For the holiday thread biographical info, we have to have some facts. If we don't have facts, we have to make them up about Mudboy Slim. So here's something utterly untraditional -- a vanity thread to use as an editing Board to create a wildly funny and only vaguely accurate biography of Mudboy Slim. My theory is to start writing one here and invite him to comment and perhaps thereby get it to be more accurate or at least more funny.

For the Top Ten List, I have to have a funny example open and need to practice and cull the best here for my opening.

And of course, for my gingerbread house web contest, I'll need to practice jpgs here.

All in all, I'm just gonna need this space to work . . . .

Whatever happened to the wheel of fish?

My lawyer has advised me to say nothing about Mr. M. Slim until the case is settled...

Mudboy Slim? What a wuss. Look at him, making a big deal out of wallowing in a little moistened dirt. Why, in my day men were men and earned their nicknames. Let me tell you about how they came to call me "Septic Tank Bill..."

With respect to the Yellow market I submit that Mudboy be relegated to the new channel further up the dial.

I know this isn't the usual type of thread that I ping the troops to, but since Mudboy Slim is a beloved member of the DC Chapter I thought that you all might like to add fact (or fancy) to the story/history of Mud.

Remember, since this thread is authored, monitored and maintained by our dear pal FreeTheHostages, creativity counts!

I've been told (OK, Mud's the one that told me this, so it may be embellished a bit) that for some time during the seventies he was involved in the Roller Derby, a career in which he earned the fortune that now allows him to write the radical songs he is now famous for.

I did a little searching on the 'net and found a couple of photos of Mudboy Slim in his Roller Derby days...

Mudboy in his early days, (notice the baby fat) wore the #36 jersey of the Richmond Renegades. Shortly after this photo was taken, Mud went on a diet and was soon traded to...

...the Petersburg Patriots, where he became a star member of the team, and it is with the Patriots that Mud made his vast fortune; which allowed him the small indulgence of buying the house of his dreams...

...which he shares with his better half, Mrs. Mud and all the little Mudrats.

That's all I have to offer of Mudboy's history for now. More to come when I can make it up...

Sigh! Have I told you lately that I like you?! 3 of 'em! THREE times in December we regular hostesses can relax just a bit and enjoy your creativity! (I know, I know - we have to take your stuff and put it with our stuff and post it - but it's YOUR STUFF we'll be working with!) LOL!

Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Mmm, the flood is threatening, my very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter, or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a thaught away, it's just a shot away

I said, love, sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, yeah

Out of respect for Mrs. Mud I have to restrain from airing any details of the alleged rendezvous between Mud & Murrymom.

(It's said though, that Mr. Slim & "M" make beautiful music together)
