In my own peculiar way......

[msattler]

Do not draw or fire upon me, it shall be your last.


I know things that could bring it all down.

All I want is invincibility from the mods.......from here everafter, no questions asked. Ever.

[msattler]

Your call................

Down ya go...

[msattler]

I have tried to explain as best I can......
Prine did it better in this interview with Bobby Bare......when it wuz just classed a 'conflict'.....

The story of Sam Stone...

I know few if any of you are vets of Nam.....and could care less about my ramblings about such......it was not your war to win or lose.

[msattler]

There are some things I have to express........

I had a post long ago called 'late night gas station gurlz' or something to that effect.
I ran out to my usual station to get a pack of smokes.
My usual gurl wuz not there, so I asked about her.
Now, I am 55, and she must be in her late 20's, but she was always sooooooo kind to me.
I remarked that she was always so sad, and the one behind the counter today agreed.
Her name is Emily.........

'Emily, sweet Emily.......
You do not know how kind I find thee.
Big dark eyes and small of frame
In my heart you shall remain."

Emily, return to me.......
You don't realize what you mean to me.
I only saw you when I was lost....
Don't think you quite know at what my cost.

But a smile you always gave to me,
come again, sweet Emily.

[msattler]

Pardon me, I had to pound that out whilst it was still rattling about my brain.

[msattler]

There are reasons I do not run across the highway to Meownards all the time.
I was dealing with a major plumbing issue yesterday......which has a story in it's own right.

But Mike, at the Kitz and Pfiel (True Value)  hardware store just a few blocks  from my house, came up with a solution.

And that is why I patronize my local hardware store when I can....they really are just a few cents more at times, and the friendship is, as they say, is worth millions.

[msattler]

I thought my ban might expire before I lost this link........

Something I have to share before  I die.
I try to disseminate what little is there on the web that is good.
There is much that is not.

I spend hours upon hours and try to only report back what the kitties qualify.
This does.

Her lyrics are a bit rough, but her soul is intact, as they say.

Pardon me for intruding on the space here.......

Her name is Marika. Yeah, the female moniker of Mark.

[msattler]

That's what I always done.
Wallk with my back to the train.........

Been run over acouple of times.
Outran a few.  Some not.

Seen a lotta freight trains in my life.

Oh, the song is another Prine wonder.

One more liink, err, landmine, I must plant before I go otherwheres.0

Another Prine song. 

In spite of oursellves.


Enjoy, all I have to share today. [

[msattler]

As the Seti forums seem to be down, I must share a couple of thingys here.
LOL, no, I am not banned again.

I am a man of faith.  My faith.  Does not have to be yours at all unless you wish it to be.

But, I ran across a couple of songs by Sam Cooke that have simply astounded me.  I guess I only knew the few bits he did that were mainstream commercial stuff.  I did not realize how strong his spiritual roots were.

Enjoy if you will.

Must Jesus Bear That Cross Alone

And this is a killer of a cut........
Nearer My God To Thee - Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers

[msattler]

Well, I done it again......
Went off the deep end and dissed the mods.
I deserved it.
As usual, my fault, no fault of the mod crew.  They just did what they had to do.

I'll continue to crunch 'em up and hand 'em in.  The kitty crunching farm is doing well these days.

See 'yall back at the  ranch some time soon.......I hope.

[msattler]

Pardon me whilst I read a prepared statement from the kitties........

You may transfer this message to all appropriate individuals.
I will, of course, post it myself when I am allowed to.

Text, verbatim.......

I shall, as usual, apologize for my ban inducing outrage.
I always do.  Those of you who are my friends and have known me for years know this is not, unfortunately, unusual.

I am a kitten.  I really when it comes down to it, hate nobody.  I would not even think about hurting anybody.  At least physically.

The problem comes when my brain chemicals start to get stale and then I start to drink in abundance.
Some of my most interesting posts come when I've had just a few.....my mind needs to be lubricated to start to spin, you see.

I am OK to a point.......and when that threshold is crossed, I go Burger.

Burger....you do remember the Burger kitty vid, do you not?

This is Burger......Not pretty....

That is me on a real whiskey bender.  Sorry, kitties. I know I do get like that. 

It hurts me very badly to be dissed from the Seti community.  There are always some things I should like to share while I cannot.
And that makes me cry sometimes.

I hope I did not make anybody cry by my stupid outbursts.

I know my apologies are repetitive, but they are sincere.

Accept them if you shall, or diss me if you must.
Any advice about my drinking habits has been repeated ad infinitum, so, please don't again.  I really have the gyst.
I have my detractors, but I have a few friends, I still think.

I shall struggle through my unkind habits and do the best I can.  If, you can, please understand.

If you cannot, well, I best not post what I think about that.  Just please, my friends, the few I might still have left.
Don't go Burger on me.
And always know.....the kittyman is watching.

Meow, Mark, the kittyman.

[msattler]

In spite of it all...........

You can all diss me as much as you want. .......

\Point is, I love the project more than most. and you can get your ya ya's off calling me whatever you want, kids.
/
The believers know where I am at..


I always loved the story behind the Oscar wiener stuff........there is some background.
But, unless asked for it, I shall save it for a different day.
Ask for the wiener.........

By PM, I think now.   

[msattler]

I think a few of you have my personal email, you might use it now............
