Can I bring my cats?

Can I bring my cats?

That's a nice offer, but we should have plenty of food already!

[grisgris]

I know that is Nate that posted that. Don't make me bring you very pissey little sister Kibbie to whoop your ass Pumpklin.

Aw, you know I could never eat cat, babee! I have two of my very own (well, they're Nance's, but it's all the same). Besides, they're too boney. ;)

[Staxsun]

Totally unfair. I think any cat with a credit card, sixty-two dollars and proper identification should be allowed to attend. Quite possible that they're Fisheads. Just keep 'em away from the crawfish.

[breambob]

I can tell it's an orange cat, I love orange cats! :)

Refresh the page !!!

I took him in off the street when he was about a 4 week old. I called him "Naranca" because of his color. Fit in the palm of my hand. Not any more, he's about a 4 yo now.

Baby Grisgris loves the dancing kibbie.

Annie's a little shy at first, but a party animal when she gets going! :D

[grisgris]

Did Annie get her Mr Fuzzie Kathie? If not I can send you one.

[saturn]

No - does Lis have it?

[grisgris]

No - does Lis have it?

Yes, but if she lost it or Betty took it, I can mail you one.;)

[Amy Winette]

Calvin's got a bit too much cattitude to bring to the patry, he might hurt someone. His arch-rival neighbor cat looks just like your orange kitty Mac, Calvin's got another nice fresh scratch above his eye today from his escapades.

Meeko is scared of his shadow. Bringing him to the patry would only serve to further traumatize the wussie.


http://myspace-784.vo.llnwd.net/00866/48/71/866501784_l.jpg


Miss fat ass here would eat all the food, so I don't think she's a good patry guest either.


http://myspace-346.vo.llnwd.net/00866/64/32/866502346_l.jpg


So while I'm all for cats at the patry, I don't think I'll be bringing any of mine :)

[pokerchick66]

Amy, I like Meeko! Too cute. :D

[Amy Winette]

He's a sweet fuzz, but he really is a freak!!

Now our dog, on the other hand, would be a great patry guest! Cut down on clean up, he'll just follow the food around eating anything that is dropped.

Hi guys, I have a question: Are patry tickets transferable? What if I buy a couple and find out that I can't go?

[Corona]

Yes, but if she lost it or Betty took it, I can mail you one.;)
I got it, I got it! ....it's ready for the mail today instead of me waiting until I see you. We forgot at Christmas time lol!

[Corona]

Nice thread drift you freaky cat people!!! lmao

Okay so the patry tickets go on sale tomorrow at 6p.m. EST. Anyone have any questions???? ;)

hmmmmm.... another possible response to Pokie's "that cat is scaring me"... might have been,..

"and this cat doesn't???" :p .......................

[Amyloves...]

Michelino....yes, I think they're transferable. If you can't go, there will be others on here to buy you out I'm sure!

[ozzie]

Didn't evil half say that ID at entrance had to match purchase?

[Amyloves...]

Um, oh yeah, forgot about that. I guess the transfer would need to be communicated to the powers that be so they know who's who. I'm sure someone with a clue will answer this question better than I can.

HELP!

[ozzie]

BUT, going by Az's efforts last year.... I'd say if you have tix but can't go, then auction them off on ebay and donate the funds to NOMC.

I got a question: where is it?

[funkkjunkie]

It's in New Orleans. Easy to get to. Location to be disclosed after ticket purchase to avoid gate crashers.

[Mardigrasbaby35]

Nice thread drift you freaky cat people!!! lmao

Okay so the patry tickets go on sale tomorrow at 6p.m. EST. Anyone have any questions???? ;) :confused: :confused: Yes, i have a question please please please someone help - i understand that we buy the tickets through a paypal account - okay, so i've set up the paypal account (even given my bank info. so it could be verified) - do i need to do anything else, like transfer $120 to the paypal account so i'll be ready tomorrow at 6:00est to buy the tickets....this pay pal thing just has me sooooo confused:confused:

[ibjamn]

If you set up your paypal account with a credit card or your bank account, you should be all set. :)

Not positive but I think you need to have the $120 in your paypal account already. You better go ahead and transfer just to be on the safe side. I hope your bank's not like mine; it takes them a few days to transfer to paypal.

Good luck.

MGbaby...just make sure there's room on your credit card, you'll be fine...and make sure your credit card info on paypal is correct....okay?

[ohio]

I got a question: where is it?
For security and other purposes, we don't want to advertise the address. All ticket purchasers will be emailed that info after ticket sales close. Rest assured it is in Nola. Email the webmaster at threadheads.org and he might tell you ;)

I ask that those who know the location will keep it to themselves. Thanks!

[mdfest]

Its at the Superdome- dont tell!

The site we use for ticket sales now allows anyone with a credit card to make purchases. You don't have to have a Paypal account personally, though it does speed up the transaction. This will be true for Threadhead Charity Raffle tickets as well.

About Paypal: Generally, a Paypal account is backed by your checking account as the primary funding source, and then you may add credit cards as optional funding sources. So, when you get to the transaction screen when using Paypal to make a purchase, you choose whether to use the primary funding sourse (your checking acct.) or swith to an optional source (credit card you have added to Paypal acct.).

[pokerchick66]

MGbaby...just make sure there's room on your credit card, you'll be fine...and make sure your credit card info on paypal is correct....okay?

Well that explains it. I didn't have a credit card when I got paypal so no credit card info on mine. I just used my bank account.

Damn you, MD!

What a beautiful dog, Amy. What kind is he?

Thanks Neen! He's a smooth collie, so just like any other collie but with short hair. He's a sweetie pie :)

I love those sugar gliders Paul! I think cats would eat them though. They are soo cute :)

[Amyloves...]

MGbaby, as I recall, it's a very simple process using paypal to pay. When you're going to pay for the tix it should prompt you to log into paypal and once you do that, you're just confirming payment amount. The payment will be handled however you told paypal to do your payments. I use paypal for ebay purchases and it's a piece of cake.

[Mardigrasbaby35]

thanks to all for the paypal info.....

[stlbarb]

i bought via a transfer last year. yes, the adults in charge need to know the new names, and they seemed to want to validate that you were connected. as a full time Kat and a part-time TH, i fit the profile.

[mdfest]

I had 3 extras last year that i sold to one of the Kats- was that you Stlbarb?

[ohio]

I had 3 extras last year that i sold to one of the Kats- was that you Stlbarb?And we all met at the SuperDome, and then you woke up.

[luvdancin]

And I was one of the recipients of those tickets that stlbarb had, so I thank you very much, mdfest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2ForTheFest]

Yes you can transfer the tickets if you end up needing to...the same info applies only your name comes off the list and the new names go on.
Just please make sure to let us know so we have the correct names. Please use the email address patrytixcoordinator@yahoo.com only. This keeps is private and I'm sure not to miss it.

Please don't post any transfers of tickets on here..it might get lost in the frey.
We'd hate to not let someone who really did pay for tickets in.

[stlbarb]

guilty as charged.
have i ever thanked you properly?

[stlbarb]

after we purchase, and we receive the ultra secret location, will we also receive a password, special knock, &/or secret handshake?

[stlbarb]

what's going to happen to the TH website when 100 people try to access it at the same time?

[NeenAtlanta]

Thanks Neen! He's a smooth collie, so just like any other collie but with short hair. He's a sweetie pie :)

He seems much smaller than a collie, but of course, that could be all hair. I've never seen one except quick glances on a dog show. What a beauty.

The peeps in charge of this sure are all Boris and Natasha like,.. but nevertheless my Moose and Squirrel sugar gliders will overcome all attempts to exclude them.....

I have trained them to snag and extricate anything that remotely looks like crawfish bread.... Beware the super flyin' marsupials.... Also keep in mind the shuggies are not toilet trained,.. or else I would have said keep an eye out for the super flyin' marsupials... Your eyes,.. your risk......

And no supper jokes from you cat and dog people...

[PaulC]

Amy,.. that last one was for you...

Your animals are safe,... as long as they are smart enough to stay away from the bread (that almost beat the fest singlehandedly)...........

after we purchase, and we receive the ultra secret location, will we also receive a password, special knock, &/or secret handshake?uh oh...if you don't already know the secret handshake, then you won't receive the secret location....

One more like that and their instructions will be modified,.. and that's one mod sqaud ya' don't want to deal with.... (hint,.. all things shuggie that giggle are not jello).........

[stlbarb]

the one, and probably only, time i'm serious about something....
and i get the most responses, of course none of them were serious.

we broke the Cardinals site in 2005 for playoff tickets, and our internet access at work was at capacity. those are huge systems.
how many servers are supporting the threadhead site? ;)

[swag]

Internet service to the entire eastern half of the country will shut down.

It's even worse than that!

threadheads.org is hosted on the same server as swagland.com...

[stlbarb]

how many hits a day are you getting, and what percent increase do you see daily as we get closer to fest?

i suggest you do a big backup tonight.

[Amy Winette]

He seems much smaller than a collie, but of course, that could be all hair. I've never seen one except quick glances on a dog show. What a beauty.

Aww, thank you Neen! He is a skinny little guy, only about 55 pounds (I think male collies are supposed to be 65-75). He's active and isn't that fond of his dry food (people food, different story) ;)

[Amy Winette]

Amy,.. that last one was for you...

Paul, I am afraid I'm not going to think they're as cute if they're stealing my crawfish bread!!

That dog probably eats better than I do. ;)

[Amy Winette]

It's really amazing how much a dog can eat and still stay 55 pounds . . . Someone should figure out the secret to their metabolism and market it . . . Or is it just youth? Sigh ;)

ALL ABOUT TESTUDO
http://www.umd.edu/Pictures/testudo/fade2.jpg

Testudo, the official mascot of the University of Maryland, is not your ordinary Diamondback terrapin. For over sixty years, he has been the symbol for this campus, overseeing us in good times and bad. It is not easy work, and Testudo has experienced firsthand the dangers involved in being a source of campus pride.

Testudo got his start back in 1932, when then football coach Dr. H. Curley Byrd recommended that the Diamondback terrapin be made the school mascot. It is also the Maryland State Reptile. The suggestion was in response to The Diamondback's (the school paper, even back then) search for a new "official" mascot. Before this search, Maryland teams were called the Old Liners. The terrapin, a turtle native to the Chesapeake Bay, seemed a great choice and a logical one coming from Byrd. His native Crisfield, MD was famous for its terrapins.

While the origin of the terrapin as school mascot is well known, why the mascot was named Testudo is more mysterious. One leading contender for the name's origin is that it was derived from the scientific classification for turtle, testudines. Another theory is that the name is from testudo gigantia, a species native to the African country Seychelles and the remote island Aldabra. Finally, the derivation of the word testudo itself comes from the Latin word for a protective shelter used for Roman soldiers heads, similar to a tortoise shell.

On the suggestion of Ralph I. Williams, president of the Student Government Association, the Class of 1933 decided to give a bronze replica of the new mascot as its graduation gift. The Class raised money for the sculpture by holding its Junior Senior German (aka the Senior Prom) on campus instead of at an expensive Washington hotel. Additional funds came from the student yearbook The Reveille (renamed The Terrapin in 1935), which was managed by Harry E. Hasslinger. Once the Class of 1933 came up with the funds for the bronze terrapin, the SGA donated money for the base.

[Image: A Diamondback Terrapin.] In order to make the mascot a reality, Byrd suggested contacting Edwin C. Mayo, President of Gorham Manufacturing in Providence, RI. Mayo was a former quarterback for the University and member of the Class of 1904. He agreed to produce the 300 pound bronze terrapin at cost. Sculptor Aristide B. Cianfarini cast the sculpture, assisted by Robert Hill. He used a live Diamondback as a guide, brought to Rhode Island by Ralph Williams.

On May 23, 1933, Testudo was unveiled to the world. The live terrapin used as a model had a ribbon attached to it, which was in turn attached to the canvas covering the sculpture. And as the smaller terrapin struggled forward, Testudo was revealed for the first time.

At first, Testudo had his perch in front of Ritchie Coliseum. Unfortunately, this relatively open spot soon became the scene of multiple crimes against the unguarded mascot, including painting, defacing the pedestal, and kidnapping. In 1947, when Testudo was captured by Johns Hopkins students, many Maryland students rushed to Baltimore and laid siege the building where the mascot was held. Even though 200 police were called to control the riot, the "siege" quickly turned into a party.

Soon after, Testudo was again snatched from his perch. Two years later, Byrd, now president of the University, received a call from a University of Virginia fraternity telling him to please get Testudo off their lawn.

[Image: A costumed Testudo began making his rounds in the 1970's.] With Testudo safely recovered, he was hidden in a campus carpentry shed until 1951. It had become apparent that greater security measures were needed to protect him. George O. Weber, Director of Physical Plant at College Park, and Class President for the Class of 1933 was determined to protect the campus mascot. So Testudo was filled with 700 pounds of cement and attached to his new perch in front of Byrd Stadium with long steel rods and hooks. While this put a stop to the terrapin-napping, painting was still a problem, especially by Johns Hopkins students. During one episode, Maryland students caught some Hopkins students in the act and promptly shaved their heads.

However, Testudo was swiftly becoming much more than a symbol of Maryland's athletics. He had found his way into the hearts of the entire student body. So when McKeldin Library was constructed in the 1960's, Testudo was uprooted from his stadium pedestal and carefully carried by students to his new home overlooking McKeldin Mall.

And from this central campus perch, Testudo has continued his vigil at Maryland. In 1983, the then fifty year old Testudo was rededicated and restored to his former glory by the Class of 1933. He finally received help in his watch over campus in 1992, when a bronze twin to Testudo was created and placed outside the Football Complex locker room.

And while Testudo continues to preside over campus, myths continue to surround the 1000 pound mascot. Rubbing his nose is supposed to bring good luck (hence Testudo's unusually shiny nose).

Whatever the truth may be, it seems that one thing is for sure--Testudo will continue to be a central figure at the University of Maryland for quite a long time to come.

Whew, didn't think it would go that quick. My confirmation e-mail is time stamped at 6:22, so must have got some of the last ones. I set my cell phone alarm for 5:55. Right about 6 my business partner gets an e-mail that was earthshaking news regarding the project we've been working on for the last 1-1/2 years and hoped to continue working on for the next couple. All up in the air now; I might have lots of free time come Jazz Fest. So we talked about that for the next 18 or so minutes, with me checking my watch occasionally.

Worked it out with him and he actually gave me permission and highfived me ( with the good hand ) when I showed him the receipt. Sweeeeettttttttt
