What Do You Think?

[jilly]

I've been thinking about this for a while and I've come to the conclusion that mistoffelees is Socrateaser.

Musical: Cats
Song: Mr. Mistoffelees  
 
You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn

Presto!

And you'll all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

He is quiet and small
He is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail

He can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving you into believing
That he's only hunting for mice

He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

His manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But his voice has been heard on the roof
When he was curled up by the fire

And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
When he was about on the roof
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)
Which is uncontestable proof

Of his singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call
Him in from the garden for hours
When he was asleep in the hall

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Presto!

You know. . . . .

At first I thought "nahhh", but then I went back and re-read some of Mistoffelees postings. Hmm.

Remember that Soc told us that he'd fill us in on everything one day----why he did what he did? Mistoffelees' postings have him in the middle of a custody battle and in mediation right now. I always thought Soc was older and was at least at the tail end of his journey through family courts.

However, I remembered something that Mixed Bag said. She's a mediator in her state, but said she had to step away from that right now because she found that she couldn't give unbiased advice while she was going through her current divorce.

Could someone else have had to step away from giving possibly biased advice in their role as an attorney due to their own situation? And maybe just be a "regular Joe" for a while?

It's a good theory you've got. Perhaps Mistoffelees will wander on over this way and either have a giggle at us, or fess up.

Nope. Sorry. I have no legal training at all.
