Has anyone noticed the guesthouse out back? Big enough for concerts, if a wall or two is taken out. Any carpenters here? (We can always put them back, if Amos isn't as charmed as I foresee.)

I came down here for the mild San Diego spring, so please keep christmas and the snow over on the north side of the house and yard. I'll set up the grill over here and hang out with my shady hat and a cool drink. The patio has nice view of the beach.

Belize? I've figured Amos would have headed for the Andes for a reunion. 'Splain it to me, Kingfish! Anyway. Amos in the right direction, and we'll find the place....


Does an Eartha Kitt come pre-assembled, require batteries or come with an optional Catwoman costume?


I guess it follows that if the Winter Tavern always came with a beach, the San Diego version should come with an ice rink. Gnu will either manage to show us how to curl, or manage to straighten us out, maybe both.....

I checked out the bathrooms. Too big to allow for any adventures in there. Liz will be disappointed...

Didn't Cletus and Paw have some sort of adventure with blow up Mary dolls and rockets????? I suspect the local fire department would prefer we not shoot flaming Paris Hiltons into the surrounding hills - too bad.

That Mastodon steak might be nice marinated and stuck on sticks. Maybe some mushrooms, carrots and summer squash. I'll cut up the veggies (humming: I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden).

I dunno - a blow-up Paris Hilton might be more aesthetic...oh, you said blown-up. Never mind.

SRS, I like the library, but a lot of those books don't look very well-read. You might check to see if that's where he keeps the good booze - in something like this. Just don't let Rapaire in there. He might go into spasms of jealousy, and I doubt that the City of Pokateller would let him duplicate it.

Does anybody know when Amos is coming back? And please pass me another Moose Drool.

Sorry I'm late. I couldn't find any aurochs skirt steak - But I've got Mastadon. Will that do?

And a half dozen dodo's all stuffed and ready to go into an earth oven. I figure we can dig it in the center of that garden over there...tyeah, the one with the roses and stuff; he ground should be easy to dig.

Good idea Jacqui. I'll also get the Eartha Kitt Christmas tree singing Santa Baby - I think these should all go on the roof with the creche, santa and reindeers, Frosty the Snowman bellowing "Ho Ho Ho!" and those adorable elves. Whew! hard work.

time for a break - any Egg Nog around?

Revenge for all those mean snipes at those of us who live in colder temperatures.

Has anyone ordered a snow machine? I have a yen for skiing. If we point it at the top of the house, we can create a ski run right down to the meadow. Screw the gardens. They'll grow back.

Oh look! The basement door opens right into the Tavern. Bring in the Christmas Tree, the duck, the cats, the squid,...what else????

He has been buying some nice garden furniture in Mexico! I love the rustic pine look of that portable cantina.

Be careful when you move it away from the hot tub that you don't break any of the glassware or bottles. . .

By the way, some of them drool so don't confuse it with...oh, never mind.

Guess What! Amos went to Belize for a little while, so his best friends over at the Mother of All BS Threads (MOAB) are hosting a little party at his house in his absence. Janie has already rigged up a beautiful hot tub there (please link it over here, Janie) and each of you all should find the perfect accoutrement we can add to his house or yard (it's the LEAST we can do!) as a way to say "thank you for being the host with the most!"

MMario, could you see if we have any auroch skirt steaks in the freezer at the original tavern? Since this is San Diego, I think we should go for something Mexican/Southwestern to start with, and have fajitas. Skirt steaks are great for that. I don't remember if you had any over-sized poultry, but that also works well.

Booze. Bert's card will work, but Amos apparently left one we can use also. We can split the purchases between them.

Liz, I hope you'll bring along your photos from your recent travels, and if you brought back any interesting souvenirs, this would be the perfect occasion for show and tell.

If Severn comes over, I suggest he avoid the hot tub.

Rapaire, no sharp objects near the pool flotation devices. Guns and knives should stay in Idaho.

Does anything else occur to anyone that we need, in order to set out on an excellent Mudcat Tavern adventure?
