Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Dec 04 - 01:07 AM Ewwwwww. . . This is what I tried to say earlier (I looked at the source code--it is there, but for some reason doesn't show up) "Oops, sorry Lynne" (for some reason the "marquee" html doesn't work today) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:22 PM Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!! How did I end up on top of this bloody tree??? And with nothing on except jelly bubbles. HELP!! Get me down from here and back in the tavern!!! This car park is c-c-c-cold... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: My guru always said Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:15 PM That's enough work for one evening, decided the MadCat, stifling the impulse to play with the glass balls arrayed before her on the rafter. Determined to assist Rustic Rebel with whatever she's drinking & make up for that unfortunate episode last Christmas (or perhaps beat a hasty retreat), the sweet little Kitty spies a very useful looking crystal chandelier. Hmmm, is that really a good idea? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Dec 04 - 03:18 PM I thought that there was already a door, man. If there ain't, what do ya call that thing you have to open and close to go in and out of? (OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUCH! Glad to get that off my chest. Next time I'll wear a shirt and stick the star to that. And pants or trousers. Have to remember to wear pants or trousers, but not both. I'd wear a kilt, but the Idaho Legionaires think they're sissy, or did until a highlander tossed four or five of them like a camber, and then drew down on 'em with a priobroch. But then again, I don't have a kilt so I'll have to wear trews.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Blowzabella Date: 03 Dec 04 - 02:28 PM Heck - I'm just popping in on my way to a meeting about Premises Licenses - mind if I push in - this time next year, there'll need to be a SIA registered doorman on here probably - you do realise that, do you? Just giving fair warning you understand - or perhaps I haven't read it right...now, where did I see the reference ...page 156 of the guidance was it?.....back in a bit everyone... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 02:15 PM Chris - this party ain't even begun to happen - check back through the archives for some of the other mudcat taverns - or even better - read about our trip on the Riverboat Albert Hansell! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: chris nightbird childs Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:57 PM I think we're all certifiable... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:24 PM we are legally outside of every venue in the (humanly) known universe - that's one of the beauties of the MudCat Tavern. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: rumanci Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:14 PM no worries Chris .........the emphasis was on the certifiable ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: chris nightbird childs Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:11 PM Rum, is that you? Licensee? And ruin all the fun? HA! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: rumanci Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:09 PM you lot need a proper certified licensee in here ! I might know somebody who could qualify on both counts........ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:07 PM oh dear! more people - maybe I better add a carrot or two to the hor d'euve tray! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Dec 04 - 12:53 PM I hope it didn't hit anything important out at the edge of the parking lot. . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:37 AM Why is MMario playing with the coffe maker's bottom? Oh sorry, it's dark in here and I've only just woken up. There's a funny smell of scorched nuts in here and I'm covered in dead pine needles which I'll still be finding in July. Mind what you're doing with that tree, nearly knocked my pint over. I wouldn't bend over there MBSLynne, ouch, too late. Still we won't need to get a fairy this year and it's only until 12th night. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:08 AM Suddenly perceiving a dangerous situation, and deciding to take care of it herself, Sage whispers to the cats and ducks and they all discreetly (for cats and ducks) climb and flutter up into the brown and tinder dry tree in the rafters and remove the various glass ornaments and set them aside on the beams above. Sage signals to MMario behind the bar to push the botton on the left behind the coffee maker--no, on the LEFT! That's it--to open the big skylight on the west side of the tavern. Moonglow sets aside her math homework and climbs up to the beam to untangle the harness that the tree was suspended in. Sage nudges the slightly sloshed Rustic Rebel down one place at the bar and reaches behind it to push the button for the trebuchet harness and the dry tree rotates slowly, then lower, and finally shifts angles and is suddenly ejected butt-end first out of the skylight and lands on the far side of the gravel parking lot with a barely audible thud. Dry brown needles with the wonderful scent of the nobel fir sprinkle down onto the bar and floor. The new large fresh tree will be arriving soon. . .don't forget the ornaments are stashed on the beams. "Whew! That could have turned this place into a fire trap!" Moonglow climbs down and resumes her work. The bartender slips her a nice hot mug of mulled cider and receives a breathtakingly gorgeous smile. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:01 AM You think 80 feet of filet will be enough? The fishmonger has some Leedsichthys problematicus filets about 60 foot long - but I thought that might be a bit too much... Maybe I should get one - could always stuff it and bake it for a later course. The marinated filets are appetizers. thinly sliced, with some onion, cream cheese...mmmMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Oaklet Date: 03 Dec 04 - 10:51 AM ...knocks snow off boots. Hello - yes thanks... errr... an Oaklet please with an extra sparkler and two pickled eggs. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 10:50 AM ONe riot, one ranger? I thought the Idaho League ratio was more like ten riots, 1 ranger. DH - Can that shotgun be loaded with dry rub? I've got a a couple 40 foot filets of Rhincodon typus that needs to be marinated and smoked. That shotgun would sure help speed up the process! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Dec 04 - 10:32 AM Does that include my cousin, Carol? Now your peppering everyone and everything has put tiny little holes in the woodwork. This would normally let woodworms in, but the pepper will keep them out. So I guess it's just a case of instant antiqueing of the place. Don't forget though that I'm packin' two of Sam Colt's finest, both of 'em Walkers and I'm dead accurate with 'em. And this here star pinned to my chest gives me the authority to 'rest you. (I really should pin that star to something besides my chest sometime, I think. It's actually quite painfull and fairly bloody.) Jist remember the old story: One riot, one Ranger. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 03 Dec 04 - 10:26 AM "the band's monkey passes the tin cup" Shameless exploitation of a fellow primate! Mind you, I didn't know that monkeys could drink so much. Worse than squids. Is that the correct plural or should it be squid? Seems to be a lot of noise coming from the big round table in the middle, sounds mechanical. Oh no someone's let King Arthur and his knights in, or wait is it, yes, it's the Herga mummers on tour complete with clanking tankards. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Dead Horse Date: 03 Dec 04 - 09:01 AM I warned ya about carols in here! (donates both barrels from shotgun) P.S. Said shotgun is loaded with peppercorns, in mistake for rocksalt. Peppered behinds will, henceforth, abound! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: InOBU Date: 03 Dec 04 - 07:31 AM After turning down a gig to endorce Quaker Oats, the band Sorcha Dorcha, with Lorcan Otway, blows into the tavern, huge santa like bags of instruments to abuse. We are out of breath, as Amanda and Lorcan have had to run from an anti Amish mob, who can't tell the difference between Quaker and Amish plain dress... (there is the yearly evangelical KKK anti Amish riot which is held every year in honnor of the birth of the prince of peace, generally at a loss to stone anyone, as it is held in Rhienbec New Mexico, where there aren't many Amish, but there was this big Celtic Progressive music blow out concert... and DAMN but can't them crackers run even in those bed sheets!!!) Also out of breath is third band member Dick Cheney, who even though he is tall thin and red haired, both red and blue voters took him for the VP of the USA, and half the crowd wanted to try him for war profiteering, the other half wanted to ask for his autograph, shake his hand and lick his face for good luck. Amanda sets her bonnet straight, Lorcan pops the dents out of his broad brimmed hat and head, and Scott "Dick" Cheney glues his guitar back together and they launch into their new turned on version of Good King Wnsceslaus, while the band's monkey passes the tin cup, which becomes filled with an odd mixture of bear, rice wine, whiskey and religious tracts. The monkey downs the lot and passes out. Cheers Lor |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 03 Dec 04 - 07:08 AM The virtual fog was the problem Tel. Would you like something in your Irish coffee and tell me, please, where in Ireland do they grow the bloody stuff. Trying to get served is becoming a problem as some moustachioed fool is laying behind the bar and trying to get at the drip trays. Oh, it's only Skipy. That's all right then. The bartender's back now, having trouble with his wassail. No that's two people in a bar not two beats in a bar. Waddya mean there's no deadbeats in your bar. HA!!! You let me in. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Leadfingers Date: 03 Dec 04 - 06:31 AM I was going to look in last night ,but the virtual motorway was solid with virtual traffic doing four virtual miles a virtual hour ,so I went home sober . This is only a flying visit for a quick Irish Coffee before tonights gig . Oh Life is HARD !! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: pixieofdoom Date: 03 Dec 04 - 05:54 AM I fear that catflap may have been sealed to stop Jack getting in. Pesky pups already drunk all the sherry we were saving for Santa said some things that I wasn't entirely sure were in keeping with the festive season. Anyway, it would be best for all if he could be kept out of here, I hate cleaning vomit out of the fireplace on Christmas Eve.................Any of that foaming stuff left? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 03 Dec 04 - 05:08 AM Rustic Rebel I tried to say "OOOOOOOh yes, I'll have a brandy alexander please!" but it wouldn't let me speak! Gagged by a bloody virtual landlord!!! *sulk. Don't know if I want to come in here.... (Come on then somebody...persuade me! Pleeeease!) And Chris...Oak isn't here yet, do you mind if I put my hand on your knee until he gets here? Then we can all put our hands on each other's knees....just need Skippy and Bassic too..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Ellenpoly Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:13 AM Hmmm, just peeking in the door for the moment. I had a pretty rough time in here last year. The crowd looks friendly enough, though I do think someone should wake up that guy with the burning nuts... Nothing too crazy yet this year. I'd love to come in out of the cold and have a nice hot chocolate and sing some songs... Guess I'll wait a bit. I don't think everyone is here yet, and the mood is still in the making. Back later, folks. Save me just the tiniest piece of space by the fire (and not too close to the burning nut man) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: chris nightbird childs Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:07 AM Alright, alright Sorcha, I'll have a pint! Oak! Get yer 'and off me bleedin' knee... fresh. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 03 Dec 04 - 03:58 AM .... I don't know, you close your eyes for a few seconds and someone tries to steal your nuts. Hey you, door watcher, I know you're pissed but stop trying to cook the friggin' squid, he's just trying to get home. You try walking after eight pints and no bones in your legs. Have a mince pie. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rustic Rebel Date: 03 Dec 04 - 02:35 AM Mudcat Christmas Tavern The lights were flashing so brightly I thought I would have a hernia in my eye. Who could drive by a sign so well hung, and so entertainingly displayed in the middle of bum-fuck North-south-east-west polar rightness. Staggering in, already half baked, I wander in from the northern door. I see a wonderful assortment of people already starting to celebrate a holiday and I want to celebrate too. I have to wander the tavern to find just the right bar stool and then I had to move it down to the end of the bar where I could watch the Northern door. I was waiting for a friend to arrive with his electric washboard. Said he would meet me here. I'd like to buy the next round bartender!! Do we have a bartender? hell, set us all up with a shot of choice!! I need to start a tab. Why is the christmas tree hanging from the rafters? Is this some kinda Andy Warhol party? Well I can dig it. Tequila and plum for me, Mister Barkeep and keep them coming until I find a place to fall down by the fire, please. Oh, one more thing, if the squid is done I would like a morsel to eat before I really get fucked up, okay? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MAG Date: 03 Dec 04 - 12:08 AM Personally, I like clean. It gets me away from my house. I'm still eating stuffing casserole from (just) last week. I hate to feel rushed into Midwinter already, but then, I do love those carols. There's a bunch in the Christmas Revels Songbook which I do not know. Ahh, there is a piano over in the corner to go pick out the tunes ... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Dec 04 - 11:29 PM Dead Horse, it is the same old place, for all intents and purposes. It's just "beside itself" with pleasure over being so clean and tidy. If you go down the hall and through that coat closet you'll see the Mudcat Recovery ward, but be quiet or you'll disturb Nurse Ratched. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Dead Horse Date: 02 Dec 04 - 09:59 PM New. Cleaner. Fluffy. I dont holds with all this new fangled stuff. It aint..........traditional. I kinda liked the old place, complete with its various holes & creeping thingies..... I might try the real ale, but aint too sure about *foaming*. Last time I did *foaming* was just before the barium enema! That reminds me, where is this chap Bill gonna stick his apple? Only I've got me trusty 12 bore ready in case of carol singers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST Date: 02 Dec 04 - 09:06 PM Mudcat Tavern season doesn't officially begin until its founder, the venerable LEJ signs on and takes up his usual position. Maybe he will bring the ghosts of old Bill Lee and wife Joan with him to perform Bill's (in)famous "William Tell" trick, a highlight of the holiday and not to be missed by the kiddies... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: open mike Date: 02 Dec 04 - 07:16 PM Huzzah, Mario! great music for the occasion! and check the carols for sceptic thread for other tunes.. or is is carols for septics? speaking of which have we had the place here inspected by the health dept? warm gelatin? isn't that what they use in laboratories to grow cultures of oogly thingies? agar agar petri dishes...well as long as we put a bit of Thuja oil or eucalyptus or Tea Tree oil or bubble bath in the hot tub it might counteract any germs. and speaking of fermented things....I'll take a bit of that hard cider!! and here is a batch of peppernuts.. feffernussen....anise cookies....yum yum...careful..they are crunchy...if you've got dental probablems, you can just suck on them like my toothless old uncle used to do. dont' get any ideas now.... |

I expect I'd better start practicing Silent Night on the Bombarde..." "I've been dozing since the last one. Did that squid get home safely? I gave him a bus timetable, but he seemed to be having trouble working out the Quarter-Hours last time I saw him...." |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 02 Dec 04 - 06:22 PM Hi All! Are we going to have a Panto this year? Due to old age and informity, I don't think I can play Baron Hardup this year.... |
