Star Beward?

The Star Beward always to be on the other side of the room from the port, especially when you need some. He/she always thinks themself in the right, while somehow the port always seems to get left. They give you a polite bow accompanied by a stern look while you're left holding a stem on the right side of the room. You wonder if the old or young poop in question is playing with a full deck.

"Do you want to see the Star Beward list or the Port list to chose your wine, sir?"

Neither list will be enough to result in much of a tip.

Can you help me out of this jello pit please? The squid asked me to grab his tentacle, so I did, he farted and blew himself right out the side door into the backass of beyond, and I landed here in the jello.

It's been quite nice, but I've run out of Long Island Iced tea... now the old liver has been confirmed as not alcoholic, I'm back on the good stuff.

The ladies will have to start lining up at the Gents again. There'a always room for Jello and the ladies has been temporarily designated as the Jello Room. This clean-up could take some time, so thank you for showing us your latest film, Liz! Now go wash it off, for Gawd's sake!......

Liz,

Did you eat lunch with Bruce Murdoch? We have a purple thread going elsewhere and now you have a whole head full of them! Or was it the reaction to the sepia squid ink?

Anyway, your hair "is to dye for", as soon as possible.

Mmm... interesting question. 5 years in a friend's freezer didn't seem to do the bottle of aquavit we have any harm....

Well, the purple hair may be a consequence of all that tea you had saturday, Liz. Or that may have been the rose vodka I ended up drinking....

In the words of 'the man' - It's too darn hot...! I'm a pale and tender limey. What do I know of 30 degrees celcius???? Where's the bleedin' rain they keep promising me??? It's too hot even for (I can't believe I'm saying this...) gin!

"Purple Hair!
All on your brain..."

Is it gone yet? Are you blonde or squid sepia brown? Or are you going to keep it purple, being one of the valliant who dye but once?

Who will stay purple longer, you, Limpet or Bruce Murdoch?


Remember, Folksingers are supposed to always let their roots show, even if they often keep their sources hidden, hence all the songs about the color of their love's true hair.....


Of course no Knight or Squire's son in any of these songs has ever paused mid-song to say, "Wait! You're not naturally flaxen", or golden or whatever, they just go minding their own pleasure, and sometimes even hers.....

Yep, all in the same glass, or blended. Creme de cacao in place of the mint is good, too. Sugar, alcohol, and caffiene.

Sinth I'm also diabetic, I can only enjoy it virtually.

Two weeks vacation coming up starting Saturday, and I can hardly wait. It will be a staycation; catching up on yardwork in the very hottest part of the year.

But I had a bumper crop of blueberries this year (3 bushes), and the bacon, basil and tomato sandwiches are just starting. I love this part of summer. Except for the water bills.

An Ark Of Triumph like Noah and his wife Joan sailed to glory in?

It may not be needed yet, but then on the other hand, both BeheMoth and RavenKitty are now sitting in the rafters, though the Squid's not complaining. Not a good omen, though.

When the house band up on the riser stage strikes up "Nearer My God To Thee" or even "Five Feet High and A-Risin" ", I'm bailing out.

Still, Singapore Slings and Eros, even if costing an outrageous fortune, sound like a solution.

Has this place ever flooded before? If we open all the doors, will more dampness come in, or will the existing stuff flow out, say, down to the beach and out to the sea? There may be Monseen and Typheen coming from those directions, as well.

If we do let some water flow through here, it could flush out the Jello Pit and the rest of the mess on the floor while we stand on the tables and watch. But how long will the weather last?

Is this Class Percipitation Time, Kiddies? Here we come, weather or not!

I can handle anything the Tropics throw at me, though. I'm a Capricorn and am a Cancer Survivor, as well. And I know a few vulgar boatmen's songs and shanties if we have to take the next thing floating out of here. Our chef Mmario could cook up some of Noah's Auroch to eat on the boat.

I don't think we need this to turn into a Gilligan situation, but reserve me two seats on the isle, just in case.

It could very well end very soon, and a rainbow is actually the best arc to send for or grow, as long as you don't take it as a sign from God an' start worryin' 'bout de fire nex' time.......
