Subject: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: JenEllen Date: 27 Jun 03 - 02:34 PM "Wow, it's been a long time since we've used this place....."(but with a wave of the magical Mudcat Wand, the place is sparkley clean and ready for party-goers). "I heard there was going to be chocolate, guacamole, margaritas, and daquiris arriving soon, so I thought I'd bring these cookies. Yes, they are, in fact, what they appear to be. I can't help it if the only cookie cutters I have are the "BIG DICK'S" cutters that my sister gave to me at my own bachelorette shin-dig. They aren't too obscene, because they also doubled as 'hatchets' for a Cub Scout meeting that I didn't know was going to be at my house. Here, as everywhere in life, it's all in the frosting." "That would qualify as something old, I guess. Something new? Well, what could be better than new love? Borrowed.....hmmm.....We'll just 'borrow' a couple of quarters from the till and punch up the jukebox. For starters: A-eleventyseven Stevie Wonder---For Once In My Life. Blue......jello in the pit, of course. And after the obligatory pint-n-yer-honor, I can kneel on the barstool and hiccup: If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange And be all to me? Shall I never miss Home-talk and blessing and the common kiss That comes to each in turn, nor count it strange, When I look up, to drop on a new range Of walls and floors, another home than this? Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is Filled by dead eyes too tender to know change? That's hardest. If to conquer love, has tried To conquer grief, tries more, as all things prove; For grief indeed is love and grief beside. Alas, I have grieved, so I am hard to love. Yet love me--wilt thou? Open thine heart wide, And fold within the wet wings of thy dove." (congrats Mortee and Allan!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: MMario Date: 27 Jun 03 - 02:38 PM carefully sorting the "hatchet" and "big dick" cookies out onto seperate platters - sorry - they were making me nervous mixed in together like thatCan anyone tell me what Morti's favorite colour is? Or Failing that, Allan's? or both? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Allan C. Date: 27 Jun 03 - 02:49 PM I do hope this isn't designed to be purely a bachelorette party because I really could use an opportunity to duck in out of the heat and to suck down a pint or two. Mario, thanks for sorting the cookies. I felt the same way. Unless I am mistaken, Morti's favorite color is purple (the color of chocolate undoubtedly being second) and my own is/are blue or varying shades of it but I also very much like wearing bright red. (I like chocolate too but rarely eat any other than semi-sweet.) We differ also in our metalic tastes in that she prefers things that are silver and I like gold - or more accurately, brass. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Jun 03 - 03:55 PM Yes, purple features pretty heavily... and I'm sure she'll LOVE the cookies - in fact, I want one of those cookie cutters please!!! (seriously!!) This could stand to be the longest running bachelor/hen night in history as they aren't actually doing the deed until next year, but my motto has always been 'never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because if you like it, you can do it again tomorrow!' I've got a nice easy drink of sloe gin here.... lots of ice, cut with a little soda to 'fluff' it up a little..... Now then, what about a song.... Maids when you're young? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Morticia Date: 27 Jun 03 - 04:09 PM Oh boy......do I get to stay drunk til the wedding? Yes, purple is my favourite colour.....that and electric blue....pass me one each of those cookies *EG*....if we have blue jello in the pit, does anyone have a suggestion as to what we should do with the 45 gallons of lime that just arrived in a tanker? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: MMario Date: 27 Jun 03 - 04:10 PM Stir in some Tequila and drink it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Micca Date: 27 Jun 03 - 04:37 PM MMario, bear in mind that Purple( as Morty means) is the colour of the foil on a wll-known brand of British Chocolate!!! Cadburys Dairy milk (ask her about her encounter with a 1lb bar of it ,in her pram when she was about a year old, (there are pictures) which led to her mother not speaking to me for a month) |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 03 - 04:48 PM Kin I have one of them chocolate guacamole margaritas Jenn mentioned?? |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Homeless Date: 27 Jun 03 - 04:55 PM well heck, if chocolate is her favorite color, these are the treats I'm supplying. |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Jun 03 - 07:15 PM Are there any ducks, cats, geckos, etc., at this shindig? |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 27 Jun 03 - 10:31 PM "It walks, it talks, it crawls on its belly like a reptile!! It was found three miles from sea, three miles from land, and they don't know whatizzit!! The professors dunno whatizzit, the gummint don't know whatizzit! No-one knows whatizzit! Step right up and figure it out folks, whatizzit? Take yer hands out of your pockets, son, don't fiddle with the unemployed..." Better hand around those hatchet cookies, MM -- the other ones just cause trouble!! :>) A |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: rangeroger Date: 27 Jun 03 - 10:57 PM Blue Jello? Far Out! I'm going for the bellyflop from the highdive again. Seems like years since I've done one. Here I go. AAAAAARRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SPLAT!! That one was for Angus. Can I have a pint of the Vile Black Stuuff and a shot of single malt? Now who the hell is getting married? rr |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: JenEllen Date: 28 Jun 03 - 10:37 AM Geez, maybe I should have said they were 'tommy-hawks' cookies? Sounds more butch? Hey, it worked for the CubScouts.... Liz, m'dear.....If you PM me your address, I'll send you the whole collection of them (serious, there are three or four different sizes) they should be put to good use! Chocolate guacamole margartias, Mike? Don't you mean a chocolate guacamole margarita flavoured daquiri? Noreen can make one of those, I'll bet. Spaw.....eeeeewwwwwww *bg* So what if it's a friggin' year early. It'll take that long to find somebody willing to crawl into the cake. After Joe's bachelor party, it's sure as hell not gonna be ME anymore! Who knew frosting burns could sting like that? SRS, maybe Sorcha will be along soon with the Glitter Go-Go Hamsters? |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 03 - 10:39 AM I second the motion, guys!! Toasts and songs to you both! If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Do not say I love her for her smile--her look--her way Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and certes brought A sense of ease on such a day-- For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought, May be unwrought so. Neither love me for Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheek dry,-- A creature might forget to weep, who bore Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby! But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Stilly River Sage Date: 28 Jun 03 - 11:45 AM I'm not in a rush to have wildlife inside the tavern--just wanted to know what to look out for as far as where to put food and set drinks, where to put ones self (sitting) and where to put ones feet if there's any dancing at this party! ("Ones" is already possessive--does it need an apostrophe?--"one's"). SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Allan C. Date: 28 Jun 03 - 12:02 PM Note to SRS: "Ones" is a plural as is used when speaking of counting by ones or by twos. Yes, an apostrophe is needed when using the possessive form. However, after a pint or three, who would care? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 03 - 12:15 PM After a few pints, one's ones become less distinct than one's twos, due to the clear hardness of the intiial consonant in the latter. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jun 03 - 12:35 PM Hardness in the latter? Back to the cookies are we? G' Afternoon, all. The kitties have finally agreed to come out from their hiding places to eat and use the litter boxes. Seamus is sunning himself out back and conversing with the neighbors' dogs, so I can take a Tavern Break. JD on the rocks with a twist and a male genital cookie if you please. Been practicing "Those wedding bells must not ring out" for days now. "A shriek of woe; a glittering blade; A lurch, a flash, a dart! And like the lightening stroke, the blade Had reached her trembling heart..." A real showstopper, that one. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Morticia Date: 28 Jun 03 - 02:22 PM erm......who's trembling heart exactly? Coulnd't we sing Roll Out the Barrel or something.....well, anything really, that doesn't involve me having to shriek,duck or fetch the police? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 03 - 02:42 PM Yeah -- this is not a show that needs stopping, IMHO! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jun 03 - 03:26 PM Oh all right. I will save it for the Getaway. I have an overwhelming craving for a medium rare charcoal broiled burger with cheese. Who is on grill duty today? I brought some cole slaw and chips to go with it. And if I can't sing, I will drink - another JD please. Pay no attention to the large yellow dog at my feet. Kendall took off for Old Songs and left Seamus in my care. He wouldn't mind a burger with cheese as well. Careful Morty, he's drooling on your train. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Morticia Date: 28 Jun 03 - 03:38 PM I'm kinda used to Seamus drool.....bless him.I tried to get the grill going but I'm not really very good at it and I have black fingerprints on the back of my frock now.....what will happen if I just chuck some lighter fuel on these darn coals??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: GUEST,amergin Date: 28 Jun 03 - 03:51 PM seamus kennedy drools? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Geoff the Duck Date: 28 Jun 03 - 09:44 PM Depends on whether the coals are hot or cold. Hot coals could do a Dog impression (Woof!) Jen - could I order a large glass (preferably Imperial Pint) of something flavoursome. Preferably malty with a hint of Fuggles hops and a chocolate afterbite. It will be nice to chill out with such god company. I brought the sack of courgettes, all ready washed for the "Best wedding cake decoration " competition. You just need to provide your own Bowie knives to do the carving. I'll just be passing time making Custard towers until the crowd arrives. When the beer is pulled could you send it around to my table? Just put it on my bill... Quack!! Gtd. |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Matt_R Date: 28 Jun 03 - 11:08 PM Should I bust out Dylan's "Wedding Song"? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: MAG Date: 29 Jun 03 - 02:11 AM Wow, you guys, congrats! I lived with visions for my company Instead of men and women, years ago, And found them gentle mates, nor thought to know A sweeter music than they played to me. But soon their trailing purple was not free Of this world's dust; their lutes did silent grow And I myself grew faint and blind below Their vanishing eyes. Then thou didst come, beloved, To be what they seemed. their songs, their splendors, shining fonts All met in thee and from out thee overcame my soul, with satisfaction of all wants Because God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame. don't check me on that; I'm pleasantly impressed with myself for remembering the lines. Did you guys meet through the 'Cat or did you already know each other in real life? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Allan C. Date: 29 Jun 03 - 07:28 AM Damn! Are you trying to tell me this isn't real life? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: MAG Date: 29 Jun 03 - 11:16 AM (BG) well, er, until you meet face to face, there is something missing; n'est ce pas? I wish I had someone to love me, Somene to call me his own; Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone. -- learned off a Sally Rogers tape. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Morticia Date: 29 Jun 03 - 11:20 AM we have met face to face and believe me, there is nothing missing....someone pass me a cookie *G* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Allan C. Date: 29 Jun 03 - 12:23 PM Hm-m-m. I was just remembering that "Sally Rogers" was the name of the character portrayed by Rose Marie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show"... Morty and I have had some of the most wonderful adventures together anyone could ever imagine. We are planning for our marriage to be the best adventure of all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: SINSULL Date: 29 Jun 03 - 01:20 PM What's a courgette? And what does it have to do with cake decorating? I believe Seamus Kennedy only drools when playing the banjo. Seamus the golden lab drools on cue. Terri will make such a lovely bride - dog drool on her train and charcoal on the back of her dress. How bought a glass of red wine for contrast, Morty? This is after all the virtual reality party. Something old - a few Mudcat curmudgeons Something new - Lily Ani Something borrowed - you still owe me .30 towards the tip at the diner Something blue - the sky on your wedding day. Another JD here. I am getting sloshed and misty. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Geoff the Duck Date: 29 Jun 03 - 02:00 PM A courgette is a baby vegetable marrow (also zucchini) used successfully in past lives for competition carving. The green of the uncarved skin contrasts nicely with the creamy flesh. A gentle curlicue here, a bold slash there.... Works of Art! Can I get mist now? Quack! GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 29 Jun 03 - 02:31 PM A single malt to inspire a double-union. Congratulations. Since I am now seeing double, congratulations to all four of you, or us, or whatever....and another single malt, make it a double. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Morticia Date: 29 Jun 03 - 03:01 PM You know, I have a feeling that if we have a courgette/zucchini carving competition, we aren't likely to end up with little brides and bridegrooms but something far earthier.....I also have a feeling that a lot of people here aren't actually allowed sharp objects. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 03 - 07:06 PM I offer you some of my favorite pomes. Here's the first one, which is sort of 'Catter: Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep And doesn't know where to find them. But they'll all, face-to-face, Meet in parallel space Preceeding their leaders behind them. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: SINSULL Date: 30 Jun 03 - 06:46 AM Early AM. Taking a break from the festivities to watch "Desk Set" and get misty over another perfect match - Tracy & Hepburn. Seems appropriate while we get ready for antoher week of partying. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jun 03 - 08:33 AM I'd like another one of those special drinks, please. They taste absolutely awful and keep me from getting too sentimental so that I can share anopeer shoem...sheer anosher pome. And they're really big and potent, too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: MMario Date: 30 Jun 03 - 08:42 AM Any of them Hostess And there's a tray of Framboise Mammalia in the fridge for anyone that wants some cold tasty desserty stuff. |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jun 03 - 05:20 PM Heresh anodder uf my faavoright pomes: There were two old maids of Birmingham And this is the story concerning 'em No, thash not appropiate fur a weddin. If you'll gimme another think, I'll drink of one that is. |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Jun 03 - 05:35 PM bugger appropriate - it's not as if we were all blushing virgins now.... is it? Pure as the driven slush mate, that's us! Oh AllanC - don't know if anyone has told you yet, but I'm your adoptive mother now.... I get to be the Mother of the Groom on my special badge. Just call me occasionally, you know? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Tinker Date: 30 Jun 03 - 11:24 PM Hmmmm..... I've been carving and balling a large watermelon. There is a large bowl chilling in Stoli in the refrigerator.... Last time I carved a melon it was to show some kids from Paris what a Jack-o-lantern was ( in July ) But I guess I'll just go with a basket of fruit flowers.... Mario, I'll take one of those Framboise... Oh and who has the chocolete molds to go with the cookie cutters???I'm thinking I'll hve to harass my sister-in-law and get some chocoletes put together... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: Amos Date: 01 Jul 03 - 07:37 PM Tinker....um...surely you can do better than a watermelon, no matter how large it looks? This might get out, you know... or is it that carving leaves you no spare time for social interactions? A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Goin2the Chapel TAVERN From: GUEST Date: 02 Jul 03 - 08:03 AM I was thinking the same thing, Amos; besides which, everyone knows a woman can't have a long term meaningful physical relationship with a fruit. don't hit me! OUCH!I think we may have plugged WAY to many things into the electric circuits though...I beleive we browned out half the East Coast! |
