10 Aug 99 - 09:03 AM (#103651) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Round 6 From: bbc Congratulations on a successful establishment, Lonesome! I think the Mudcat Tavern will have a special place in Mudcat lore. And it's a pleasure to be working with you! Thanks for the lift, alison. You know, boss, when I clicked my heels together, I think I got the last cockroach! Good riddance to that!!! Hey, Roger, good deal on the new truck! Should make you feel a little safer on the roads. And don't worry about those deep thoughts. As long as you keep up deliveries & I wipe the tables & bring drinks, we can let the other guys think & dream. There's a worthy place for us, too. Well, good morning! Roger was too modest to mention it, but he brought us a great new toy--a plexiglass coffee express machine. It grinds, mixes, & delivers your fresh-brew, expresso, cappacino, latte *AND* tells your fortune, to boot! Step right up & give 'er a try! Some of those fortunes get a little more interesting if you add a few words at the end. Catch my drift? No special pastries today, but I do have some of those frozen waffles in the back, if you're hungry. How can I help you? |

The Fair One there beat me to it, but I've been watching the "Tavern" here with hope in my heart and wishing for it's success...........and WHY you ask? Well it is a nice, fun, thread that's helped us get past a recent unpleasantness, but for me, it NOW officially goes even one better. Total postings have now surpassed those on the "Catspaw's About to Belly Up" threads!!! Now don't get me wrong here, no one could be more thankful for the overwhelming support, prayers, and outpouring of love that was shown to me, and indeed showed to most of us what this village and it's citizens can be and often is. A wonderful place.............. But do you have any idea what it's like to be the "subject" of such a......uh,I dunno.....an EVENT? It is a relief not to hold such a dubious record as "most postings on one subject." I will be eternally grateful and thankful to all of you, but bless you all for making the "Tavern" a "happening." Interesting that both threads started as a result of a crisis...........ah, hell, let the sociologists figure it out...... Set'em up for everyone who comes in today on me!!! I feel like a weight has been lifted.........Drink up friends......... Spaw |

I told you to keep quiet about the coffee machine, the boss doesn't know about it, I was moonlighting, it fell off the back of a white van, know what I mean? Love the scarf and earrings,Art, are you doing the fortune telling? BTW, "Jim", that was the chewing gum machine you were filling, the condom machine is over there, looks like you need a coffee, have a dash of Metaxas in it on me. When Llanfair gets here we'll try to get our tongues round Sospan Fach [ oh, Gawd, have I given Catspaw an opening there?]. Next time Mick lifts his head above the black stuff tell him there are some good socialist songs on the Liberator site, but then he probably knows them all. |

What exactly is latte, I don't think we have it here. Anybody singing yet? I've just been looking at the photos, what a good looking, jolly bunch of people I get to talk to these days. Is Max very young, or does he go to the gym a lot, with a plastic surgeon as a close personal friend?

I'm not sure about latte, but I think it's coffee & milk mixed together. Can someone field that question? Is catspaw hiding around here somewhere? You can come out, spaw. I couldn't stay mad at you. Let's just sit down at a corner table & have a comparative chat about parenting. I'm sure, after enough time, we can see eye-to-eye or at least glass to glass. Hey, folks, last call for me tonight! Anybody need anything? That new machine sure is fun! LEJ, I guess it helped to limit MM's caffeine intake, although that song was pretty fun! See y'all tomorrow! |

11 Aug 99 - 12:42 AM (#103882) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Round 6 From: Lonesome EJ OK, a latte is a shot of espresso mixed with steamed milk (no foam). A cappucino is a shot of espresso mixed with steamed milk about 1/3 to 1/2 foam. An Americano is 1 or 2 espresso shots on top of a cup of hot water. Flavorings (amaretto, vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut etc) are often added to caps and lattes. Yes it's true. I own the world's only combination Radioshack/Coffee bar. I'm not kidding, Catspaw. LEJ |

11 Aug 99 - 08:33 AM (#103928) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern - Round 6 From: Jeri BSeed, mocha is chocolate flavored coffee. You can dump some chocolate syrup into a cuppa, or use hot chocolate mix instead of creamer. I'm mildly addicted to iced mocha, with whipped cream on top. Catspaw, was that a threat? Should I tremble in fear? Should I bring my banjo to the Getaway for self-defense? I can't play it very well, which makes it even more dangerous. Maybe I'll just buy a bodhran - I hear there's no waiting period in NH. |

Harpgirl & moonchild got together & sent us a couple of cases of grade A Florida grapefruit. We can halve them or squeeze 'em for you! Guess you want yours juiced. Comin' right up! Then, you & I are going to sit down & hash out this mothering business. It's either a chat in the corner or a roll in Roger's amaretto latte (and that's an offer I don't make to just anyone!!!). Which'll it be? LEJ & Jeri, thanks for those detailed coffee definitions. LEJ, how does your Radio Shack coffee machine compare to our new one here? I'd be curious to drop by sometime. Yes, Roger, you got that order right. Our wrestlers' tastes are becoming rather refined around here. Yeah, I heard about that eclipse; you're ok! And, yes, believe it or not, the machine does Greek, Turkish--you name it! Truly incredible what technology will do for you these days! OH, MM, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you had a medical challenge! In future, we'll keep that caffeine coming. We want that 1/27th fully functional! Well, am I up-to-date? OK, who needs help? |

Bbc, you probably ought to take it easy on 'Spaw - I don't think he can take any more physical exertion, frail and dainty flower that he is. Even the coffee's beating him up now. Folks, I didn't mean to imply bodhrans were inherently evil. "Bodhrans don't kill sessions, people kill sessions." In the hands of the skilled, like our own Barry Finn, they are magnificent, and serve to keep the peace as well as - BAM - kick the music up a notch. In untrained and irresponsible hands such as mine, they are havok-wreaking implements of destruction. |

Whoever's doing the bar right now, I'll have some of that nice mead, cornish or moniac castle please; don't bother with the little glass, a pint one will do... Oh, and you can leave the bottle if you would! Gotta make the best of tonight,probably the last time I'll be around for a couple of weeks as I am off to Ireland tommorrow night, first to Boyle where I hope to go to some big cehli to commemorate the battle of the curlius 400 years ago, as well as the battle on the sunday, then it,s a holiday for a few days, that will be a novelty. Think I better have another drink, I am sore afraid that after tommorrow, people are going to start trying to force black liquid down my throat, never did like it! "Oh Danny boyyy! etc. etc. This second bottle seems to have relaxed me so, Boingggg! "Time for bed" said Zebedee. I'll be back at the tavern when I return, if its still open, meanwhile have a drink on me folks! Jon |

Well, have to get back and print out some work related stuff. Say, I'm doing a column on food and music for a newsletter here in Vermont. Anyone got any good food and music stories? Also, anyone mind if I use the Tavern as an exampe of the mixed obsessions with food/drink/music? (I guess I'd best not mention possum obsessions.) Well, off to the work side of the computer. Susan |

Oh, & about that 'possum, I guess he just needs a name & maybe an email address to join? What do you think? Boy, tough day! LEJ had me in the back room, going through inventory. It's a real hassle to keep track of stuff, when you keep as large a stock of food & drink as we do here! Yep, Mick, your second order of bibim bap is coming right out.

No more deliveries till Monday so I've brought a double load. Baps means rice eh? In parts of Wales and W.Midlands it means a round bread roll (like a hamburger bun in shape), otherwise called barm cakes in the North West (Coronation St country) and cobs in other parts of the Midlands ....[this thread is creeping in seriously silly directions, Roger, drink your coffee & get on with the deliveries] OK, I'll have a Greek frappe, sketo with a 3 star on the side. |

Do we have anyone able & willing to step into the kitchen & whip up a batch of scones or maybe some of those baps? Lower your voice when you talk about caffeine, Rog. Some of the folks are kind of sensitive on that subject. MM has *needs*, you know? Thanks for everything; we'll see you on Monday. OK, who needs something?
