The little man in the corner finishes his rendition of "Oh Holy Night" on the air bodhran and looks around. It appears that a lot has been going on while he has been concentrating. There aren't any more vile screeches coming out of the ladies can, so it looks like somebody finally got that noisy broad out...and who is that charming waif playing the fiddle?
He wanders over to the bar, wondering what happened to the topless barmaid that supposedly got hired, and asks for a can of Old Frothingslosh, the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom. The bartender says "I thought I'd heard of everything, but that's a new one on me." "How about a Mackesons, then?" he says. "Excellent choice," the bartender replies. "I can tell that you're not taken in by the ads for that nasty black crap from New Jersey, that claims to be from Ireland."
He takes his pint and goes to look at the tree. "Appears a little bare yet" he says, taking a bright yellow nose flute out of his Levis pocket and hanging it on a low branch. The contented little cat looks up from her peacock liver pate' and starts it swinging with a bat from one paw.
