Virtual brandy alexander whilst occupied in the kitchen. sounds lovely. I'll join you if i may

bacon is up   to $4 a pound, but since it's virtual, I'll make some
bacon basil and tomato salad -- you can have yours on this really good bread if you want.

Nothing like rounds for sweet and gentle.

"Oak and ash and thorn

All on a midsummer's morn ...."

She falls into a nearby couch, and hardly notices the cat which climbs up and starts licking her face...

That man in the dark mask and the cape has been awfully quiet. I thought he was going to sing a song--his speaking voice sounded like a nice baritone or perhaps a base. I bet he could sing a sea chanty or three with the folks headed this way.

Matt, I'm sorry about that. Remember last year when the velociraptors got in here (before they tragically became roadkill down the road a little way from the Mudcat Tavern)? They swished those claws and tails and gnashed a few chairs--I'm afraid yours might have been one of those. Rest assured we don't let velociraptors in any more, and there has been a strong movement to ban anything with a prehensile tail as well. Anyway. Find yourself a seat over on the lounge chairs near Jacqui and WYSIWYG (but maybe you want to go rinse your food off of the front of your shirt and pants first?). Whoa---wait--that crazy cat is back. She'll have you cleaned up in no time. . .

Nice day, good one to do a big roast and have a fine meal, don't you think? Want to try another of your famous aurochs, MMario? I thought the velociraptor was a bit too stringy, even after you marinated it. Any thoughts?

The tune has changed, it is now more up tempo, and somewhere in the background MMario can be heard singing, 'Goodness how delicious, eating Goober Peas'. Okay folks at the end of this, segue into 'When Johnny Comes marching Home' Nothing like a few marching songs to get your thirst up.
Don't put your drinks on the floor beside your chair, that cat's back again, and you know she likes drinking. Before you know it she'll be climbing the curtains.

The Dog slinks in, unsure of his new environment, following a scent that is getting old, but is still strong. He sits in the back and orders an ale while he considers the situation. Are the trad police here, or the PC police, or the hair trigger flame throwers? No? Does he dare reach into his sleeve for his instrument? Does it have too many holes, or too few octaves, or too true a scale? Would a few times thru Margaret's Waltz, or Juice of Barley, be received or rejected? What about the Braes of Mar, or maybe Big John? The ale arrives, and the mood improves. I try a few tunes, and the reception is mixed: Who are you, what are you, do you have consistent liberal opinions? Well, no. -- That will not do. -- My opinions do not need to be consistent to be valid. Another ale, another tune, may fix things up. I cannot tell where the scent leads from here-- I'll have to come back another time, its now time to go dancing. ( Dog slinks out )

Dozed off in the booth (NO! I do not snore!) and woke up in bed with a big yellow lab sound asleep on the floor. Wonder what he's been up to? At least he's back. I'd be in big trouble if I lost him. He has what appears to be a T-Rex thigh bone. Nasty thing. I'll toss it when his back is turned.

Someone frying bacon? It smells wonderful. I'll scramble some eggs - a dozen or two. Still some fresh tomatoes and basil on the bar. This will be nice.

I'm feeling relaxed and MUCH better now- I feel like a song- join me on the chorus to The Chocolate song

After having finally given Seamus the slip, by presenting him with a tantalizing bone, still covered in meat (so sorry, but another 'catter who seemed to be wearing some kind of mask-walked out of the tavern at an opportune time and Ellenpoly just yelled-"that varmint sings off key-SIC EM"), and then ducked back into the tavern.

Uh oh, there's jacqui mighty cross with the look of "jello pit for you, gal" in her eyes. Ellenpoly wipes the last vestages of melted butter and lobster claw from her chin, makes a dash for the bar, and orders a drink for everyone in the house.

How she'll pay for it, she doesn't know. Can she do a trade?
