It usually falls to me to call for and set up the recliners for those who like a good long sit in the Tavern, and I'm too busy this year for recliners myself... but here they are for those who want them:

Better not set 'em too close-- they're breeder stock.

Somebuddy with time for HTML pretties might want to paint them in color; I was thinking of our dear Alison whose name Sir Mick the Big always paints in multicolor. AKA particolor... so for party-colors..... you get the picture. A nod to her in her troubles.

As for me, Liz, just a quick, strong cuppa to take on my scooter (I call her Sugar Dog)... and if the Jello Pit becomes ADA compliant I'll be back when I can. :~)

OK, there is and there isn't. It's not worth the search. However there is a place called Orris that really is and isn't. You'll find it on most maps of California but that's the only place you'll find it. Why do I bring that up here? Do you know how hard it was to find THIS PLACE? Well, it's not like "Nowhere" Arizona on the stretch between Kingman and Phoenix.

Therefore, and in conclusion, I've been to Nowhere but not Starfleet. I've been to Orris but it was NOWHERE. I'm here now as in "Be Here NOW" (wasn't that by Baba Rham Das?) with my double double double, reading my copy of Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes. Night All

You can double my last double double, if it's not toil or trouble. Too bad that you sanded half the flavoring off the grill but it should come back in a week or two.

Just learned that there is a place (a town?) in California named "Starfleet". I gotta go check it out but if there is such a town, it WOULD be in California.

Just back from the Getaway and not sure if I belong here or in the Recovery Ward.
Here I can share that due to a luggage snafu of my own creating, I arrived without luggage and survived on borrowed undies.
If I win the lottery I promise you will have your chance Miss Lizzie. Though I am not sure that THEgsgw IS UP TO THE CHALLENG, dAMN cAPSLOCK.aLICE IS STRUTTING ON THE KEYBOARD.

Hi! I'm just back from Getaway and I want to start the 12 Step Program.

Poteen, for the first step. And I'll squeeze from Sterno for the second.

Thanks.

Just keep an eye out to your left Richard, the squid pit is still a bit tacky....







Well what else would you call pink plastic flamingoes on an orange artificial lawn? Has Sins been decluttering her garage again?

I wish I had a picture the shirt i made for a fire victims' benefit 2 years ago it said "How to get from bewilder to re-builder"   I am still trying to figure out how.....so if this place is for the bewildered, i represent that!!

meanwhile, as i posted recently on my facebook page,
when life gives you lemons, insist on salt and tequila!

Beer and clear lemonade 50/50 Ebbie.

Also very nice to use ginger beer instead of lemonade.

I'm just back from my "local" - where I've consumed a pint of bitter (Fuller's 'London Pride') and several shots of Mount Gay Rum in the 'Old Gits' Corner. So, I'm in a mellow mood and happy to join the company here. I bring with me a bottle of Alnwick Rum - blended in the ancient Northumbrian market town of Alnwick - and I commend it to you all. It warms, it pleases, it makes one happily and gently feathered.

Cheers, dear hearts!

Sounds good, John Mac, but what comprises a 'beer shandy'? I've heard it many times but I still don't know.

I got up at 5:30 AM, to catch a flight home, and now I am home,and it's about 5 PM, it doesn't feel like it's the same day.
Going to see Andy Irvine tonight, so just a beer shandy for the moment.
Thanks Bert!

No, I think we're all Getaway Absentees in here. It's too early in the morning for me to think about alcohol, so make mine a big cup of Wicked Joe's Wicked Chocolate coffee, lots of cream and a little sugar.

Well, what a find. Go out walking and who knows what one comes upon.

I'll have something a bit stronger. I would like to say that I'll take a stinger- light on the creme de mint - but I discovered after a long absence that a stinger is a serious drinker's drink so I'll have just a nice glass of cabernet instead.

(Settles into a deep, cushiony chair, satisfied)

So how is everyone? Anybody here who went to the Getaway?

It's that time of year again...

Many of us are left in total bewilderment regarding certain happenings across the pond (from my side) or across state lines (from the other side) or across the universe (from Chongo's side), so here's a place to chill, hang, and other things ending with out, all on Bert's card.

The place has been de-loused, de-furred, de-scaled and de-corated, the sign saying 'wet paint' is an observation and a warning, not an instruction. The decks have been swabbed (cultures are being examined in the lab as I type), the bar polished, the barbeque scoured, the chairs reupholstered (I went for wipe clean leather) and the beams dusted (for prints if nothing else). Even the squid was put through the car wash.

So come on in, pull up a chair, pour a drink and make mine a large one please, the anti-biotics have finished and I still feel like crud!
