Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Jun 04 - 12:47 PM Peaceful, but I think we might get the giggles if someone doesn't watch out what she's doing in the muddy garden patch. . . |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Jun 04 - 02:27 PM Oh, I just love to feel it Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze between my toes..... and the mud is lovely too. Guess I've inherited my granfers love of piggies.... although I prefer mine sliced thickly and smoked over a hickory chip fire. Can I wash my toeses off in the hot tub please? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 26 Jun 04 - 12:42 PM Just remember Liz - "don't wash your trotters in the port wine tub when we've got some Watneys beer!" Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Jun 04 - 05:44 PM Nah, that just attracts flies. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 27 Jun 04 - 04:14 PM As in the classic lines - "Time flies like an arrow! Fruit flies like a banana!" Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: JennyO Date: 27 Jun 04 - 11:31 PM And as they also say: "Time flies. You cannot. They fly too fast." |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Jun 04 - 06:23 PM Nurse, the screens, they're ganging up on me!!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 29 Jun 04 - 05:02 AM Now then Liz - don't fly off the handle! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Tracey Dragonsfriend Date: 29 Jun 04 - 08:12 AM I have a big jug of orange juice, and a plate of home-made fudge (the yummy kind, made with condensed milk & butter - half vanilla, half chocolate) to share, if you don't mind a little pyrography woodsmoke? I'll find a nice bright sunny corner, near an open window to let the tiny curling wisps of smoke out, so they don't bother anyone while I burn dragons... My request is The Female Drummer, please : "They learned me to play upon the ra-ba-da-ba-dum... " Cheers Tracey Dragonsfriend Scorch's Pyrography |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 29 Jun 04 - 10:49 AM I have GOT to stopp falling asleep while time travelingGod'sTEETH! I fall alseep in the 'Battered Mug' or was it the 'Sturdy Lentil'? (one or the other) and wake up in the Mudcat Tavern! one pint, 2 pint, three pint, four - help me find the center door! Five pint, 6 pint seven pint more, help me off the floor! I don't want to drink alone, now; I don't want to ...drink alone |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 29 Jun 04 - 06:01 PM An old friend once told me "You are not drunk if you can lie on the floor without having to hold on!!!" QUack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 30 Jun 04 - 10:07 AM BTW - the above snatch of ditty is from a song written by a good friend and her musical group - the song is titled 'The Battered Mug' and is an earworm. I still have it running through my head after three days! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MAG at public lab Date: 30 Jun 04 - 10:33 PM Home cometh the hunter; from my professional conference in mouseville, FL -- I'll just sit in here until the jet lag wears off, thanks. I have let the ice cream monster out of the cage -- hard to get real food in that town. |

Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Jul 04 - 05:28 PM My brain hurts, can I lie down please? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 02 Jul 04 - 09:45 AM guys - I have to head out in a few minutes - I'm spending the weekend in 1585 - but I've left a haunch of Paralititan in the smoker (you remember - the converted sauna/steamroom?) It should be done about 10 pm on the 4rth - just in time for bar-b-que sandwiches after the fireworks. But go easy - I don't think it will serve more then 5 or 6 hundred(it's only a foreleg). No seconds until everyone has had some that wants!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 02 Jul 04 - 01:01 PM Have you tried roasted Parliamentarian? Very popular during the English Civil War I believe! - well at least in Royalist circles... Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 02 Jul 04 - 01:09 PM What does one serve with Roast parlimentarian? I would suspect whirled peas - or boiled until grey sprouts. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 04 Jul 04 - 05:11 PM When the king comes home in peas again? |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Leadfingers Date: 04 Jul 04 - 07:08 PM LOL Geoff |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Jul 04 - 06:47 PM Those fireworks must have knocked the Mudcat right off of Max's dining room table. Whew! I hope it was a good one (and that he didn't do this just so he could keep all of the roast Paralititan (thank god for cut and paste!) to himself and his clan. :) |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 06 Jul 04 - 05:18 AM Got any cranberry sauce or did I get the wrong holiday? Who cares, I like the stuff at any time, just not on turkey! Pass another cool beer over and prop me up in the corner when I start to sway. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: SINSULL Date: 06 Jul 04 - 07:37 AM That reminds me. I still have a jar of frozen giblet gravy from that infamous turkey dinner last Thanksgiving. We can strain the lumps and skim the grease. It will be fine. If I rummage around I may find some candied sweets as well. Be right back. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST Date: 06 Jul 04 - 08:15 AM Come my friends who would be flatter Life consists of getting fatter So Raise your forks and pass the platter while we are together! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 06 Jul 04 - 08:44 AM I'm exhausted! a caffiene IV please and a nice soft pillow... |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jul 04 - 01:21 PM Head's Up! and dump the Dino! The Copper River salmon are in! Yeah! I grilled a nice slab last night (would you believe under $6 a pound for it?). Marvelous!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST Date: 07 Jul 04 - 01:27 PM Did someone say Salmon? (which if you will note has the same number of letters as lobster. I believe there is deep significance in this. likewise oysters (because a singular oyster is just ridiculous)) |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jul 04 - 03:18 PM A single oyster is what most people ever try. Got any trout? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: MAG Date: 07 Jul 04 - 06:04 PM Ah yes; midsummer is with us; the heat has come and the garden is getting weedier and weedier. Suddenly I have a ton of stuff to do inside (true). I spent the Fourth (of July) seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 and reading a good book or three.The callouses are peeling because I haven't had the guitar out of the case since the last dance. At least it's air-conditioned in here ... |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Leadfingers Date: 07 Jul 04 - 06:27 PM Oysters ?? Vastly over rated ! I was on a really hot date once and I had a dozen oysters amd only eight of them worked !! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: MAG Date: 07 Jul 04 - 06:30 PM and your phone number is ... |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jul 04 - 06:49 PM Call the morgue--he probably killed himself trying to use them all. . . Oyster-guest--I don't eat oysters. I made the mistake of looking at one once, and that was all it took. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 08 Jul 04 - 12:55 PM Oysters aren't as bad as the deepwater quahogs - now THEY look really gross! (even steamed!) Then there are the scallops with all those little blue eyes looking up at you. Is there room on the mantel for me to put a couple of B.L.O.B.'s? I've run out of room at home (he said modestly) until I get a chance to clean off a bookshelf. and what with having to catch the friday TARDIS I probably won't have time for awhile. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 09 Jul 04 - 03:38 AM I'm sure we can find room for a few more decorations or food items. I reckon there should be space for a hyperspace-annexe through that full length mirror next to the "Ladies". Just do us a drawing with the dimensions (and how many dimensions you want it to exist in) and I'll make a start on the construction just as soon as I've finished laying my new kitchen floor tiles. In the meantime, I'll have a pint of sloe gin to celebrate my birthday. Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Jul 04 - 08:12 AM Through the looking glass? what a novel concept - or concept for a novel - I'm not sure which! Happy birthday! Long may your Custard juggle! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 09 Jul 04 - 11:02 AM Let's face it - N-Dimensional Geometry has come on a long way since the days you could only get into hyperspace by going down a (black) hole - they were always full of white rabbits anyway! I may set-up for a Tea Party later this evening if I can persuade a hairy nosed wombat to attend! Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Jul 04 - 11:22 AM a Tea Party would be loverly! I always like having more before I have had any - The time distortion effects can get confusing though - yes - recent advances in N-dimensional geometry is why every door and window of the Tavern opens onto a different location - and sometimes multiple locations! It also explains why I can store so much food in the countertop bar 'fridge that is only 18 inches cubed in external dimension. (hell fitting a moa drumstick through the door though) there's a estivating dormouse behind the counter - will that do instead of a hairy nosed wombat? |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Jul 04 - 12:28 PM Someone give me a hand with this banner |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Jul 04 - 01:19 PM That's so sweet! And look--he has a nice birthday cake hidden behind the bar. Mario!! Be careful about commingling their candles--you don't want to burn the place down! ;-D |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: Geoff the Duck Date: 09 Jul 04 - 01:51 PM I like the banner MM I will also wish Art and Mary a Good and Happy Birthday. Here's a Health unto the Company! I'll grab the other end and pull! What's that in small print down in the bottom corner? Printed by J.Smith and sons. Hidden Messages for picky people Ltd. Part of the "Presents for Pedants" Group of Companies Oh Yes! I should have known! Here! Can anybody persuade that Stegosaurus to stand under that beam over there? I could climb up its tail and back to reach a good fastening point! Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 09 Jul 04 - 01:58 PM it could have been worse Geoff - Hairy Foxx tried to claim copyright on the words "Happy" and "Returns" - but the Internal Revenue Service threatened to sue them if they collected a license fee! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: MAG Date: 09 Jul 04 - 10:09 PM I'll join ya to hoist a virtual one, guys, on this balmy Friday eve. (It puts off weeding ...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 12 Jul 04 - 11:48 AM Will a full pipe of gin do, Liz, or shall I go out back and get the tun? (do you know how hard it was to find a supplier who would sell us gin by the pipe and tun? Bert's credit card was nearly smoking by the time we finished paying for it) BTW - [AND THIS MEANS EVERYONE!!!] The extremely comfortable chair over there is reserved for Shula. No possum droppings, jello, flying custard clots etc allowed anywhere near it! And if she comes in -- BEHAVE! |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: JudeL Date: 12 Jul 04 - 01:34 PM Sorry I don't have any gin left Liz. Will some spiced rum do? |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: MAG Date: 13 Jul 04 - 02:17 AM Back from one of the most hectic weekends in (my) history. I'm parking here, under the ceiling fan, w/ a VERY large g&t. Lap available, kitty cats. |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: GUEST,MMario Date: 13 Jul 04 - 08:04 AM if I purr can I climb in your lap? |
Subject: RE: BS: Respite Tavern - Revisited From: MAG Date: 13 Jul 04 - 11:15 AM sure, MM -- we'll see if the chair holds both our weights. |
