Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Oct 06 - 09:20 AM Wow.... I got 100 and I didn't even notice!! Shows my mind was busy elsewhere..... LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 07 Oct 06 - 09:53 AM Pooh, Squiddy. Take a tip from the whales: flip the boats over! But do watch out for the marine biologists, as they are simply odd and absent-minded sorts. Me, I'm going to go home today and have some Redbreast ("The Priest's Whisky") or, perhaps, some Moose Drool. Or both. I call it "A Drooling Priest" or maybe "A Holy Moose." ("Holy Moose, Batman! Did you see what the Pope is wearing instead of his usual hat?") My work here in SLC is done for the moment. So I will bid Auf Wiedersein to the city by the lake and head North to Idaho. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Oct 06 - 11:35 AM Why Eydahoo? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: artbrooks Date: 08 Oct 06 - 03:31 PM 'Cause he lives there? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: lady penelope Date: 08 Oct 06 - 04:45 PM Would that be a 'secret Idaho'? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 08 Oct 06 - 05:04 PM Well, I learned to call the folks who live here neither "Spud Duds" nor "Idahoers." And this place is not really secret: it's between Utah and Alberta and Wyoming and Montana and Oregon and Washington, with a tad of Nevada peeking in from the South. Actually, if you head straight West from Butte, Montana you can't miss it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Oct 06 - 06:03 PM Wanna bet? I have the directional talents of a stunned weasel... besides, I'm sitting here in the chair with a long glass of water.... Not iced water, seems the radiator didn't like being flushed. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: artbrooks Date: 08 Oct 06 - 06:21 PM A glass of water, Liz? You sick? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Oct 06 - 06:25 PM No.. but I've had rather a lot of red wine and I have to work tomorrow!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 08 Oct 06 - 07:22 PM When are we going to open the presents and decorate the tree and stuff? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: artbrooks Date: 08 Oct 06 - 07:30 PM I thought we were going to spray the squid with green paint and pinesol? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 08 Oct 06 - 11:31 PM O Architeuthis, O Architeuthis, wie grün sind dei-ne Blätter. O Architeuthis, O Architeuthis, wie grün sind dei-ne Blätter.... I dunno.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Oct 06 - 04:28 AM No Christmas stuff until after Samhain.... this is an Equinoctal tavern, not a Solstice one.... Besides, there's Hunters Moon (the next full moon), Hallowe'en and the Battle of Hastings to go yet! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Sick Squid Date: 09 Oct 06 - 06:05 AM Not forgetting Trafalgar Day of course. My Spanish cousin El Squiddo still speaks of it in hushed tones, but then he does have laryngitis. No need for the green paint art, I have my own, but I prefer lemon to pine in the disinfectant stakes. Now, there's a man's drink - Pusser's Rum with a dash of Dettol!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Oct 06 - 03:11 PM Happy St Basil's day! Or was that Dennis? Ah what the hell.... Happy Gioks' Birthday! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 09 Oct 06 - 03:46 PM Fill another flagon! And give ten to that guy over in the corner! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: lady penelope Date: 09 Oct 06 - 03:48 PM Baaasiiiil!......... And when can we expect the herds of wildebeasts sweeping majestically across the plain? Speaking of wildebeasts, having watched "The Wild" yesterday, I'll never look at William Schatner the same way again....... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 09 Oct 06 - 04:01 PM I've got Wildebeest down for 10.45 on my programme, that is, if the puffins have finished their "Puffin Pyramid" routine on time. By the way, it might be a good idea to get the bunting inside before they sweep them down. Oh, and put a pint in the pump for Giok. Quack! GtD. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 10 Oct 06 - 01:32 PM Wildebeest? We're having swarms of wildebeest? That's gnus to me! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Oct 06 - 07:12 AM I don't care.. I'm just sitting here chuggling to myself (that's sort of a giggly chuckle or a chuckly snigger....) because I know who's got which Santa... hee hee hur hur!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 11 Oct 06 - 07:20 AM They are doing a special sweep, bedecked with flowers... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .... .... .... .... .... GNUs and ROSES Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Oct 06 - 07:21 AM They've gone now.... No gnus is good news. I'll get me coat. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Sick Squid Date: 11 Oct 06 - 08:23 AM WILDEBEEST!!!!!!! GNUS!!!!!!!! The Tavern's noisy enough as it is what with ducks and elephants, let alone great herds of cloven hoofed beasties gallumphing about the place. At least we squids slither about quietly. Apart from the rutting season, of course. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 11 Oct 06 - 08:44 AM I think I've been in a rut for some time.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 11 Oct 06 - 12:12 PM Noisy? I'm pretty near silent! Well - as long as you inore the bells the banjo and the bombarde... Quack! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 12 Oct 06 - 06:56 PM |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 12 Oct 06 - 06:57 PM Quiet enough for you? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Oct 06 - 07:27 PM I was so quiet my post didn't even register!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 12 Oct 06 - 09:57 PM You know, Shane never comes here. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Oct 06 - 05:49 AM NO, he doesn't... and I should damn well think not after what he did to the barmaid last time. I was appalled, disgusted and a teensy bit jealous..... but she'll never be the same again. We've had to start calling her Stephen. So... all you friggatriskadeckophobes - come on in, find a corner and hide in here for the day. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Frisky Below Deck Hand Date: 13 Oct 06 - 08:33 AM Ooh Shiver Me Timbers Matey! You'd be a frisky deck 'o phobe if you had ever seen what them giant squids do when they get their testicles wrapped around the main mast... I 'aint been above deck since at sea. It gives me nightmares, it do! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Freaking Tricky Deskophobe Date: 13 Oct 06 - 09:19 AM Can anybody here give me a hand. I've had this flat pack computer table out for days and I can't get it put together. Anybody know why there's three screws left over every time I think I've got it done? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 13 Oct 06 - 09:21 AM Obviously you need three screws. See Stephen. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Freaking Tricky Deskophobe Date: 13 Oct 06 - 09:25 AM You may find it oblivious, but it's screwing me up! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Sick Squid Date: 13 Oct 06 - 11:55 AM The good thing about being a squid is you can hold all the parts of a flat pack together and put the screws in at the same time. Took me no time at all to do my kitchen!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Oct 06 - 04:29 PM Can't be that sick then, can you... I hope you aren't claiming sickpay or benefits..... they'll do you for that you know... LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 14 Oct 06 - 10:10 AM What is needed here is something old-fashioned. I suggest a human sacrifice to appease the Harvest Gods 'n' Goddesses. Does anyone here happen to know a human being? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 14 Oct 06 - 11:19 AM QUACK??? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Geoff the Duck Date: 14 Oct 06 - 01:25 PM Now here, Rap, is something Traditional and worth celebrating. Max and Emily Barkeep! Lay out as many glasses as you can find. We've got a CELEBRATION on our hands!!! MMario! Get a couple of extinct beasts roasting, quick! Quack! Geoff. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 14 Oct 06 - 02:47 PM Dang. Gotta have a human being for a human sacrifice. Guess them Gods 'n' Goddesses will have to make do with used beer. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Oct 06 - 05:47 PM You could use Shambles.. he's nearly human.... LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 14 Oct 06 - 08:10 PM Okay. I'll have to check with the G 'n' G's though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,ZEUSS Date: 15 Oct 06 - 04:38 PM Actually, Mortal, I'm quite partial to cake. Goes nicely with a bowl of Ambrosia. Just because the atmosphete on Olympus is quite rarified doesn't mean we are out of touch with you ephemerals. You must be finding your 19th Century quite interesting! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Oct 06 - 04:44 PM Eyoop, Ole Zeus has woken up.... who prodded him then? Before you know it, we'll have magical bullsh!t all over the place... All very well for the deities, but it really buggers up the roses. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 15 Oct 06 - 04:48 PM 's okay, I think he's drunk again. Can't spell either "Zeus" or "atmosphere" correctly. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: GUEST,Sick Squid Date: 16 Oct 06 - 09:00 AM Cake and ambrosia eh? Didn't know that deities ate custard!!!!! My mate Neptune only drinks beer. Damn you for spotting my mistake LtS. I suppose you'll now be reporting me to the Department of Stealth and Total Obscurity. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: MMario Date: 16 Oct 06 - 09:16 AM whoa - didn't have time to do up a really good extinct beast roast - so threw a couple of mododaukions* into the oven. *mododaukions - a boneless giant moa, stuffed with a deboned dodo, stuffed with a boned great auk, stuffed with boneless breast of passenger pigeon, stuffed with a pate of hummingbird and lark's tongues. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: MMario Date: 16 Oct 06 - 09:27 AM BTW - only the tongues of the Turquoise-throated Puffleg were used for the hummingbird portion of the pate. Only the best for Max and Emily! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern Equinoctal Festival From: Rapparee Date: 16 Oct 06 - 09:29 AM Please sir, may I have some ore? |
