Whao, just got in from a holiday weekend.

I highly recommend *Festival Express* if you haven't seen it.

It's only 3 a.m. my time, so I'll just curl up on this comfy couch here and nap until everyone else wakes up ...

having the visual flash of various cats cleaning Matt - well - he looks like he's enjoying it!

Not enough time to do up an aurochs roast - how about some aurochs fajitas? and I was thinking of doing up a trilobite chowder later today.

[Now we know what happenned during the various "great extinctions" - The sapecies populations were decimated in order to supply the Mudcat Tavern with bar food!!!!!]

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.

Methinks the man in the mask is Rupert of Hentzau, and he is waiting for Ronald Colman to arrive, they will then sing the Ruritanian national anthem in harmony. Wonder what key they will sing it in, must practice. Diddley diddley diddley

Woo hoo, this is the place I want! Hey, have you got some of those aurochs fajitas ready yet? I could eat a ..er.. an auroch - and maybe a little hair of the dog while you're at it bartender - just shtick it all on Bert's card ...ooh, I think I need to sit down.....

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.

Yes, it works great as a round. I learned it that way out of the Pink Round Book, as we refer to it here, with what I assume to be the original Bellamy tune.

My pink book I left at my UU church at the moment, having started a round group there.

well - the aurochs fajitas ARE done -

you have your choice of traditional guacamole or the asian gaucamole

(Asian Guacomole: misx together

1 tablespoon sesame seed
1 lg Firm-ripe avacado - skinned, seeded and mashed
1 tablespoon Shredded pickled ginger
3 tablespoon Cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp wasabi powder (or 3/4 tsp prepared wasabi paste)


or for those on low fat - I've got a "mock-a-mole' made with a fresh green pea puree


I used a bunch of those sun-ripe tomatoes to make a Pico de gallo as well.

Dig in!

Foolestroupe is seen sitting in a corner quietly humming what seems by the tune to be "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", but the words seem to sound more like

"Mmmm-mmm the Troll Script Robot!
Had a very nasty mouth!"

but I can't tell you anymore as this thread (now deleted without permission from the original poster) was deemed a personal attack, apparently not by Marty, but his friends who were not attacked themsleves in the thread, so now the words to the song are

SINGEN VERBOTEN!

although if attacked again, they have not been lost completely, so COULD be reposted, even if only by popular demand! Or you could write your own words, but you are not allowed to sing them!

My dad always said "Cook who boils potatos and peas in same pot very offensive cook." Much the same could be said of cook who does onions and leeks in same pot. As to shanties,

"Dead horse, dead horse, what brings you here,
Since you've been dead these twenty years,
The cook without a sign of grief,
Will boil you up and call yopu beef,
And we poor sailors standing here,
Must eat you though you taste so queer,
Though you've been dead these twenty years,
Dead horse, dead horse, what brings you here?"

Apart from what used to be served to sailors as a meat substitute,
Dead horse is what Australians call tomato sauce or Ketchup.
I propose to spread a spicy variety over the slap of pteranodon grilling on the forge. I will then pull the fifteen inch bowie knife out of the counter, slice up my slab with it and declare myself world dictator.

"I can hew boys, I can hack it out,
I can hew a steak without any doubt,
With this monster cleaver this lad's quite a star,
And he'll cut a dash at the Mudcat bar.

Well I like my whiskey,
And I like my beer,
I'll drink eighteen pints
And I'll not feel queer.
Actually I'm not,
Into alcohol,
I sing drinking songs,
But don't drink at 'ol"

Is that staek sizzling yet?

The outside roofed patio begins to fill up with really wet people who have made their way around through the garden gate that comes in from Florida. It's a warm and humid climate they've just left behind, so the dry cool air of the tavern will feel good. But someone had better run to closet, or through to the recovery ward, and get a few fluffy bathrobes. Ah, Nurse Ratched, I didn't have you in mind with that request. We want to make them feel welcome here, not further distress! You behave yourself if you're going to assist!
