A full loaf of White Sliced lies invitingly on the bar.

'There you go me Ducks, must be Christmas! Those luvly elves left all our favourite things after they'd fixed the bar up. Now, what do you want the bread for??????' enquired the Stray, wondering how she was going to get the bottle of Baileys open.......

Why would anybody want their bikini waxed?
Must be some surfers expression!
Ports. Right, we got Valley Prizo '79, (a good year) or we got that cheap Japanese stuff, Mirri Machi, 98. What's it to be?

Everyone is ralleying around trying to get the ol' placed sorted for the celebrations tomorrow night. The pontefract duck nibbles with his holey beak on the loaf of white sliced bread....and whistles 'best thing since.......sliced bread!!!!'

The bartender has ordered extra crates of the best Port availiable.....Morty, Liz,Micca and catsPHiddle do like their Port also the bottles of Moet to toast the new year at midnight are nicely chilling in the fridge.

It promises to be a great night!!!

Oh shit. I wake up only to find myself purified. Now that was some magic trick indeed. I look around the bar and the whole place has been purified. It shines so bright, I have to ask Ray Charles if I can borrow his shades.
Even my harmonicas were spit shined.I believe that elf spit has a little magic itself, because I put a harp to my lips and a strange little ditty flows from it.
I'm going to warm up to play 'Auld Lang Syne' when the timing is right, until then, I have to start all over with that good buzz I had going.

twenty four celebrations! yes! -

Or we could celebrate for EVERY degree, rather then the (average) 15 degrees per time zone? Anyone up for it? (that would be a celebration every (approx) 4 minutes

Hmmm. I have a cooler filled with my homemade smoked salmon out in the pickup. I'll bring it in for the celebration, and leave it on the bar. If you WANT to wait until your incremental time celebration to come help yourself, then you can see if any is left. It has been my experience that this stuff is inhaled pretty quickly, so the salmon celebration maybe oughtta happen around Greenwich time.

I am also planning to bring another favorite, sour cream mixed with dry Lipton's onion soup for a dip with Ruffles potato chips. And to offload a few leftovers, there might be a few spritz and krumkaka left over in a cookie tin from Christmas. The elves did such a marvelous job in mending the bar, it seems only suitable to fill it up with food. Here, kitty, let me open that bottle for you.

Barkeep, do you have any sparkling cider back there?

Oh-K, I'll contribute my smoked mackerel paté, fresh from the bread bin!
Just guard it from the Bailey's-sodden kittys for a while, at least, eh?
So, we'll celebrate every 4 mins for 24 hrs? Who's keeping score?

Noreen's just feeling a little croquettish.

Sage heads over to the coldest doorway in the establishment, pushes it open and plunges her hand into the snow piled up beside the stoop. "Ah! I knew some far-sighted Northwesterner left his cider on the porch to cool!" She carries this over to the bar, leaving the next obvious pun to someone else to drop on the room.

Moon opens the door, only to find the tavern quiet and empty, except for a slightly bedraggled cat with one eye open. She picks up the cat and a glass of cold cider and sits down by the fire, the cat purring loudly in her lap. "Where is everyone?" she wonders, and waits impatiently for someone to appear.

"Well that was a lovely nap in a cosy lap, Moonglow, sorry I didn't wake up earlier", purred the now perfectly groomed Stray Tabby. "See you here for some more fussing next Christmas...."
