Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Jan 06 - 04:17 PM Dunno Mmario - can junkyard years make you smile for no reason so that people sitting opposite you wonder what you've been up to? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Jan 06 - 08:42 PM Scary stuff here. You couldn't start tampering with those old years, who knows what could happen! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 03 Jan 06 - 11:30 PM I've tried to block out the memory of Cold Duck, but I think that it was something like vin tres ordinaire and soda pop. It was NOT the German Kalte Ente, but a different concoction completely. As I said, I've tried very hard to blot out the memory of it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MMario Date: 04 Jan 06 - 08:53 AM Hey - if you're lucky enough to find a bit of an old year - you do *not* tamper with it. Theyy are very fragile and prone to breakage. Just a careful polishing and display in a nice location. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 04 Jan 06 - 09:14 AM They can also explode in your face if you don't handle them very carefully. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 04 Jan 06 - 01:12 PM Or if you are REALLY unlucky and try to tamper with them, you can just end up stuck in a time warp back to Tomorrow or a week next Thursday. As advised - look but do not touch.... Quack! GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MMario Date: 04 Jan 06 - 01:14 PM Geoff - are you talking about old years or Cold Ducks? I messed with a cold Duck once and I believe I did end up at next Thursday. with a headache. and a fowl taste in my mouth. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: GUEST,MAG Date: 05 Jan 06 - 12:33 AM Oh good, a tavern. Just what I need. Convivial spirits of all kinds. I've been tied up with personal shit for awhile ans popped in to see what's what. Looks like I have to go and reset my cookie. ONE things hasn't changed, unfortunately. (U know what.) the only thing I want from old years is my figure back and I know it isn't gonna happen. If I haul out my contra dance band book, is anybody game to jam on some jigs and reels? The rest of you are welcome to dance. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Jan 06 - 04:33 AM MAG - I know the feeling. I keep trying to lose weight, but it keeps finding me again. I have an hourglass figure - it's just that the sand has run down to the bottom..... Pull up a big comfy chair and join me in this bottle of rum... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 05 Jan 06 - 01:26 PM Bottle of rum Fruit of the bum... Nah. Doesn't work at all. Digusting, in fact. Stick with Paxton's original. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Jan 06 - 01:24 PM Sage walks in with a bag of Chinese fortune cookies and leaves a few for each person at their seat. The trick my kids taught me with these cookies is to read the prophecy out loud--then add the two words "in bed." Amazing how it changes the meaning of these things. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MAG Date: 06 Jan 06 - 10:13 PM I'll take you up on that bottle, Liz. Actually I suppose with this being a virtual tavern and all, I can invent some knees to get up and dance on. THAT will burn off the rum and the bum. It's a little early in the year for the bunny hop and I don't know the macarena. I can't dance and play a reel at the same time. Tomorrow night I am going to a potluck party and super jam. I can't wait. Take the wine or the ruby port?? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Amos Date: 07 Jan 06 - 10:34 AM I am going to nestle up by the fire with a cool mug of Guinness and strum chords on this here Dreadnought. It has been a ...shall we say 'interesting' year? May your next round around the sun be kinder and gentler and more successful for you than the last. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 06 - 11:19 AM How on earth can you strum chords on a hundred year old Battleship? But if you're going to strum something, make it Les Sullivan's song about Jutland. I had family members on all three of the ships he named in that song. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Amos Date: 07 Jan 06 - 01:12 PM Now Liz, this is a folk music forum, not a naval operations center!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: SINSULL Date: 07 Jan 06 - 01:54 PM HEY! Will someone hold the door open and help me with a few of these things? Thank goodness the Tavern is still open. Here is a robotic Santa that gongs, sings and runs around at will. And a blow up moose. And an annoying penguin that dances and raps. And here's 12 little bottles that look like champagne but are actually a lethal malt beverage, some of them raspberry flavored, guaranteed to provide a two day headache and violent projectile vomiting. I will be back with more...and DON'T LOCK THE DOOR! I give a party and erstwhile friends bring me crap like this...grumble grumble grumble |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 06 - 02:42 PM Methinks the *ehem* "lady" doth protest too much..... Remember, O Sister, What thou soweth, so shall ye reapeth..... Oh, will you ever reapeth...... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jan 06 - 05:58 PM Quick, pour that raspberry stuff out on the driveway. It can kill the grass in the cracks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 08 Jan 06 - 10:16 AM Sinsull, any time you're ready to bring more of that stuff we can pour it on the Tavern Compost Pile if we can't pour it in 'Catter's themselves. It'll produce a lot of biological activity (and we'll have tipsy bacteria). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 08 Jan 06 - 12:37 PM Sage tiptoes out the door, closing it softly behind her to avoid waking the 'Catters sprawled on all of the soft, comfy tavern furniture, gently sleeping off the odd array of booze that has passed their way this week. Nurse Ratched can be heard in the distance (through the closet door) clearing up in the Recovery Ward. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: GUEST,Mingulay at Sadies Date: 08 Jan 06 - 01:15 PM The sqirrel packs away his nuts for the rest of the winter, and prepares to tow the portable loos back ready for the camping season in somewhat warmer climes. Perhaps his fur will grow back again, if not, it's going to be cold until April. Maybe that raspberry stuff might help. Here goes nuthin'. Gurgleeeeeeeeeee ................ |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Jan 06 - 12:13 PM You can't close it down yet, I haven't had my hangover delivered yet!!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 09 Jan 06 - 10:04 PM Booze! More booze!!! Good God, what's man gotta do to get a drink around here? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MMario Date: 10 Jan 06 - 08:11 AM there's always self serve, y'know. Just remember to run a credit slip through on Bert's card - so we can keep the books straight. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 10 Jan 06 - 03:55 PM No floozy serving wench? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MMario Date: 10 Jan 06 - 04:29 PM every time I've asked on of the But if you want a floozy-fetched drink - feel free to try. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Jan 06 - 09:06 PM Why a floozy? Why not a wild red-eyed-alien Chippendale dancer serving drinks? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 11 Jan 06 - 06:05 AM He'd probably just roast his nuts on the fire like the squirrel did. (by the way - you DID say Chipmunk, didn't you?). Quack! GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jan 06 - 06:27 AM Hey, if I want service I'll get a priest! I'm quite happy here, laying under the tap.... just a little bit more duct tape and I shall be satisfied! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 11 Jan 06 - 07:09 AM Liz - I think you have got this Glue Sniffing thing a bit muddled. It isn't about how strong it sticks things, you know! Quack! GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 06 - 02:52 PM I tried sniffing glue once. Plugged up my sinuses so bad I had to go to the doctor, who explained the difference between sniffing the fumes and sniffing the glue. Fortunately, it wasn't epoxy or superglue I sniffed. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jan 06 - 04:53 PM You mean I'm supposed to sniff it, not drink it? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 06 - 05:42 PM I tried sniffing coke one time, too. The bubbles made me sneeze. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: SINSULL Date: 11 Jan 06 - 09:18 PM New Year's is over! All you people pick up your belongings and go home! There is serious business to be discussed on this forum and you're taking up band width. By the way, as was done last year, Martin Gibson is selling half price Christmas doodads outside the south door. Support the cause. Go out the north door. Liz, if you cannot detach yourself from that tap in a timely manner, take it with you. We'll expect a replacement next year. And for those of you who missed the announcement, I have several tiny champagne like bottles of sickenly sweet malt beverages (some raspberry flavored). Take them on your way out of they go into next year's JELL-O pit. Happy New Year, all!!!!! Now go away. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Jan 06 - 10:09 PM Sinsull, we used that raspberry stuff in the little bottles to kill the grass in the driveway cracks. I hope you don't mind, but the grounds outside the Tavern will look great next time we visit. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jan 06 - 09:08 AM Christmas isn't over until a) Candlemas (Feb 2nd), b) all the chocolates have been eaten (still got 4 bars and 3 half tins of various sorts left) and c) all the pine needles have been vacuumed up. As I'm still finding needles from a tree we had 3 years ago, it's always Christmas somewhere in my house!! You get your hands OFF THAT TAP Woman... you'll get yours, don't you worry... revenge is a dish best served pink. LTS And just why is MG selling his doodads?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jan 06 - 09:18 AM I don't know, Liz. He did it last year and now it's a tradition I guess. I still have pine needles from decades ago. And chocolate left over from New Year's. I also have about ten bottles of malt beverage left. So...party on!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jan 06 - 09:25 AM Besides, it will soon be Mardi Gras... but before that there's Martin Luther King's Birthday, Chinese New Year, Waitangi Day, Australia Day, Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day...... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat New Year Tavern '05-'06 From: MMario Date: 12 Jan 06 - 09:57 AM Don't Forget GroundHog Day! And then there is Feb 31st - which is Teddy Bear Day. |
