Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MAG Date: 18 Jul 06 - 11:26 AM Does that mean you are up for a tramp through the woods, or a game of volleyball, after downing a few sausage? or maybe, a contra line? (for me, a snooze over here in this lovely hammock.) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Jul 06 - 11:30 AM LTS went for a tramp in the woods; but he got away! G |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 18 Jul 06 - 11:30 AM I don't do that kind of exertion under *any* circumstances! - well - a nice liesurely stroll through the woods maybe...after I have something to eat, and drink and a nap Did I ever mention Garfield was patterned after me? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 18 Jul 06 - 11:30 AM I wondered why that guy went streaking through here so quickly! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Jul 06 - 12:40 PM Garfield is patterned orange and white, last time I saw you Mario, you were missing the orange stripes! G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Jul 06 - 10:53 AM Maybe his doctor can tell you differently! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 19 Jul 06 - 10:55 AM no- garfield is actually a solid flesh colour - the striping is an optical illusion because of the way his hair grows. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Jul 06 - 03:12 PM OK, so I did go for a tramp in the woods... and yes, he got away, but I managed to get his stash of hooch... don't drink it too close to the fire there... LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 19 Jul 06 - 03:30 PM Is that a bottle of "Ol' Combustible" ? Or did someone just refill a fifth with some moonshine? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Jul 06 - 03:33 PM I think it's more "Ol' Unconsumable" but what the hell, it's not purple and there's nowt swimming in it! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 19 Jul 06 - 03:42 PM no, I think that's a newt swimming in it. Maybe an Axolotl; in fact, given the fluid it is swimming in, probably an Axolotl of the Alcohol Axolotl variety (Ambystoma Deleriumtremons) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Jul 06 - 04:17 PM You can't ask a lot of an axolotl. Unless he's tiny, which means he's my newt! G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Jul 06 - 04:58 PM As far as my drinking goes, no newts is good newts. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Jul 06 - 05:01 PM Why ARE they always pissed [allegedly]? G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: coldjam Date: 19 Jul 06 - 07:24 PM I am horribly late I know, but I just got back from baking (and by that I mean it in the global warming warning kind of way) at a 4 day (mostly) dulcimer festival, in which we tent camped, and I could really use copious quantities of anything iced & alcoholic (tiny umbrella optional). I stopped on my way and picked up some premium vanilla ice cream, hand-picked, homegrown strawberries and a crate of containers of whipped cream. What you do with the individual components is totally up to you... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Jul 06 - 04:01 AM Whooo hoo!! Squirty Cream!! Get your feet out of the jello pit, I'm coming in!!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Jul 06 - 05:21 PM So what can I do with 5 pots of apricot jam and a lettuce? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: coldjam Date: 20 Jul 06 - 07:28 PM My advice is to throw the jam on the ice cream and the lettuce to the squid. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jul 06 - 04:10 AM Do squid like lettuce or are you suggesting as a garnish? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 21 Jul 06 - 04:25 AM Cephalopods are not struck on lettuce cos it is like a kick in the tentacles to a carnivorous jet propelled beast. It makes them ill, and there's not a lot you can do on sick squid. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jul 06 - 04:29 AM Giok... out of the gene pool.... NOW!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 21 Jul 06 - 08:12 AM glaze the squid with the apricot jam and then wrap with the lettuce; serve chilled with a good white wine. (proper way to eat apricot glazed squid lettuce rolls is to toss the roll at someone and drink the wine. repeat.) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jul 06 - 12:12 PM Then why bother the squid to begin with? Just leave him in the aquarium and throw the lettuce and apricot goo at people and drink your wine. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jul 06 - 03:44 PM But we have to make the poor squid feel needed somehow... he hates being left out of things. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: gnu Date: 21 Jul 06 - 06:16 PM T'row da wee bugger inna punch! 'e'll feel needed and inebriated. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Jul 06 - 06:20 PM Please, NO!!! Have you any idea how much control over his tentsicles when he gets pissed? None? Exactly. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jul 06 - 07:19 PM His "tentsicles," Liz? Have you been drinking? Oh, okay. Nevermind. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Jul 06 - 03:52 AM Er... Jungian petticoat there I think.... I was as jober as a sudge. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 22 Jul 06 - 06:26 AM You could end up with 'A soul singing sadly soused squiffy squid' Who was unable to say 'The Leith police dismisseth us' Giok [Ten twisted tentacles tapping on the tank] |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Jul 06 - 06:22 PM Giok... what have I told you about the gene pool....!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: frogprince Date: 22 Jul 06 - 08:20 PM At least it finally cooled down enough to get out of the aquarium. Okay, now, where did somebody put my clothes? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 23 Jul 06 - 01:10 PM I think MMario stuffed them in the side of the barbecue grill to stop a draft. You'll have to make do with that skimpy towel. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Jul 06 - 01:17 PM Eeuuuuwww... that's the towel the squid was using! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Bunnahabhain Date: 23 Jul 06 - 06:10 PM What does an aquatic animal need a towel for? Especially THAT squid..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Jul 06 - 06:26 PM I told you he's a six quid and didn't feel towel. G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Jul 06 - 06:49 PM What else would he blow his nose on? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Jul 06 - 06:59 PM Or dry his tentacles. G |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Jul 06 - 05:55 PM He's a squid, an aquatic beastie.. why would it want to dry its tentiticles? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: coldjam Date: 24 Jul 06 - 07:00 PM I'm feeling a little squidish myself talking about cepholapods tentacles...as a matter of fact I am pretty sure that is an actual condition we played a benefit for last year...tragic really...little children- stricken with cepholapods tentacles... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Jul 06 - 03:56 AM Changing the subject completely.. it's not yet 9.00am and I'm watching 7 painted ladies sunning themselves in my garden. Better than any squid show. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Jul 06 - 04:17 AM Six swans a swimming? G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Jul 06 - 04:20 PM The final count was 9 Painted Lady butterflies.. they look like a sort of washed out Red Admiral but are a bit bigger. They migrate to the UK in summer and they were attracted to my white buddliea. It was a most enjoyable 30+ minutes I spent watching them... just what summer is all about. So hand over a Slushie and grease me up another pool boy. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 25 Jul 06 - 04:22 PM yikes! Isn't that your fourth pool boy today, Liz? (not that we're counting or anything...) Can someone mix me up a drink that will kill the taste of shambles-postings from my brain? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Jul 06 - 05:31 PM Anaesthetic is what you need for that MMario. G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Jul 06 - 01:14 PM Otherwise known as a bucket of margheurita!! That last pool boy was a bit small.. are we running low? LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 26 Jul 06 - 01:39 PM Sorry Liz, the ACLU threatened us with an injunction if we "continued to discriminate against applicants based on size" - I guess they believe size doesn't matter. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Jul 06 - 02:19 PM Your demand is outstripping their supply Liz. G |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: gnu Date: 26 Jul 06 - 02:44 PM Pool? You got a pool table? I've never played before. Can someone teach me? As long as it doesn't cost too much per game, eh? And what about darts? I have heard it is a lot of fun. Does it cost much per game? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Tavern & Barbeque Summer '06 From: MMario Date: 26 Jul 06 - 02:53 PM bert's credit card is still working, so d*mn the cost! |
