Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 15 Aug 08 - 07:07 PM Good to know! There were rumors flying about that you were irresponsible...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Aug 08 - 06:24 PM You are MORE than partly responsible!!! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: lady penelope Date: 15 Aug 08 - 05:10 PM You evil, evil woman Liz. I feel partly responsible.... *G* |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 15 Aug 08 - 09:50 AM I'd assume the squid is looking for runciples, whatever the hell they are. I never knew. If the owl and the pussycat are swimming, that means the pea green lifeboat is not an option if the water rises higher, but the more additional animals we get, the closer we are to qualifying for that ark. So start filling out the forms and a check for one Mr. Harold Angel, the fellow who rents the things, just in case.... If not it'll be like Florida, where they hold Hurricane parties amidst the blast every year. Look! The Alligator swam back in through the alley gate maybe he WILL order a drink. The bets are back on, boys! But he looks like he's half crocked already, so maybe he does have some of that in his blood, or at least his bloodstream. And he had a hat on that says Gator-Aid. Is he here to save us or merely to make further alligations, like a lawsuit or something? The pig is going whole-hog and full-boar jamming with the house band and he's quite good actually, ready for the Pig Time. I'm a hog for you baby, Can't get enough of your love.... I always liked that one I've heard him play at the Place Pig Alley over in France. I hope he spares us his stretching out for 10 minutes on "MacArthur Pork" or something (I DID just see a cake float by), and if he starts in on "Auld Lang Swine, I'm hopping on anything that floats, even if it's one of SINSULL's inflatable flamingos, because I'll know the flood's reached THAT stage, not to mention the band's riser stage! Do you mean do I know said hatted man or what the prize is in the Gin Crummy Tournament? Or did you make the stuff in your own bathtub. How high IS the water, mama?....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Aug 08 - 08:17 AM Guuuhuhuhuhuhuhhhh.... what a mind image for the day..... Don't let the squid help you get them out.... although that may be what the spoon is for... I'm busy selecting my alcohol for Towersey festival now... I'm on a bet with a certain Hatted gentleman that I can find the 'almost' in 'almost any gin is good'. You know the one I mean.... Ain't I a stinker?! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Aug 08 - 05:32 AM So if the squid, the owl and the pussycat are doing the swimming, is the pig with the ring in the end of nose accompanying them on a small guitar? And what is the squid doing with that runcible spoon? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Aug 08 - 11:08 PM Oh Look! The squid, an owl and the pussycat have started synchronized swimming in the flood. Very nice! I give it a 10. Ohhh, I have been away for a while. A flood? I'll get back to you after I've read some more of the thread. Barkeep, a glass of white zinfandel, please. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Aug 08 - 05:49 PM Why is the rum always gone? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Susan A-R Date: 14 Aug 08 - 02:40 PM Of course, if it's Johnny, I'll need something ELSE with rum in it too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Susan A-R Date: 14 Aug 08 - 02:39 PM Hmmm, Johnny will do nicely. Yes Tinker, It's official (or it was) Now I guess i look a day over 50. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: lady penelope Date: 14 Aug 08 - 09:17 AM How about Johnny Depp? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Susan A-R Date: 13 Aug 08 - 03:44 PM Thought I'd brush off the mold and row over for a drink (well it ain't my first.) How the heck did I get to be *$@%% 50???? Oh well, Something with rum in it will do nicely. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 12 Aug 08 - 10:18 AM An Ark Of Triumph like Noah and his wife Joan sailed to glory in? It may not be needed yet, but then on the other hand, both BeheMoth and RavenKitty are now sitting in the rafters, though the Squid's not complaining. Not a good omen, though. When the house band up on the riser stage strikes up "Nearer My God To Thee" or even "Five Feet High and A-Risin" ", I'm bailing out. Still, Singapore Slings and Eros, even if costing an outrageous fortune, sound like a solution. Has this place ever flooded before? If we open all the doors, will more dampness come in, or will the existing stuff flow out, say, down to the beach and out to the sea? There may be Monseen and Typheen coming from those directions, as well. If we do let some water flow through here, it could flush out the Jello Pit and the rest of the mess on the floor while we stand on the tables and watch. But how long will the weather last? Is this Class Percipitation Time, Kiddies? Here we come, weather or not! I can handle anything the Tropics throw at me, though. I'm a Capricorn and am a Cancer Survivor, as well. And I know a few vulgar boatmen's songs and shanties if we have to take the next thing floating out of here. Our chef Mmario could cook up some of Noah's Auroch to eat on the boat. I don't think we need this to turn into a Gilligan situation, but reserve me two seats on the isle, just in case. It could very well end very soon, and a rainbow is actually the best arc to send for or grow, as long as you don't take it as a sign from God an' start worryin' 'bout de fire nex' time....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Aug 08 - 04:31 AM It was a little damp.... still, tropical monsoons call for tropical monsoon drinks - bring on the Singapore Slings and get me a canoe! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: lady penelope Date: 12 Aug 08 - 02:38 AM Could someone grow an ark while they're there? Tad wet this morning... |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: lady penelope Date: 11 Aug 08 - 05:04 PM You grow sandwiches???!?! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: MAG Date: 11 Aug 08 - 01:55 PM Yep, all in the same glass, or blended. Creme de cacao in place of the mint is good, too. Sugar, alcohol, and caffiene. Sinth I'm also diabetic, I can only enjoy it virtually. Two weeks vacation coming up starting Saturday, and I can hardly wait. It will be a staycation; catching up on yardwork in the very hottest part of the year. But I had a bumper crop of blueberries this year (3 bushes), and the bacon, basil and tomato sandwiches are just starting. I love this part of summer. Except for the water bills. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Aug 08 - 12:04 PM Well of course I will tell her hello Sev... absinthe makes the heart grow fonder after all! A point to me I believe? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 11 Aug 08 - 09:20 AM What, Liz, you thought when she said she was "experimenting with the 'sinthe" that she was playing electronic keyboards or something? I hope there haven't been any unexplained absinthes from school or anything!.... .....Seriously, she's a great kid whom I thoroughly enjoyed meeting, and tell her "hello" for me and I don't REALLY think she's developed a taste QUITE yet..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Aug 08 - 03:26 AM In the same glass? Actually, I'm somewhat disturbed that Limpit knows the main flavouring in Absinthe... not even I knew that at 12 years old. She's turning out to be a right chip off the old blocks. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: MAG Date: 11 Aug 08 - 02:41 AM And the usual latecomer straggles in, limp from Summer Reading Program and the usual job hassles. What I need is some good company ... Severn, I figured out a lng time ago that the best thing about a virtual tevern is that you can have anything, an on-line drink not being the same as on-tap ... hmmm, I can bring blackberries; want'em soaked in anything? Ro ho, the foamin' bock, the bock down in the tavern o; ro ho the foamin'bock, The bock down in the tavern o hmmm, out through this window here is one of our lovely eastern WA after-sundown breezes; the nicest thing about a desert is the way it cools off after sunset -- pours in like sweet nectar, revivifying relaxing. oh, and some thick hot pea soup for the southern hemisphere folks. My usual virtual coffee ice cream, creme de monthe, and Tia Maria please. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: frogprince Date: 10 Aug 08 - 09:57 PM Actually I guess the mention of iced coffee was over at Jerry Rasmussens kitchen, but the offer still holds. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: frogprince Date: 10 Aug 08 - 09:46 PM Speaking of iced coffee; I'm gonna mix me up something that I haven't for awhile. I found some butter pecan ice cream in the freezer, and I'm gonna moosh it up in a big glass of cold coffee. Anyone else want to try some? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 10 Aug 08 - 08:17 PM Into anyone else's misery in particular? Right now, you're dropping the best straight lines out there, but we thankfully won't ask you to walk one. If you're running out of sloshed puppy, we could always send Jack back your way..... Where IS that rascal these days? He'd be at home here..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Aug 08 - 06:05 PM Will someone put him out of my misery?! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Aug 08 - 06:18 PM My slush has run out of puppy again.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 09 Aug 08 - 12:40 PM If the original is close to breaking down, Liz, sometimes it's good to have despair, just in case, just to be able squeak by with should the original go bad. Not that I'm saying purple checks are bad, now...... I'll have a Hanson's sugar-free Grapefruit soda please (SIGH!). That alchoholic stuff sounds so good. Oh well..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: lady penelope Date: 09 Aug 08 - 11:16 AM I'm sure I can rustle up a round of margerita slush puppies.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Aug 08 - 10:08 AM I despair, I really do.... Somebody get me a big BIG long drink! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 08 Aug 08 - 05:59 PM .....then I'd be one wrung-necked peasant, not fit for the poaching. I'm sure the Giant Squid taught her some holds Houdini couldn't have gotten out of..... .....unless, of course. the squid was ticklish. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Aug 08 - 04:24 PM Severn, I swear, if I ever get my hands on you again......! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Severn Date: 07 Aug 08 - 05:57 PM Checked, is it? Purple and what? How did you pull THAT off? With extra body shammy-the-poo, do you get more bounce in your checks? If it's houndstooth checked, than you're REALLY good! By far the best you've accomplished in a checkered career. Just checking, is all..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for business From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Aug 08 - 05:13 PM Just checked.. still purple. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for busines From: Severn Date: 07 Aug 08 - 01:59 PM "Purple Hair! All on your brain..." Is it gone yet? Are you blonde or squid sepia brown? Or are you going to keep it purple, being one of the valliant who dye but once? Who will stay purple longer, you, Limpet or Bruce Murdoch? Remember, Folksingers are supposed to always let their roots show, even if they often keep their sources hidden, hence all the songs about the color of their love's true hair..... Of course no Knight or Squire's son in any of these songs has ever paused mid-song to say, "Wait! You're not naturally flaxen", or golden or whatever, they just go minding their own pleasure, and sometimes even hers..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for busines From: beardedbruce Date: 07 Aug 08 - 12:26 PM ginger beer and lime juice, please. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for busines From: GUEST,LTS pretending to work Date: 28 Jul 08 - 10:46 AM It may not have done the Aquavit any harm, but the Aquavit did someone some harm! Re: the purple hair... Limpit wanted purple hair for a party. There was a bit of dye left over.... need I say more? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for busines From: lady penelope Date: 28 Jul 08 - 10:23 AM Mmm... interesting question. 5 years in a friend's freezer didn't seem to do the bottle of aquavit we have any harm.... Well, the purple hair may be a consequence of all that tea you had saturday, Liz. Or that may have been the rose vodka I ended up drinking.... In the words of 'the man' - It's too darn hot...! I'm a pale and tender limey. What do I know of 30 degrees celcius???? Where's the bleedin' rain they keep promising me??? It's too hot even for (I can't believe I'm saying this...) gin! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Midsummer Tavern open for busines From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jul 08 - 09:34 AM HMMMMM Is there such a thing as bad aquavit? Did you keep it in the freezer in a block of ice, Laurel? Been a while since I had any. |
