Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 22 Jul 99 - 07:48 PM I must say, o' Sam Smith just tastes sweeter as the music plays and the time goes by... what time did you say it was??? Oh, well, another day shot to hell, but it couldn't be in better company. How 'bout one of you blues pickers helping me out here, with "Candy man.... salty dog..." Allison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Jul 99 - 06:44 PM What a nice group here...thanks for the club and lime Duane..I see Banj is up to his...no, make that down...Seems like the boy's gone horizontal on us. I goota' head out...I'm still on the meds from the shrink after that hideous nightmare about me and RiB and Mick and Rick at Moonchild's party..uh, there's no marshmallow creme hear is there???? Damn, but it was one helluva' day......Like I figured I had to go bail out Paw, Cletus, Buford, and the Reg triplets. The Reg boys have to stay in slam til the Canadian rep brings copies of their work permits to the sheriff. It was like I figured but worse. They had to break down the gate to get "closer to the bubbling and burbling" at the Sewage Treatment Plant and sure enough they were still asleep there in the morning! They got charged with B&E, Trespass, and 2 counts each for destruction of property...one for the gate and another for killing the grass where they slept!!! Honest to gawd, they KILLED THE GRASS AT A SEWER PLANT!!!!!.........'Course it gets worse........I GOT CHARGED, yep......since I dropped them off, they charged me with 6 counts of "Contributing to the Stupidity of an Idiot." I gotta' get on to the house. Promised Karen I'd stay home and keep "the Boys" from stopping by. I dunno' where they're off to now, but Lord knows they're OFF. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Helen Date: 22 Jul 99 - 06:28 PM Hey you guys, Can't you let us Aussies get some sleep over here - partying all night and yahooing and carrying on. Well, I'm up and awake now so I'm joining in. I haven't had a chance to go round and say hi to everyone yet or to see everything that's happening but I think Havard knows a song that Mick maybe oughta take notice of - if we can get Havard to drop by. I can see Mick holding Alison in a bear hug preventing her from playing that whistle of hers, and I just heard her old man was on the way to sort things out with Mick. Never mind Mick, just sing this Dubliners song: I loved the ground she walked upon and your Celtic heart will be soothed, although your problem won't be solved. http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=12373&messages=11 Make mine a gin & bitter lemon, I feel like celebrating the opening of this fine tavern Helen |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Duane D. Date: 22 Jul 99 - 05:55 PM Howdy, ev'rybody. Think I'll just sit over here with my ole buddy Spaw. Can you make me a bloody Charlie? Remember, there's TWO olives....better make it a virgin. bbc gets upset when I drink. She knows my system can't take it. One beer and I'm under the table, pullin' on my face.....Hey Joe, don't worry about it. Make me designate every night. Oh it's so nice to see all these old Guild 12's here. I got mine with me and it'll feel right at home. Usually keep it in open G, but I'll put it anywhere to play along. May I join in? Hello Max. I'm glad to finally meet you, no,no, the pleasure's entirely on this end... Anyone seen Jeri? She said she'd like to play some tunes. Hey, when you all get tired of playing, let me know. My 'scope's out in the car. I'll show ya the night sky... I could sure go for some steamers. Do you serve them here????????? |

|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 22 Jul 99 - 05:51 PM j0_77, BOTTLE OF WINE it is. I think I can remember the verses. They may not be in order, but I think they will all be there. I can tell some of us aren't gonna notice one way or the other. Sorry, LEJ, I don't know any Richard Thompson. I wish I did. And I wouldn't mind having some of his guitar skills to go with them. Big Rib |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Liam's Brother Date: 22 Jul 99 - 05:09 PM Hey, Lonesome! Good to see you again. I guess you work here for the company, huh? Gimme a pint of that Flower's stuff. I've only seen that once outside of England... place in Toronto had 40 beers on tap or something. Anything new on the juke box? Oh yeah! Blind Beggar's Daughter of Bethnal Green? By The Who. Oh, no. What did you say, not by The Who but by who? Oh, him. Yeah, good... one of his best. Wow, this is Flower's? What is it... brown ale, porter? You say the label came off the barrel. Good anyway. I wonder where this comes from. Ask one of them Limeys that comes in here, would you. Talking about Limeys, I hear them Beatles are getting back together again. No, I didn't hear who they're gonna get to play the harmonica, maybe that Julian kid. He don't play the harmonica? Ok, scratch Love Me Do and put in Harry Chrishna Everybody instead. Ok, Lonesome, I'm outta here. One's my limit. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: annamill Date: 22 Jul 99 - 05:06 PM Well, I've had a wonderful time ( I wonder who's gonna help ME make it though the yard), but I have a two hour trip home and I gotta go. Thank goodness I took a bus. Maybe I'll be back later. Save me some T+T. Love, annap |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: bbc Date: 22 Jul 99 - 04:49 PM Lonesome, what do you want me to watch it *do*? Hey, everybody, drinks are free until the end of this dance, if I can just figure out how to mix 'em! :)

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: MAG (inactive) Date: 22 Jul 99 - 04:42 PM LEJ, I don't know that one, but it it's a waltz, and you can lead, I can follow. -- MA |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: LEJ Date: 22 Jul 99 - 04:37 PM Ok, another TnT for annap and MAG. And, if bbc can watch the bar for a minute, I'd be happy to waltz, MAG. Any body know Richard Thompson's " Two Steps for Dreamers and Losers in Love"? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: annamill Date: 22 Jul 99 - 04:30 PM Bill, That song was great!! Congratulate Rita for me. I'm making copies and sending them to my friends and my ex son-in-law. He was real good at swimming though the bushes. I always admired that in him, unlike my poor daughter. LEJ, may I have another Tanqueray + tonic please. Get one for MAG too. Bert's treat. ;-) A slow song would be nice. How about a dance Allan? I'd like to see how good a slow dancer you are. Oh and give Max a biiig drink from me. Salut Max.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Den Date: 22 Jul 99 - 03:26 PM Well guys itsh been great but i better be goin' hic. The wife will be suspicious. I'll have to say I fell down a few times in the park. I'm beginning to hear voices telling me how good I look ... could be the complimentary nuts (sorry). Anyway if anyone finds the dog could you bring him home, you'll find instructions on his tags and if anyone finds me....ehh Mick is this your sock... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Sheye Date: 22 Jul 99 - 03:10 PM Negra Modelo, please, and the obligitory palm tree off the deck. Any fajitas left? It's finally stopped snowing, Peter, and the forecast is summer for the next week. TWO snowstorms in July. Bloody ridiculous, I say. (mother nature tends to ingore my ranting.) Sheye |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: LEJ Date: 22 Jul 99 - 03:08 PM Just a snippet from good old Van Morrison. Seed, slide that Sierra over and let me climb on this bar. OK, accapella..a-Hemm...
" We will walk down the Avenue in Style And now, just a minute to tell you about some of our microbrews. We have Offer's India Pale Ale, a crisp and refreshing brew that gets right to the point. We have the SeanM Light Lager, refreshing with a guaranteed grin in every pint. We have the BillDee Belgian Ale, for those who like a little spice in their beer. Or try Alice's Montana Real Pilsner, goes good with the Buffalo Wings. For the connoisseurs of traditional English Bitters, we have the Bert's Best, a mellow and friendly potion. Or Barbara's Blessed Dark Stout, to put a positive spin on your day. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: bbc Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:51 PM Hi, boss, I wondered where you went! In the back, taste-testing Art's recipes, you say? Which one won? Well, back to work. Neil, looks like we have a full food service, as well as bar. What'll you have? I can vouch for the smoked almonds. Other than that, you take your chances. Shhh...did Lonesome hear that? One large pizza for you, Mick. From what I hear, you don't need those oysters! Everybody ok? Anyone for refills? Just give a whistle! bbc |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Bill D Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:47 PM durn! just posted to the 'drinking& sober' thread about the sad state of good beer availability, and I see this! The Tavern is open!...well, I'll just sit near Animiterra and compare Sam Smiths for a bit!...got my autoharp here..(and one of them clamp-on tuners so I can tune in spite of the din)...maybe start off with "Little Darlin' Pal o' Mine"...in G)......Later in the evening, I'll have to decide between Metaxa Grand Fin, Tullamore Dew..(from the crock!), and Cragganmore single malt for a nightcap. When it gets LATE, I may be inclined to close my eyes, put away the 'harp and sing "The Twa Corbies", "Love is Teasin" or "Lucy Wan"..... wow...I feel better already... (I assume we better make 100 post limits on the pub thread, huh?...the start over..or even daily like the 'thought for the day') |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Neil Lowe Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:40 PM Hear, hear......and a great story, bartender. Thanks for the drinks. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Peter T. Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:27 PM Salut!! Chateau Cat Water, eh?!!!Bedder dan de Yukon 'ere. Black Jack Shellac |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: annamill Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:26 PM A toast to Shambles. You'll be sorely missed. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: LEJ Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:22 PM Oh, yes, Bert. Good news. Got Visa to up your limit again! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: LEJ Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:18 PM Damn, don't you people ever go home?! Hey I'M JOKING. These shrimp are amazingly tasty, especially the horseradish/Pickapeppa/Louisiana Hot dipping sauce. Guess I'd better shift to a lager for cooling purposes. In fact, this St Pauli will do VERY nicely. Steve Parkes, this is your lucky day cause I found one pint can of Joule's in the cellar. Put that Brit money away- it's no good here.Right, it's on Bert. Whew! This place is hoppin. bbc can you take this extra large pizza with anchovies over to Mick, but tell him we're fresh out of raw oysters? Thanks. Ready for another Metaxas, RZ? Who the heck's driving you home anyway? Neil, funny you should mention Cassady and Kerouac. You know this place wasn't always the Mudcat. Used to be called the Minor Key in the late 50's and early 60's, and those boys would sit in a booth and listen to the be-bop jazz we used to have here, and eat about 3 pounds of onion rings and endless beer with whiskey backers. Sometimes, some nights, some of our patrons still see them, and the old dark green Merc that Neal drove. Cassady carved his initials on the wood pillar over in the corner there. Here, buddy, here's another Turkey rocks. Peter T, you just want a beer? You know we've got everything here. Try some of this stuff from Iceland that Skarpi left last time he was here. Hey, Sheye. I got a free one for you- anything you want. Shula left it on the Free Drink Board for you. She said for the old times. Annap,this is the last of the Tanqueray. You want Boodle's after this? Oh,OK, I'll send Cletus after some more Tanquray. Den, it's gonna take another 40 minutes on all those Guinnesses. Gotta pull em right y'know. Animaterra, you got a Smith's Oatmeal coming. You want ice cold or cool? That got everybody? Oh, almost forgot- Please, EVERYONE. Can I have your attention. Just one toast for a good friend, The Shambles, and for all the others that can't be here. God bless you, and may you be in Heaven five minutes before the Devil knows you're dead. Slainte. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: annamill Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:14 PM Neil, I'll be happy to talk...ah, listen to Jack for a while. He has seen so much. He brings me back to the 60's. You go eat. Fascinating man... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Neil Lowe Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:54 PM ....bbc, you're doing a fine job, I wasn't all that hungry anyway, more thirsty .... Kerouac eats enough for the both of us, and with him rambling on a mile a minute about freight trains and bee-bop and everything else under the sun I can't eat and listen to him at the same time. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Allan C. Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:44 PM Dunno, Bert. The last time I drank something that was from the back of someone's truck, I wandered back into the tavern's kitchen, bounced off of the refrigerator, careened (rather noisily) off of the rack of pots and pans and fell headlong into the dust bin. So if it's all the same to you, I think I'll just stick to the bottled 'n bond stuff. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: annamill Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:27 PM Oh Roger, Don't be sad. You can watch Kat and I dance. I do a mighty good wipeout myself, Kat. ... but first, another Tanquerey if you would , LEJ.
|
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Bert Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:23 PM I hope you guys and gals all realise that there is a $200 a day limit on my credit card. After that it's homebrew time. Cletus has a keg of it in the back of his truck. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:18 PM LEJ! That was a great fajita! I'm feelin' a little maudlin tonight, what with the fracas at the 'Cat and people leavin' or thinkin' of leavin'. I think it'll be allright though. We've got a couple of singers in the crowd. I'll capo up to the second fret and play in C (that makes the key D for the tone deaf out there). This one is a sad sing along. I think most of you will know it. "Have you seen the old man in the closed down market, Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes?.... Big RiB (if you look closely you might see a tear in my eye) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: katlaughing Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:15 PM A cast iron skillet'll work just fine at taming dearie Mick down; an Irish woman under full sail as he calls it. Now, Mick, about those Fertility rites; it might be ya need ta coom back with me to the Temple for a bit more instruction in the Art of Finesse. Yes, Art, ya did a good job, but I think he needs a littl' reinforcement! Oh, and where in the Temple Handbook did it say brass bikinis were allowed?? Aiieeee! No wondering Alison was givin' him whatfor! I thought we women were the only ones allowed to wear any Xena-like intimates! Well, bbc, another for me would be good. Darn computing has got the ole' muscles tight, again. Now, maybe if you all were to speed things up a bit, say to the tempo of Wipeout I might be able to work the kinks out in a dance or two. Used ta be they'd make a circle around just ta watch me shimmy to it. No, no, I'm not asking for that one specifically, just that fast beat, something we can really mooove to, ya know?

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: bbc Date: 22 Jul 99 - 01:11 PM Ooops! I stepped out to the Ladies & must of lost track of time! Poor Neil, you must be starving by now! Hey, boss, do we have any food back there? Neil, I'll see what I can do; don't go away! |
