There, there, Bonnie, darlin', just rest here a bit, I'll have ole LeeJ mix you up a power shake with lots of berries, rice milk, protein powder, and some cracked ice. It won't put hair on yer chest, but it'll get yer blood sugar going and perk ya right up there, sweetie. LeeJ, if ya would, please?? We got a young-un here what needs a little pampering.

How 'bout singing something calm and quiet now for a few minutes, phoaks?

Ahhh...British Isles Richards. Folks always think that my last name has some sort of BI connection, but my Richards relatives were German. I read in a book about German immigration that "Richards" was often an Ellis Island change for the name "Reichartz." It's sad, no one knows when they came over, exactly where they were from, or what their original name was. But music can create relatives sometimes stronger than blood! Let's play! Where was I? Oh yes. "In Habbanan, beneath the stars, where all roads end, however long..." Is this working, Bonnie?

Ah, same old tavern. Nice fire, nice music, nice neat whiskey. Mmmm, my kind of place, and lots of nifty Catters here too. Say Doug R, how long is the line? Oh and Llanfair and BB, I've brought a couple pairs of fuzzy slippers and a few walking sleeping bag bathrobes (someone gave me one for Christmas, and it's great. I look like a penguin in it, but I don't care, it's warm and at this time of year, that is a priority.) Oh, and I've brought a few Kahlua Chocolate Chip cookies, and some Spinach tiropitas (I know, it isn't steak and kidney pie, but I have a reputation to maintain out there)

Now for that neat whiskey and a nice spot at the end of the massage line. Oh, and I'd love to sing Seven Bridges Road if anyone is up for a bit of harmony on that one.

Can't have that. Seeing as I'm a lass that's fit for a rumble, what say we talk the possum into covert action? Promise him a few more of the mints from the men's room, and see if he'll slide into Knute's parka for a tango. More Guiness! Ta to Susan for the bathrobe, penguin or not, you cut a dashing figure.

Habban Beneath the Stars was lovely...I've finished my pint and now I'm spoiling for a wee rumble. I found the possum, he was rolling in the jello pit with the cat. (The next batch of kitties on that couch are going to look awfully strange) He's agreed to go along with the plan so long as there is a foot-rub in it for him when he gets back. I told him the bloke on the floor would do it when he woke up. Sorry, but there isn't enough protection in the world for ME to do it after what I saw in the jello. Now for the distraction....I'm thinking a rousing "Night the Old Dunn Cow Caught Fire". I'll sneak out to old Knute, unzip the penguin get-up just a wee bit, and give the guy a glimpse of lily white shoulder, then on your first "MACINTYRE" I'll send in the marsupial. Should be smashing. Spaw, get the grin off your chops and do something useful. Write a few verses of "Possum Protruding from My Penguin Pajamas" and I'll be back in time to sing in the chorus. Elle.

I believe I'll have a nice stout and warm up on a few shanties so that I can sing Come By the Hills in the sweet style it requires. NO Cleigh, you may not have a sip. Spaw has cut you off, and I quite agree. Besides, I now have a clay bear whistle of me own, and a bear outweighs a possum any day, so mind your manners.

Sorry phoaks, I know it's cozy in here, but I need every able-bodied man, woman, and possum to yank on their mucklucks and give me a hand. Roger the Skiffler just radioed to say he was stuck in a snow drift with a semi-load of Guinness, Bushmill's, Carlsberg and other assorted Y2K essentials, about 200 yards down the road. But before we go out on this errand of mercy, line up at the bar for your choice of cognac, scotch, bourbon or peppermint schnapps.

(A weary looking man enters, brushing the snow from his black Stetson and shaking loose from his black leather duster. His right hand hovers over a bodrhan slung at his hip. His left hand holds a bulging gunny sack. His long hair is tied back to walk in the storm.)

So this is where you all go when I can't find you! Pubman! A Guiness, if you will, and a dram of Drambuie to carry the flag! It's been a rare holiday, boys. Haggis for twenty and the family game o' spoons. What, you don't know how to play? Well you shuffle two decks o' cards and give each fool at the table five. Then the dealer draws one and tries to make three of a kind. If the card is not the one he needs, he passes it left. First to make three o' a kind picks up a spoon. Of course there's one less mouth-shovel than players don'tcha know. In my clan we plays with knives…The stitches look right fine, don'tch think?

Anyway, We were tryin' to choke down th' haggis, (tall tumblers of single malt help!) when me dear sainted mother says, "sing fer us Mikal." An' bats those nearly lashless eyes at me. What is a poor man to do, eh? So I stand and deliver in good fashion, runnin' a fair beat on the old skin-box here. I whirl my way through "Mary's Wedding," and do a good turn on ""The Wren."

All this time I see that I have been singing', the family has been packin' away the haggis to beat the band! If I am a man o' even simple brains, I figure I need to sing a bit longer, and they will have eaten all mine too!

What? You've never had haggis, girl? Imagine the stomach of a sheep, stuffed with oats and all the parts of the animal no human and few dogs would eat! Boil it in the stomach for an hour or so, and serve it grey and quivering on a platter with whiskey to drink. It's Scotland's revenge on all of us who came here instead of staying home in the highlands where we should have.

Anyway, I think I have it made! I decide one more song and I will not have to eat this stuff for a whole 'nother year. Then bang! I did it. What should come out of my mouth but "Some friends an' I in a public house, were playin' dominoes last night…" (Sorry, didn't mean to make you all run fer cover like that…I won't sing it, I promise!)

You guessed it; Knives went flyin'. Th' game o' spoons was delayed until all the sharps could be re-assembled and the bleeding could be staunched. An' to top it off, I had to take all the leftover haggis. It's in the gunny sack there, if you've a stout stomach…
