Peter, do you think they still make Singapore Slings? I would like mine with an umbrella that works. Some of those umbrellas are broken.
Is it just you, Me & Ernie in the bar?
Do you like my lapdog? His name is chastity. He is quite the guard dog.

I don't know about Singapore Slings, but I have a recipe for Bering Balls that I learned from an Alaskan bartender. Do we have a blender and some Everclear?

Chastity, huh? Have to belt out some "Rover, Come Over" for the little furball.

Howdy, folks! I just pulled back into Greenville, and after being stuck behind a school bus doing 50 mph for 35 miles, it's good to be back. So what music's going down tonight? I tried out Hearme earlier. Lots of fun, but no one could hear me! I tried to sing Dougie's "She Will Find Me" but I wasn't coming in very clear. So I'll play it for the present company!

Thanks Mbo. Ever loving of Dougie. How's about the Morning Cruel and Clear? Sorry to hear about the HearMe fiasco. All good intents I suppose...

Lovely place, as always, Peter. At least someone opened a window. The other tav had quite the smell about it. We'll be fine until the Regs show up.

Have to get my walking shoes back on and go find Dave. Left him pouting under a blanket in Tavern 1999. He's had a bath, you know. Courtesy of Alice. When she gets here, her drinks are on me.

Banjo Bonnie, can you spare Chastity long enough to have the canine guard my chair?

Mbo m'dear, how's about a little Down the Glen for travelling music? Ta. Elle

Banjo Bonnie: Food processor will do nicely. Before I go hunt up Salty, I'll make the batter. Let's seeeee...mix up the cocoa and "special ingredient X". Keep it in the freezer until it gets sticky, then mix it half and half with the Everclear, food process with a little crushed ice, and it's a lovely chocolate malted that will make the fur on Chastity's little bod curl twice! Yummy! Save a bit for Dave though, he's had such an ordeal...And poor sod thinks I'm to blame for part of it. I tried to tell him that I wanted to fill the sink for his monthly scrub. Complete with little plastic boats and bubble bath that smells of rye....I've still got the boats though, for when we run out of umbrellas that work :) Elle

No chocolate for the doggie folks! toxic.

I'll rooch around behind the bar and whip up a brandy alexander. hands up if you want a pitcherful.

work has been the snake's belly lately: portopotties while they romodel the bathrooms, pulling all the books down for repainting, resurfacing the parking lot, grouchy customers, grouchy boss, grouchy us, budget cuts, layoffs, etc etc. and it was snowing on New Years Eve so I skipped my dance.

Any gents up for a waltz? I need a lift.

(The door flies open, and the same obnoxious big, long-haired man with the bodrhan and black duster walks in, snapping the dust off his black Stetson with a loud "pop" against his leg. He sits the drum atop the bar and sighs…)

Ah, found the Tavern again! What with the complaints of drummers that play too loudly or too fast, I've a need of a good stout something to see me through! Pour a Guinness and a double of dark rum to burn a path for it will you?

What I don't understand is the simple fact the boys have all overlooked: Did you ever notice the shape a tipper has? (He pulls the stick for his drum out, and twirls it.) If you don't like the playing, you could insert it in the proper orifice. What? You don't believe me? Watch a bodrhan player walk! Happens all the time! Besides, we get a free month at the Neil Young Clinic if we ever decide to give up the flat box and take up a real instrument!

Pubman! While I wait for a tune to start; Would you have any yeast about. I need some Prise de Mousse for a batch of home-brew mead I'm making. I need a cheap drunk in about six months, so I figured if I start now, I could just make it.

I'll play South Wind for your waltz, since it seems to be what's headed our way. More blasted rain, followed by a freeze, followed by rain . . . Winter is NOT like it used to be. Why we used to be able to build real snow forts in the banks the plows left by January, and today we walked over stubble in farmers fields in the Northeast Kingdom (beautiful Peacham VT) and the snow didn't even go over our toes. Some fool was out there on a snow machine (grass machine) Ah well. Perhaps we will have winter again someday, but this global warming is a real thing, or I run a steak house.

Well, enough of the When I was a child stuff. I need to get some of JenEllen's concoction. Sounds remarkable. Just be careful about using CRUSHED ICE in a cuisinart. I made the mistake of putting whole cubes in with yogurt once, and had it all over the walls. A friend was sitting in my kitchen at the time and both of us were rolling on the floor. It all happened so fast, and dairy products on the walls would NOT improve the ambiance.

MAG dear, what a horrible story....you deserve a good waltz. But don't be so hard on poor Chastity, if the Everclear doesn't do the trick, the chocolate won't. A little virtual hooch for the pooch!

Mikal, I don't believe in this tavern you have to worry about too loud or too fast. Consider the company you are keeping! For your brew, I think the yeast is back in the storeroom behind the still. Just do us a favor and take a flashlight, we can't have any flames back there...

Hey there Susan, glad to have you back. A sister in the destruction of kitchen appliances as well as comfy loungewear? I tried to make guacamole in a food processor once, with some avacados that weren't quite ripe....We found out the hard way that avacado facials really work. :) How's about that waltz for MAG??

(He runs his hand over the drum head, lovingly.)

Well, if you are going to need me to drum, I'll need to wet down the head to make sure it's mellow. I always use beer, of course. Don't give me anything cheap! The quality of the brew will effect the drum-head, doncha' know! Something black, smooth and full bodied. Since Grace Jones isn't here, give me a Guinness!

Oh, and while we're doing songs that need a drum, I've a mind to sing my favorite to drum with. But I'll not need the tipper for "Beat of a Lover's Heart." And don't go away with that dishtowel. I'll need it for the tears afterward.

Nah, It's not that the song is so sad, It's the way I sing it…

Hey all, I love them drinks that don't taste like they got alkihol in 'em. The ice cream ones or the flavored whiskeys but every time I get a bit too much, words start tumblin out that should never part my lips. So better just make me a designated driver and make mine a rootbeer. Thomas Kempers on tap if you've got it and toss in a big scoop or two of that Breyer's vanilla ice cream. Ahh that's the ticket.

Uncomfortably extracted from his residence in virtual eighteenth century, and thrown into a modern tavern. Overwhelmed by the chrome stainless steel and plastic. Totally in awe of the eletrickery at the tables and bar; mystified at the chocolate ice cream and fizzy pop. "Beam me up Cap'n I don't belong here" "Please beam me up there's nothing here honest"!!! WAIT! one cotton picking minute here! I just spotted a bottle of Jamaican rum and a Black Bushmills side by side, Glory be boys there are real drinks here after all. Belay there Cap'n, there may be intelligent life in this place after all. ( at least there are females, Aye and right pretty ones too ) Avast beaming! settling into what he hopes is a 21st century chair, and not a possum's nest. Looking around at the serious looking people trying hard to sing bawdy songs. Oh well in for a penny in for a pound.....here goes they can only throw me out once.

If all them young ladies were bell's in a tower I'd be a Sexton and bang on the hour. Roll yer leg over roll yer leg over Oh roll yer leg over the man in the moon.

If all them young ladies were sweet little rabbits I'd be their buck and I'd teach em their habits. Oh roll yer leg over roll yer leg over roll yer leg over the man in the moon.

Maybe I can just stay around a bit longer.... looking wistfully at a poster showing that the "Tall Ships" are coming to Halifax in 2000. You never know they might still need an old codger like me after all. Yours, (trying hard to figure his place in the grand scheme of things) Aye. Dave

Caitrin, it's agin the law of the sea (which reaches back way further into antiquity than Christianity)for anyone to hit a Barmaid or Barman (even when they screw up your drinks)if there are sailors present. It offends the laws of nature and mankind to do such a dastardly thing. When the issue is raised at the post mortem for the offenders; I have seen many judges put death by natural causes when, they hear sailors witnesed it. If it occurs here, I shall give the world a lesson in why the cutlass should be registered. The Laws state that any such miscreant for a first offence shall have various parts of their anatomy fastened to the anchor cable with piano wires, and anchors let go at dawn. A second offence and ye just don't want to hear what I has to do to them. (But I would make Ghengis Khan look like a Liberal)Aaaargh, mates, sounds of sharpening steel. Yours, (former bouncer)Aye.

HOLMES: Excuse me, my good sir, we are here to inquire about a certain individual who has been known the frequent this establishment.
THE BOUNCER: You WHAT?

I was'nt joking about that, years ago I was one in Blackpool England, the only way I got enough money to go to the nautical school in Fleetwood to get my mates ticket. Arrgh dig's and booze are expensive; and I also worked as a waiter, ranch hand, stevedore in USA and Canada. when I was laid off from ships that is....

Caitrin, I have no Idea about The Neil Young Centre it must be an in house Code/joke that Catters in the know use to show us mere mortals that we are not THE IN Folkie crowd. But then I used to think some of the abbreviations you commonly used were....well another way of telling me to go and perform disgusting unnatural acts with my private parts on display outside the nearest police station or but fortunately thanks to a kind member with ICQ who took pity on the old fellah and gave me the site to decode them I now know that you were all very nice and enjoyed my sense of humour.

No matter! We need a song, or another ale! Looking at the length of that tab, someone is going to have the numbers ground off that credit card soon, or the whole lot of us will be on blocks in the front yard!

I'll run the P.O.W. camp from my little chair! I've got my barrel of Guinness (and a hefty straw)...I'll try to work on the Hogans Heroes accent, and grab a riding crop. "Vat do you zink you are doing? Zing, damn you, ZING!!!" All of them in ankle chains, singing the Banana Boat song until they drop from sheer exhaustion. And me in my little chair....luvly!

Have ye heard the Q and O Calypso..

Here we go in memory of the Quebec and Ontario Paper Co. fleet

Down de way where the lights are gay
and the sun shines daily on de mountain top
I took a trip on a Q&O ship
and when we reached Jamaica we made a stop

Well I'm sad to say she's had her day
Obsolete in every way
and the engineers pray for many a day
that Q&O sell her to de Greek

Ohhhh, Wellington was the bodach who said the Irish were not his brothers--he was right! Eire never had any black blood from him! (A great poem!) Dave, this sword is Narsil, the sword that was broken--and it will be forged again as Anduril--Flame of the West. Barkeep! Get a Scotch for Marshall MacDonald--his father was a richt guid Jacobite! Let me just get my guitar and we'll do the Marengo Twist!

Brrrrr. Where's Spaw?? he was gonna buy me a drink tonight, and boy am I ready. Neat scotch when he arrives. In the mean time, I'll have some earl gray tea. Oh MMario, I just got a two pound bag of wasabi at the kitchen, so I'm sure I can spare you a couple of ounces. Hmm, this stuff is paler than usual, imagin if someone thought I was dealing in coccaine and tried some in the usual fashion. oh baby that would hurt.

I just had a lovely day singing with friends. Snows of France and Holland, Julian of Norwich, the Great Silkie, Ezekiel, Pull Down Lads, Seven Bridges Road, Old Coat, Their Brains Were Small and They Died, Wife of the Soldier, Until We Meet Again (Dougie's) Oh Had I a Golden Thread. The Final Trawl, Inchworm. I am one happy camper. We haven't gotten a chance to sing together since this summer. I need MORE of that.

Spaw? Where are yooooooo?

Wow! Sunday night already, and I'm STILL waiting for Spaw (well, I have done a few other things, laundry, bookkeeping, cooking, errands, reading of trashy boks, pancakes, etc.) but jeeze, what does a girll have to do to get a drink. Thank heavens for Sorcha, or I'd be dehydrated and depressed. As it is, well I'm just hunkered down with my port (very old port, I might ad) and a nice mandola that I borrowed from someone, and am biding my time. My bear friend is a bit impatient, and has gone to try his luck fishing in the jellow pit.

(He walks in limping slightly on his right side, resplendent in a drop brim black hat with a narrow leather band, and a small Kingon pin attached to the front.)

Oh, the humanity of it all! Thirty seven drunken flamingoes standing in the street when the ambulance from the Neil Young Center whipped by here! The air is thick with pink feathers! It's enough to make a man long for the good old days of text-only browsers and Windows 286!

I brought the next barrel of Guinness. So tell me, why does that one think I should feed the drum the good stuff! I get the good stuff! The drum is a Remo with the artificial head, carbon fiber body and graphite rear rods! The pale stuff is good enough for plastic! Save the mothers milk for me!

Hey…It sure is quiet here…

Okay! Who stole the tavern?

Aye, well . . .

I hear the wee Clifton's been huggin' the black beer, And scratchin' his bald head, for there's no Rob-o near; Let me say it right off, tis the brother, I'm here! But now he's gone, who knows where, with his glass left half clear;

As it's been a long day in this high mountain town, I'll not puzzle the question, I'll swash it right down; Keep an eye o'er my shoulder, lads, heed every sound, And gimme two fresh blacks quickly if he comes back around!

. . . Aye, still cold, too!

In fact pour a round for everyone. Here's to old dogs in general. Our, "god knows what breed" Old Wort, managed to successfully perform the full act of copulation with our young West Highland Terrier this week too, despite the fact that he's twelve years old and neutered. Wonders never cease!
