Just whatever you do, don't complain about the bodhran...you'll be walking home with a leeward list! Elle

Did somebody say Everclear? Want me to do "Father of Mine"? Hey, I got some drink-mixing music--if I can get some folks the join me, we could do Stockton's Wing's "Skidoo" which was inspired by a Artic expedition. Mikal we're going to need your bodhran in here too!

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?? Elle

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.

(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.

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.

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

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

Elle, would a food processor do for the Bering Balls?
Could we make a bit extra and pour it into Chastity's doggy dish?

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!

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.

Better than Flush as a name for a lapdog, I guess.
But you're right, it is sort of quiet for a Sunday evening....yours, Peter T.

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.

After 135, we old computer geezers can't click the old threads the way we used to. So....new drinks for a new millenium. Another round on Bert!
