Awful quiet for a Thursday night. I am glad that the old Tavern is back. I'll climb into me old penguin suit (made of lovely polar fleece, even better than pjs with feet) and go for one of those few remaining bottles of old Catamount Porter. I'll miss that old brewery.

I'm packing too much in these days, music, work, meetings (gach!) gardening, family, more music, ) and haven't been able to keep up with those long ship tavern adventures. Nice to come in here and catch up a bit.

H'aint found no "friends" here, just found a "hua ehoa" -- Um... I'm good at words, but can't get my tongue round them at the moment.

"Hua ehoa" is gettin' into spiritual realms. And I've just rejuvinated me spirits - NOT Methylated - Risky-lated - What thread am I in Fred? I'm fretting...

Anyway ~S~weeTart. "Friend" ain't a word I'd use for Mudcap. Yer all just a pack of "Tarts".

Oh dear, I'm gettin' into trouble with words.

HELP - I am in the Pub ain't I?

Fer Crissake, some-one, bail me out.......

Oh dear - gotta go back to the "Tittie" thread?

Well Sam, then, yer in the right place. Not just the Tavern, love, but in the hearts and souls of the Mudcat friends you've made.

An' next time ye have balls to clean up, dear man, see one of us! We'd use a far gentler potion than the meths! An' then none of the nasty stuff layin' around, see?

An' I can't find it in my heart to pass you my pitcher, but my smile and my lap and a draught of pure love, now, of these ye may drink most deep.

Keep Sugar Dog's recliner ready for her, now, there's a pal... I'm off to me bed where lies Heartiman the Fiddler.

Bin snoozin' again

Sorch - I'm an innocent wee lad, but I've heard about these Jello Pit thingies. Don't think it's my scene. Too slippery for me, I'd lose my grip. (So what's new, I've lost ny grip on sanity since I met you twerps).

Amergin - "The Drunken King" is beautiful - my theme song, I'm sure.

Well, team, since we're snugged up in the snuggery, may I make a TRUE confession. I've been an "alky" for years, but thanks to the un-sobering influence of you lot, last night, I hit the ultimate depths of depravity. I became a "metho".

Oh hell - think I may have to explain the term. Methylated Spirits is what US-a-Folk would call "rubbing alcohol", "raw spirits" or somesuch - ie methyl alcohol - (definitely not for drinking - makes ya go blind). "Meths" is coloured purple (you can get rid of the colour by straining it through bread).

In NZ (and I guess most other countries) down and outs (Methos) drank meths as cheap a substitute for the real stuff.

Anyway.... After kat popped my cherry last night, I had a few more 'skies than normal, hit the pit, and woke up as dry as a tin god. I stumbled through the dark, and grabbed the bottle of ginger ale, sitting by the computer, and downed a humungeous great slug. WRONG BOTTLE - 'twas the meths I used to clean my ball (mouse) with the other day. Aaaaarrgggghhhhh...

Cait, 'nother Willie Wilsons to obliterate the taste...

After that I may even post my "Ode to Willie Wilsons"

Ta'luv - thats better.

Hell, I bin' snoozin' agin'...

Sooz the flooz, had fergit "floosie".

Metch-o-sin with me and a Talisker. We've got a cruise yacht Talisker here. The skipper bought it, complete with a Talisker bottle on board. Laughed me tits off - it was MT - he's a bit of a stingy sod. A guy from Skye was bringing me a bottle last November, but alas, we didn't mother up. BTW - just finished reading "Whisky Galore" again - wonderful yarn about a whole WWII shipload of US bound whisky sinking in the Hebrides, who didn't have a snort in the whole place. I've got a song brewing. A UK programmer mate's got a bottle his grandad salvaged off the real shipwreck.

Wheww... I'm wide awake, "Cait, m'love - what single malts on the bowser?"

Oh, what a Pub this is.....

THE SUGAR DOG MAN

This little puppy, she got her a wag
And a wiggle and a giggle and a tail for a flag!
She can always hear the step of the wunnaful Sugar Dog Man,
And the Sugar Dog Man he sees her, huh! As only he can.

Yes the Sugar Dog Man,
Now that's a treasure like wow!
Cuz a Sugar Dog Man, baby--
He ain't never fooled, nohow!

Corgi and Retriever, and a little corraggio sure,
Sugar Dog is faithful with a heart that is pure.
Sugar Dog and Sugar Dog Man, they go for a ride,
Beats keepin' up with that LONG Sugar Dog Man stride!

Yes the Sugar Dog Man,
That's a keeper you know!
Cuz a Sugar Dog Man, lil sugar dogs,
He always knows where to go!

Sugar Dogs is 'licious! An' Sugar Dogs is sweet.
A real Sugar Dog will lick you, yes, right offa your feet!br> Sugar Dog Man don't use a leash, he don't tell you to stay,
Sugar Dog Man just offer a lap, cuz that's the bestest Sugar Dog way!

Yes the Sugar Dog Man,
He treat him his Sugar Dog all right!
Rather play with this old Sugar Dog
Than glare up a Sugar Dog fight.

Ok you asked for it. Here's the full deal.

The Drunkard King

The pitcher's on the bar
The glass is in my hand
The fag is in the ashtray
I'm in that wonderful land
Known as Tir-na-nog
The land of eternal youth
The beer in my belly
Slowly begins to sooth
The warmth rises to my head
I forget the sorrows of the day
As I feel this great uplifting
There's only one thing I can say:

Drunkenness is my only virtue
The pub is my second home
The taps and bottles are my subjects
The barstool is my throne

The band begins to play its jig
Lonesome songs of yearning
As they strike the first chord
The masses begin their churning
As I slowly drink in
The great water of life
I scan this mystic land
It is empty of all strife
As I sit on my drunken throne
The faeries around me prance
My feet stomp with the drums
Longing to join the dance
Suddenly I laugh and yell
So fucking loud and clear
Every head turns toward me
Their ears straining to hear
As the barman sadly tells me
That I cannot stay
But that's alright for me
Tomorrow is another day

Because:

Drunkenness is my only virtue
So, remember when I sing
That the taps and bottle are my subjects
For I am the drunkard king!

Ah, there's my bottle.
