Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 10:50 AM ONe riot, one ranger? I thought the Idaho League ratio was more like ten riots, 1 ranger. DH - Can that shotgun be loaded with dry rub? I've got a a couple 40 foot filets of Rhincodon typus that needs to be marinated and smoked. That shotgun would sure help speed up the process! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:01 AM You think 80 feet of filet will be enough? The fishmonger has some Leedsichthys problematicus filets about 60 foot long - but I thought that might be a bit too much... Maybe I should get one - could always stuff it and bake it for a later course. The marinated filets are appetizers. thinly sliced, with some onion, cream cheese...mmmMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:08 AM Suddenly perceiving a dangerous situation, and deciding to take care of it herself, Sage whispers to the cats and ducks and they all discreetly (for cats and ducks) climb and flutter up into the brown and tinder dry tree in the rafters and remove the various glass ornaments and set them aside on the beams above. Sage signals to MMario behind the bar to push the botton on the left behind the coffee maker--no, on the LEFT! That's it--to open the big skylight on the west side of the tavern. Moonglow sets aside her math homework and climbs up to the beam to untangle the harness that the tree was suspended in. Sage nudges the slightly sloshed Rustic Rebel down one place at the bar and reaches behind it to push the button for the trebuchet harness and the dry tree rotates slowly, then lower, and finally shifts angles and is suddenly ejected butt-end first out of the skylight and lands on the far side of the gravel parking lot with a barely audible thud. Dry brown needles with the wonderful scent of the nobel fir sprinkle down onto the bar and floor. The new large fresh tree will be arriving soon. . .don't forget the ornaments are stashed on the beams. "Whew! That could have turned this place into a fire trap!" Moonglow climbs down and resumes her work. The bartender slips her a nice hot mug of mulled cider and receives a breathtakingly gorgeous smile. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 03 Dec 04 - 11:37 AM Why is MMario playing with the coffe maker's bottom? Oh sorry, it's dark in here and I've only just woken up. There's a funny smell of scorched nuts in here and I'm covered in dead pine needles which I'll still be finding in July. Mind what you're doing with that tree, nearly knocked my pint over. I wouldn't bend over there MBSLynne, ouch, too late. Still we won't need to get a fairy this year and it's only until 12th night. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Dec 04 - 12:53 PM I hope it didn't hit anything important out at the edge of the parking lot. . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:07 PM oh dear! more people - maybe I better add a carrot or two to the hor d'euve tray! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: rumanci Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:09 PM you lot need a proper certified licensee in here ! I might know somebody who could qualify on both counts........ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: chris nightbird childs Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:11 PM Rum, is that you? Licensee? And ruin all the fun? HA! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: rumanci Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:14 PM no worries Chris .........the emphasis was on the certifiable ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:24 PM we are legally outside of every venue in the (humanly) known universe - that's one of the beauties of the MudCat Tavern. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: chris nightbird childs Date: 03 Dec 04 - 01:57 PM I think we're all certifiable... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 03 Dec 04 - 02:15 PM Chris - this party ain't even begun to happen - check back through the archives for some of the other mudcat taverns - or even better - read about our trip on the Riverboat Albert Hansell! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Blowzabella Date: 03 Dec 04 - 02:28 PM Heck - I'm just popping in on my way to a meeting about Premises Licenses - mind if I push in - this time next year, there'll need to be a SIA registered doorman on here probably - you do realise that, do you? Just giving fair warning you understand - or perhaps I haven't read it right...now, where did I see the reference ...page 156 of the guidance was it?.....back in a bit everyone... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Dec 04 - 03:18 PM I thought that there was already a door, man. If there ain't, what do ya call that thing you have to open and close to go in and out of? (OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUCH! Glad to get that off my chest. Next time I'll wear a shirt and stick the star to that. And pants or trousers. Have to remember to wear pants or trousers, but not both. I'd wear a kilt, but the Idaho Legionaires think they're sissy, or did until a highlander tossed four or five of them like a camber, and then drew down on 'em with a priobroch. But then again, I don't have a kilt so I'll have to wear trews.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: My guru always said Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:15 PM That's enough work for one evening, decided the MadCat, stifling the impulse to play with the glass balls arrayed before her on the rafter. Determined to assist Rustic Rebel with whatever she's drinking & make up for that unfortunate episode last Christmas (or perhaps beat a hasty retreat), the sweet little Kitty spies a very useful looking crystal chandelier. Hmmm, is that really a good idea? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:17 PM Someone said something about bubble bath in the jello pit, so I've filled it with gelatine and champagne.......bubbly jelly.....tickles!!! Heeee HEEEE! Eeeek! Got to get out of there! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 03 Dec 04 - 04:22 PM Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!! How did I end up on top of this bloody tree??? And with nothing on except jelly bubbles. HELP!! Get me down from here and back in the tavern!!! This car park is c-c-c-cold... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Dec 04 - 08:40 PM Oh thank heaven for that. I thought it was going to be me up there again..... Lynne, we'll send you up a food parcel and some clean knickers once a week. OK? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,The Amazing Rutherford Date: 03 Dec 04 - 09:43 PM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Woman in tree top. GOOD! Eat GOOD! Woman come to Rutherford. Rutherford EAT! Yum! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Dec 04 - 01:07 AM Ewwwwww. . . This is what I tried to say earlier (I looked at the source code--it is there, but for some reason doesn't show up) "Oops, sorry Lynne" (for some reason the "marquee" html doesn't work today) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 04 Dec 04 - 06:56 AM Working fine for me and was there when I first saw it some time ago.... So what about the Panto for this year then? Robin |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 04 Dec 04 - 08:02 AM Look guys...I don't mind sitting on top of the tree, but can it be the one INSIDE, not the old one in the car park??? And yes please Liz to the food parcel, but what about the DRINK!!!???? And the clean knickers are a bit irrelevant due to where the tree is...... I was going to say something to the Amazing Rutherford about squid...but on second thoughts..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Oaklet Date: 04 Dec 04 - 10:21 AM ...er hello, I am from England and would like to enquire about rooms. Do you have accomodation? You do - ah good......pardon, how long? Yes....er....right.....I was thinking about... er... 'til the end of January 2005 or slightly after - you know, 'til it all blows over. Oh that's good. Again? - Ah, If it's ok with you, I'd like the room at the front - I don't want to be disturbed by that woman stuck in the tree. Porter? er no thanks It's ok - I only have a small bag. I'll manage. Thanks. Er, no newspaper thanks. And no alarm call please - don't worry - I'll know when it's January..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Dec 04 - 11:08 AM Maybe one of the guys would hand me that little Swede hook behind the bar (in the cupboard back there, see it?) and I'll go lop the limbs off of the old tree and chunk it into pieces. They'll smell good in the fireplace now that they've dried for a year. They might pop and spark a little so be sure the fireplace screen stays in place. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 04 Dec 04 - 12:59 PM Just be really careful which limbs you're chopping off there SRS!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Dec 04 - 01:13 PM Maybe it's time to get out of the old tree, put on some clothes, and come inside for a drink, Lynne! How'd you end up there, anyway? You weren't in it when it was launched through the skylite. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 04 Dec 04 - 07:50 PM Oak, how about getting your small bag a drink... she looks thirsty. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: SINSULL Date: 04 Dec 04 - 08:54 PM Singed nuts, broken balls, and an angel with a tree stuck up her...and I thought I had problems. Refill on the JD please and I will retreat to my corner and help Rapaire finish off that half-assed waxing job on his chest. Tweezers, please. I will sterilize them in the bourbon. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Dave Wynn Date: 04 Dec 04 - 09:28 PM Oh...here it is......Kicks open the door. looks around.....orders half a pint of Guinness and jello with a Glenmorangie top. Licks his own balls (coz he can) and sticks his head as far as it will go up his own arse. Wonders what the F# is a Middle Bar Singer doing with a foot of Spruce stuck up the jacksie....nods to the room and kicks off Fields of Athenry in F#Maj. Dogs and Dolphins only please. All around the room............. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rapparee Date: 04 Dec 04 - 09:59 PM 11/16. Gotta play in 11/16. What the...G-flat???!!! Nobody plays in G-flat! What the hell's the fingering for G-flat? 2nd valve? Good Lord, I'll have to go look this one up. Glad I'm getting off the painkiller, 'cause now I can start to suck up the Talisker eventually. 11/16 and G-flat. What's the world coming to? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 05 Dec 04 - 03:27 AM Let's give the Xmas carols a rest boys & girls, what's on the juke box? Let me see... Ah, yes, that's better... Sound of Bessie Smith singing "At the Christmas Ball" wafts through the air and in the corner a ragged old man joins in on battered washboard and kazoo, a tin cup at his feet. RtS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 05 Dec 04 - 10:48 AM Well SRS, I was just bending over......... Thanks for the invitation, someone give me a hand.....NOT there Oak!! Oooh, this tree is awfully prickly. Ahhh that's better. Ok, where's that drink? And I could do with a bowl of warming soup. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Dec 04 - 11:31 AM Pining away in the parking lot, eh, Lynne? LTS has had some pretty gruesome adventures in the christmas tavern, maybe you two should have a couple of stiff drinks and compare notes. Anyway, now the tree is reduced to small logs and slim twigs to drop in the fire. It'll make the place smell great, also, but keep the fireplace doors closed or you'll have sparks popping out all over the place. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Dead Horse Date: 05 Dec 04 - 06:43 PM Is there a tv set in here? I want to see how the insects are coping with all them celebs foisted upon 'em in Aussieland. And could some kind soul lower the optics please? It is difficult judging where to lie beneath them when they are so high on the wall. I got some Snodrogs in my eye just now, and it smarts! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Amanda Plain and Tall Date: 05 Dec 04 - 06:50 PM My god, Lor, you're one for the tall tales. Someone pour me some scotch and tell me it's apple juice so I can drink it in front of my fellow Quakers.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: rumanci Date: 05 Dec 04 - 06:52 PM Sorry DH Latest regulations........optics must be set at the optimum height for the licensee to get a permanent crick and to suffer agonies of "will it - won't it" putting up those giant gold watch ringers........sigh......... and there's you thinking it was just the punters who suffer from miserable pub land(person?)itis - huh !!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: SINSULL Date: 05 Dec 04 - 07:48 PM Done tweezing Rapaire. Now, how about you Lynne? Any pine needles in need of extraction? No? OK, not a problem. Amanda - what are you doing in here? You're still logged on in the Chat Room and everyone thinks you're a snob.Too good for them... Time to hang some balls? I claim the blue ones, the rest of you are on your own. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Amanda Plain and Tall Date: 05 Dec 04 - 07:54 PM I was more popular when I wan't there than I've ever been in my life. I'm talking now - I signed in at 3 am in a bout of insomnia, then went to bed and didn't return to my computer until 5 and saw the carnage in Mudchat. :) Looks like I was good for some entertainment. You'll find me many things, (absent minded, most of all!) but never a snob,I hope! :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: SINSULL Date: 05 Dec 04 - 08:59 PM Amanda - I have met you. Went to dinner with you and InObu in NYC at an Ethiopean restaurant. Definitely not a snob. Now what are we going to do about the Little Drummer Boy? Into the Jell-o pit with him? SPHLOCCK!!!! Bar Rump Pum Pum Pum... DeadHorse, just the right amount of peppercorns up his battery should put an end to the noise. WAIT! Watch out for the guy cooling his scorched nuts in the Jell-O. Damn! Too late...sorry |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Amanda Plain and Tall Date: 05 Dec 04 - 09:07 PM Must have been another InObu friend! I haven't been eaten Ethiopean in NYC yet. Hmm. Should remedy that. But although I'm not that particular non-snob, I'm still a non-snob. ;) *peers at the jello-mess* As if I needed another reason to stay away from Jello Shots... |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: mg Date: 05 Dec 04 - 09:08 PM batteries are only there to fool people. There is another energy source that humankind hasn't really figured out yet. If you throw him far away, he will find his way back. If you try to blow him up, he will get very upset. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rustic Rebel Date: 05 Dec 04 - 09:41 PM Well belly on up next to me there My Guru, How's it going? I don't remember an incident but I don't remember yesterday either. Let me pour you a shot of this Traditional tequila, cut some plum up and talk about the forgiving nature of a drunken bassoon player. Oh I didn't tell you I was playing the bassoon this year? Yes indeed I am the Christmas bassoonist. I promise I will learn as fast as I can and play all of our favorite Christmas carols just for Dead Horse. If I can't quite learn the bassoon that fast, let's talk about the forgiving nature of a drunken tambourine player and I'll give up the bassoon to whoever wants to play. By the way, that was pretty cool the way that tree flew up and out and caught MBSLynne. That must have been a strange trip. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: InOBU Date: 05 Dec 04 - 09:45 PM Hi Sinsull: That was Genie, the wee wifee! BUT DO come to our next gig, at the Friends Meeting House on Jan 1, (by then the Mudcat Taven will be put away for a year...) and hear Amanda sing The New Brunswick Drummerboy... and Mailli Dhonn and other great things... here's some "apple juice" Amanda, just pull up a chair next to the monkey. Cheers and this isn't white wine, it's grape juice... eh hem... Lor |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rustic Rebel Date: 06 Dec 04 - 01:38 AM A ruggedly handsome man with square chin, long locks of golden yellow, straight nose, and a body that went well with his attire, a loin cloth with an adorned body of peacock feathers entered from the northern door. He was carrying a washboard, and two gallon jars. He yells out a howdy to everyone and set one of his jars of homegrown picked eggs in the middle of the bar and cracked it open for everyone. Then he moves back over toward Rustic, gives her a big hug and sets the second jar of pickled squid in front of her and says, I finally made it. That squid was one tough little slime bitch but I got her. Merry Christmas. Rustic (me) laugh gently and cracks open the jar. Digs right in with her fingers and gets the first lovely morsel and chuckles to herself, knowing exactly where this squid has been before. She eats another morsel, hand feeds Basil (the loined clothed manly man of the north) and offers some to My guru, then passes it down the bar. Rusic then pours Basil a tequila and they settle in and start to play, Basil on washboard Rusic on the bassoon-All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. I say to My guru, I hope I can leave this joint with my two front teeth, as I glance at Dead Horse. The night is early. |
