There is a fond remembrance of John from Kansas, Curmudgeon of their goodness, and even others for their text of villainy. Life is a Cabaret old chum. |

24 Dec 24 - 04:34 PM (#4214077) Subject: RE: BS: Twas the night before MudcatChristmas 24 From: Stilly River Sage Revisiting old Mudcat xmas taverns brings up an incredible array of barnyard fowl, bats, wombats, dogs, extinct charismatic sources of meat, squid, horses, muskets, various explosive devices, an incredible array of ales, beers, wines, and whiskeys (no mixed drinks that I noticed?) and jello. Tons of jello. The year was 2012 when gnu posted A figure enters, eyes to the floor, his wide brimmed felt hat adorned with ruff grouse feathers and pine needles and stained with conifer gums, his red checked woolen Humphrey jacket and black woolen Humphrey pants adorned with needles, gums and burrs. He breeches his over and under, removes the shells and pockets them, and snaps the breech shut with one hand in a fluid motion that is so precise it is barely audible. He gently stands the gun against the wall by the door and moves toward the bar. In a tired voice, he asks, "Keep, d'ye and yer patrons wish a feed of fried fresh Birch Pahhtridge?", reaches into the back pouch of his Humphrey jacket and produces a brace of cleaned large cocks still warm. He says, "I have no money but I have these and some may return the feast I offer with trade in whiskey." And MMario answered gnu - good thing you brought that brace of partridge...I was afraid the stew I was putting together wouldn't feed everyone....I only had half a mastadon and a small brontosaurus to put into it...the partridge will make sure no one goes hungry. And they go well with the dried pears in the stew. |
