18 Dec 00 - 09:36 PM (#359515) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: Troll Glad you mentioned whiskey Larry,'cause thats what conservatives drink. Good Bourbon or Single Malt Scotch. Unlike liberals who sip white wine or some fru-fru mixed drink that's half fruit juice and has a little parasol in it. Bourbon and Branck Water or Scotch on the rocks. That's the stuff! Welcome aboard McGrath! troll ROTFLMAO! |

18 Dec 00 - 09:41 PM (#359522) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: InOBU Ah Troll! Another thing we have in common. Back when I had a liver, I could think of no better time spent, than in the company of a good whiskey (see the movie tight little island for my attitude about that which made life sweet). I (by the by) agree, Liberals do not committ to the important things in life, which is why they get in the way of revolutions. We reds drink with the same degree of conviction we live, and the same degree of conviction we recieve from judges who, employing poor grammer, as the Wobbly said, after the palmer raids... "the judge spoke poorly, he employed sentences that were over long!" Ah yes, give me Whiskey and a new liver, and I will be happy again, no matter who is president, priminister or God! For Christmass, have a whiskey and describe it to me, ol pal, Larry |

18 Dec 00 - 10:04 PM (#359540) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: Troll Larry, I've been dry for 19 years, 4 months and 22 days and I haven't had one today. However, a good cup of coffee seems to work pretty well these days, so I'll have one on you and you can reciprocate with whatever your libation is on me. The truly funny thing is that my wife is politicaly-shall we say-pink? Yes, I think we shall. Our one inflexible rule is that we NEVER discuss politics. Her whole family is that way. Makes for interesting times when we visit some of her cousins. I just nod my head and smile. Her grandfather was a friend of Trotskys; went to University with him. As I said, interesting times. troll |

19 Dec 00 - 08:46 AM (#359719) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: InOBU Beer is the day to day workers friend. Champain, once or twice a year, but in emergency, Whiskey is the thing. As Turlogh O'Carolin said, it gives wisdom to the stupid, words to the dumb, sight to the blind... and it is made in our magical Celtic glens hills and bathrooms. In sufficent quantity, it can make a red out of our Troll. This is why I leave a bottle under every old stone bridge, hoping that I might find our Troll's bridge, and soften him up a wee bit.

Mary, that Tennessee stuff isn't bourbon, it's sippin' whiskey, so that makes a difference. Hint: to bring out the sweetness in Jack Daniels, the less oxygen that touches the liquid the better, and water is a contamination. Sake, however blends surprisingly well with it; I call it a Jack Daniel-sama. This was discovered at a very interesting wedding reception, and yes, it was a surprise to me, too. |

19 Dec 00 - 03:41 PM (#359980) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: InOBU Hey Troll! Living in a cave - craving honey... sure you are a troll and not a bear? Go over to a mirror and let us know, Troll... grean tint to the skin, leathery wrinkled shin, big nose, high balding forehead, stooping posture, scraggly beard, often wearing sagging leaderhosen... Bear, all covered with hair, brown, white or black, sometimes tinged with grey... round ears, large teath, oft inclined to look puzzeled... Let us know the results. Larry |

19 Dec 00 - 05:08 PM (#360025) Subject: RE: Help: EMERGENCY IN HARLOW From: Troll Larry, plastic surgery can do wonders but the beard is still scraggly and I wear shorts almost all the time. Foundation takes care of the greenish tinge and a good moisturizer is essential for keeping the skin supple. The military took care of the posture. The reasonfor stareing at the honey was, of course, that mead is made from honey. Oh that I could once again sup a horn of mead. But those days, alas, are gone forever for I have reformed and nought stronger than good coffee may now pass the lips that once did down great foaming tankards of ale and flagons of wine, whisky and rum by the cask and sherry-ah, sherry....I'm going back to my cave now. troll |

I once returned a book to the Harlow public library. It was my first (and only) visit to the library and I must of been thinking of something else at the time, for having had the book stamped. I then picked it up again. As I went to leave, I must have walked through a sensor, for a siren wailed, lights flashed as if I had been caught in the act of robbing Fort Knox. It did have a library however and a well-stocked one. Despite my efforts to un-stock it. |
