Waving SRS through the door into the sparkling clean, newly renovated Tavern. I'll admit the interior is a bit old fashioned - but look at the TERRACE!!!!

That was so unclear you might think I was imbibing the stuff. I worked for the Forest Service in college. Other college students worked there. They were notoriously cheap when looking for a good drunk on the weekend, but even they were not interested in MD 20/20.

Bardenheimer's Port. Bottled in St. Louis, an EXCELLENT toilet un-clogger.

The case of Ripple my brother threw into the Potomac -- probably responsible for the decline of the oyster beds and crabbing grounds.

Licorice-flavored vodka -- a failed attempt to make Pernod at home. The entire world's supply rest in the now-filled vault of an old outhouse. If you dug it up it would probably taste better.

So sad, that we all have stories of such sorry excuses for alcohol. This is the Mudcat Tavern, so we need to banish such thoughts! A cheap drunk doesn't have to be despicable!

I'll buy (on Bert's card, of course!) each of you a nice bottle of a French table wine that I enjoy, called Le Vieille Ferme from the Rhone Valley. "The Old Farm." Now how much better can it get than that? It is particularly good with delicacies like the lamb gyros I buy at the corner gas station/fast food establishment for $2.59 (they were $1.99 for ages, but went up last month finally. It's still a $5 sandwich at a $2.59 price). Lucky me that the corner gas station is run by a Lebanese guy and he buys those big lamb-on-a-spit things to roast for his sandwiches. :)

Pamper yourselves. Get out the pretty stemware, even if the bottle only cost about $7.

Barkeep, the nice glasses, please!

New Year? Do we have a new year? Why? What was wrong with the old one? I liked it.

Darn it! Seems like every time I get used to having a year around someone has to go and bring in a new one. What do they do with the old ones anyway? Is it like when you get a new engine put in your truck and they send the old one to the rebuilders? It makes sense. Heck, I only had a handful of bad days in 2005. Why not just keep the good days, replace the bad days with new ones and trot the whole thing back out somewhere down the road, good as new and a whole lot cheaper than a brand new year?

GOOD wine? Are you trying to kill me?

BW, there's a junkyard of old years, sort of like an elephant's graveyard. I saw it once. Had all the old years in it: 1067, 8,157 BCE, 1968 (a lousy year by most standards, including mine), 1307, 2000, stuff like that. I was gonna borrow a few parts off of 1966, but the watchman caught me and I had to leg it like a horse. I got outa there just before he fired off a load of rock salt from his blunderbuss.

Rapaire, you can fool yourself with this wine--a couple of years ago they phased out corks and switched to screw caps. Pretend it's not a blend of Grenache 50%, Syrah 20%, Carignan 15% Cinsault 15%. Pretend it's fortified Welch's grape juice.

If you visit that junkyard again I'd like a nice helping of summer 1975. No, wait. It took too long to get over that summer. Maybe a nice mellow summer of 1994.

He'd probably just roast his nuts on the fire like the squirrel did. (by the way - you DID say Chipmunk, didn't you?).
Quack!

Hey, if I want service I'll get a priest!

I'm quite happy here, laying under the tap.... just a little bit more duct tape and I shall be satisfied!

Liz - I think you have got this Glue Sniffing thing a bit muddled. It isn't about how strong it sticks things, you know!
Quack!

I tried sniffing glue once. Plugged up my sinuses so bad I had to go to the doctor, who explained the difference between sniffing the fumes and sniffing the glue. Fortunately, it wasn't epoxy or superglue I sniffed.

You mean I'm supposed to sniff it, not drink it?

I tried sniffing coke one time, too. The bubbles made me sneeze.

New Year's is over! All you people pick up your belongings and go home! There is serious business to be discussed on this forum and you're taking up band width.

By the way, as was done last year, Martin Gibson is selling half price Christmas doodads outside the south door. Support the cause. Go out the north door.

Liz, if you cannot detach yourself from that tap in a timely manner, take it with you. We'll expect a replacement next year. And for those of you who missed the announcement, I have several tiny champagne like bottles of sickenly sweet malt beverages (some raspberry flavored). Take them on your way out of they go into next year's JELL-O pit.

Happy New Year, all!!!!!

Now go away.

Sinsull, we used that raspberry stuff in the little bottles to kill the grass in the driveway cracks. I hope you don't mind, but the grounds outside the Tavern will look great next time we visit.

Christmas isn't over until a) Candlemas (Feb 2nd), b) all the chocolates have been eaten (still got 4 bars and 3 half tins of various sorts left) and c) all the pine needles have been vacuumed up. As I'm still finding needles from a tree we had 3 years ago, it's always Christmas somewhere in my house!!

You get your hands OFF THAT TAP Woman... you'll get yours, don't you worry... revenge is a dish best served pink.

And just why is MG selling his doodads??

I don't know, Liz. He did it last year and now it's a tradition I guess.
I still have pine needles from decades ago. And chocolate left over from New Year's. I also have about ten bottles of malt beverage left. So...party on!!!!

Besides, it will soon be Mardi Gras... but before that there's Martin Luther King's Birthday, Chinese New Year, Waitangi Day, Australia Day, Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day......
