Welcome to... The Saloon

[Project Willow]

Here's a toast to the newerish board!

[AhabsOtherLeg]

Project Willow, I apologise that it took me two months to understand what this thread was actually about, and to see why Peregrine felt she had put her foot in her mouth earlier - when in fact it was me who had done so (with my own foot, and my own mouth).

Sorry 'bout that.

Happy New Year everybody, by the way.

heheh, I think that reference a few months back about me putting my foot in my mouth was 'cause I actually did. I said something a while back on the board that was rather crass about a CNN pundit & Annie paddled my bottom.

Annie is harsh but fair with the paddle. And not very harsh, come to think of it. And scrupulously fair.

So you musta deserved it, quite frankly! - but I never saw your transgression - and might not have understood it if I had. It wasn't so long back I had to ask folk here (I mean, in my own country) what CNN was... well, at least, I had to ask them what it stood for, and what the organisation represented.

CIA News Network was the usual reply - sheeple, eh?

And happy new year to you Ahab! It's morning where I am, but how 'bout a round of lattes with a splash of brandy in them?

What are these lattes of which you speak?

Can I not just take the brandy in my tea?

Seriously, though, it's not very long since I had to ask (in all seriousness) what Lattes were too. And panninis. Panninis! Who makes this stuff up?

I'm not particularly old, one way or the other, and I don't routinely read the Daily Mail - so how come I increasingly know bugger all of worth about anything?

Eh?

Ms. Willow, can I have a really big cup of tea with a half bottle of brandy in it? Thanks.

[Percival]

I comin in for a stiff one guys, there is some seriously crazy shit going on in that new hughes thread in GD and I need a fucking drink LOL

[AhabsOtherLeg]

Best to sit that one out, in my opinion. It's not really what you know, or even who you know... it's how long you've known it, and who you chose to follow in the earlier days.

Whisky is warming. I'll have a whisky. Pint please.

[DeltaDawn]

Quoting Ahabs: "Whiskey is warming. I'll have a whiskey. Pint please."

I'll second that motion!!

[Peregrine]

I want a big, fat, supersized grandiose Belini, please.

[Project Willow]

A pint of whiskey? Is that usual? I'm not a big hard liquor drinker, but you know what, I think I'll make my way to some dispensary or another this evening.

Or maybe I'll not wubba Brainpan (that is so cute.)

[barracuda]

Love the new avatar, barmaid. I'll have a wubba as well. Make it a double. That would be a double-wubba, or just a wubba wubba. Straight up. 'Cause I needs it.

[Perelandra]

I've got the next round.

[norton ash]

Where the hell am I? (Crawls out from under table.)

Wow, they painted the place...

I will have a bowl of gin and a jerry-can of tonic, s'il vous plait. Any messages?

Ahh, fired. Oh, she's changed the locks. Mmmpf.

More gin, please. (Plays "Little Wing" on jukebox.)

Seattle Grunge bartender, I think I may have a problem. Oh, sorry...

Hi, Llloyd. It's been awhile.

[Penguin]

I've got the next round.

Thanks.
A couple more beers needed..

[AhabsOtherLeg]

I owe yet another apology. Peregrine gave me latte with brandy in it, and I didn't even offer her a drink in return. Where's my manners? My pub etiquette is slipping. Sorry about that.

Willow, can I have another latte with brandy for Peregrine, please (even though it's about a week late), and a round for everyone else.

I'll have another pint of whisky. It's not really the done thing, I know, but desperate times call for really big measures.

[AhabsOtherLeg]

Hehe, that gave me a laugh Username. It's funny 'cos it's true.

And - yet another apology - I'm sorry if I was, or have ever been, an ass to you in the chat room Username. I'm often a bit of an ass, but the chat room really seems to bring it out, often for the reason shown in that there video you posted.

Yeah... it's folk music that does it.
