Let's have fun - Thursdays #201

[gini]

Trouble maker that I am - I am opening the bar!

Let's clean this place up - there are grass skirt leaves all over the place and dead flowers and a few very crumpled umbrellas from the drinks.

This week we are 'TASTING' What is it that you have never tasted before and would like to try?

Mario says he goes first - he wants a banana milkshake! Wouldn't you know?:D

[dukedogsmom]

I've always wanted to try a chocolate martini. Now doesn't that look divine?

Maybe I'll have a banana milkshake, too. Maybe we should get some good things like stuffed potato skins to go with the sweet things.

[Marigold2]

Whisky sour

Did someone say Chocolate Martini??? Here is Sara's Don making one when I was down there a year ago. I took one sip and could tell it was too much for me. I don't like sweet things anyway but given a different circumstance (if I hadn't had those slushies first :o ), I probably could have stomached it. ;)

Me?? I've always wanted to try a Zombie. Isn't that one of those drinks with many different types of rum?? One Zombie please to see me through the next couple of days.

Thanks for opening up the bar Gini. Gee, was that a year ago already??? Seems like yesterday.

[gini]

Wow! Leave the bar for a minute or two and the requests start pouring in.

Scramble, scramble, mix, shake, stir................

For DDM - a chocolate martini
For Marigold - a whisky sour
For Slick - One Zombie (watch out, you talk funny after having one of these)

Having a chocolate martini made by Don with Godiva chocolate liqueur -----
well, you just had to be there. It is a one way ticket to heaven.

[animal_rescue]

New in here and feel free to kick me out if I'm not doing this right. If possible I would love a non-alcoholic chocolate martini please.

You are more than welcome here..........but we do have one rule - you must tell one good, clean joke and then you are a full member entitled to all of the benefits of the bar (which are????:D )

But to welcome you - here is your non-alcoholic chocolate martini.............
It is Hershey's syrup with soda water and a splash of sweet and sour.

[animal_rescue]

Umm ok here goes!

Why did the ghost go to the movies by himself?

.....

Because he didn't have no body!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA :D

[gini]

Very good joke! You are now a lifetime member.

And Wombat, I would make it for you, but I don't know what a LOLOLOL is.:D

Aw look at Slick - curled up over there with Mario - and look, he is going through her purse!

[dukedogsmom]

And now Mario has her lipstick :eek: Mario, it's not nice to draw on people's faces like that.

[wombat2u2004]

Very good joke! You are now a lifetime member.

And Wombat, I would make it for you, but I don't know what a LOLOLOL is.:D

Aw look at Slick - curled up over there with Mario - and look, he is going through her purse!

A joke ??? Awwwww ok then.
An Aussie one.

A Texan was on holidays in Australia, siteseeing from a coach driving through the outback. In his usual loud voice he was commenting on the cattle and sheep that he saw.
"My Garrrrd...they ain't cattle....we got longhorns three times that size, and what ??? You caaaall them sheep ??? We got sheep six times that big."
Just then a kangaroo hopped by the coach, and looking in amazement the Texan said " Whaaaat on earth is thaaaat??"
An Aussie sitting next to him replied " That ??? Don't you know a mouse when you see it ??"

There....can I be a life member now ????
Wombat

[DrKym]

Wombat you already were!! ;)

I would like an Irish coffee to start the day off...............well Jasper is off today so I may not actually start the day. I may stay in jammies and veg with him all day!!! :p

[Ceph]

mmm, Irish Coffee...that sounds nice...never had one of those before...but I think I would have to go with hot wine :)....nothing better for the mornings.

[gini]

Wombat, excellent joke! Lifetime membership it is!!

An Irish coffee for the good Dr. (in jammies) and a hot wine for Ceph.

Now Ceph - did you tell your joke for your membership fee?

Oh, Oh, Slick does have lipstick markings all over her face doesn't she? Let me see if I can gently clean it off before she wakes up.

I am taking breakfast orders - who wants what?

[Ceph]

aw no...mmm...lemme see.....

this one's a little long, but it makes me laugh every time

*A Cat's Diary*

Day 183 of my captivity....My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomrrow I may eat another houseplant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded...must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and commented about what a good little kitty I was.

Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was because of my power of "allergies."

Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously an idiot. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time...

[DrKym]

Mmmmmmm Breakfast??? oooooh in my jammies?? Lets see, any chance of eggs? last week Mario stole mine :eek:

[Edwina's Secretary]

Is it too early in the morning for chocolate??? (what am I saying...I just had a dark chocolate coverd graham cracker for breakfast.... :rolleyes: )

One part Godiva chocolate liquor and one part vanilla vodka. Shake....Sprinkle with powdered cocoa....Serve chilled.....

[Blue_Frog]

Can I get some really expensive scotch? Its going to be one of those days (including tomorrow) -- too much work to finish off before goin 'way for 3 days next week. Sadly enough, no one to do my job for me while i'm gone :(

[RedHedd]

Too early for chocolate? Is there anywhere on the planet that THAT occurs? :confused: I don't care what time zone you're in, it's NEVER too early for chocolate! A Mocha Latte sounds perfect right now, with a side of French toast.

Something I've never tasted before? Hmmm, may I have an easier question? It's too early for one as difficult as that! :p

[wolflady]

Amen, Redhedd!! It's never too early for chocolate.

A hot chocolate with a splash (or two...or three) of peppermint schnappes would be nice. I'm excited about starting a new career on Monday, so the next round is on me! :D

[gini]

It's difficult being bartender............so many things to do.

Sara, thanks for bringing in the chocolate covered graham crackers - we just need to keep them away from Mario. So far he has licked the chocolate off of half of them.

Ceph - great story - and welcome to Thursdays.

Now back to breakfast - eggs? How do you like them?
French toast coming right up - fresh orange juice too..........

Karen, I know, will volunteer some of that great maple syrup. The REAL stuff.

Hmmm, now where is that r e a l l y expensive scotch? I think we hid it. I will keep looking. A mocha latte - gotcha - peppermint schnappes in hot chocolate - right here.

Phew! I have been running from one end of the bar to the other - I had no idea that Richard stocked this bar so well..................

MARIO - GET YOUR FINGERS OFF OF THAT FRENCH TOAST RIGHT NOW!!

[Ceph]

....French toast.....O.O (big watery puppy eyes and lots of lash fluttering)....please.....

I have a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue if anyone is interested....and some goood Swiss White Wine (fendent)

[CathyBogart]

Chocolate martini please, I'm wiped out!

[cyber-sibes]

I'll take a quick plate of french toast (preferably not the ones Mario licked), whatever else you've got cooking, plus something chocolate, and maybe an Irish coffee, too. Getting ready to go in for my last day at my part-time job, and it's been gray and pouring buckets of rain all day. :( I think we've only had about 6 hours of sunshine all week. Is spring really coming soon? I'll bring back some chocolate truffles from the mall on my way back after work...truffles are fun! Hey, Mario, give me back my umbrella!

[RedHedd]

Ooh! Chocolate Truffles! Is she back yet? Are there any left?

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm excited about starting a new career on Monday, so the next round is on me! :D
Oh oh! Tell all. Have I missed a thread somewhere?

You're doing a grand job there Gini. I've never had a chocolate martini before. I think I'll go for that!

[davidpizzica]

aw no...mmm...lemme see.....

Barkeep, I need an Irish coffee to keep me going!

[wolflady]

Oh oh! Tell all. Have I missed a thread somewhere?

You're doing a grand job there Gini. I've never had a chocolate martini before. I think I'll go for that!

*giggle*
Come to think of it, I don't think I did post a thread about this! :eek: Basically, I'm going back to my previous company. They wanted me back and even created a position just for me, which I thought was pretty cool. I won't be in marketing anymore, but will be working in support as a customer account manager. I get to keep our customers happy. :)

Yes Mario, perhaps you dressed up with a little hat and tassel with cymbals clashing would make the customers happy. They would at least get a laugh out of it! :p

[gini]

Taking a quick break from work..........gotta hurry..........

Let's see.........

Chocolate French Toast

Irish Martini

Truffles? Heck, I will just pour some good vodka on them - who will know?

What's this Johnny Walker Blue? (takes swig) hmmm.............

Quick swipe at the counters - throws stuff on the floor.............

(takes another swig)

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's back to work I go..........la da dee day, la da dee day........
swigging all the way!:D

[RedHedd]

Truffles? Heck, I will just pour some good vodka on them - who will know?
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's back to work I go..........la da dee day, la da dee day........
swigging all the way!:D Ooh! Vodka'd truffles! Now THAT would work! <snarfs up half a dozen> :cool:

[slick]

One big giant lemon drop for me please. I'm as busy as you are Gini, but finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow's Friday so I'm starting to get geared up for the weekend already. I'm going to sleep in...wearing my comfy nighty......might get dressed about noonish....maybe. :p :cool:

Watch that drinking Gini. That's quite a commute you've got. I wouldn't want you to hang a left by the plant pot instead of a right.... :D

Edit: forgot to say that when I was driving to work this morning, the sun was shining and it was snowing at the same time. Try and figure that one out. :rolleyes:

[cyber-sibes]

Finally....back from my last shift at work! I'm done, after 3 1/2 yrs. working at the ladies clothing store. Hope I don't go through wardrobe withdrawal! :eek:

Here's some Vodka truffles for Gini & Redhead....and here's a whole big selection, help yourselves! I think I'll have a hazelnut truffle & make some coffee to go with. Did I miss anything?

[cassiesmom]

Is Mario still behind the bar? Mario, can I just have a really strong coffee, please. I've got quite the headache and I hope the caffeine will help!

Wait, where is Richard?

[Ceph]

Anything large, strong that will give me energy boost and a bit of a brain fuzz......my closet is finally clean...now to figure out what to do with all the stuff that came out of it.... :confused:

[DrKym]

HEHE still in my jammies! and getting ready to watch Saw3.
Mario why are wandering around with chocolate all over your face :eek:

Jas and I will bot h take a Whiskey neat. Thanks.

Oh I brought some chocolate popcorn and also a huge bag of caramels............... :p

[gini]

I have no idea where Richard is - but he sure is slacking off and not doing his job. This bartending makes a woman weary!

Still in your jammies? Sounds good to me - well, I am finally back into my jammies - and just about ready to end the long day. Two whiskeys neat for you.

I hope you don't mind if I have a few vodka truffles before bed - the hazelnut
sound so good. I like Frangelico a lot.

Oh oh, caramels -well teeth - are you up to that?

Good night everyone - see you in the morning - let's hope it is a great day for everyone.

Cyber - hope that you forget about the "latest style" and opt for good comfortable slacks and a warm sweatshirt. Enjoy the end of your job!

Sometimes I think all of this working is going to kill me.

[dukedogsmom]

Is it too early in the morning for chocolate??? (what am I saying...I just had a dark chocolate coverd graham cracker for breakfast.... :rolleyes: )

One part Godiva chocolate liquor and one part vanilla vodka. Shake....Sprinkle with powdered cocoa....Serve chilled.....
Never ever too early for chocolate! Wish I had some now. Since I'm here so early, I'll get some coffee started. Guess I'll be drinking it by myself while everyone sleeps.

[davidpizzica]

DDM, no, not everyone is sleeping! I wa up a little last night dreaming about my new car. I'll share the coffee duties with you and motivate Orc to get firewood. MARIO! did you kill the batteries in Orc's remote again?!

[trayi52]

True, true, David, not everyone is sleeping. I'm awake. I'll take some of that coffee. Sounds good.

How is everyone this morning? Hopefully, everyone is doing great today, please say you are doing good and mean it.

Willie :)

[gini]

It is absolutely beautiful here today - a little nippy but crisp clear air.

I'll make more coffee and then I'd like to sit by the fire for a bit before I head off to work.

No one can tend the bar like Richard can - I just made a big mess!

Moff, bring your chili over here - you went to the "other" bar?:eek:

[RedHedd]

Slick, snowing and sun at the same time? My mother had a saying when it was raining and the sun was shining that it was a Monkey's birthday, and whenever I experience that phenomenon, I smile and remember mom. However snow and sun .... hm. Mario? What do you know about that? :cool:

Just a cuppa that espresso for me right now - work is busy <shh! don't tell the boss that I'm hangin' out at Thursday's :D >

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Moff, bring your chili over here - you went to the "other" bar?:eek:
I looked for you all and didn't see you so ended up at Mario's place again!!!

Mario, we really need to make your place look different than this one. I get confused so easily these days!!!

Guess what Gini? I bought some PEePS at the store today!!! I'll share. They are pink!!! Peep peep peep
(oh, I got some Cadbury eggs too) :D

[Dorothy39]

[QUOTE=gini]It is absolutely beautiful here today - a little nippy but crisp clear air.

Hey Gini~~~

You're doing a Great Job as Bartender ( Yes, Hello Mario, I know, I know, I haven't been in here lately)

Pink Peeps??

Cadsbury Eggs? ( I hope you brought along plenty to spare)

Irish Coffee in front of a lighted fire?

Yeah, I'd say I'm HOME Auntie Em :D

[cyber-sibes]

Slick, snowing and sun at the same time? My mother had a saying when it was raining and the sun was shining that it was a Monkey's birthday...Really? My mom always said it meant the Devil was getting married! :eek: LOL! I'll join you with an expresso if you don't tell my boss I'm hanging out here - OH! Wait a minute-- I'm my own boss now! Oh well... :rolleyes: Please don't tell me you saw me here!
Mario, please pass the pink peeps (try saying that 10 times fast!)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yes, Dorothy39, I brought plenty of peeps and eggs to share. Are you kidding? With Mario around? I know better than not to share!!! :D

Mario you look cute with a super pink tongue!!! Those pink peeps make your teeth pink too!!! You do look a sight!!! :D
Please stop grinning!!!!!!!! I can't take it!!!! heeheeheeheeheehee :D

[RedHedd]

Oh! Cadbury Eggs! Years ago, they came out with the clucking bunny (remember those ads?) and I still have mine - yup, a fluffy white EASTER Bunny that clucks like a chicken when you press its paw. I brought it to work last year and NOBODY knew what I was talking about - the clucking bunny! I guess I'm just getting old!

Please pass the pink PEEPS and a freshly clucked Cadbury egg! :D

[RedHedd]

:D Thanks Phred! It's SO good to see that bunny again.

[Killearn Kitties]

Aww, what a sweet bunny! :D Hold the creme eggs though. I've never felt the same about them since I saw someone eat 20 in a row for charity.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

(slips in quietly - steals all of the peeps - leaves by back door)
HMMMM!!! Seems we have a case of perloined peeps!!!

Could this be a case for Sherlock Mario? :D

[gini]

HMMMM!!! Seems we have a case of perloined peeps!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hey, Mario! Look at these pink and lavender footprints!!! Looks like someone stepped on a couple of the peeps on the way out!!! :eek: :D

[RedHedd]

Mario, I am innocent! The Duck did it :p
