Good morning, everyone. I guess I can get the bar cranked open. Orc's remote was , I'm sorry to say, beyond my ability to repair (after taking alot of hotdog meat out of it!) so I found an Orc remote that was water AND Orc proof!!

Hope it didn't cost too much, they're a bear to find.Quote:

Here I am all, returning from my weekly drunken binge. Now keep the noise down, I've got a hangover.
David, would you shut that bloody orc up in a cage or something ??? He's ruining the place, and carving names into my new shiny bar top.
Thanks LH for looking after the bar during my drunken absence....WHAT ??? The till is empty !!!! No wonder everyone is here. :p
Ok, taking orders now......
Hey Wom, now if your gonna take an extended leave from your bar duties, you better warn your replacement - LH - 24 hours is asking a lot of anyone to hang around this bar - especially with the ORC running amok!
David, thanks for taking care of the remote - there is nothing in the till because we had to take all of it to pay you back for the cost and your time!
So - everyone pay up on your tabs...............
Gee whiz I sound pretty bossy this Saturday - I'd better shut up and get a few things done - like clean up and make some food.
How about some chicken and dumplings?..................
Gini, I think a session in the L & F will cool Orc down for a while and help ease Wom's hangover. I also took away his knife collection!
Somehow the thought of the Orc with a knife collection made me burst out loud in laughter.
David congratulations - I think you get the creativity for Thursdays contest award.
Drinks for everyone - I'll pay - in David's honor!!!
I'm sorry David, you are going to have to return those knives. The rules of the bar say "Every Orc has the right to bear knives for the purpose of carving names into bar tops and bar stools."Quote:

Ok everyone, line up for Gini's chicken and dumplings.
Wom, maybe I'll let him have a semi-dull penknife to make him feel better, but in NO WAY no quarters in the swear jar!! Now I can use a cup of coffee with Bailey's.Quote:

Geez, the bar is a bit quiet tonight, where is everyone ??? Where is my hired help ??? Where is Gini's Chicken and Dumplings ??? Where is the orc ???
What is that slurping sound coming from under the bar ???
I must investigate.
Oh I must have fallen asleep at the bar last night. And David, it was a bad thing for you to give the Orc a penknife. The Orc is mad at me and just look at what he did to my hair while I was sleeping. One side is
now shorter than the other - see all of my hair on the floor?
The chicken is cooking in its broth right now and I am preparing the dumplings to go on top.............won't be long now.
Gini......define "won't be long"......
I'm gettin a touch hungry here, and the 24 hour shift didn't help.
Wom, it's never been a good thing to investigate odd noises around here.....gets dangerous.
Has anyone seen him since he went lookin?
I think that slurping noise coming from under the bar was just an echo of Wom chug-a-lugging too much sudds. I'll bet he's still under there and passed out by now,,,,:eek:
You look. I'm Cheeeeken.
:eek:
Speaking of chicken...................Gini, is lunch served yet?:p
A drunken Wombat and maybe an Orc too??? Darned if I'm poking my head under there. :p
"Won't be long..............." means chicken and dumplings are ready right now - piping hot - grab a plate and help yourselves.
There is some homemade apple sauce and asparagus spears if you want.
Look - whoever is burping - could you knock it off? It sounds so gross.
Wom - is that you?
THanks!
I think I'll have an Irish Coffee with that. Anyone else want something from the bar while I'm up?
Yum, I'll take some chicken and dumplings. Just a nice hot cup of tea for me, barkeep!
I'm starving! Chicken and dumplings with a glass of Chardonnay, please! :)
David, I'm not sure the new remote is working too well. The Orc has run amok again. The "dull" penknife slashed all the curtains. :rolleyes:
Chicken and dumplings sound great to me along with a cherry rootbeer.
Orc are you throwing spit balls? One just whizzed past my nose!!! :eek:
No Gini, it's not me.Quote:

LH....there ya go, a bowl of Chicken Surprise with Dumplings. Enjoy.
Karen.....same for you my dear.....with a hot cup of tea (I hope the tea is ok, orc has been playing with the tea leaves)
LH.....Seconds ??? Ok, I'll give you a top up.
Maggie.........here's your bowl of chop chop, and a glass of chardonnay.
No no Maggie.....chop chop means FOOD. You eat it with a spoon, not chopsticks.
LH....Thirds ???? You are a hungry boy.
MOFF...... Your bowl of Chicken Surprise (sorry, no dumplings left), and a cherry rootbeer....enjoy.
LH......MORE ??? Ya gotta be kiddin me !!!!!
GINI !!!!! We're running out....more food !!! Hurry up, LH is chasing the orc around with a bottle of ketchup in his hand.
Hey, I didn't realize it was Orc......he's such a messy eater I thought he was a mobile buffet!
Yes, he gives that impression whilst skating across the bar top on a dinner plate. :pQuote:

ORC?! You bad boy. There goes your 'dull knife" privilges for a year! Wom, is your hangover any better? I heard some snoring coming from under the bar.
Yes David, my hangover is gone. But sadly, my snore has not gone.Quote:

Wom, I think that would be wise to apologize to Orc no matter what type of being he (or she or it or. . . .)would be.Quote:

I leave and this is what happens - you guys - all three of you men couldn't keep an eye on the ORC and stop him?
And why are you all standing down at the end of the bar together and just grinning at me - David? Wom? LH? ORC??
:D
Ain't tellin!
The sight of Orc grinning makes me want to run screaming into the night!!! :love:
Me either :DQuote:

Dear Orc,
Words cannot begin to express how sorry I am that your feelings were severely damaged by my woefully under appreciated prank.
How could I have known that the priceless collection of Rolling Rock beer cans that you have collected over the years would be discarded because everyone blamed you for snoring.
You must understand that it was all meant in fun. The subsequent carnage that you caused is beyond my ability to comprehend, and even tho it was because of my dishonesty, the ripped curtains....the broken crockery....the golf balls in the Chicken Surprise, they are all of your doing.
And I must therefore humbly ask your forgiveness. I know that you are perfectly within your rights to gouge out my eyes with spoons and feed them to the fish in your koi pond, but I ask you to remember all the good times we've had, joshing around at the municipal jail, and to remember that I am first and foremost your only possible match should you ever need a bone marrow transplant.
Sincerely,
Wombat
Oh, good, the bar is still open. Could I have ginger ale, please? I've got a serious headache.
Such a hearwarming apology, Wom!!
I'll take a diet ginger myself, please, with vodka in it. Thanks, barkeep! Pinot and LOK would like some nip tea if the Orc didn't dip into it! ;)
Hi guys,
Thought I would join in. I have some ginger lemincello tea if any one would like some.
That was a very nice apology Wom, I didn't know Orc had a match for bone marrow transplant.
Little Orange Kitty you've grown so big since the last time I was here. At least you don't ambush Lady when she comes in from outside.
LOH......yes, it has been perfectly matched with a very small bone of mine. It's in one of my toes I think. :DQuote:

And you can tell LH that a box of drink umbrellas and plastic seahorses arrived today, so he can drink in style.
Elyse.....a ginger ale for you. And would you like a Mcheadache pill ??
I just picked some up down at Ronny McDonny's.
Maggie.....one diet ginger with vodka coming up. Sorry, no ice, Orc has been making an igloo in the corner with it again.
Pinot and LOK......nip tea ??? No probs. There you go, two nip teas. Enjoy.
