good nite, y'all see ya tomorrow!!:eek:
Just my luck. I make it back to the bar when everyone's gone. I've missed all the good food - not that the brownies weren't good, but woman cannot live by chocolate alone. (OMG I didn't say that, did I?) :(
Have a good day tomorrow. I'll be in class all day, so I won't check in until tomorrow night.
I was just thinking the same thing! Drat, I missed out on those yummy bacon and cheese samiches with carmelized onions - sounds yummy!!! And chili cheese fries - more yummy!!!Quote:

Slick, how funny! What happen to this place, where did everybody go??
I think I ran them off. They all decided to go home after I came in. Ump! Well I think I'll just drink the Pina Colada I brought with me.
Tray :D
Thank God someone found me! Now who is the wise guy that rolled the potted poinsettia into the Lost and Found?
I was minding my own business and kinda slumbering under the influence of a poinsettia drink. I wake up and here I am - in the dark corner of the Lost and Found. And I have green tea towels all over me - who did that? Hmm, funny place to put those towels - a matching set huh?
And Catland that funny smell coming from the Lost and Found IS NOT ME!!
Look you guys, I am NOT drinking something called a BM! Can't you just hear people say "did you have a BM today?"
Ohh, and the eggs benedict with crab meat is all gone? Boy does that sound good about now. I am really hungry.
Slick, Slick, where are you? Do you have enough fixings left to make me one of your sandwiches? Those sound really good too.
To drink - gosh, Richard, you make the best drinks. Remember your slushie from July? Could you make one of those? It is perfect because after you have one - you can still say SLUSHIE
and it sounds so normal.
when you go off and do volunteer work for two days straight - it makes you feel good - but it isn't nearly as much fun as spending time at Thursdays - trust me!
GINI!!! You're back......we were getting worried. I checked in the L & F earlier and no one was in there except some weird smelling pair of underwear...you must have been really hiding well under the old stuff.....EEEEWWWWWW
Glad to see you are in one piece and yes of course we missed you. Now as for food, there is lots of Canuck bacon left over so when you say the word I'll make you a sammie.
**yawn** it's getting late so I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Richard gets here tomorrow for one of his slushies. I've not been entrusted with the recipe. Thanks for checking in.
luv
Gini & Slick were up so late they may be sleeping in this morning but I'm up & about and can open the bar (haven't lost my keys yet). I happen to LIKE a bloody made with clamato and my special also has horseradish & a toss of worstershire. You can keep the nasty olive & PICKLED OKRA??? ewwww. Yes Gini, crab meat is done (boy, picking enough crabs for this crowd did a number on my hands, that Old Bay seasoning STINGS). Ms Meow, how about if you & I throw some shrimp on the barbie? Still some embers in the fire place... I'll go bring some wood in.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz ................................
*hears noise, lifts forehead off keyboard*
huh?
whuh?
OH crap!
Why didn't anyone wake me when I fell asleep? Now, I have 53 hours to complete this term paper and drool all over my new laptop. Ack!
And, um... Gini? Why are you wearing only tea towels and high heels? Laurie & Slick? Matching boas? I never knew you guys were of the reptile persuasion!
Why are you guys laughing and pointing at me???
Ok, Ok... I guess the turkey can sleep in the christmas tree but really! Do both the puppy AND Richard have to use it as a "fire hydrant?"
And lastly, why do I not find any of this odd? :D
sleep is sooo goooodddd....
*tucks laptop under one arm, slips underneath pool table and lays down, completely oblivious to the sharpie artwork adorning her face*
.......zzzzz......
Use what as a fire hydrant? The turkey or the tree :eek: Gee Zip, I think the boas are quite chic, besides - they keep the mice away :rolleyes:
This reminds me of the Surreal Gourmet. He fixed some shrimp on the barbie once and had a plate full of BBQ shrimp and a Barbie Doll sitting in the middle with a bowl on her lap containing the dipping sauce. :DQuote:

Sleep in??? Not me. I'm ready for an "eye-opener". Bring it on. Someone wake up Zippy again and everybody dance.....
**dances around with boa then falls down**
Eye openers? Well, we can either go with mimosas or some coffee drinks. Nothing like caffeine and alchohol to really confuse your system.;)
GINI - I was wondering if that was you snoring back in L&F but Slick said what I was on a need to know basis and that I didn't need to know.
SLICK - love those signs - too funny. There's a restaurant near here that has a "no smoking" sign, in braille, on the wall near the front door. I don't exactly know how a blind person would discover it unless they just wanted to lean up against the wall.
For some reason you guys have reminded me of a true story that happened to me so many years ago, I shudder to think how long.
A friend's family owned a bar and one of their hostesses became ill and they were seriously short handed - and on a Saturday night. They asked me to help them.
I was afraid I would drop all of the drinks but they promised me they would show me how to serve the drinks.
At the time I was wearing those little spit curls - do any of you remember - you curled them and at night you taped them to your face so they wouldn't get messed up?
This guy was sitting right at the serving station. He took a shine to me and kept touching my spit curl. (Richard, just leave it alone.)
He started writing me little tiny love notes on his cocktail napkin, folding them up and handing them to me. It was too funny.
He had had several drinks and was very happy.
A week or so later I went out to buy shoes - guess who the salesman was - wearing his wedding ring? We both acted as though we had never seen each other in our life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snoring? I was snoring! Great, now everyone knows!
Golly you guys are really warming up the bar early theses days . I'll take a hot cocoa , Spent all day yesterday making cookies with my daughter 100 dz. 50 for each house hold to give as gifts. No more brownies for me I made to many regular ones yesterday. a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese sounds great. I'm rather proud of my self blood sugar in down I only had ONE cookie during the whole nightmare.
Gini, I woudn't go near the ll& F in this place I've heard noises come from there!
Glad your back Richard,, Maybe put a little peppermint swnapps in that cocoa .
:eek: :eek: :eek: That's one thousand two hundred cookies!!!!Quote:

Slick, why are you falling down already? Great signs. :D
Shrimp on the barbie - yuuuummy! I'll take some of those - need some help?
Gini, glad to see you made it out of the L & F. Great story. My cousin and I used to make those curls when we spent the week at my Grandma's house. We'd make them and they'd start drooping so we'd redo them, add some Dippity Do and they'd stay for a little longer and we'd have to redo again and add more Dippity Do. I think in the week we were there we went through my Grandma's entire jar of Dippity Do. :D
Zippy, don't you hate it when you drool on your new laptop? I think they should provide warranty coverage for such things. :D
Oh, I'll have one of those Bloody Marys Richard - not a BM mind you, a Bloody Mary. :D And I'll have you know that Thursdays are now messing with my week. I woke up thinking it was Friday today because the bar opened a day early. :rolleyes:
Corinna: here's your breakfast. Sorry, I don't do drinks.
Gini: LOL that was too funny. Are you here to stay today???Snoring??? I'll never tell.
Zippy: wake up. You're drooling all over your laptop. EEWWWWW!!!:eek: Just make sure the keys stay on.....
Catland: since you are the BT backup, why don't you make some Spanish Coffees to start off the day. Zippy could use one.
And why was I dancing all alone early this morning??? And why are there snakes in the grass??
For answers to these questions and more, stay tuned for more of
"The Vanishing Barstool"
Robin and T&P- sorry about that.....
Dippity Do!!!!
lolololololol
T&P....one Bloody Mary....
DONE!
Slushies for Slick and Gini!
DONE!
Gini, green tea towels.....should I order some that match your eyes?
About that 'spit curl'...
Can I ask you a personal question????
Did you buy shoes that day?
BM for Laurie!!
DONE!
Zip,
IT WASN'T ME that piddled the tree.....ask the turkey!
You must have been tired....that Gene Simmons-Sharpie makeup is a thing of
art but........I didn't do it!:eek:
Corrine, Hot cocoa and schnapps of the peppermint variety.
Peppermint schnapps is my personal Kryptonite!!:(
Sorry guys - as much as I would love to just hang out in the L & F, I can't today.
This volunteer thing has turned into a volunteer nightmare. I would tell you what I am doing, but it would just bore you to tears. I'll just say that I was head of a fundraiser - the goods were delivered - and there are shortages - and the whole thing is driving me nuts! I know it will get better, but I am not having very much fun right now.
I will be able to check in with you later though...........have fun - save me something to eat!
Ever notice that the food goes fast, but we always have the fixins for drinks? That Richard - keeps a well stocked bar no?
Yes I know how many cookies it is. Most were 2" gingerbread men . Clarissa cut out while did the drop and bar cookies.
Thanks for breakfast ,I'll wait for the drink. I guess i can tell you guys we had a little too much fun we ended up making a couple special ginger cookies a half doz. we anatomically correct men and women. these are for our guys. They both thought we must have found a bottle of something in the kitche as it is a bit out of our norm. It was just us being tired and silly I guess!
Corrina, did you bring some of those cookies? They sound yummy!
Mahayana made fudge last night so I brought some fudge. He makes the best fudge you ever put in your mouth!
Richard, could you make a Spanish coffee for me, They are very good!
Ginni, that was a funny story. I worked as a waitress at a truckstop for about three weeks. The truckers were actually very nice people. I had always heard different.
Catland, You got here early!
Zippycat, My frog Sipoweitz, likes your laptop. He was looking for a puddle.;)
Hey where is everybody else?
Sure i brought cookies not the specials though sorry richard the ones clarissa made looked a bit like dolly parton. I have to go deliver them now .It's only 18 degrees out I'll need more cocoa when i get back.
You guys might be able to help, Clarissa and I worked at a salsa and hot sauce shop we had a chili fudge it was choc with a warm kick. I'm looking for a recipe as the distributor went out of business . Anyone got such a recipe? I'll check back later tothis afternoon. Please all of you stay out of the L&F I have heard weird noises coming from there. !!!!!!
Hey Ann, say Mahayana made fudge again, great I want one too, your always bragging about what good fudge he makes, so let me try one of those.
Maybe you should send me some of that fudge for Christmas, consider it a care package, LOL.:p
Tray
Sorry I haven't been much help here today. Thursdays at work are Print Order day. My job on Thursdays is to put the report together to send to the printers showing the breakdown of pages, numbers, ads etc for our weekly journal Science. You remember Science, we're the journal that printed the story & reports on the Colymbosathon fossil (that's Greek for "amazing swimmer with a large penis"). Anyway, there were some computer problems and today has been rough. Speaking of large.... oh nevermind. Print order is finally done so BOY, do I need a drinky poo. Something clear in a martini glass with a candy cane twizzle stick would be excellent. Did someone get those shrimp in time? I don't smell anything burning so someone must have. Let me sit for a minute and I'll get back to work.
Hey willie here is some of that fudge, It goes good with the Spanish coffee!
Ibaker, large what? :)
And yet once again, work has been interferring with my social life. God, I can hardly wait for retirement. 14 yrs to go. (EWWWW that makes me sound old.....)
Ok, I've got a few minutes so what will it be from the kitchen folks?? We've got come shrimp coming up shortly (short shrimp????:D :D I crack me up....), lots of nachos with or without the works, burgers, fries, grilled cheese, whatever you want, I got it. And please help yourself to the candy canes at the bar.
And for me, I'll have another Spanish Coffee and this time, you have my permission to "tip" the bottle a little more if you like.
That fudge and those cookies look really good, although I don't eat sweets. Fill up guys. It's Thursday, I'm rockin' and there's only 13 more shopping days until Christmas.
HO! HO! HO!
amoore: I wouldn't be asking Laurie questions like that unless you are prepared for the answer.....
I'll take care of your Spanish Coffee Slick - since I tend to make the drinks a bit stronger (does wonders for my tip jar).
mmmm - lunch smells good. Shrimp on the Barbie - great sight gag:D
lb - one candy cane twizzle martini special - done.
amoore - I'm not one for chocolate in the morning but I'll make an exception for that fudge.
Corinna - love the cookies - even if they aren't the "specials". The puppy likes them too.
Now that Gini is gone for the day I've called in the Haz-mat team to see just what the heck is in l&f.
Hi tray - glad you're here - sorry everyone left last night before you arrived.
Okay Ann, I will try the Spanish coffee with the fudge, yum!
Thanks! Great!
Tray
I never did leave, I was just sitting over here in the corner and everybody thought I was the coat rack and thats why I have all these coats hanging on me. :confused:
Tray;)
OOOps, sorry Tray but when people are coming in I just point to the coat rack that's sitting beside you and I guess people get the wrong idea. I'll just move it to the front door.
OK everyone, there are platters of Barbie Shrimp at the bar. Help yourself and there are 3 kinds of dipping sauce.
Catland, once again you have surpassed the making of a Spanish Coffee. This is purrrrfect.....gee I wonder what my cats do when I'm here at the bar....
Corinna: Chili Fudge??? Sounds like something even I'd like to try. Maybe I'll search the Net for the recipe.

See,
Never stop in the middle of the 'hokey-pokey' to figure out the next step.....for some reason we don't have this problem in the summer??
Tray and Slick,
Spanish coffee time two..
DONE!
A bit late, but Barbie is in da house!Quote:

I was trying to read fast since my boss is on his way in (so much for my fun for the day :( ) and at first glance I could have swore you were asking for SPINACH coffee!!! :eek: I thought to myself Eeewww, what in the world is spinach coffee?!!? Then I went back and re-read and saw you really meant Spanish coffee...aaaahhh...makes so much more sense now. ;) :DQuote:

I'll have some of those shrimp, and fudge sounds yummy! I don't think this place is a good place to be on a diet.... but what da hey! That's what Thursdays are for! Bring on the shrimp, the burgers, the fudge, some of those 1,200 cookies!!! I'm starving!!!
I think I'll have just a plain ol' beer, Richard. I've always like beer with my shrimp. How 'bout a New Glarus Naked Beer - some of the smoothest best beer I've ever had. :D
OMG:eek: You have to get naked to drink beer now??? If that's the case, don't go throwing your clothes in the L & F. You've never get them back again and if you do they'll never smell the same!!:eek: :eek:Quote:

I went out with a shimp once.....after a few beer he turned into a real crab......
**slaps face** My God, what's gotten into me today????
Let me get this straight. The beer is getting naked. The turkey's in the tree. Barbie's in the kitchen. And large penis' are amazing swimmers. Gigi's wearing tea towels and high heels. Tray thinks he's a coat rack. Slick & I dance with boa's. The Zipster is drooling on her computer and someone's frog enjoys it. Where is Richard while all this is going on :eek:
Ah.........don't you mean Gini???? Or have we renamed her?? :D :DQuote:

Of course I meant Gini. It's just when Richard starts with his Maurice Chevalier accent I get all flustered :o
