Get away Thursday-#221

[lbaker]

Root Beer Floats! Boy did I walk in at the right time. Capt, rum and coke possibly but a Coke Float?? *yech* hmmm, Root Beer Floats and let's see... China eh? How about Won Tons? Or if we are going to feed everyone here maybe Two Tons? Or three?? (sorry)

[Pam]

IS THIS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT?

I have gone blank - how did I get this picture to show up? Help!

Gini, now I feel deprived. I have never heard of Dad's root beer, much less tasted it. *sigh* In my neck of the woods root beer was either Hires or the store brand. Phred, is Dad's still available?

[gini]

Thanks, Pam..........I kept putting [img]and [/img] around it but it won't work.

I have this sign in my kitchen...........I've had it for years.

Now it is off to China.................wonder if they have Dad's over there.

[Randi]

Ooohhh, I'll have one of those, if not for the taste (are they any good?), then for the pretty bottle - they don't make these anymore, do they? Probably a collectors item now.

Have you ever had a Waggle Dance, or Westmalle? I swear, they're good! I'll bring some next time.

[lbaker]

Mario wants to Waggle Dance with Lady, isn't that cute?!! I'm partial to Cream Soda myself.. don't know if they even make it any more. My brother & I used to save our money to split a Rock Creek Cream Soda on the weekends

[davidpizzica]

That's IT, Gini! Now I have the taste for one!

[Lady's Human]

Lbaker, yep, they still make cream soda.

The DOTD sounds good, I think I'll try one.

Umm......Lady? Easy on Mario, girl. I don't think he wants to play as vigorously as you do.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Promise me no Dim Sum first!

I promise

[Killearn Kitties]

Could I have an ice cream soda with my Dim Sum please?

And none of this "I will check in if I can", BM. If mountaineers can send back photographs of never-before-climbed ridges every day, I'm sure you can manage a couple of posts!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hmmmmm Root Beer?
Not sure if we get that here ...

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia >>>

"The carbonated drink commonly called sarsaparilla in Australia is a type of root beer, named after the sarsarparilla root from which root beer is made. However, the taste is quite different, to the point that they may be considered two completely different products. This may be due to a difference in the production process."

Google combinations of "Australia" and "Root Beer"
don't offer up any shops carrying the American style product.

Thanks Phred!!!!

You sure know how to search the world for me .... . I would not have even thought of doing that, but then again, I am abit vague at the moment.

Might be all the RUM I added INSTEAD of Root Beer???

[RedHedd]

I think I need some CALM-momile tea this morning as San Francisco was shaken awake this morning by a 4.2 quake. Mitzi had just jumped up on her window seat which coincided with the first jolt, and then the house rolled for several seconds. The retrofit held. It was 15 minutes before the alarm went off, so we rolled over and went back to sleep. No damage here, just a few frayed nerves, although the peeps in the East Bay had their power knocked out.

[gini]

Hmmm, a 4.2 - it gives a whole new meaning to "Get Away Thursday" - and Friday and Saturday too!

I'm sure people who don't experience these earthquakes wonder how we can just go back to bed............but, when it's over - it's over and you do - just go back to bed if they are early in the morning.

We will have a hot cup of tea waiting for you when you wake up!

[RICHARD]

Shaken, not stirred!

Redd,
Unfrayed nerves?

DONE!

HI Captain!

It's the ambience!

BM,

You can't get away that easily!

C&S

KK,

12 MInutes of Becks....I can do that!

One Ice cream soda and Dim SUM?


LH,m

You got it!

DONE!

LB, Rock Creek?

Another search for C&S!

DONE!

Randi,
Waggle Dance?

After you drink it?

Pam,

Oh no!

No Dad's RB?

Who remembers Mother's Pride?


Gini,

Isn't that a trademark violation?
DONE?
