A Birthday Bar Thursdays #423

[davidpizzica]

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."
Orc now demands a full apology, and compensation in way of a quarter deposited into the swear jar.

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.

Orc said "Fair enuf"
Ok, one hot coffee with Baileys for you David.
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.

[gini]

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.

[Lady's Human]

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?

[pomtzu]

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,,,,

[Lady's Human]

You look. I'm Cheeeeken.



Speaking of chicken...................Gini, is lunch served yet?

[pomtzu]

A drunken Wombat and maybe an Orc too??? Darned if I'm poking my head under there.

[gini]

"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?

[Lady's Human]

THanks!

I think I'll have an Irish Coffee with that. Anyone else want something from the bar while I'm up?

[Karen]

Yum, I'll take some chicken and dumplings. Just a nice hot cup of tea for me, barkeep!

[wombat2u2004]

Look - whoever is burping - could you knock it off? It sounds so gross.
Wom - is that you?

No Gini, it's not me.
I think it's LH. He does that just before a feeding frenzy.

[wombat2u2004]

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.
