Sure - 5 drink minimum though for them. Which is why the place is so popular amongst families

Drinks? Sounds good to me!

I'll have some orange juice, please!


What? What? Is it something I said?

I happen to like orange juice. Is that so wrong?

Is orange juice a beverage? I don't think it is.

Whoops. Looks like I came to the wrong place. Says its for old sailors, restless spirits and thirsty wanderers. Since I fit none of the above as my avatar is that of a soldier (World War 2), I think I'll just move along.

Well, I'm old but no sailer. Restless but no spirit and thirsty but not a wanderer...... I'm still around though

lol!

I define "beverage" by any substance one can drink... Er... on second thought, I'd better clarify... So, for example, fruit juices, water, tea, coffee, sodas, alcohol etc. are *all* beverages in my books

Hey, I was trying to be atmospheric, I'm a closet frustrated writer wannabee. Please allow me some poetic licence at least

Ok, cool. I hope the kid's menus double as coloring books and come with a small pack of crayons? If so, please be sure to give one to Xandax. You know he wants one.....

Oh, we have lots of menus and placemats that double as colouring books, though bearing in mind the eclectic clientelle we have a large variety of "themes."

*passes Gwally placemats depicting frolicking fairies and rackish dragons*
*passes Xandax his very own more adult-themed placemat and menu*

EDIT:
Oops! Forgot the crayons! *passes boxes of mini crayons to Gwally and Xandax*

I'll have a carbonated high fructose corn syrup sugar bomb beverage laced with Wild Turkey, please. And if you would, please add a grease burger slathered with a generous amount of mayonaisse on the side. I prefer the bun to be enriched bleached flour (no "organic hippy bread," please ), my condiments to be excessively burdened with sodium and sugar, and my napkins to be made of 0% post-consumer content.

Oh, and you might attract fable in here if you'll play some episodes of Barney on the big-screen TVs. I heard he's a big fan of Barney.

lmao! *serves Chan an excessively caloric grease burger with all the trimmings, and a high voltage Wild Turkey C0cktail
Oh, and with such an impassioned plea, how could I refuse to also include a portion of ultra greasy fries with extra packet-derived gravy.

Funny..... I never would have associated a Babylonian deity with a pudgy purple dinosaur.. Didn't the Babylonians come after?

Why DW...I am sure fable has fond memories of the dinosaurs - from the days of his youth, of course. Perhaps the Purple One summons pleasant recollections from those halcyon days in Deity Primary School.

Ug. Even my kids don't like Barney, and my wife refuses to watch on account that the children who appear with the Great Purple Marshmallow are in her words, "creepy." But I guess there's no accounting for a Babylonian deity's taste.....

Thanks for the crayons, DW. I'm gonna shred mine up and melt them between sheets of wax paper to make 'stained glass'. For some odd reason in the nymphs and dryads in my stained glass never seem to be clothed.....

I knew I heard my name being taken in vain. That happens a lot, these days.

Back in Babylon, we never had purple dinosaurs. We had purple elephants and laughing, purple snakes, but that was only the morning after and if you got your fortified beverages from Omrus the Circassian Fish-Slapper.

Who actually looked a lot like Aegis, now that I recall. Hmmmm...

Do you serve Guinness in this fine establishment? If so, I'll have a nice cool pint of Guinness Extra Cold please While I'm at it, can I have the same burger as Chanak? That sounds really really good
