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....

lol! Actually...when our son was small we told him that Barney had been incarcerated because he caused an accident while driving a school bus. When I think of it now.. that was probably unwise but it forestalled any possibility of having to watch Barney, which, I'm sure, saved our son from even more damage.

You're welcome! Hmmm...strange that.. Is your inner druid coming out of retirement again?

That's better. Now, Turkey?

*snorts* Geeze... you can take the hillbilly outa Kentucky...but you can't take Kentucky out of the hillbilly
*tosses BS a large bottle of Turkey*

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...

You obviously were using the wrong kind of hallucinogenics...I'm certain I read that all the right kinds of trips involve purple dinosaurs....
Of course... if one of Aegis' distant ancestors was your supplier....well anything would have been possible...

Of course we serve Guinness, it wouldn't be a fine establishment if we didn't!
*One perfectly cooled Guinness and "Roosting Gull Burger" for your consuming pleasure*

Can we get a wide screen tv to replace the one with the huge hole in it lol. There should be a ban on Barney though - Teletubbies is much more intellectual

*sips guiness and eats burger* ah thats much better

I don't see why not. But as for content, you'll have to negotiate that with BS and his shotgun

[Aegis]

I have gone by many names. Mostly single termed names like "Slapper", "Electroplankton", "Bob. You know, that sort of thing. You can all call me something less syllably intensive. Personally, I enjoy "Sir".

Okay, I might give it a try but I'm really bad at poetry. Okay, here goes:
I'm neither old nor a sailor as I'm 20 and I have an avatar of a soldier,
I'm not restless as I am not that active (though I do go out and exercise) and I'm not a spirit as I'm still alive,
I am not thirsty because I drink water regularly but I am somewhat of a wanderer since I hang around different forums.

There. Hope this sums up as a poem (I know, it stinks ).

Hmm. Usually I always regard beverages as hot drinks. I don't classify orange juice or other cold drinks as beverages, in my opinion. Didn't know those count as well.

I spent the last two days in a place like that - unfortunately I did only experience the above for 5 minutes, and the rest of the time inside a conference room. Some of my friends envy me because I travel to all these conferences and meeting - yeah, great, I see more airports and more hotel rooms than they do

Yawn, I'm exhausted...a cold cranberry juice served by a handsome male with a pretty butt would be perfect right now.

Pretty butt or not, I don't want a fish in my head so I hope Aegis keeps his distance.

[dragon wench]

@Des,
lol! Good stuff!

Hmm.. Well dictionary.com gives some conflicting definitions of beverage
I have come down with an ugly cold, and have that 'head full of cotton wool' feeling, but if anyone else can add more to this mystery please do

@CE,
That must have been sheer torture, being in so beautiful a location without being able to enjoy it. I hope at least the conference made up a little.
Something a bit similar happened to us once. We were driving down to San Francisco via the coastal route. However, we were under severe time restraints (the start of uni was coming up), so we could only really gaze in awe from the windows at the amazing the scenery of the Oregon Coast and Northern California. Happily, we remedied this a few years ago when we drove down there a second time, and we spent numerous happy hours by the ocean's edge.

lol! *whistles for exotically handsome with cute butt server to attend to CE's requirements*

I take it you won't be ordering any of the fish specials on the menu then?

Thanks. Though I think that some parts of the poem don't rhyme at all.

Well, according to The Free Dictionary's definition, it mentioned 'beverage'as any liquid except water. Oh well, I'll keep to either classification.

Well poems don't need to rhyme

On that note I'm off to brew up some hot lemon. Ugh... I hate summer colds.. It's probably psychological but they always feel worse than those you get in the winter

[Tanita]

Mystic Thief spots a quiet corner of the tavern where it's darkly lit. She saunters on over and pulls out a chair. Her Tanto of Lightning Shock is placed carefully on the table furthest away from nimble fingers.

She removes several amulets, expensive rings, bracers, chitin boots, swords, shields, axes, spears, arrows and assorted apparel before settling down.

She gives the passong wench a nod over and orders a jug of lager, nipple cold, and a straw.

Settling back after her first pull, she watches the hot potch of clientel from underneath her dark hood. Her eyes naturally skim over pockets and expensive armour.

lol Tanita, good to see you here!
Are you suggesting we had best all keep a close eye on our possesions?

*instructs serving wench to provide Tanita with a jug of the best lagar in the house, along with a complimentary tray appetizers*

[Xandax]

If I had anything worth keeping my eye on I would. Meanwhile I'll hope some of the other stuff dissapears so I can collect insurance for it instead

[C Elegans]

@DW: The conference actually made up for it - I got the best suggestion from a male I've ever heard (a new collaboration, of course)

*inspects Xandax' butt*

Well, if you have nothing better to do, I why don't you do a little strip dance for me?

[Curdis]

* A desicated old man in a ragged sack cloth robe enters. He looks like he's a first timer, though the worn in ash look indicates a history of previous sinning or questionable personal hygene, possibly both. He nudges someone's half finished booze and looks dissappointed that it doesn't exploded, or make him think vividly lewd thoughts. He then notices the male stripper, and appears to brighten somewhat. Here is exactly the sort of depravity that he can look down his nose at and loudly denounce. He notices the bold writing on the business licence "Anything goes, just keep it clean", looks around and then starts enthusiastically cleaning the strippers chromed poles. Notices several eyes staring and nervously feels like some response is required. *

err, carry on?

Erm....wouldn't that be a little inappropriate? I was under the impression that this is a bar, not a strip club.
