None of the modern presidents should be in the same category as Washington, Lincoln, or even Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin--but let's not talk anymore of this talk...why don't you have a little drink with me? :-p
Math Is Hard said:
hmmm.. I like the new location! New management, eh? I hope they didn't fire the cooks. Do they still have the same great flaming pu-pu platters?

Bartender, I'll have my mai-tai served in a coconut shell, please.
Of course that is still on the menu, and a mai-tai--excellent choice. :biggrin:

I'd love to. I've never been to the Tiki Bar before, what do you recommend?

And it's a really quick way to find out if the cute guy I'm playing against is gay or straight. If he's gay, he'll complain that I'm blocking his shot and I know to give up chasing after him.
Well now... I'm very definitely not gay but I have had to kick myself for ignoring girls that were hitting on me because I was too absorbed in whooping some butt on the table.

Not like I've ever been 'hit on', but the women around here long ago learned that I'll stare at them with my tongue hanging out until they get tired of it, then make the shot. They still do it as a joke, though, which I appreciate. :biggrin:

Moonbear, would you mix up your specialty, please? Talk about kicking butt, that drink will...

well just you never mind about girls hitting on you, or getting a whooping on the table, or what ever.

Hmmmm...

Yeah, but were they leaning over the table wearing a low, loosely cut blouse? Besides, if you were playing against me, you wouldn't have to try too hard to win, so you could afford to relax your concentration on the game. If I was interested in a guy, I'd never distract him if he was playing against someone else...I'd want him to win so we could celebrate. :biggrin:

Coming right up! Hmm...I've never come up with a name for it. How about Moonbear Madness? :biggrin:

I need to leave the bar for now, and will trust that while I'm gone we won't lose the liquor license...right? Maybe Danger will teach you darts (and no fowl language, please), yomamma is getting polluted enough around here. :bugeye:

Hey now, did we agree that the drinking age here is 17? i would fancy a pina colada... mmmm! (martini's just aren't my style... erm... not that I've ever had... eh...)

Interesting point since this is determined by each state, and PF is international... BTW, green apple martinis aren't like regular martinis, so I think you'd like 'em.

So I go to the airport to collect my mail order husband, but never found him. :confused:

Oooooh, a bar!

SOS said:

Chickens! Turkeys! Ducks! Geese!

Ahh dear, I only need a poultry excuse to make some puns! :smile:[/size]


Anyway, are there any real rules for this, urm, bar?

I'd like a manly back-rub from Danger, a manicure from Moonbear, and Gale can hook me up with some honey-roast cashew nuts. Where, geographically, is this place anyway? Is proper beer available? I've only got limited supplies.

I think we decided it was 17.6 on the Supersonic RV (that rounds up to 18, which is acceptable as a drinking age in most countries). I suppose we can float the Tiki Bar offshore in international waters and ferry folks out there.

Gail, haven't you been 17 for about 3 years now? :confused:

Can we see some ID please before you start drinking in here! :smile:

Give the girl a break! This is the UK! Landlords might say they don't appreciate underage drinking in their establishments, but what they mean is "would you like a double, love?"

Cheers chuck. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes.

Would you like a double, love? :smile:

Yes green apple martinis taste like jolly ranchers.

So what are we going to do about getting that harem of yours up and running if the mail order catalogues are flakes?

Thanks brewnog :!) <-- In a plutonic way of course!

I can't vouch for services rendered by other members, but the bar is now located here in General Discussion, and we have a great selection of lager, ale, and...well maybe you could help with the ordering, hum?

We simply must have some Guinness on tap. The stuff tastes like it's been filtered through a moose, but it looks fantastic.

And some of us get a little too jolly when we drink too many of 'em. :rolleyes:

Well I suppose I should follow my own advice that quality can be better than quantity. My shift at the Tiki Bar ends at 11:00. :-p :devil:

Guinness is a definite must. That and Saphire, decent tonic, and limes. And there must be some Sinatra/Rat Pack on the Juke Box!
