*...one guy who's talking with the bartender. She's attractive, but walks a little funny.*
Thanks, I think. :blushing:
2CentsWorth said:
..I know this is a Tiki Bar, but do you have any hookahs?"
Though this is primarily a Polynesian theme, it is international, so is...should we say eclectic. Hookahs are fun! What flavor tobacco do you want?

...the only place a 17.6 year old can legally drink. which is perfect because i happen to be 17.71 years old.
:smile: But be careful on the beach--who knows what the likes of 2CentsWorth do out there, especially after dark. :rolleyes:

I turn back toward this new stranger, "How you doin', SOS? Nice to meet you. Can we order you something from the bar?"
Sure! :-p

Since I'm the boss, there's some changes to be made around here.
Excellent! I'm glad you decided to manage this place--especially selection of proper beer.

And while I agree there's no use in wasting good money on frills in the mens room (like they'd put the toilet seat down if there was one-hah), I think there should be some light--they seem to miss the urinals a bit too much as it is.

Saloon style swinging doors are to be replaced because that's just tacky! And in case of a "lock-down." The jukebox selection is great (with exception of B*witched, er I guess we all just used our veto.)

Okay, on with Tequila Thursday, Woohooo!

I was thinking "glow in the dark" urinals. They would provide ambient lighting while being a focal point. :approve:

In a really beautiful custom house I visited they had swinging saloon style doors separating the toilet from the rest of the master bathroom, I loved it. :-p

Oh yeh, glow in the dark ambient lighting--very good. And maybe a florescent target for where to aim. :smile: There's a place here in town that has a revolving door from which people may enter the ladies or mens room, and often end up in the wrong one. Now that might be fun. :-p

erm ya... maybe... cept that men's room sounds like the sort of place i'd rather avoid..

the ladies room however... i think we need a nice sofa and one of those guys to pump the soap into my hands so i don't have to touch the dirty faucet. and i want ambient music playing. it should be very luxurious and clean and tidy. with very comfortable toilets, and very soft tiolet paper. and hmm... could we also have a private room in the back filled with lots of sexy guys for me to look at before having to go back out into the bar and face all the pf guys...

Yes, a guy to pump soap into our hands...but who? :rolleyes:

Hey MIH, I've been wondering where you've been. Of course here at the Tiki Bar we enjoy tropical weather, but certainly every comfort is included (compliments of EvoCorp, Greg & Seeking, Inc., and a few others).

Cancer clinic eh? no... I'm not aware of this... but by the sounds of it, i think i'll go get me some cancer! (this is of course assuming that 'cancer' somehow means i get lots of sexy guys...)

this tiki bar sure is swell!

How about approach lights with audio navigation - for those who have had a bit too much?

Strobe lights would be interesting. :biggrin:

Then again, put UV-flurourescent dye in the drinks and a black light in the men's room - :smile: OK, I'm getting too weird even for myself. :eek:

-------------------

Here's a thought. Many bars have a ladies night, where ladies get a free drink or two, presumably so they bother to show up, so guys will be induced to show up and buy drinks for the ladies.

So why not a guys night, where guys sit around waiting for ladies to buy them drinks.

On the other hand, it could be a long wait. :biggrin: :smile:

Where do I apply?

*Stops in at the Tiki Bar. It's already getting crowded, but that's to be expected on Fridays. Good thing I came in a little early. I think I'll grab a bar stool near the attractive woman with dark hair.*

"I'll have a..."

*interrupted by the bartender, who asks if I'll have my usual on draft. I'd say that makes me a regular and qualified to frequent the back room, yes...*

Very good suggestion -- So Tuesday will now be Ladies Night!

*Just one quick drink and then I'll go...really, just one. I think I'll have a glass of wine.*

Ummmm "A little citrus. Maybe some strawberry. Mmm. Passion fruit, mmm, and, oh, there's just like the faintest soupçon of like, uh, asparagus, and, there's a, just a flutter of, like a, like a nutty Edam cheese." :smile:

*Dang, TheStatutoryApe is heading for San Francisco, the Arctic Fox for Mexico, and where in the heck have Huckleberry, Danger and Zoobyshoe been?!*

How about a Tappas bar?

And Friday night is Fajita/Margarita night or Beer and Pizza night.

First round is on me.

I guess I'll barkeep while brewnog is nogging and SOS is out and about, or oot and aboot.

I have lots of experience from the Crushed Velvet Lounge.

Thanks. I think this co-op approach works well for a bar, everyone taking turns bartending. :approve:

Hi Sis! It's my busy season I'm afraid. Fiscal New Year is approaching at work and it's just not quite the party you'd think it would be.
But now that I'm here, I'll have a Flying Zoobie, please - hold the flaming marshmallows. :smile:
 
  • #122
Just want to check in. It's absolutely pissing down rain here; I had to walk half a mile to the bank after work since this is payday; had other errands to do; my bumbershoot turned inside-out on me 3 times because there's a wind strong enough to blow a pig off its feet; then stopped at the Legion for a beer (30 oz; I have my own mug there); ran into a couple of friends that I rarely see, so that turned into 3 beers; ran across the street to the liquor store and bought a dozen to take home; paid $5 for a cab home (the fare was $3.50, but I used to drive the damned things so I tip well); and now I have to cab it down to the bar because I promised a woman that I'd be there for her daughter's 18th birthday). So, if anyone wonders why my posting has been a bit lax lately, that's the sort of week it's been. (Oh yeah... I have to work in the morning, so I don't know what shape I'll be in the next time you hear from me.)
Meanwhile, carry on. I've loved reading this thread, but I just can't properly respond right now.

I think that one will be more socially acceptable, if that sort of thing is important to you. So, let's see, what should go in it? How about some pineapple and cranberry juice, a splash of lime, we'll add some club soda for sparkle, and of course a cherry and umbrella.

SAME! hehe... i can't stop giggling about how funny it sounds... "could i get a round of yomammas milk?" hehe... think about the folks who'd order that... you know, the good natured people who don't drink achohol... imagine the sorts of bar fights that'd break out...

nice young gentleman leans over to the gruff man drinking a beer on the stool next to him. "yomamma's milk is so yummy." smacks his lips and grins... gruff looking man jumps up and says "don't you be talking bout my mamma like that!" nice mild mannered guy looks down at his drink and then back up again... "mommy" and the last things he sees is the big gruff guy swinging a stool.

It's still plural: a pitcher of Flying Zoobies.

I think, Yommamma's Milk should be, in fact, milk based. (Think White Russian as you develope the recipe.) We used to put some flavored brandies in milk, too.

yomamma's milk, should in fact be just plain milk... maybe with some chocolate syrup or something... but it has to be suitable for children yomamma's age. heh, actually now that i think of it, its probably a decent way to keep young'uns away from the bar, they'd probably feel a bit silly ordering that drink all the time...

so I have 2 drinks named after me :biggrin:

it should be a dessert drink. how about milk, cream, and ice. first blended, then whipped. then a dollop of whipped cream on top, liquor, and of course, an umbrella

Okay, one Yomamma's Milk coming up:

We'll make this one with milk, some caramel syrup, a scoop of coffee ice cream, blend it all well, top it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Stop trying to slip the liquor in. But I see great minds think alike that it should be a dessert type drink. :approve:

Sounds fine. There should be an adult version though, with a shot of something in it.

What do we call the adult version?

I have a really good idea for a name, but I think it may even be too tasteless for this crowd (and not sure the censors will let it stand). :rolleyes:

We can do fruit salads too.

Do you prefer berries - raspberry, blueberry and blackberry, or something more tropical like mango, guava, papaya and peach?
