yomamma, are you alright? A bit of Coke will sooth an upset stomach.

Sorry, about earlier today. I had to pop out and build a tool shed (listening t Joe Satriani, album - "Is There Love in Space". All done now. I have shed experience! *imagine the last phrase said in the voice of Ringo Starr*

Ok, I missed lunch but I am for the evening. Hmm - Saturday night.

Barbequed game and beer sounds good. I can sautee veggies and tofu for the vegetarians, roast some peppers with garlic - Oh, and make zucchini boats.

Anybody ever watch "Shining Time Station" with "Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends". I liked Gordon and Henry, and I really like Ringo Starr as "Mr. Conductor. I loved the way Ringo says "bootlace". Go figure. :biggrin:
I just went to the Crushed Velvet Lounge to see if there were any interesting men there. That place was so dark I couldn't see much. In fact, I think I'm out about $250 in lost sunglasses, watch, and some money in the sofa I was sitting on.

Ummm BBQ and sauteed veggies--I love zucchini! :biggrin:

Hey everyone, is this where the after party is? Looks like it's pretty quiet in here for a Saturday night. I guess everyone shows up after the regular bars close?
 
  • #216
Maybe they're busy and couldn't come to the bar! :wink:
 
  • #217
Where is everyone?!
Rise and shine sleepy heads![/size]
We've got a Father's Day special brunch today.
Fruit juice, coffee, eggs to order, bacon, breakfast sausage, ham, toast, hash browns, those little potato cubes with onion and green pepper (not sure what they are called, but they're tasty), and bagels with assorted cream cheese flavors.

:smile: Who, Moonbear? Nah.

I am glad she's making breakfast.

Well, it's time for lunch, but I'll have three eggs fried (over easy) on a bed of grits, to which I'll add a generous amount of hot sauce, side of bacon and black coffee. :-p

There's nothing better than breakfast for lunch, or breakfast for dinner, or breakfast for a midnight snack! I actually like breakfast most when it's not breakfast time (otherwise it means I had to wake up early). :biggrin:

We'll be firing up the grill for the Father's Day dinner (and at the Tiki Bar, that grill is no wimpy backyard grill...we're talking bonfire with a grate here). We already have the roast pig started, and we'll be adding steak, lamb chops, Italian sausage (with peppers and onions of course), bratwurst, and an assortment of grilled veggies.

Thanks Moonbear...I think I'm a little hung over... Yeh, breakfast for lunch (especially for those of us who don't eat breakfast).

Comment Box: Has anyone else noticed that Frist, DeLay, etc. all have Ted Koppel hair styles? :smile: What's with that?

Happily, I was hangover-free this morning. Then again, even though I was out partying last night, I never got drunk, so I guess a hangover wasn't really expected.
 
  • #225
Ah...I'm feeling better now. Drinks on the house for DocTox! :biggrin:
 
  • #226
Well I'm back from San Fran (short vacation), and I could use a Moonbear Madness. :-p
 
  • #227
I'm feeling like a yomamma's milk
 
  • #228
*walks back into the bar, checks to see if anyone knew I was gone*

Nope.

*sits back down acting as if I never left...*

Sigh.

*notices my vodka is still sitting where I left it 2 days ago*

*wonders if anyone noticed I don't even drink - just orders vodka to blend in*

Sigh.
 
  • #229
OK, Artic Fox, I saw you sneaking in, and I noticed that vodka sitting there for two days.

We have a variety of non-alcoholic beverages: teas, coffees, fruit drinks, sodas, . . . . here at the Tiki.

So what will it be? :cool:
 
  • #230
"Vodka", I exclaim. "A Russian only drinks Vodka!"

*looks around*

Whispers; "Chocolate milk with whipped cream, please..." ;)
 
  • #231
You got it!

Actually one my favorites is chocolate malt with extra malt. I used have one a day during grad school. Sometimes two. :biggrin:

Now I drink raspberry chocolate coffee, particularly in winter time. I haven't tried raspberry chocolate malt yet though. :-p

Nah, this time we know not to apply electric shock in conjunction with burning, gunshot, and lethal injection; we don't want another thread that requires the combined powers of 3 Super Mentors, a biology guru, and a zoobie to kill it. :biggrin:

*does a shot of moonbeast* Ahhh...that's what I needed.

Recovering from your, er um, harem weekend, ummm? :rolleyes:

Did you leave a sign on it reading: "I spit in this drink"? If you did, it's a good thing you don't really drink vodka because there was another sign attached: "I spit in it too." (Old joke!) :smile:

Welcome back boys! You missed the celebration of DocToxyn's b-day, but you can still have a drink on the house (Chocolate milk with whipped cream...?). I'm worried about Huckleberry though...if he's gotten another virus, well it didn't come from the Tiki Bar (um, I don't think...)

Comment Box: I don't care if Saddam likes Doritos -- Geez!

I still can't even begin to catch up to this thread, but I'll try tomorrow. For now, I have to go to sleep. 'Night, all. :zzz:

Harem? Not quite. Unless you mean the two cats that slept with me on the couch. I did really like the kitties, just not in that way. :-p

There, there, have another yomamma's milk. Nothing will ever replace franzbear, but he'll always be there with you in your heart.
