Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/15/2007Well, I didn't freeze from my trip to the doc yesterday. More drugs to throw at the headaches, though. It's getting to be a recurring theme, go to the doctor, get another prescription to try. Gets old really fast. I'm not sure what else to do though.

It would be an escort mission where you rescue the ice cubes from the evil doctor with a blender and then take the ice cubes back home to the snow swept mountains while protecting the ice cubes from monsters with glasses of warm drinks.
Well, I tried that, but...I got about 1/2 way across the local desert, and needed something for my tea...

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/07/2007Wow, antryg. What a job. Are you sure Robert is ready for such a task? Sounds big.
And no, one need not be skinny or tall to wear tubes and bellbottoms. Believe me, I've seen more than my share of poppin' booties and boobies... girls who have no business wearing jeans, even, are seen wearing these two items in Atlantic City. So there really are no rules, you see... but those who actually look decent in them just get more props It just makes the rest of us look good, is all...

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/07/2007I so liked my bartender days. I only had to know three drinks, Jack and Coke, Rum and Coke, with a twist of lime, and draw beer. Did I mention I worked at a strip club? Sometimes the generic rum would have to be replaced by a specific variety, and sometimes the Jack was replaced with another name, or a generic/house bourbon, but overall, it was a sweet gig.
Unlike my new gig, of module designer. It's all good until the idea well runs dry. I have a thousand ideas for areas, but no idea on what to put in them...

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/07/2007You don't have to be skinny to wear a tube top and bellbottoms. A statuesque and valkyrie type figure such as you possess looks equally appealling. As a mutual friend of ours would say.......boobies.

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/07/2007You want classic: I've already announced my plans to grow mint this year just so I can make old fashioned mint juleps for when it's too hot to care. I alos have every intention of making some annisette (purely medicinal, of course, for upset tummies ) and maybe a couple other 'elixirs'.
Tube tops and bell bottoms should never have been a fashion 'statement' in the first place! Only skinny girls can wear them .
Ok, I'm off to.....I dunno, maybe do something constructive like cleaning or something. I was going to prepare the new Psst for tomorrow but you beat me to it.....

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/06/2007Well, 1 girl ordered a Sex on the Beach. Yes, how wonderfully colorful. But I still think people should go for the good ol' classics -- I mean, hey, didn't they bring back tube tops and bell bottoms? What's wrong with something with a little history?
And itty bitty? 10 years ago, I would've been... well, I won't say. But I wasn't itty bitty! I was able to ride my bicycle and go on public transport all by my lonesome! And I even had a learner permit. So there@!!
edited to add: we call that a greyhound at my bar but low-sodium pup sounds much nicer.

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/06/2007I refuse to believe you've been following me around for that many years. I'm pretty sure I'd notice an itty bitty kid toddling in my wake .
Beer on tap? Stale. Long Island Iced Tea? How mundane. What about a Sex on the Beach? That might be nice to visualize when it's so cold outside. Or a low-sodium pup (the non-salt on the rim version of a Salty Dog).
If'n I was there, we'd have to go through your book and try them all at least once .

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/06/2007Believe me, Melody, I took full advantage of those articles, as you can tell by the new issue.
And yes, I have been following you around for the last 10 years. I've been planning out my life so that it mirrors yours. Well, except for your obsession with squirrels, that I can't do.
But anyhoo, I'm learning all these new crazy drinks that the newly 21 year olds like. The place is, however, usually packed with locals who stop by for happy hour (or happy 3 hours -- whatever the crazy terminology is... how can happy hour last for 3 hours? It must be "happy hours"... jimmy, are you taking notes, because I just gave you a squirrel idea).
Too bad no one will order an old-fashioned or a pink squirrel. These are great drinks that I think people should order. But no. Everyone wants beer on tap or Yuengling, Purple Hooter, and long island iced tea. Why is that? Can you PLEASE order something different??
Anyway, this is a tremendously weird post so I better stop now before it gets really crazy.
See ya, Helene

Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/05/2007*sigh* I remember the days of playing on a pool league. I was the token female and the token not-very-good player, but I had a lot of fun and, when I used all the advantages presented, won a few games, as well. Besides, it was something that hubby and I did as a couple -- and that made it all the much better.
Wow, so you're a bartender now. Are you secretly following me around? Done that, too. Was a blast even at our tiny little establishment. It's closed right now but I keep hoping to find the owner around to ask him about re-opening it. Heck, I'll run it for him -- and make both of us some muulah.
Remember, there's a bunch of articles that were technically published but not advertised last time. It'd be a shame not to capitolize on them again.
I've been preoccupied lately. Don't worry, Melody... new issue will definitely go up on Tuesday -- 1st tuesday this month!
Otherwise, I've been busy. First of all, my baby Bennington, the cutest puppy in the world, keeps me pretty busy on his own. In addition, I've joined the local pool league, with 2 practices a week. It's fun, so far, even though I lose a lot.
Then, I started bartending sometime last week. That's fun, too. Just learning the ropes. It's only my love of alcohol and its endless concoctions that makes it so much fun. Hopefully, I'll find a happy balance between my jobs and personal activities -- i'm all over the place these days!
