As Mac walks up to the stranger, he notices that he is playing and talking to a small wooden chess set with white knights as logos. Excuse me good sir, I notice that you are new around here, may I buy you a drink, The stranger looks up, calls a FBW over, orders a brandy, pays for it himself and stars at Mac.

Tesco, are you daft or what? (I know this is a relative question for a north american) - I only revert to my Shrek alter ego if it means I can get a quick knee trembler with Cameron Diaz..
The oly similarity between the person in your photo and me is that he is wearing green. Other than that, he has far too much hair and looks like a bit of a nancy boy to me... Do you wish to explain why you are surfing the world-wide-web looking for pictures of fey looking pillow biters? Mac, dogs are welcome in the Plough & Harrow but that is because Chris the Landlord is an entrepeneur and also runs a Korean restaurant in Canterbury that promises food so fresh you wouldn't know you were not in Pusan Back to character, Growltigga finishes putting up sign in cantina saying "Dogs welcome (only on Korean cuisine night), rednecks are not welcome at all) GT looks at the latest flash figures for Tigg-A PLC and notes that EBIT is up 250% from Last month on a like-for-like basis due to the strong demand for its products from the new redneck bar...."hmmmm if they only knew what we put into that Ol' Milwaukee to give it that jaundiced yellow look, and as for the grits we are supplying, when will they realise that that is Taz's dandruff" Growltigga eyes Paladin nervously, wandering what is going to happen to Mac |

Trajan walks, wearily, into the Cantina. Waving to the assembled patrons, he finds a comfortable booth seat, orders a cold Bass Ale from the nice FBW, and begins to work on his company's new "sales/marketing oriented" website.
However...before he delves into the business of the day, he brings forth a gem of news from the world of F**ked Company.com. Evidently, CNET.com has blocked access to the website from within its own network. Here is the 1st paragraph and link to the whole story. "Although we debated whether taking this action would draw more attention to some truly disgusting postings, we are blocking all access to f****dcompany.com from CNET Networks systems." http://www.****edcompany.com/extras/cnet5_email.cfm I often peruse the F'd Company website, looking for rumors that are floated about company's in my neck of the woods. The many many comments that are posted on this site are often extremely vulgar, but hey, this isnt PrettyRoses.Com.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours

Bass Ale is readily available in the States. I can easily acquire a case or even a Keg of it at my local (Wash. DC) booze retailers. I used to be able to get Double Diamond, Burton Ale. I greatly prefer this refreshment over most any others, though I am not able to find it in my area anymore. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Cheers! Trajan |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Trajan
Cripes, I am somewhat surprised that you can readily get Bass Ale over in the States and double diamond!, blinkin' flip - I havn't seen that around in absolute ages. I think it is fair to say that Bass ale is not as universally available over here as it definately used to be. I think most discerning ale lovers would probably blanche at the thought of drinking bass these days. It may be that Bass is treated liked DirectorTsaarx mentioned Fosters was ie something shipped over to johnny foreigner who couldn't tell good beer if it rained on him At least it is not US beer. We have a saying about America. We say you can buy anything you like in America, except the beer and the food because both of those you just hire for a while [ July 12, 2002, 16:32: Message edited by: Growltigga ] |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
I seroisuly wish I could get Double Diamond here, but I have not seen it in months. I do occasionally get Celbrator Double (Dopple?) Bok.
As for Bass Ale being "Americanized" I think that is a failry accurate statement. As with many things that are initially imported, they get "watered down" to fit the generic desires of the disposable income spending mob. One of my friends will not drink Guiness anymore, unless he is over in England/Ireland. He says the difference is just far far to great. Is anyone here a wine connoisseur? I am always look for more information on wines as well. Cheers! Trajan |

A millionaire wins a rather messy divorce so to celebrate, he takes all his friends, and his lawyer, for a tip-top alcohol and sex-fuelled cruise on his private yacht round the caribbean. The lawyers gets a little tiddly and manages to fall overnight. The crew throw him a life preserver and a banana dacquiri and he is happy as larry, bobbing about in the waves drinking whilst the rescue boat is launched. Suddenly, this giant man-eating shark comes racing up to the lawyer, everybody is expecting him to be ripped apart but the shark surfaces underneath him so that the lawyer is astride his back, swims over to the side of the yacht and helps the lawyer back on board, with a wave from a fin and a flick of his tail, the shark disappears back into the depths. Everybody is astounded and the millionaire walks up to the lawyer, who is still sipping his banana dacquiri happily, and asks him why the shark didn't eat him, but instead, helped him back on board. "Oh that" says the lawyer "that is just professional courtesy" |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Ghana is hot and humid. Skirts are short, tops are tight and the Internet is slow. Ergo, no sign of Saxon in the Cantina. Either that or a fear of why Tigga wants to see me tied naked to a spit and being slowly rotated. I always though Broomhilda was enough to slake his appetites, but I guess I was wrong.
I should be back on the 24th, though we are trying to get out of here early.

Geoschmo saunters in, drops his shilling on the bar and orders whatever passes for drinks in these parts. He arrives just in time to catch the tail end of the conversation. At an appropriate lull he decides to share with the room his favorite laywer joke.
So this lawyer decides to go on a trip to Borneo see? And he wants to see the wildlife and such so he hires a local guide to take him on a tour and show him the oranguatangs. They get a ways out into the bush and they suddenly realize they are being stalked by a very hungry looking tiger. The guide, who up to this point had been dressed in completely authentic native accutrements and was walking about barefoot, calmly sits down, opens his knapsack and pulls out a shiney new pair of Nike running shoes and begins to lace them up snugly. The lawyer, a bit frazzeled at the prospect of his imminent demise wailed, "Surely you don't think you can outrun that tiger on foot do you?" The guide calmly stood and spoke quietly, "But sir, I do not need to outrun the tiger. I only need to out run you." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Geoschmo PS: No, it wasn't a laywer joke the first time I heard it either, but you gotta love a story that ends with the lawyer getting eaten. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif [ July 15, 2002, 21:04: Message edited by: geoschmo ] |

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
A distant rumbling is heard...
Patrons looking out of the windowcan see a faint blue strip on the horizon, which gradually grows until it is apparent that a gigantic 500-metre high wave of seawater is sweeping towards the cantina at an incredible rate, destroying all in its path. Panic ensues: Various drinkers scramble to get to their spacecraft in the parking area, or hide uinder their tables and start crying. Growltigga's fur stands on end and he leaps into the rafters, quivering at the thought of getting wet. Other drinkers simply resign themselves to their fates and calmly order another drink, determined to at least go out in style. Just short of the Cantina, the wave stops miraculously, just like that bit at the end of "Abyss". Within the wall of water, gigantic sea- creatures can be seen: Genetically altered whales in battle armour, legions of sharks in military formations, and fearsome deep sea- creatures as yet undiscovered by the air-breathing world at large. Atop the wave, amidst the gravity- defying spume, upon a throne seemingly fashioned from the water itself there sits a figure. Someone produces a small telescope and everyone crowds around for a view of the Ocean King. It's Dogscoff, surrounded by voluptous mermaid courtiers and heavily armed mermen. Suddenly, an enormous squid swims to the front of the wave, rising up beneath the aquatic court. With one building sized tentacle, it lifts the throne and its occupant from the top of the wave to the Cantina's balcony. The throne of water collapses with a splash around the tentacle as the Ocean King steps from it into the bar. "I'll have a pint of Hoegaarden, and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps." He says to the astounded barman. "Open a tab for me, I plan to stick around." It is some time before the rest of the cantina's occupants gather their wits enough to speak, but finally someone speaks up: "Where have you been?" "I've been conquering the undersea realms, forging an empire mightier than anything ever seen above the waves. I now control all subaquatic life on the eplanet, and have amassed untold wealth from the hitherto unexploited mineral resources of the ocean floor." There is a stunned silence. "But my fingers were going all wrinkly, so I decided to come back here for a pint. Drinks are on me for a week." With that the wave retreats as quickly as it arrived, but not as quickly as the stampede for the bar now that someone else is paying... |
