LOL, Growltigga is exceptinally glad to see Dogscoff back from the deeps, and hale and hearty, and asks him if his new-found role as guardian and lord of the sea means the Thai-style tuna steak and boquerones are off the menu?

El Scoffo, have you got another job to go too? havn't you just moved house and therefore need to service the mortgage? you are not on a limb are you cos being an overpaid lawyer (according to Geo anyhow), I am afford to lend you £1 a week

Thanks 'Tig (and thanks for the PM as well) but it's actually quite the opposite situation. All the plumpest and finest creatures of the sea will now be leaping out of the water near the cantina, desperate to be selected for the honour of being cooked and eaten by their ocean king or his esteemed associates.

If you can arrange the construction of a giant fish tank in the kitchens, I'll have one of my finest merman chefs move into it to instruct in the preparation of all the subaquatic delights which wil be utterly unknown to your air-breathing cooks. A warning though, certain deep-sea creatures might explode when served at normal air-pressure. Still, I guess it only serves to make the menu a little more exciting.

Geo sits at the bar nursing his drink, and several cricket bat shaped head wounds of various severity and watches out the window as the waters receed from the parking lot. Idely we wonders if he remebered to roll his windows up...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yup, start next Monday. With the mortgage and house-moving still undecided at the time, I wouldn't have applied for voluntary redundancy without a new job to go to. My new job will be 5% more money than the old one, 100 miles less commuting per day and hopefully will be more interesting and promising. Oh, and I might get to travel to Germany quite a lot.

Mac sees the huge tidal wave and the subsequent reincarnation of Dogscoff, he smiles, turns to the dark seated stranger, and says, well he's back, won't need your services for now, however how about a nice game of chess on your beautiful board, The stranger looks up with those incapable feeling eyes and nods, Mac settles down across the table and begins the game, of course he orders his usual from Taz the bartender since Dogscoff is buying http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , he also notices that the Dreadnaughat that was parked over that skylark in the parking lot has been washed away with the tide, including the little old screachiang lady. Poor Puke, but maybe since the Dogscoff has obtained a new raise, he'll lend him some $ for a new ship.

He looks towards the bar to see where his Coors has gotten to, hope Taz didn't test it first he mumbles, but no there's the Taz over in the cornor building what appears to be a very large human sized fish tank. aahhh new items for the menu, he also notices the paramedics attending to poor Geo, who is eyeing the new Cream Pie dispenser, sees the tigga still in the rafters shaking at the thought of water pelting his pedigree upon the resurrection of Dogscoff, and a group of the FBW surrounding the reclining figure of Atrocities, oohin and aahing all over him as they gently pick him up, deposit him on one of the new fluffy cots in the cornor, and administer to his every wish as they console him in his recovery efforts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Geo. Get off the pine and come outside. It's sunny and pool is just fine. Also the bartender is starting to make a mighty fine coco loco. And they have started offering some of the finer Mexican beers on tap as well. Some Sol or Bravo is in order

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

Yes, welocme back Dogscoff.

Growltigga, in a fit of reasonable behaviour and fondness for a fellow Brit, comes down from the rafters (remember guys that Tigers can swim) and gets out the champagne to celebrate.. bottles of Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin are passed round to all and sundry on a gratis "get as much down your gullit as you can" basis

Geo's medical bill is settled and GT gives him a big wet kiss on the head, Atrocities is given another bottle of poison to really send him off, Puke is given a pristine 1977 1.6 Austin Allegro to replace his dreadnaught, Mac is given another Liz Hurley lookalike FBW to interfere with, PaladinofEarth is offered the LLC contract, Gryphin is given corrective surgery (on his eyes, on his eyes) and the world is now a happy laughing place full of happy laughing smiley people

Note to self1: hire a sushi chef and/or Rick Stein

Note to self2: speak to Dogscoff about a 100 MILE COMMUTE?

Note to self3: slap Tesco on the back for mentioning Mexican/Spanish beers... is there nothing better than an ice cold Dos Equis or Alhambra or Cruzcampo when served with nachos, fajitas and chimichangas

I noticed on another thread (which contains a great deal of emotional debate that I don't care to soil my hands with) that Geo recently "discovered" cricket. Which gave me a thought (not necessarily a good one, but who cares, I've been drinking beer from Down Under again): this cantina needs a cricket team! Better, we need two teams so we can actually play a game (rather than sit around in uncomfortable uniforms & complain about old sports injuries) - that sorry excuse for a bar across the street is too American to understand the sport. They'd probably try to use a round bat and 4 bases...

Well if there is a games room starting up. Tesco brings in a air hockey game and a bubble hockey game. Canada vs Russia vintage 1994 one.

Something to think about

A subtle but apparently widespread corporate practice came to light earlier this year when the family of a deceased Wal-Mart warehouseman in Texas learned that the company had taken out a $64,000 life insurance policy on him, naming the company as beneficiary. Companies often buy policies for their top executives, but so-called "dead janitor" policies are usually purchased in secret, as tax dodges. Critics say that such companies lose the incentive to make their workplaces safer if they stand to collect on employees' deaths. Wal-Mart purchased about 350,000 such policies but canceled them this year after the practice was exposed. [Houston Chronicle, 4-16-02]

Geo observes all the commotion going on around him and wonders if they will install any video game consoles. This thought sends him off pondering a deep thought...

What if instead of game consoles we installed some LAN'd pc's? And then for the pc's we could get some really fun games. Maybe a 4X strategy game set in outer space in which we would all play the parts of galactic Emporers leading our mighty empires across far flung star systems. And then if we had questions or wanted to compare strategies we could ask them in the forum convienently provided by the distibutor of the game. But serious discussions about the game all the time wouldn't be fun, so occasionally we could open an off topic thread in that forum and pretend to be weary galactic emporers spending our off hours in a great intergalactic cantina...

He orders a large milk from one of the FBW, puts his feet up while gorging himself on the cream filled wonders.. ahhhh, now if only someone would scrape up the remains of the splattered Geo Head, this could be a right enjoyable morning,, he thinks to himself...As he starts to indulge in his daily LH dreams for the day, he sees the Kat dragging in a large pool talbe, now what is the old furry one up to now, he thinks as he continues to fill his frame with smooth tasty morsels. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Growltigga kicks saucer of milk over Mac (oops, sorry old timer) and finishes moving bar billiards table to corner of cantina.

Growltigga gives big sigh, opens a bottle of Laphroiag and down in one, followed by 6 bottles of 1692 Kentish bitter, as he worries about how the hell he is going to explain the rules of bar billiards to the Americans in the bar..

And as for trying to explain Bat "N" Trap, Pub Skittles and Whistle Miss Susie?? Growltigga reaches for the second bottle of Laphroiag and collapeses gently in the corner

In the corner of the bar, unnoticed at first, the headless body of Geo begins to twitch. Slightly at first, steadily increasing to the point of convulsions. Suddenly the body comes to life and bolts upright in the chair, and then stands.

The arms, which at first had been flailing about uncontrolably, now appear to be working to a purpose and begin tugging at the stubby neck remains of the previous head. A small protrubance begins to form at this point, quickly expanding upwards at outwards with a disgusting sound that is at once reminicent of flesh being torn, and the sound of a ballon being inflated.

This protrubance has the initial appearance of an formless creature struggling to escape from Geo's body via the neck. However it quickly takes form and becomes apparent that it is in fact a new head in the form of Geo's old head, only much smaller, almost comically so, in size. As the head continues to expand, it becomes apparent that it is covered in a slimy substance that drips occasionally on to Geo's upper body and the floor.

As the new head reaches a size appropriate for the body, at least as much as the previous Geo's head was, the face contorts as Geo's stretches the newly formed mucles. All in the bar at this point stare in rapt attention as Geo suddenly blurts out, "Man! That really stings!"

And with that Geo excuses himself to the restroom to clean up.
