All coffees, teas, juices and mineral waters available free of charge, along with an assortment of fine baked goods. The better newspapers and journals are here for your reading pleasure. Open 24 hours. Self-serve, but call me if you can't figure out how to operate some of the coffee makers. Drink in or take out.
Since I don't want to clutter up Legion World with a lot of signage, after today just say the word "caffeine" and you'll be transported here. It's magic.

Well it’s nearly breakfast time so I’ll just put the phone on hold and say …
“caffeine”
Mmmmm nice place. It seems a true oasis of peace and quiet amongst the hustle and bustle of Legion world. I like the comfy seats and the potted plants.
Let’s see now I think I’ll have a bacon butty, nice and crispy, with mushrooms and black pudding and a large cup of black coffee. Now how do we operate these machines?
Cramer can I have a bit of help here!

Guess I'll take another one to go and get back to work.

Well Cramer, this is quite lovely. The handmade doilies under the cake trays are a very homey touch.
I especially like the wide selection of fresh fruit and the omelette bar.
If you'd like I can send my droid Candy over here to help clean early each morning.

If so, I'll have decaffeinated French vanilla latte, with chocolate biscotti (I get all my caffeine from the chocolate, thanks). I don't need anything to read, thank you. In fact, I do some of my best writing in coffee shops.

I'll have another large iced chai and a bowl of those grits Stu is having but with butter and no cheese, please. Then its back to work for me.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Well, leave some of your writing behind HWW so everybody can enjoy it. Perhaps we could run off some copies at Triad's Triplicating Shop.
And just say "decaf" if you're feeling in need of calm. Both "caffeine" and "decaf" activate the magic portal.
I'm going to have to order another bushel of grits...

Morning Madame Cramer. You sure are keeping the place spotless and cheery with fresh cut flowers on every table. The aroma of brewing coffee is heavenly. I think I'm going to fix myself a mushroom and provolone omelette at the omelette bar. I'll also brew a pot of oolong tea.

I walked over, so I don't have to utter caffeine. Cafe Cramer is just down the street from SHAKES, although I do have to pass by SHAMELESS-HUSSIES bar. They reallly are rude in there. Nonetheless, I think I'll have the pork tenderloin with the madeira sauce. Cramer is so inspired with her menu.

Better bring that Zinfandel in a paper bag, Semi. The café isn't licensed!

Cramey, I'm currently looking to get Chomsky's newest book "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance", but I think I might just wait to borrow my friends. By the way, I went and saw Chomsky about two weeks ago, and I thought he was amazing. Not only is he amazingly intellegent, but I thought the best part of his talk was the way he truly believes that people can make a difference by getting involved in the political system if they took an active role. He was very inspirational, I wish I could get a lot of my friends to become more involved or at least educated in politics. His critiques on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle-East were very good and fresh. You'll have to excuse me, I feel very politically thoughtful in the mornings Posted by Cobalt Kid on :

What, nobody visited the Cafe all day? Are you all starving yourselves. I'm going to have some of Cramer's famous roast beastie with rosemary roasted potatoes for dinner. Perhaps a nice glass of Schulz-Oles Zinfandel would go nicely. (I may have spelled that wrong.) For desert, a persimmon sorbet.

Here on Winath, we just had a velvety coffeecake with a cream cheese layer inside, and lots of butter and powered sugar crumble on top, and two cups of cafe mocha coffee.
Later we're having spreads on crackers to cnack on before the big turkey dinner. Spreads are cheddar bacon, another is roquefort, and dad's favorite one is liverwurst pate'.
I'm cooking a 22 lb. hen turkey today, just for the four of us. I wanted to have plenty of leftovers to freeze for quick meals later.
Oh Cramer, just have to tell you I invented a new pie for this Thanksgiving. I'm calling it Winter Fruits Harvest pie. It has a mixture of mincemeat (Borden's from a jar) and apple pie filling, dried crasins, a can of pie cherries (with the juice, not jellied) and two cups of whole, fresh frozen blackberries. Mixed the lot and added one cup of sugar and a tablespoon of tapioca for texture. Can't wait to see if it is a hit or a miss! Also made traditional mincemeat, apple, and pumpkin pies.
I tend to get carried away at this time of year. I love cooking!! Always have.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
You're hired Caroline! Name your terms!
That pie sounds great - let us know how it turned out. I was never a big mincemeat fan, but mixed with other fruit fillings, it could be an unusually pleasant taste. Enjoy the feast!

Wow!! Does this mean I have an apprenticeship as a chef at Cafe Cramer? This is a real thrill! I will be happy to stop by as often as I can and help out in the kitchen. I'd do it just for the sheer love of the Legion, well and of cooking.
The pie turned out fantastic. Since I wasn't sure it would be good, I only baked one of the Winter Fruits Harvest Pie. Froze the second container and will bake it later.
Semi's sour cream apple pie sounded delicious also. Might just have to try one of those at Christmas.
Scott mixed an excellent cran-raspberry juice and ginger ale punch with orange rings in the glasses. It was perfect with the turkey.
Better get back to the dishes and then head off to bed. See you all in the morning.... Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Caroline, you sure don't need to apprentice. Just drop by and bake up a storm whenever you have the inclination. Everyone will appreciate it.
Semi, no one tosses day-old rolls around here. You are always an honored guest at the Café , thereby deserving nothing but fresh-from-the-oven to be hurled your way.
And for Varalent and anyone else, it looks like Caroline left us one of her delicious coffee cakes. Help yourselves!

Surely our wonderful friend Fat Cramer would be aghast and greatly saddened by this development and terrible misuse of her wonderful establishment.
In her honor, I hereby announce that SHAKES will immediately begin offering a FREE, all you can eat, all day/all night coffee bar and brunch menu. Dinners as always, can be enjoyed at the Starfield Lounge.

Café Cramer is once again open for normal business. All free coffee, tea, baked goods and light meals. Thank you to all friends and customers for your support and understanding.
Varalent, I went to SHAKES and took the coffee machines back. Good of you to fill the free-coffee gap in my absence. You're a true friend.
You'd think I would have dropped a few pounds from all that evil possession stuff, but no such luck. So might as well have some croissants.

Just went outside again, sooooooooo freezing! I might need a cup of coffee real quick! I'm gonna be real cold tonight when I go out, especially since Wednesday is the designated night for me and my bro to go out drinking!
Posted by STU on :
Wednesday night is a good night to curl up with a hot chocolate and a stack of new comics... Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Is there a fireplace at Cafe Cramer?
Posted by STU on :
Sure! I use it to roast marshmallows for my s'mores, when it's too cold to start a fire outside.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
The fireplace is roaring this morning, only slightly louder than the wind outside. It is so cold, I made something substantial for breakfast. Blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, back bacon, biscuits, hash browns - and of course, the usual range of grab-it-and-run baked goods.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Oh yeah, the perfect breakfast after being thrown out of Shakes for being underage... Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Help yourself, IB, but I reckon you might want something cold and refreshing - so I added a fruit salad. Can't forget the palm tree set!

Just the way to start the day. Well with a large Cuppa Joe and some OJ to wash it all down.

Hmm... not bad for a first visit. I'll take raspberry pancakes with some chilled lemonade (no ice) please Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
A nice cup of Coffee and some pigs in a blanket are the best way to kill this hangover today...
FC, have we told you lately how much we love you?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Even colder this morning - so I really cranked up the fireplace and set up a few fans to circulate the warm air. All the usual comestibles and beverages available.
Saw my dentist yesterday and she was making a few pointed remarks about how much coffee I must drink.... better start hitting those herbal teas.

I have a doctos appoinyment this morning to finish off my holiday jabs and I had a very late one last night so need an extra strong and sweet expresso today...
many thanks FC, this place is a life saver!

Ohhh! Nice and warm here FC, thanks! I've missed my morning coffee so it's nice to be back.

A cup o' joe should get me started on this nice afternoon...

Caffeine! Can't have myself falling asleep in class now, can i?

Caffeine.
Man, I haven't been in here in an age.
Cool, the cold pizza I stashed is still here. Mmmm...old anchovies....
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Still super cold, so I installed a woodstove. The fireplace is still going 'cause it looks so inviting, but we seemed to need some extra heat.
Hot gingerbread muffins just coming out of the oven. I am officially decaffeinated, after 5 days of light misery, but there's plenty of the hard stuff brewed for anyone needing that wake-up fix. Fresh ground!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Still freezing outside, but now with snow covering the side walks!
Time for a cup o' joe!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Caffeine.
Pardon me while I just snag a croissant or twelve. Thanks.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Miner, you're burning the midnight oil! I better put on extra coffee for the night owls here.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I think I'll have a large BLT, with lots of ketchup and some lemonade?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I need a cup of coffee for today...still cold enough to make me tired all day...
Posted by Space Ranger on :
Caffeine!
Just the ticket, a nice hot Cuppa Joe and a few (dozen?) hot banana nut muffins!
Truth and Justice shall Prevail! (on a full stomach)
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Some hot soup would be nice. Cream of mushroom, I think, with lots of crunchy croutons and a sprinkling of bacon bits.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Some hot coffee is just what I need for this cold morning. Oh, and a day off from work, which I have every Thursday Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
With a big snow storm outside, a cup of coffee is just the thing for a mid-Sunday afternoon!
Posted by Beagz on :
Ooooooooohhhh ......... A hot, steaming cup of coffee sounds GREAT!!!!!
Maybe even spiked with hot chocolate!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Hot chocolate sounds just about right.
And half a bagel with some garlic hummus as a snack.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Hot chocolate, definitely. And some lasagna.
Posted by STU on :
I'll have some hot chocolate, half a bagel with garlic hummus, lasagna, and a bacon sandwich.
To go, please.

Hi FC! You have no idea how much I've missed your Cafe in the morning!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
You have no idea we've missed you!
And this afternoon I'll have a cup of coffee (black) to get rejuvenated after work!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Hey Varalent! Glad you could stop by. We now have two competent and lovely young women, Sara and Anne, working here (at least that's what I read in Cobie's "Price of Security" story.
Stu had to go and mention a bacon sandwich! Last time someone did that, I had bacon on the brain for 3 days, then finally went and bought some for BLTs.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Yeah, I really like the two sisters who work here now, Sara and Anne! Very cute and very reliable
Anne and I get along just fine , and I think Sara has a pretty big crush on Invisible Brainiac, but you didn't hear that from me...
Posted by STU on :
Hee hee.
I think someone should open up a bacon boutique on LW -- along the lines of chocolatte, it would have an exotic and alluring name.
Maybe: baconne... Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Really? Sara likes me?
(quickly grabs comb, mirror and hair gel, and runs to the nearest rest room.)
(Emerges three hours later with meticulously styled hair, and smelling of cologne, with newly whitened teeth.)
(The inside of the restroom is now covered with tissue paper, and the mirrors cannot be seen anymore because of all the hair gel slopped onto them.)
So, where IS Sara, anyway?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
She's behind the counter IB! But her sister told me she's shy (unlike her sister ), so be slow with her .
Baconne ? Could this be another genius idea Stu? Maybe the two of us could open up a whole chain of these types of places, that only open at specific times during the week?
We have to make sure that we don't take away business from Cafe Cramer though (I like it here!). Maybe a late night diner of some sort...?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
"Baconne" would be a great take-out - people could bring the chow to the Café and eat it here.
Invisible Brainiac - better get back to the washroom and clean up that mess, pronto!
Posted by Varalent on :
Maybe they could deliver right to your table at Cafe Cramer! That would be great!
Posted by Varalent on :
Caffeine!
Good morning FC! Hot cup of coffee is just what I need this morning. Thanks!

The Meat thread's gotten me a bit a bit hungry. Think I'll just whip a bacon and pepperoni sandwich with some honey mustard. And a hot chocolate.
Posted by Varalent on :
Ohhh, hot chocolate sounds good!
Posted by STU on :
Hot chocolate with essence of bacon...
Posted by Varalent on :
Uhhhhhhh.....okay! Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
There are flavored drinks and then there are......flavored drinks.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
How do you liquefy bacon? Or do you just add bacon bits?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Liquid Smoke. (Seriously, I've never tried it but there's a product to give a smoky taste to dishes without adding the smoked meat product.)
Coffee with a bit of smoky bacon flavouring would give it that campfire taste. I made a pot - it's in the carafe with the smiling pig.
Posted by Varalent on :
Thanks Cramer! Got me a hot mug and a croisssant. I'm all set! Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
But I never eat bacon without ketchup...
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
I prefer my bacon plain.
But I like my eggs with plenty of Tobasco and ketchup.
Speaking of which.....
Posted by STU on :
I'm going to have a delicious stack of blueberry muffins and ...
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Suddenly I have a craving for some spaghetti, with lots of meatballs and a large helping of cheese on top.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
What's to read here? A great cafe like Cramer's must have an excellent selection of world newspapers. What's everyone's favorite? Personally, I like the liberal bent of the Toronto Star.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
The Saturday Globe & Mail is okay - at least it takes more than 5 minutes to read it, even if it's not on my wavelength. Same with the Sunday New York Times.
Of course, we have a full range of international papers and a wide variety of other publications. Right now I'm going through back issues of Resurgence magazine, published in England.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Well, I'll have a nice cup of coffee and check out some of this radical/liberal magazines over here...
Posted by Varalent on :
Hmmm, I think I'll sit and read a bit myself while I enjoy some of Cramer's delicious coffee. Maybe this copy of the Weekly Standard since no one else seems to be interested in it. Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
I'll have a glass of milk and a Biscotti. Oh, and a copy of the Weekly World News.
Posted by STU on :
Don't mind me; I'm just sitting in the corner with a whiskey and a well-worn copy of Playsentient...

Thank you. Posted by Varalent on :
Ummm! Smell that fresh brewed coffee. The better picker upper!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Some more hot chocolate for me, with lots of marshmallows and a nice big cheeseburger, please.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
A cup of coffee is just what I need this morning, especially after sleeping well past noon!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Been up since 4 AM for no good reason. I need to relax with some cold anchovy pizza and a copy of MOJO.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
I'm up at 4 AM every morning. It's good for the soul. Of course, I don't last much past 9 PM... now that I'm only drinking decaffeinated, I actually sleep less. Caffeine was poisoning me.
Anyways, here's your pizza. You like that just cold or on ice?
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Just cold, thanks.
I'm normally up at 5 AM to get to work and this does not seem to have done much for my soul.
In honor of your lifestyle change, should we stop using "caffeine" as the entry word?
Posted by STU on :
quote:Originally posted by Outdoor Miner: I'm normally up at 5 AM to get to work ...
Wretched, indeed.
(I'm not what one would call a "morning person.")
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Don't you get up early too Stu? Caroline and I are up at 4:00 am to be to work by 5:30. But I need my caffeine since I usually stay up past midnight every night.
Posted by STU on :
On occasion, I do have to get up really early, but I sure as hell ain't happy about it. And I generally let everyone know all morning long how unhappy I am. Posted by Fat Cramer on :
"Caffeine" is still the entry word, in honor of my 35-year love affair with that drug of choice. Besides, decaf still has some caffeine.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Caffeine, then. I could sure use some in the next few days... I can't believe we're required to submit projects in even Phys Ed, Math and Chinese Lit! *grumble grumble grumble* What a way to spend the next two weeks in preparation for the school fair...
Sorry 'bout that, hope I'm not spoiling the happy atmosphere here at Cafe Cramer.
Posted by STU on :

Sounds more like the school unfair to me...!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I get up at 6:00 a.m. to do my work-out and get to work by 8:45 a.m. I'd like to sleep in later and I could, but then I'd have to do the work out after work -- and I would absolutely hate that. I'm a morning person, I guess. I generally go to bed at 10:00 p.m.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Special this week, for all the early risers (willing and unwilling): Blue Mountain coffee @ $76 a pound! Free to LW members, of course.
I just read that our Governor General, Adrienne Clarkson, buys this variety every week. Free to her, of course. We taxpayers supply it.
Go first class or stay on the farm (or the DC Boards) is my motto. Nothing but the best for the best, and that's all of you.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
$76 a pound? That must be the most expensive coffee in the world. Sure beats my $7.99 a pound Safeway esspresso or my $10.99 Peets coffee (when I splurge). How do I get her job?
Posted by STU on :

Maybe it's $76 Cdn. Posted by Abin Quank on :
Caffeine!
Blue Mountain? at that price it should be Solid Gold Mountain!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Cramey, that Blue Mountain coffee is delicious! I love getting expensive stuff for free, just one of the reasons I work security !
And IB, that sounds like your next two weeks are not going to be the most fun at school...we'll be thinking of you!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Not just no fun at school, but pretty soon no fun at home either, since they're all going to be spilling into OUR personal time... Once all the topics are announced, we're gonna have to knuckle down just to finish all of them in time... Thank goodness staistics and Math are out of the way! That only leaves Chemistry, Filipino, Phys Ed (I still can't believe this one...), Chinese Lit., History, the play we have to put on and the two booths we have to plan for and man. And all within the next two weeks...
Thanks, Cobie. Sigh... I think I'll have a large dose of caffeine after I get what might be the last good night's rest I have in a while. Sorry for the moaning, guys. Hope I'll still be able to check back here every day. Oh well, least summer vacation's coming up soon. Posted by Stoopid Cat on :

Cafés have traditionally been locales of political plotting and rebellion....

Hi, everyone! I know I've felt a little distanced from the good people I serve.

It'll all be over soon IB, and then you can settle down for a nice cup of coffee and some relaxation like FC!
Speaking of which, I'll have another cup of coffee, although I feel pretty bad about the green slime left in my wake...I can't have Abin cleaning up after me all day long. I think I'm going to have to really figure out a way to change myself back since Stu can't do it...
Abin, can you change me back? Maybe the LMBP Spectre? I guess I can have Doctor One re-shrink me some I'm not a Giant Amoeba anymore too...

Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Hm... I wonder if Fat Cramer will approve of all the Shameless Hunk-eating going on around here?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Fat Cramer just looks the other way and is pleased that people are enjoying themselves. And each other.
Still, "Shameless Hunk" sounds like a great name for a sandwich.

Aaaaah... It feels so good to relax in Cafe Cramer, doesn't it? This is one of the places that really spells "home" for me.

IB, you're a regular here. I think I'll put you in charge of... something! Baked good inventory control? Reading material subscriptions? Keeping the woodstove going?
Posted by Abin Quank on :
Caffiene!
Hi Cramey. I just dropped by to grab a quick cuppa and see if your brother is here. That cat is sometimes more trouble than he's worth. Now he's running around looking for a smoke filled room so he can learn to be a real politician. Posted by Fat Cramer on :
He was here and "borrowed" $50 off me - said he had a hot date and scooted out the kitchen door. I was always a sucker for that cat.
Posted by Abin Quank on :
Hmmm... Borrowed $50 from you and his box of catnip is gone...
Guess I better check the Security Office, if he's not locked up yet, it won't be long...

Jinx! What a pleasure to see you! Sit down and have a bowl of tuna cakes.

Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Wow, nothing like seeing my favorite felines all having a quick snack together!
I think a cup of coffee is what I need to keep the blood flowing...and some relaxation in the post-election scandal world.
(And this new underground "Alternative to Capitalism" book should be nice too...)
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
"Alternative to Capitalism"? I don't think we've even tried real capitalism yet. Of course, the Café is a true alternative to capitalism. And the coffee's always fresh and hot.
Posted by Varalent on :
And that's just what I'm looking for FC! A cup of coffee, fresh and hot! Um Ummm!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
FC, I'll be glad to help out here at the Cafe! Consider me your new errand boy!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Okay IB - run over to Sara's house with this chicken pot pie, please.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
And behave yourself young man! (Pst, take your time, I'll cover for you ). Give my best to Anne!
And I think a nice cup of coffee is just what I need at mid-day today...
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
FC and Cobie, you rock!
I won't be back for a while, though... I'm taking Sara to an amusement park to celebrate the first day of summer vacation!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
**sniff** They grow up so fast....
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Were any of us ever that young once...?
Next thing you know he'll want to borrow the keys to the cruiser or try to replace the silver ale with bono-juice...
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Oh, right... the cruiser...
Um... You know that dent on the door? That really BIG dent? Well, it wasn't caused by a stray magno-ball...
Posted by Varalent on :
Ahh, smell that wonderful freshbrewed scent! Just what I crave at the moment. Good morning my fair lady Cramer. How are you today?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Caffeine!
Nothing like a coffee from Cafe Cramer to get the week started right...
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Caffeine!
I could use some. I spent the last two days in an amusement park, and now I'm nicely suntanned and I'm all tired out... But it sure was fun. Posted by Varalent on :
Feel free to take a nap at the Villa, IB! All that fun sure can tire you out! Posted by Fat Cramer on :
It's usually quiet here on the weekends. People come and go, nobody's in a big rush - time for some blueberry buttermilk pancakes. And a dose of caffeine to jump start the mind.
Posted by Varalent on :
Blueberry buttermilk pancakes sound wonderful! Are there any left to have my my dose of caffeine, FC?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
How about some chocolate chip cookies? I chocolate chip cookies!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Caffeine! I don't know about you all, but as the weather warms up, my addiction to coffee does not seem to wane in the least...
Posted by Varalent on :
Repeat after me coffee is not addictive, I just can't get enough! Coffee is not addictive, I just can't ...
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Coffee addictive? I can stop anytime. Anytime soon. Maybe next week.
In the meantime, a nice pot of arabica to start the weekend.

That darn Royal Inquisitor is trying to make a deal by turning state's evidence.

Attention all Alt-IDs: You are always welcome at the Café. Linzer Torte and chocolate cheesecake available this week, in addition to our standard fine baked goods.
Posted by Space Ranger on :
Good afternoon FC, It's been far too long since I have been here to partake of your fine comestibles. Oh, and while I'm here your brother asked me to pass along a message; He said to tell you that he hasn't been as comfortable anywhere as he is at DR. K. Nine's since the last time you two went to Atlantic City. I hope that eases your mind somewhat.

A nice cup of joe would be great right now!
FC, I was hoping to talk to you. Tell me about Queen Connie and what you know about her? Is she friendly, or is she a threat to Legion World?
She's arrived at a strange point at Legion World, and has been sucked right into the tension of the alt ID craziness. It almost appears that there is a secret war going on between Alt ID's and felines? Do you know anything about this...?

Ah, I've missed Cafe Cramer. Always a delight to spend the day here.

A nice cup of joe will do right now!
It seems that Space Ranger and the Inquisitor are lying low...I wonder if the LW felines will come back out now?
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
I may not be a true feline, but I sure can purr, will that do, Cobalt?

What a great morning to savor a smooth cup of FC's finest brew. Posted by Abin Quank on :

Some cold chocolate, please, the summer heat's been terrible lately.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Thanks for reminding me IB - time to order the coffee syrup for iced cappucinos.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I'll have a dozen of those, please!
Want me to pick up the syrup for you?
I'll gladly take the car!

Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Okay, here's the keys to the car and $200. Just be back by Monday morning and don't forget the coffee syrup.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Oh, thanks! You don't mind if I invite a friend along, will you? Those long drivs can get pretty boring if you're alone.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Of course not! Better you have some company. In fact, here's another $200 - go enjoy yourselves.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Thanks, FC, you're the greatest!
No wonder LW's second statue is of you!

Well since you're back with the syrup, maybe I can finally have that iced capuccino I've been craving! Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Comfort food.
After today's Legion news, I've got a hankerin' for some good old fashioned comfort food.
So you'll excuse me if I just dive into this plate of hot Krispy Kremes.

Whew! I'm glad to see Vee and Faraway wandering around this morning! Thought I might be manning the Last Post here. Hope I didn't overorder the coffee syrup.

Caffeine!
Ah, a nice cup of joe on a warm early summer day is always pleasant...

Posting twice in a row? Some of my best conversations have been with myself.
Enjoy the coffee & don't worry about it!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Well, it occured to me one day that I don't like posting twice in a row b/c I don't like talking to myself in a public forum. But after listening to FC's advice, I don't think that it's going to bother me anymore!
In the meantime, a cup of coffee will be a nice start to the day--even though it's one in the afternoon Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Caffeine!
I could use a cup of cofee after spending the afternoon studying knots and Morse code!

Caffeine!
Wow, seems that only a few regulars have been stopping in here recently. Hopefully a few others will come by to see all the good reading material and the selection of beverages...
Posted by Future on :
Caffeine! I've visited once before, but I think I'll stop by more often thanks to Cramer's wonderful shop.
Speaking of knots and morse code, IB, I just spent my entire Tuesday night helping boy scouts relearn their own knot skills. Phew. We should chat over java sometime about our roping woes.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Iced coffee, iced cappuccino and iced tea now available. Straws offered for those who wish to keep practicing their knotwork.
Personally, I never use anything but a bowline and a reef knot.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Bowlines I have no problem with, but I'd rather forget about ropes altogether.
So, Future, how about an iced cappuccino on me?
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
Caffeine
Wow its ages since I had the time to drop in.
Cramer m'lady you're looking as lovely as ever.
We are having such nice sunny weather over here I could just fancy a nice long iced mocha and a few minutes to read the paper. Do you know if my normal chair is still available?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Caffine.
WOW. There are people here, unlike the other establishments. Whoda thunk it?
Lemonade, no ice if you please Posted by Future on :
Caffeine indeed.
IB, that iced cappucino sounds good to me. Thanks to you for the invite and to Ms. Cramer for supplying them! As for ropes, I'm happy just tying a piece of string...which I should constantly do around my finger. I have such a bad memory...I even forgot Legion came out last month. Hoo boy.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Caffeine.
I think an old-fashioned Chocolate Coke would be just the thing right now.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Old-fashioned chocolate Coke is new to me - but it's probably tasty with chocolate cicadas.
HWW, your chair is always available for you. Just push the dog out and brush off the cushion.
Future & IB, nice to see you here. Is that Cat's Cradle you're playing?
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
The adage, "let sleeping dogs lie" comes to mind ...

It's just a regular ol' Coke with just enough chocolate syrup to be noticeable. It used to be a regular thing at burger joints all around the country, but I've only a few that still do it today.
I can't eat those little cicada guys. We have too much in common. We're both devilishly handsome, we both like to make music, and we both only see action about once every seventeen years.

I'll drink to that.
Wait, wrong thread. Sorry, sorry.
I mean, I'll relax to a nice warm cup of cocoa to that.

Chicken & vegetable soup here.

The Café will be open 24/7 for the duration of this election period.
All candidates, managers, supporters and opposers are welcome to help themselves to hot & cold drinks as well as the usual variety of light meals and baked goods.
I leave the Café in your capable hands since I will be absent until June 27th. Fortunately, I was able to purchase some of those nano-cleaners from Mr. Giffen, so the place should stay nice and tidy.
Not responsible if they eat anybody.
Posted by Future on :
Thank you so much for your extended hours, Cramer! The cafe is one of the best LWorld hang-outs, and I'll definitely be awaiting the election results here if the nano-cleaners don't mind.
We'll be missing you while you're gone! Come back safe, Cramer.

Oh dear, was Hrun in here unsupervised? I thought we were doing so well in our how-to-hold-a-teacup lessons... he might have broken a few things by accident, but I suspect the real damage is from those Gil'dishpans. They've had a grudge against me since I made fun of their cousins, the Brain Globes of Rambat. And you know what caffeine does to a Gil'dishpan...
Thanks for helping to clean up guys. At least we can stay open while the rest of the mess gets sorted out. I'll make some extra-strength coffee this morning.

No kidding! I'll take a gallon of your strongest please.

Got any blueberries and a Diet-Rite Raspberry soda?

What a shame that such a Gil'Dishpan disaster would happen here at Cramer's humble establishment!
Let me clean off the windows for you to help things ease back into order. It's the least I can do for the extra-strength coffee!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Glad to see this place is all cleaned up. I hate coming in to a mess. Several days now, I've had to clean up debris and repair random acts of destruction at SHAKES after the ever-lovin' but yet-to-be house-trained Hrun has stopped in for a glass or twelve of mead.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
He's our barbarian, and we love him.
Still, it took some extra-strength iced java to get through today. I'm buzzing, I'll admit it.
Lots of blueberries arriving now, Semi. Highbush or wild? And I make the diet raspberry soda myself, with fresh raspberries. Limited time only, I'm afraid. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Thanks Cramer, you're virtually the best.
Posted by Future on :
Is it possible to do anything but enjoy the food and specials here, Cramer?
Everything is made or baked to perfection!
It's a nice day. We should all eat outside on the sidewalk and enjoy it.

Perhaps Queen Connie will be taking up my offer to seek refuge her while those barbarian parties are going on at the villa. Hrun is well meaning, but he does have a taste for fur fashion accessories.
I'll just wait here and see what develops, with a bowl of café au lait and some cinnamon rolls.

However I don't think barbarians fall into any of the suspect classifications (although an argument could be made for race or national origin), so all FC needs is a rational reason for the discrimination.

We are in the process of renovating to accommodate barbarians, which requires us to widen the doors and buy sturdier chairs. These renovations will be completed by Thursday morning, at which time barbarians will be welcome to enjoy the interior premises of the Café. These changes are being made for the benefit of barbarians and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
In the meantime, please feel free to water the plants at Shameless Hussies, two doors down.
Posted by Future on :
:lol: Ouch 'Binger, ouch. That's too funny.
Cramer, very kind of you to go through so much renovating for Hrun! Do you need any help with the supplies purchasing or in the kitchen until all goes back to normal?
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'm thinking of just banning all barbarians from SHAKES - they just cause too much damage. And the smell after they leave -- well the only good thing I can say about it is that it has driven out the rats. I might ask the Emerald Empress to cast a repulsion spell that keeps Barbarians out. I don't really care if it is discrimination. Just let the space lawyers have their day.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I still say... if he's not really Glorith as an alt-ID, he MUST be in league with those evil little Gil'Dishpan runts.
Posted by Future on :
Surely Hrun's just had a few...dozen...mishaps around Legion World.
Besides, Cramer's is such a great establishment! I'd hate to pick a fight with this place and its loyal customers. I know I'd be out there fighting for this place!
Anyway, how're things lately, FC?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
It's been a week without any further damage, so it looks like we're safe... for now. I hope Miss Terious will alert me if she foresees any more attacks on the Café!
Lots of iced drinks available for these hot days, along with the usual extra-strong coffee for traditionalists & die-hards.

The Café is now an axe-free zone. Please leave all axes at the door. If you have any questions, talk to my space lawyer, Quislet, esq.
I hope barbarians and other customers will continue to enjoy the premises, particularly the newly-enlarged entrance and the take-out window.

Appearing in a flash of brilliant emerald light, the Empress appears in the center of the Cafe and notices the damage. With a nod towrds the Eye, the Empress causes a flash of green to repair the damaged wall.
He's been here, I see, but gone. Well, he won't be able to avoid me for long!
And with that, she disappears in an emerald burst.

Hm, I wonder what the Empress is all upset about?
Did you see how cute her behind looks when she gets all serious though?
In the meantime, I'll just have a cup of coffee and enjoy reading this underground horror magazine in the corner...

I love coming to Cafe Cramer. It's always so clean and homey and smells so good - cinamon and fresh bread baking. I'm just go to realax and catch up on today's edition of LW news.
Posted by Future on :
Every day I come back in it's a relief to find the place and the rest of the board in one piece! Glad to see some precautions are being taken, FC!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Thanks, Empress! That wall would have been costly to repair without your help.
As a token of my gratitude, I'll be offering customers a special blend of the very highest quality coffee beans, to be called "Empress Special Blend".

Now has anyone seen a pussy I can chase? After I have a large glass of mead that is"

Will that be decaffeinated mead?

Decaf sounds good for me as well.
Hrun, as you know, I'm not above a pussy hunt myself... but maybe we should let out newest feline member, Whizzy, get acclimated first?
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
Hrun wants full caffein mead........Erm Please?
Sits down but soon many customers notice a decided cat poo smell about him and start to move away.

The TIGER GOD AVATAR enters the cafe and begins to smoooothly move around sniffing the various tables and booths.

I might as well grab a coffee while I'm here. Might as well add something a bit stronger too...

I'll be enjoying my usual. Black coffee.

Only on days that end in "Y"
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
I want a coffee, but I'm afraid of what might be it.

The coffee here contains whatever you desire to be in it. It can be as strong or weak as you like. No nasty surprises.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
...Unless you ask nicely.
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
Gross, I'll just take a regular.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
sorry.
sometimes I just can't help myself.

I've put out a bowl of Frosted Flakes and a litre of high-octane for the Tiger God Avatar - not sure which Tiger he's emulating.

A cup o' joe, black, as usual will get me started! I've never been much for breakfast food, although I can't turn down bacon, sausage, steak or pastrami no matter what time of day it is...
Posted by Future on :
Mmm...bacon!
Sounds like I'm going to have to spend some time at the Cafe now this morning; I'm hungry!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Looks like we're back on the bacon binge...
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
<crunch>
I never left...
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
didja ever notice... bacon and raspberry jam on a toasted plain bagel tastes like you're eating something with barbecue sauce.
Try it! it's good!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
That's a new one on me, but it sounds pretty good, barbecue sauce taste or no.
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
I'll try anything if you mention sauce, though it will put me in the gym for a week.
Posted by Future on :
I'll keep my bacon plain for now; you other taste testers let me know how the BBQ taste goes!
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
Quite the daredevil, very exciting, but I agree, I just got my taste buds back from a binge on Hot Tamales.
Posted by Varalent on :
Happy B'Day FC!
Posted by Future on :
Yes, happy birthday!
Get out from behind the counter! You deserve a nice day off today; we'll watch the Cafe for you.
Posted by Varalent on :
Absoposilutely! I'll send some of our server droids over from SHAKES to keep everything stocked and the coffee brewing and I'll post a couple of my Varagian Spearman at the door to make sure no "unauthorized" axe throwiing occurs.
Hmmm...think I'll have a cup of your wonderful coffee while I'm here. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Happy B-Day FC!
Why don't you let *me* get you something?
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Isn't it amazing how FC keeps the place open even on her birthday. Hopefully she won't have to show up since the Cafe seems to virtually run itself.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Well, I like to be here - and there's this huge birthday cake to polish off...
Posted by Future on :
Let's make the cafe as the official birthday party place for its wonderful founder, Fat Cramer!
Here Cramey, let me get you a plate and utensils so you can have the first piece of cake!
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
That's one huge cake.
I humbly offer whatever assistance I can provide towards finishing it off. Wouldn't want it to go to waste, now.
Oh, and I declare it Fat Cramer Day. I think I can do those.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Perhaps you'd like some of the champagne I brought over to celebrate the lady's birthday, OM.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Certainly.
But just a glass. I want to make sure she has a chance to actually try some.

Here's to ya, FC!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Cheers to that!
Posted by Future on :
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Hey guys, we should be careful. I don't know that Cafe Cramer has a liquor license. We wouldn't want to cause her any trouble with the authorities by over-doing it.
Posted by Future on :
Good point. Perhaps we can get a graemlin of Invisible Kid and Brainy 'cheering' bagels together for use here at the cafe?

Good thinking as usual, Semi.
I'll take care of the evidence.
<chugs>
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
That was great champagne, Semi! And so much! Glad everybody enjoyed it. Don't worry about the liquor licence - I have a space-lawyer on retainer to handle all those operational details.
Back to coffee this morning - ever reliable, ever appreciated caffeine.
Posted by Future on :
Coffee sounds good.
Let me push all these tables apart from last night's birthday party so all will be back to normal.
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
We'll now that everything is situated, I'll take a coffee and through in a bagel.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
A Blueberry Cake donut and a glass of milk for me.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Time for a refreshing diet soda (with splenda) please.
Posted by Future on :
A nice croissant sounds good right now.
Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :
You put splenda in your coke, your diet coke?
Oh...um...I'll have a...ahh...Hot Chocolate.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Cold lemonade (no ice), please.
Posted by Space Ranger on :
Caffeine!!
Let's see here... Yep Cramer does have Foot Long Chili-Sauerkraut Bratwurst Specials. No Michelob chasers but ya can't have everything...
Truth and Justice shall Prevail! (A dozen or two should do the trick)
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Ranger, it's morning. Maybe some buckwheat pancakes with fresh wild blueberries, back bacon, scambled eggs and hash browns would suit you?
If you're still hungry, the luau and the barbecue should be serving soon.
Posted by Future on :
Page 2 for the Cafe? This simply won't do.
A little bump to get FC and her wonderful establishment a bit more attention.
Posted by Lurking Violet on :
It's my first time in the cafe. It smells like heaven. If it's not too much trouble, could i have a blueberry muffin and a frappeccino (i missed dinner)?

Are the naked ladies here to, if so, I'll have a coffee...to go.
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
KGZ Naked? I only know of semi naked ladies, but if you have seen some with less clothing than that can you point me in the right direction?

Everyone knows that you can just go to Cobalt's place, everyone's naked over there.

When your right, your right!

Remind me not to sit on your furniture anymore, Cobes.

It's usually okay Miner. The plastic wipes off prettty easily. Still, I wouldn't try to sit down the last couple of days before "hose down day". *shudder*

Posted by Tiffany Spiffany on :
*giggle*. Glad to see this place is still open! Did Cramer ever win her campaign for leader?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
She dropped out of the race when she was the clear favorite to win. She likes to keep us on our toes!
Posted by Tiffany Spiffany on :
I knew she was too nice to be in politics!
Posted by STU on :
Is the cafe open at this hour? I'm feeling in the mood for a bacon sandwich.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
It's always the perfect time for a bacon sandwhich.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
The management would like to thank everyone for their continued patronage, thank the barbarians for continuing to leave axes at the door, and respectfully request that all patrons continue to wear some clothing when in the café.
Posted by Loser Lad on :
Does a lampshade on my head and a strategically placed tassle count as "some clothing"? If not let me know and I'll run back to the cruiser and change.

If you don't have any clothes in there Lou, you can wear mine.

But like any great actress you rolled with it and the show went on! You're a pro KGZ!

Um, yeah, no problem. Really. Any time... Posted by KinetixgreenZoe on :

Heck Cru, you have more LMBP posts than anybody except maybe Lash. You kept the LMBP alive and massively posting all the way through the crisis of near-infinite message boards. -heh heh- How many of those small MB's did you set up during the wandering years?

Could I please have a mug of your strongest coffee , FC?
Time to start cleaning up the mess left by Mean Jeanne at the Villa.
Posted by Future on :
Let me put on my walking ring, Vee, and I'll be over to help with clean-up as fast as I can!
Posted by HighPriestessViviane on :
I can help as well, I'll justtake that Elixir to go.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
We'll just postpone the peace talks between Abin & Cobie, since Abin never showed up anyways, and send everybody over to the Villa to help out.

And a finer thread couldn't have been picked!
Don't worry about Abin and me, FC. I hope he'll come around, b/c the peace offer will be there.
In the meantime, I'll have a cup of joe and then go help Vee.
Posted by ViolentViolet on :
Whose Vee, why does he need help, and if it's important, I can lend you a few hours.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Highlighted??
I suppose a big all-day breakfast spread is in order. Dig in, folks!
Posted by matlock on :
Whoo, ham and cheese omelette! Pancakes! Hash Browns! Bacon! I'm in heaven. FC knows how to make a happy matlock.
Posted by Future on :
Wow, what a great treat to see the Cafe highlighted! Long time in coming, too!
You run a fine establishment, Cramer. Thanks so much for the breakfast! It was great.
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
CRASH!! SPLINTER!! THUD!!
Hrun stands looking in surprise at the door hanging in his hand. The door frame is already on the floor and a huge hole opens up in the wall.
bonk!
A brick falls on his head.
Hrun slowly scratches his head and then steps forward.
"Sorry it just came off in my hand"
Posted by matlock on :
Doggone it Hrun! I was just coming back for seconds.
Posted by Trysexual Girl on :
I've been so busy all day I thought I'd missed out on Cramey's great food. Luckily she's running an all-day buffet.
Breakfast is one of my favorite dinners. I'll have some cheesy grits, 2 crispy strips of bacon, and a stack of blueberry pancakes with strawberry syrup. YUM! Posted by HighPriestessViviane on :
When I think of Cafe Cramer, I think of the Cheers theme songs..."where everybody knows your alt."
Could I have a Boba?
Posted by matlock on :
Gee, from highlighted to deserted just like that. Well, I'm here for my usual pot of coffee.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
And I'll grab a cup from it as usual.
I see that door will need repairing...at least it doesn't look like Hrun meant it...
Posted by matlock on :
Yeah, otherwise I'd have had to cite him for it.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Weren't you retiring soon, Matlock? Have another cup of coffee and tell me about your pension problems.
Posted by matlock on :
You know how it is... everytime I think I'm done there's a sequel. One of these days I'm getting out of this rat race though.
Posted by Vee on :
Page 2 is unacceptable!
I'll have a fresh cup of FC's Fabulous Java, please (Oooh, and maybe one of those crullers!)
Posted by STU on :

The thing about the rat race is... even if you win, you're still a rat!

Croissants! Those sound like the ticket this morning.

Scones, thank you, cranberry and apple preferably.

Double Chocolate Muffin with extra butter, please.
Posted by matlock on :
Just stopping by for the afternoon pot. It's been a long day.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
There's still birthday cake leftover - help yourselves.
Here's an interesting historical tidbit: in the mid-1930s, coffee was in short supply in Germany. People were so unhappy with this that Goebbels saw fit to address the nation on the subject, strongly berating them for complaining about the lack of coffee. (Of course, it would only get worse....)
Posted by HighPriestessViviane on :
Mmm...cake, I'll take a slice.
Posted by matlock on :
Mmm, cake for breakfast. Thanks FC!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Goebbels didn't really have much of a sense of humor I'm told.
For me, coffee as usual.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'll have a cup of the "Resistance Brew" please.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
An old favorite, Semi!
Posted by Abin Quank on :
Caffeine!
I need a lot of hot black coffee this morning!
Cleaning up the strange black gook that seems to be seeping out of every corner of LW is going to take some time...
At least the Café doesn't seem to have been invaded by it (yet).
Posted by Vee on :
quote:Originally posted by matlock: Mmm, cake for breakfast. Thanks FC!
Reminds me of the Bill Cosby monologue regarding raising his children and feeding them chocolate cake for breakfast. If you've never heard it, (or seen it on HBO) it's worth the effort to track it down. Posted by The Red Bee on :
A nice hearty breakfast is always the best way to start the day!
Bacon and eggs for me, I think.

Hi everyone. Just wanted some breakfest for dinner. Yum!

A nice mushroom and jalapeno omelet couldn't hurt right about now.
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
Hrun smashes door (again)
Takes three bags of coffee, two silver pots and throws one of the serving girls over his shoulder heads off into the wilds.
Posted by matlock on :
Okay Hrun, you can go tear-*ssing around Legion World all you want but when you start busting up Cramer's, you've crossed the line.
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
Throws axe at Matlock.
Remember to look under the seat of your car for a few days before you retirement.
The Barbarians know where you live
Posted by matlock on :
Ah, you're to sodden with mead to hit the broadside of a barn. Consider this axe confiscated. It might make a nice plowshare.
What level is the Legion World smithy located at?
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
"Come mighty Hrothgar"
and the axe, together with Matlocks car fly back towards Hrun. Just as the trunk explodes matlock manages to escape, open the door, and roll free.
As the axe destroys the security car, Matlock climbs to his feet. He is just in time to see the axe return to Hruns outstreached hand.
"Mead is a wonderful drink old man"
Posted by matlock on :
"You played right into my plans, barbarian simpleton!"
As the axe reaches Hrun's strangely dainty little-girl hands, he notices the concussion grenade duct-taped to the handle.
"Smile, oaf!"
Detonates grenade, steps gingerly over inert barbarian.
"Lucky for you the car was a rental. Mine's in the shop or else it'd be your funeral."
Replaces horned helmet with dunce cap on Hrun's scabby, parasite-ridden scalp.
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
As he reaches down, Hruns suddenly large hands reach up and grap him by the throat.
"Fool" Hrun smiles "This armour is the best warriors can loot, proof against all magics and explosives"
Wraps Matlock quickly in duct tape, puts dunce cap on his head and leaves him hanging from a convient nearby lamp post.
Posted by matlock on :
Oh Hrun you poor simpleton. A Georgia boy can do anything with duct tape, including escape from it. Here's a hint: WD-40!
By the way, the dunce cap would never have fit over my new fishing hat. Nearsighted lackwit!
<duct tapes door back into place. grabs to-go cup of black coffee.>
Sorry Cramer! It's the best fix I could do in a pinch.
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
Hrun smiles as he watches Matlock leave.
5...4...3...2...1...Boom
Posted by matlock on :
Oh, now you've made me spill my coffee tough guy. Wahhh! No wonder barbarians aren't known for their technical prowess. I've been tangling with Bombs Under The Toilet King lo these many years and you think you can get to me with a rigged coffee cup? Piker!
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
What Matlock fails to realise is that this is not a cafe cramer coffee. Rather it is a magical potion from High Priestess Viviane.
As the liquid spills over Matlocks lap and slowly soaks into his trousers the magic starts to work and Matlock will now have to spend the next 24 hours with a perminant stiffy, (as a bonus the magic also adds three inches)
Posted by matlock on :
Hrun, your mom says to tell you "Thanks!"
Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
My mother, Blessed be her noble soul, passed beyound the veil many many moons ago.
I did not realise that thou wast a scrivener.
But beware, I fear the furies may be about. They will prey on thou, especially if they see the "gift" I have presented thou
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Furies? Don't you worry about no Furies, boys. Beware the very rare anger of Fat Cramer!
What a mess you made here! It goes beyond Bah! Beyond Jillikers! Beyond Jeepers H. Tutu! Much more of this and I'll start writing poems again.
Now behave yourselves while I call the carpenters and clean-up crew. Looks like we'll need an electrician as well. Not to mention Policy Pam....
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I haven't seen FC this fired up since she brought the Royal Inquisitor to his knees with ferocious poetry!
Hrun, I'm taking the money to pay for this out of your hordes of gold. What did I tell you about busting up, LW? I'm going to have to send for another three hundred fresh wenches to keep you tired...
Matlock, great thinking and a good battle. As a reward, I'm doubling your retirement pay. You know, if you ever get to retire and stuff...
As for me, all this security work has given me quite a thirst, and coffee seems like the best option this morning...
Posted by Abin Quank on :
<Preset Green Energy Charge Restores Café Cramer to it's former Pristine Condition.>
Caffeine!
I Need Bacon and Eggs with Whole Wheat Toast, and Coffee, Lots Of Coffee!
If Hrun's acting up again I suppose I'll just have to work some overtime this week (and charge it to the security office at my usual Double and a Half Rate)
Cramer's Place is all spiffy, but there's lots more to do (after breakfast)
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
FC, do you have some non-coffee morning beverage selections? I'm told caffine stunts your growth, and I can't afford that.
Posted by matlock on :
Although I just can't understand your thinking CJ, I believe there is a comprehensive selection of freshly squeezed juices for your enjoyment.
I'll have my usual pot of black.
Sorry about the ruckus yesterday FC. At least most of it took place outside but I'll be sure show certain people the door before I have to give out any more attitude adjustments in the future.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
FC, there are donuts and muffins in the lunch room here at work. Help me resist their siren call. Feed me tofu! Please!
Posted by matlock on :
Just send them my way Semi. I'd be happy to dispose of them for you. I'm the guy at the office that eats the wierd, forlorn custard and icing filled doughnuts that are still around at quitting time.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I've told myself no muffin today. I gained two pounds this week and I plan to lose them both today.
Posted by matlock on :
My wife's always encouraging me to put on a few pounds. I just can't seem to but I do skip breakfast and lunch a lot. But next week I'm going to Denver for work and I've got a $47 per diem for food so I may be flying back in sweatpants. Room service, ahoy!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
If I skip breakfast and lunch I usually lose. I tend to skip lunch a fair amount because there are no decent places to eat around my office. Wish we had a Cafe Cramer here.
Posted by matlock on :
I hear you. There's a cafe in the lobby but I've never got anything there in almost a year at this location. I don't even know why. For anything else I'd have to get in the car and drive and it's sort of a pain. I try to bring lunch sometimes but there's never much time in the morning to make anything. Whine whine whine. Where's my cup o' soup?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Notice to CJ and other patrons: we have a full selection of decaffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages, because, let's face it, caffeine leaches the calcium from your skeleton. Although there's nothing quite like real coffee for the true addict...
Semi, I could fix you some scrambled tofu - tastes like eggs. Of course, I do offer absolutely fat-free muffins, which I have been making for years. The secret is in the mixing - so they aren't tough like the low-fat stuff you get in the real world. Don't skip breakfast!
Thanks to Cobie, Abin and Matlock, for the repairs. We certainly have an effective, rapid-response security force here!
Posted by Loser Lad on :
As a true addict I salute you for always keeping my IV-drip bag full of fresh, hot coffee! It's like liquid gold this stuff!

It looks like I've had three leechings this morning already. I better stop.

Never! Caffeine Forever! I Must Have My COFFEE!!!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I cooked a turkey tenderloin marinated in teriyaki. May I contribute it to Cafe Cramer's dinner menu?
Posted by matlock on :
I'm out of town and I can't sleep well. I need extra caffeine this week so keep it coming!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I have to work through lunch.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
I'll bring you over some of that turkey tenderloin along with a salad of fall greens and some kale with bacon. Should it go to your desk or do you prefer to eat in a boardroom?
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Thanks, FC. I'll eat at my desk, with the door closed so that I can post at LW.
Posted by Space Boy on :
quote:Originally posted by Fat Cramer: let's face it, caffeine leaches the calcium from your skeleton.
Do they make calcium supplements or do I just need to drink more milk?
And, if there are supplements but I continue being a caffeine addict, do the two cancel each other out and just leave me calcium-less?
Osteoporosis, here I come. Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Looks like Fat Cramer's been up all night baking to feed the hungry citizens of Legion World. Bravo!

That would make a great hat. Looks delicious, too.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Well I can see the late Queen Mum wearing it, but not anyone else, really.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'm here for a late evening snack. Some strawberry ice-cream would be good right now.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
In ice cream, we have low-carb for you protein people, fat-free for the other side of the dietary debate, Tofutti for the vegans and high-calcium for the middle-agers.
Posted by Myriad on :
Any old-fashioned, whole fat ice-cream? *tee hee*
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Of course, that too. It's our most popular variety.
And, for all coffee-drinkers/addicts, in the interest of full disclosure, the bad news:
I would like to state, for the record, that I have read the book in its entirety, purchased a can of Teecino and a jar of Caf-Lib but will continue to serve fully-caffeinated products at the Café for any who so desire.

Posted by The Red Bee on :
It's only Tuesday? Need coffee...

I got one of these for my protein shakes in the morning. It's great. So here's one for Cafe Cramer. (It's also great for milkshakes - both low carb and hitest.)
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Thanks Semi! We can come up with some great breakfast drinks with this.
Who's up for a bacon shake?
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
You'd have to blend the bacon first. Might as well just use the old cuisinart for that one. ... and add sardines to make it extra tasty. Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Time for some tea. I'm feeling guilty. Our computer guy brought in a big plastic pumpkin filled with candy and chocolate bars. Have I told you I have no will-power when I hear the siren call? Half a bloody pumpkin later ....
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Shoulda just et the plastic pumpkin, Semi!
It's Friday, good people. Help yourselves to the beverage of your choice (bacon and liver shakes available for carnivores!) and the usual array of breakfast foods ... and get ready to GOOF OFF!!! Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I was saved from the Friday muffins. Some scoundrel ate mine before I got down to the lunch room. I expressed my disappointment, but secretly I was releived to have the temptation removed. (Have I admitted that willpower is not my strong suit?)
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Caffeine!
A cup of dark coffee would be perfect right now. The colder it gets, the later in the evening I keep drinking coffee...
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Sunday morning at Cafe Cramer - the perfect place for bacon and eggs.

Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Oh boy, I can see we're going to have to watch where we walk in here now. Saucers of milk all over the floor.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Not on your life. Cats may have their saucer of milk in the corner over by the woodstove. Cats should know their place, and their place is not all over the place.
However, I'm always happy to welcome any of them.

Dogs are now under-represented in LW. Hmmmm....
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Time for a pre-vote feast to get my strength up. Don't want to leave any chads hanging.
Think I'll start with some eggs, bacon, and orange juice. Then top it off with a nice, big blueberry wheatgerm pancake.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Just one pancake? You'll probably need more nourishment than that to get through election day! Here - take some muffins along with you.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Well, I've got butterflies in my stomach. I don't think I'm going to have much of an appetite until the results are in tonight.
Posted by ferroboy on :
What makes you think you'll have an appetite after the results are in?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
I eat when I'm nervous. If either of those idiots running for high office blow up the world before I get to read Waid's Legion, I'm going to be mighty mighty annoyed.

I'd like some Amaretto with a shot of coffee instead.

Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
Just enough coffee so that the coffee smell fools the co-workers, mind you. We don't need to go overboard on the whole coffee thing.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Agreed. Besides, we can always have another bit of coffee when our buzz starts to die down and we need a new hit of amaretto...
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'd like one of Cramer's famous warm chicken spinach salads, with the honey mustard dressing.

whatta way to start the day... Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
My breakfast is a protein shake and a cup of coffee. That's really all I ever have time for. On Christmas morning, I make eggs benedict as a special treat.
Posted by ferroboy on :
A protein shake, eh? Hmm...
Semi, you need to make some more time for a healthier breakfast. I know I'm not one to talk since I typically skip breakfast entirely, but I always was better with dispensing advice than following it.

It's working out great Kent, thanks for asking! They've piled a lot of work my way, but the big boss told me the other day its because they trust me and I'm moving along faster than they thought, so I guess its a pretty good thing.

Oh, and a cup of coffee sounds great right about now...
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Good morning Cafe Cramerites.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Thanksgiving specials at the Café, through Sunday. Just haven't figured out what they are yet.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'm betting there'll be some turkey soup on the menu by Sunday.
Posted by dedman on :
might i suggest a turkey stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a duck stuffed with stuffing?
Posted by STU on :
Stuff a goose in there somewhere, and you've got a deal. (And a bacon garnish, natch...)
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
That's a bit much for breakfast, innit?
Posted by ferroboy on :
Definitely too much for me, especially since I rarely eat breakfast as it is. I guess I could go for some toast with orange marmalade and maybe some scrambled eggs. Oh, and some milk and OJ.

Just coffee for me thanks! Don't have room today for anything else!
Posted by dedman on :
I just had my first coffee in two days.....

Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Probably an Italian Roast decaf with some deep dish apple pie.

I was reading that and thinking an Italian Roast beef would be good. No coffee for me in the evening.

Would you have Italian Roast Beef with Italian Roast Decaf?
Posted by matlock on :
I'll just have the usual to go - black coffee for the drive home.

Beautiful mural, dedman. (But please remember to make it a happy scene. i.e., no dead bunnies or dismembered hunters.)
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Wow! Thanks for all the decorating, guys. It's beautiful - and I could concentrate on the baking. (Fortunately, there's already an abundance of cupcakes this year.)

We can always use lots of fruit cake and coconut rum balls for the holidays. And I'm sure that Cafe Cramer makes it's own eggnog - none of that stuff in a carton.

Hey, who hung all these salad greens on the wall here?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Stay away from those LSD cupcakes, Miner!
Here, have some really strong coffee. It might help.
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
No, seriously. It looks like someone hung up an entire House Salad.
Posted by dedman on :
do you mean the wreaths?
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
No salad on the walls. Maybe that's just part of dedman's mural.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Perhaps the dimensional barriers are breaking down, and Miner is seeing into some other Café where there is indeed salad on the walls. If there's salad on the walls, you wonder what they put on their plates...
This could get messy - and calls for hot cinnamon rolls.

Got any strong coffee to get me going FC? and could you do me a bacon butty to eat back at my desk?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
One thermos of strong and a bacon butty will be teleported to your desk pronto!
Now to get back to setting up those enchanted candles...
Posted by Greybird on :
What IS a "bacon butty," anyway? I keep seeing the bone-idle Onslow asking for one from his comically frustrated wife Daisy, on "Keeping Up Appearances," and it makes me crave one.
Especially when I'm bone-idle enough to let McDonald's do the cooking. Is it similar to a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit? ... Over in the USA, "biscuits" use a baked, light, and flaky bread, and are not sweet baked confections, which we call "cookies."
... Oh, to heckwiddit. Give me a double latte with quadruple cream, please, FC, and I'll forget again about how we're "divided by a common language"!
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
Grey
a bacon butty is really just a another term for a bacon sandwich.
although here in the North East we tend to use "stottie cakes" rather than sliced bread. Now before you ask me what a stottie is, it's not that exotic, just a dialect name for a large (and we are taking between 6 and 12 inch diameter) white soft bread bun.
Of course a bacon buttie here is just a light snack. A few stalls and shops offer the full English breakfast in a stottie, that is bacon sausages, eggs, mushrooms, onions, black pudding and baked beans. Yum Yum, but oh my poor full tum tum Posted by dedman on :
now you've gone and made me hungry
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
One double quadruple coming up for Greybird - fortunately that cream (and the bacon butty) have no artery-clogging effect if consumed within the confines of Legion World.
For dedman, a shot of Screech in his coffee.

Semi, I used to rely on your rich descriptions of breakfasts to make me hungry in the morning!
Even though it may not be the healthiest thing, may I suggest pastrami, a fried egg and some cheese on a hard roll? Simple, but sure is delicious!
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
It does sound delicious. I should be able to one of those about once every other month.

But you look like your in *incredible* shape in all those photos, Semi!
I hope I can look that way by 30!

Believe me, Cobie. It's not easy to stay in shape after 50. I really have to watch what I eat.

Posted by matlock on :
I need a cup of coffee badly now. All this strife gives me a headache. There better not be any Inquisitors in here, that's all I'm going to say.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Here, here to that!
I'll join you for a cup, Matt! With Viv evil and Space Ranger missing again, looks like it's back to me and you manning the Security Office.
I'm considering a brief quest to get my powers back. In the meantime, it might be smart to have you on guard here, making sure the Inquisitor doesn't do anything stupid...
We can get these things dealt with as we try and figure out what to do next about Viv. As for now--I need coffee!
Posted by matlock on :
Yeah, it's been a long, drunken and inconclusive case so far.
Did we ever make the Red Bee an official member of the Office? I say we ought to, he's been a staunch ally so far. I called the bank and had Viv's automatic deposit shut off, so we have room under the salary cap. (I know our budget's big enough anyway, I just say that for the official record as it were.)
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Yeah, and any little dig we can have at Viv is a good one
I think the Red Bee would be a good addition myself. The offer of course extends to Faraway Lad and Yellow Kid, but I'm not sure if they'd want the job right now with their own responsibilities.
If Disaster Boy stays on the side of good, we might even consider him as a potential officer on a probationary period.
Between you and me, I'm considering giving Hrun the Barbarian a call if it means we'll have more active hands in settling this problem.
Hopefully Vee, Semi, Space Ranger, Abin and Emerald Empress will return to join us shortly.
Posted by matlock on :
Hrun, for all his rowdiness is a doughty warrior. I'm also for giving disaster boy a second chance, also on some sort of probationary non-evil basis. And like you say, Faraway and YK have their own roads to hoe so I figure they're probably going to remain independent of this office.
Red Bee - front and center! You've officially taken on full responsiblities as "the rookie." But we'll try to keep you from the fate of the typical rookie. Plus, you have bees and that is to your advantage.
If it wasn't for the Inquisitor I'd say we move this to Shakes to celebrate officially. That's one more we owe him.

I'd say we should stop by the Security Office to make it official, but we're spread too thin right now and there's too many places we need to be.
So Bee, welcome aboard! Remember, when all else fails, take the James Bond approach--destroy everything.
Matlock, good luck with the Inquisitor case...my path will diverge here, as I try to regain my powers before Viv wakes up from her YK induced slumber.
Off to the Pysonion Embassy - the Princess' advice has always soothed me before a journey. After that, I'll post a note at the Security Office and be off...

Matlock, I hope all is going well. So far, no luck on my side quest, but we’ll have to see what happens…although, I may have found some deeper, darker mystery related to all this madness…
I hope FC has joined you at some point. Her experience in taking down the Inquisitor is invaluable—you haven’t seen a poetry attack until you’ve seen her in action.
Also, please be sure to tell Hrun I will be keeping an eye out for him on this little quest. His might will be very handy as we make progress in ending these Magic Wars.

Whose around right now? It seems things are beginning to move to an end point finally, and we need to get ourselves in order. My powers have returned, and Hrun has begun another assault on Viv's island.
But the Cafe needs to be defended against the Inquisitor, so everyone follow Matlock's lead. In the meantime, I'll try to find Faraway Lad's body and discover the secret behind this traitor nonsense.

My poor executive assistant -Haberdasher Lad- (such a cute little behind and that Errol Flynn mustache is just darling ) is probably frantic with worry. Lovely boy but a bit high strung. I'll be back in touch very shortly but I MUST make sure he hasn't sold off my business to some interplanetary consortium of would-be-conquerors or a traveling burlesque show of some kind by now.

Door crashes open Hruns axe spins through the air towards Cramer.
"Caffiene" he shouts.
Cramer using her cat like reactions reaches up a graceful hand, without even looking up, and catches the axe in mid air.
"morning dear, have not seen you around for a while" she says sweetly then sends the axe flying back at him.
Hrun takes the full force of the axe on his shield. "Ha noble mistress thout hast lost none of thine skills I see"
Striding over to Cramer he places a large pouch of jewels on the counter. "These are a gift from a noble princess of the north, from one beauty to another" he says smiling.
Then ripping the coffee machine from its stand Hrun strides out of the cafe drinking heartily direct from the machine and muttering something about finding Stoopid Cat.

My Lady, Accept this gift of finest jersey cream as a gesture of friendship. Forgive if you can not forget, my past indiscretions I come now as an LMB’er to stand shoulder to shoulder in the shield wall with my comrades.
Alas as you know Stoopic Cat Varalent and Abin have all gone missing. I tracked Abin to a cell in a land I do not know but alas I could not rescue him. Long though we battled, we were separated and I was forced to retreat.
Through many lands I have travelled since last we met and many wise men have I sat with and discussed the wisdom of the ages. On one such journey I discovered a truth, and such a truth. I returned to Legion World through a journey of fire and ice, past ravening goddesses and evil magicians to share it with Stoopid Cat but now he has gone.
Now I offer my axe, I will help thou on thy quest, if thy will take me.

Everything works here.
Mint jelly is best left in the jar, to tell you the truth. I might tease Cobie but I would never steer him wrong. (No steer jokes, please.) Assuming that's really Cobie.
Crab rangoon is a fictional dish from a Hemingway novel, much like STU himself.
No spanking in the Café, please. I have enough problems with flying axes.

Posted by Hrun the Barbarian on :
A door opens, Hrun walks in slowly and places his axe in the stand normally reserved for umbrellas etc by the door. Nodding to the guests having brunch, he walks across to Cramer.
"My sweet Lady, we have had many a rollocking time in the past but now battle looms and many may not return. I have consulted the augaries and they are,....well unclear. I have come to.... I have come to make my farewells to thee and this noble house. At the end of this Crisis I shall hope to see you again. But should I fall in battle think not ill of me, but take this gift and oft and anon wear it in remembrance of me”
Hrun places an exquisite Emerald and Ruby necklace around Cramers neck. Then gently picks her up in his huge bear like arms and kisses her once softly on the forehead.
Turning Hrun leaves.
“Wait” says Abin, rushing to the door “you forgot your axe” But it was too late Hrun had vanished into the mists…..

LAM, there are no "Special Fraternities" here. We gather here first and foremost to celebrate our love of the Legion. All other considerations are secondary to that fact. Whether a poster is male, female, gay, or straight makes no difference in the long run.

On the job. Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
What are you doing up at 4 in the morning?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Drinking coffee, no doubt! Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Drinking coffee, of course! Although it was only 5 in the morning here (a perfectly civilized time of day, in my opinion - the true happy hour).
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Oh, five's ok. I forget, you're not eastern time zone are you?
Posted by Arachne on :
Have you managed to get a hold of Tim Horton's hot smoothie recipes, FC? A buttered caramel would be great about now.
Posted by STU on :
I love Tim Horton's!
And Harvey's too. You just can't get poutine like that 'round here!
Why can't I live in Canada? Posted by Fat Cramer on :
The Café operates officially on Atlantic Time, although we tend to use Zulu for everyday activities. Dedman, when he does drop by, is a half hour earlier than everyone else, which makes following conversations a bit problematic.
The Tim Horton's buttered caramel smoothie is the best of the new lot, IMO - but I think I'll make them a bit thicker here.
STU, you, too, can live in Canada. Just apply, enclose $130,000 Cdn and it's even easier if you promise to go live in a rural area. I wouldn't mention any of the Dark Stu stuff though - they're a little antsy about overt criminality.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
STU, if you pay my $130,000 entry fee, too, I'll testify on the stand that you weren't really Dark STU, and that Dark STU was really an alt-ID of Pov's.

Ohmygod, I so want a Hot Buttered Caramel Smoothie! But There aren't any Tim Horton's down here in Georgia.

Just $130,000 Cdn, eh? Let's see... that's... almost affordable when you convert to US dollars!
Keep the beaver tails warm for me, I'll be right over!

?? That's wierd. I can't think of any reason why they shouldn't have it. I'm pretty sure there are apple orchards over there.

That is odd. It might be a taste thing - although alcoholized apple cider was pretty popular in Quebec.

If not I'll take Vanilla.

Vanilla wafers would go really nice with a cuppa just now.

When you find out, be sure to let me know
Unrelated, I remember you telling me about combining tea with a specific flavor or brande Arachne (or was it hot chocolate?) a winter or so ago. I have had a really bad chill the past few days (something I'm not used to), and am looking for fine tasting [non-coffee] hot drinks...
Posted by Arachne on :
I think you mean Black Forest Hot Chocolate. Heated chocolate milk with a shot of cherry brandy and topped with whipped cream.
Celestial Seasonings makes some nice Christmas teas if you can get a hold of them (it's a Colorado company, I think, so it should be availble in the US), both black tea and herbals. IIRC, one of them is like liquid cinnamon.
One of my other favourite hot drinks is Chai. It's black tea with spices like cinnamon and cloves, and nutmeg; it's just wonderful. Make it strong and add plenty of milk. Better yet, if you're at a coffee shop, see if have Chai Latte. It's really incredible. Sometimes it might be listed as Masala Chai, which is the proper East Indian term for it.
Posted by Pagan Lass on :
A nice hot cup of herbal tea would really hit the spot right about now.
Aaaahhh...
Posted by Hey you on :
I like a good matte latte myself. Brazilian tea-like stuff, but put through an espresso machine, capped off with steamed milk... grainer than tea, but good, and refreshing!

I'll have a hearty bowl of bacon stew, please. And, on the side, a thick slab of buttered toast topped with crumbled, crisp bacon.

Many years have I been an LMBer, and thus I often wonder how different the paths we have taken as a group might have been if one small thing was different along the way. I wonder now, if one of our sage LMBers will take back up the path that she was so close to going down many moons ago.
So tell me FC, for I must ask. Will you run for leader?

As an ex-Montrealer, I make sure to always stock good quality bagels - and our root beer is homemade. The fried bologna biscuit & Dr. Pepper can be managed if you'll wait 5 minutes.
BTW, there's a place in Montreal that will ship their famous bagels (at least, famous in Montreal), frozen. I never enquired further. The shipping costs must be outrageous.

The door crashes open. Cramer ducks, expecting an axe.
However there is silence then Hrun staggers in through the door. He is cut and has huge claw marks running down his body, His Shield hangs broken from one arm whilst his axe is chipped and damaged.
He moves unsteadily to the counter and weakly says
“Stoopid Cat! We need to…need to”
Then he collapses on the floor, as he does so his chain mail shirt falls open to reveal a message cut into his torso.

Well, old friend, they're right about one thing: you don't exactly smell like roses...

Hm...doesn't seem to be doing much...
<continues to concentrate>
...and its just what I thought. You're not dead at all. And by the looks of it, you've been hit by the same thing that attacked Vee. Or at least--something similar. Some type of virus that not only paralyzes the body, but kills it to a point, while keeping it alive all the while.
That little blast of healing I just gave you will certainly help eliminate that virus, though I have no idea if it'll restore you.
Better not have you stink up Cafe Cramer anymore. I have a private booth at SHAKES where any smells are eliminated. Mayavale showed it to me when he let me try that hooka--er, well, never mind.
You can rest easy FC, Hrun isn't dead. On the verge of death, sure, but I'll keep him alive for at least a little while.

Who are we roasting?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
according to Wikipedia, that use of "roast" is only a North American one; we can't roast Far if he doesn't get the joke. Posted by Faraway Lad on :
I thought i was only asking for a cup of coffee? Whats up with the word roast.
And can i have a cup of darjeeling tea whilst i'm waiting?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
besides coffe and cuisine, a "roast" can be a banquet in which the guest of "honor" is belittled, insulted and joked about by everyone else at the head table; each gets up and goes to the podium, telling jokes, anecdotes (true or not) all designed to embarrass the person being roasted, who is expected to be a good sport and take it.
It is generally assiciated with a social org called the Friar's Club, from the 1920s or thereabouts, but this was not a public spectacle - members only. Dean Martin began an occasssional television roast of fellow celebs in the 1960s and 70s, but these were far tamer, given regulations of the time.
In recent years, Comedy Central has revived the TV tradition, every year or so roasting the lieks of William Shstner, Pamela Anderson, Jeff Foxworthy, etc.

Does Cafe Cramer serve tea? I'm rather partial to a Yunan Puerh.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Had to look that one up*, but if it exists in the galaxy, the Café will serve it.
* This tea is a so called “Red Tea“ from the chinese province of Yunan. Pu-Erh tea is more or less post fermented and this is a sign that the tea is still passing after fermentation which gives it a strong earthy taste, dark cup with an intensive strong flavour. Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
Well FC, just come and visit me and I will brew you an exquisite cup of Puerh tea. Puerh comes either loose leaf or in pressed bricks. I get it at the Imperial Tea Court in the San Francisco Ferry building. There is not just one Puerh. but many - they are prized among tea connoisseurs. They range from about $50 a pound to over $400 a pound. The more aged the more valuable. Since I take a ferry each day to get to work and to get home, I can stop in. The nice thing is that for $3.00, I can have a cup of any tea I want, including the $400 puerh. It's very musty tasting but I love it. Here is their website. It's full of information useful for a revered institution such as Cafe Cramer.
Very interesting. So you can buy the bricks and age them further - I may put my long term commodity investments into Puerh rather than bottles of scotch.
Posted by doublechinner on :
FC, I thought of you this very morning when I arose to discover the coffee jar was empty of its usual contents (Peet's French Roast). Luckily, we had an emergency backup of some whole bean Trader Joe's Tanzanian pea berry, which isn't half bad, even with our not-very-good rotary grinder.
I have a new caffeinated obsession though. While dining last week at a local Japanese restaurant, I was served the most wonderful green tea. It's brewed color was more golden/wheat than green, and it was smooth and mellow, but complex and almost smokey, not the harsh, greeny flavor of so much of the product on the market these days. Unfortunately, the server, while she agreed it was excellent tea, couldn't tell me its source. Not because her English was poor, she was just clueless. I tried the Tazo China Green Tips, which is a huge step in the right direction, although it is still a bit harsh and shallow compared to my new gold standard. Anyone have any recommendations for the perfect green tea?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
I'd say call that restaurant and ask to speak to the kitchen manager. Maybe they'll tell you what the brand is. Or go on a trial-and-error run to an Oriental food store. The green teas I've had have been unexceptional, but I haven't pursued them beyond grocery stores and a few restaurants. Perhaps there is something in how it's been brewed as well.
Waking up to a house devoid of coffee sends a chill down my spine! I've sunk pretty low to get my caffeine fix.
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
I'm in the mood for the catch of the day, pan-fried with a buerre blanc, and a steaming bowl of chowder. Can you do it?
Posted by Lard Lad on :
FC, my problem with coffee is that it smells divine but tastes like crap, so we've never gotten along! You gotta coffee that tastes as good as it smells--and maybe also has some hard liquor in it for some extra oomph?
If so, I'll take 10! Posted by Fat Cramer on :
The Café Cramer, being beyond reality, can do anything. Food and beverage wise, that is.
Fresh halibut filet and lobster chowder coming up for Semi.
Lardy, perhaps the best solution, if you don't enjoy any of the coffees, is to have a shot of coffee-scented vodka. (We only offer small quantities of liquor since SHAKES provides.)

Lardy, there are wheels within wheels. You don't know what's going on in the back rooms. And no, you can't peek.
Something decadent for Shakespeare - maybe a Brown Cow, the way my grandmother made it, with ice cream added to the milk, coffee liqueur and nutmeg - and I'll add gold sprinkles on top. And some very high calorie pastries on the side.

{They sit down}
Clive that was amazing! We made it here in 1.3 seconds! Do you have all the same powers as your dad?
Posted by Clive on :
Pretty much, Tim. I can't do all the tricks that he can and I'm not in his league power level-wise. So far, I do the teleporting and force shields pretty well.
<bows his head>
I've had some communication with the Order of Lard Knights. Seems they want me to come to the monastery and learn the ways of the Lard Force.
<looks at Tim>
Dad was unusual among the Knights. Most of them live at the monastery all their lives, but he snuck out one day and met Lash and Shady on that fateful trip and never looked back.
I want to learn more about my power, but I also know I don't want to go there under false pretenses. I just started this life I've been blessed with--I couldn't just insulate myself from the galaxy after what I've seen.
<Cramer gives them their drinks>
Thanks, Cramer!
<sips>
On the other hand, life can be...confusing, you know?
Posted by Time Teller Lad on :
Don't I know it!
I finally graduated from the LMB Academy a few months back and, upon graduation, Rocky sponsored me for full LMB membership. So I'm a full member now. I've wanted that--since I was a kid and your dad and the others founded the LMB eight years and five days ago! And I'm so happy I am! But--well, after years of wanting it so badly, now that I finally have it, I almost feel like there should be more to it.
{Smiles at Clive}
My powers aren't nearly as impressive as yours. I can tell what time it is anywhere in the universe; I can tell the exact age of any object and I can tell exactly how long it has been since an event has transpired. Rocky took me under his wing--so to speak and I think that's how I got in. I'm not sure what he saw, but he says I'm going to be a great hero. {Sigh} Where would we be without Rockhopper Lad?
Posted by Clive on :
<sighs>
Yeah, where would I be? Mr. Rockhopper is absolutely the greatest! I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. He's been so understanding! I kinda got thrown into living without a parachute, and he just stepped up, y'know?
Even with Dad back...well, I'm sure you know his memory's totally gone?
<Tim nods>
Thing is, even if Dad were all there, it would probably be awkward for us. I call him 'Dad', but the only relationship we had was that he helped program a robot and gave it the chance to be something more. When he created me, he was busy trying to start a life with Dru. It's...
<tears up a little>
...it's really strange for me. But Mr. Rockhopper has really been there.
How did you come to know him?
Posted by Time Teller Lad on :
When I first enrolled at the LMB Academy three years, two months and ten days ago, Rocky hadn't been on Legion World for very long. As a new member of the LMB, he was asked to talk to our class. I had so many questions! He offered to stay after class to talk to me. I bent his ear--or whatever he has--for forty-seven minutes. Then he offered me a part-time job at the Rookery and it just went from there. Soon I was his scheduler when he was Deputy Leader and then I got some experience with the Security Office and then I graduated and here I am. He's been there for me through it all. And, I have to say, I know it's totally unrequited and it's not at all what my relationship to him is like, but I've always had a bit of a crush on him.
Posted by Clive on :
A crush?
<scratches head>
Sorry, I'm still a little new at, well, everything! What do you mean by 'crush'?
Posted by Time Teller Lad on :
A crush? {Tim giggles} A crush is when you admire someone so much, that, even though you know they don't feel the same way about you, you feel attracted to them. I've had a lot of them. I've never had a boyfriend, though.
Posted by Clive on :
<thinks>
Hmmm...I wonder if what I had with Babette and Nova Girl were crushes? Babette seemed interested, but I always had the feeling I took it more seriously than her. Nova? She didn't seemed interested, either. I've a feeling they were both out of my league.
<scratches head>
I'm beginning to wonder if I have a crush on Mr. Rockhopper, as well? I...never really thought about it, but my emotions for him aren't all that different from how I felt about the other two.
I never realize it before now, but I guess what you said means you're gay...like Mr. Rockhopper, Mr. Lash and many other Legion World citizens.
How...did you know you were gay?
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
<quietly places a fresh pot of hot chocolate on the table>
Posted by Time Teller Lad on :
{Tim shrugs}
I've always known. Ever since I was a kid. It's about the only thing I can't pinpoint an exact time for (winks). I always was attracted to men.
I'm glad we live in the era we do. Hundreds of years ago, they used to make life very hard for gay people on Earth, but that started changing back in the 20th Century.
Now we know it's just part of the natural diversity of life, but they say that really everyone is on a continuum somewhere. A lot of people are attracted to both men and women to varying degrees.
{Tim stops a moment to catch his breath, then notices a very distressed look on Clive's face.}
Clive, are you okay?
Posted by Lard Lad on :
<enters and orders an espresso>
<Tim and Clive don't notice him>
Posted by Clive on :
I don't know, Tim. I mean...
I don't know much about...well, anything, I guess--but especially not relationships!
So how would I know if I'm...gay?
Posted by Time Teller Lad on :
That's something you have to discover for yourself. Are you more attracted to women or to men? Which do you think about more?
As I like to say, time will tell...
Posted by Clive on :
I suppose it will, Tim. I've certainly got a lot to think about...
<takes Tim's hand in his own>
...a lot to think about.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
<from his booth>
I don't even remember him or really know him, but I think my 'son' is on the right path for him. This is the most comfortable I've seen him in his own skin since I awoke and first saw him in my hospital room.

Wow... that's the first time I ever came into a Legion World establishment... that must put this at... August of last year? God... what is Phineas's game?

GOD! ENOUGH! I know what to do.

Nicotine!
(Looks around)
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was the Tobacconist.

Actually, I've long wondered what "SharkLad" looks like. Is he a sentient, talking shark? Someone who's mostly humanoid, but with a few sharkish characteristics (e.g., sharp teeth, a fin)? Or some half-and-half combination, like a centaur or merman?

People who drink too much coffee could start seeing ghosts or hearing strange voices, UK research has suggested.

Okay, its time to compare notes. Have you told Matlock about what we’ve found, Sharky? Any luck on your end, Matt?

I know you believe in him Sharky, but I can’t rule Lard Lad out yet. Still…this Tomahawk theory seems like a solid starting point.
I also want to get Exnihil’s confession and the bits regarding a ‘Second Shooter’ and ‘Justin Thyme’…whoever this enemy is, he was somehow able to hypnotize Exnihil…

Exnihil has retained me as his attorney. Any questioning the Security Office does of my client has to be in my presence. Any "confession" obtained from improper questioning will not hold up in court.

Regular coffee, black please.
<huddles down in a booth with Sharklad and Jailbait Lass. Motioning for quiet, he shows them a note written, pen to paper, in a secret code known only to Security Office personnel.>
"First, Cramer's has always been as close to neutral territory as LWorld has but in case it's been compromised:
1. The blood on LardLads sword WAS Clive's. 1a. Mitigating factor to above: LMB blood bank is missing 2 pints Clive's blood (banked as per procedure for all Leaders and Deputies.) 1b. High probablility LardLad framed. 2. Party or parties unknown have attempted to eliminate both Cobie's faction, and LardLad's. 3. Political hi-jinks give me heartburn."
Refill, please.
Posted by SharkLad on :
Hey, can I get grande chum-latte, please ...
sprock, matlock ... you mean somebody actually swiped Clive's blood? Who could pull an inside job like that? I've tried to get into the blood bank a couple times when Cafe Cramer and Shakes were running low on chum, and let me tell ya, security there is tighter than any place on Legion World (except maybe Crujectra's budoir) ...
Alright, so what's our next move? Lolita, I think Quis is gonna make it pretty tough to get a sit-down with Exnihil ... should we see if "John Doe" (a.k.a., the Election Tyrant, if my hunch is right) is able to talk? Also, I heard a rumor that Tomahawk's been seen on the streets ...
<shifts uncomfortably in the booth>
sprock, these booths are no good for somebody with a dorsal fin like mine ...
Posted by Jailbait Lass on :
Yes...the more I analyze the facts, I also believe Lard Lad was framed. In the past he's specifically mentioned in his grudge against Cobalt that he wanted him to be exposed as a criminal and go to jail--not be killed. I overreacted in my...grief...for Cobie.
The obvious question is 'Who Benefits?'. For starters, with Lard Lad out of the way, one of the major front-runners in the coming election is eliminated. And the Election Tyrant is missing just long enough for that possibility to continue. To which candidate would be served by Lardy's elimination--and who hates Cobalt Kid with a passion? Gary Concord can't be eliminated from the suspect list no matter how easy that may seem.
But Tomahawk seems like a likely candidate too. Or at least someone to be found and talked to. Something happened on that trip to the mountains and it somehow relates to all of this.
Cobie was on to something BIG. REALLY BIG. And when he was going to let me in on it...I pushed him away. I need to find out what that was.
Whoever the "Second Shooter" or Justin Thyme is, he had access to pull an inside job on Clive's blood, knowledge enough to find the Election Tyrant--which is no easy feet, and know us well enough to exploit our weaknesses on Legion World, including the continued political fractions.
Its looking more and more like someone extremely sneaky...or even an inside job.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Aside to Shark Lad. Know that Café Cramer makes their own chum fresh daily. They never use bottled chum that's been sitting on a shelve for weeks.

Something else we need to discuss. Cobie didn't want to hear this because he was thrilled to see his friend back.
But tell me...how in the world did Space Ranger return from the dead? Its a question unanswered for some time now. He's managed to convince Brit (Everyday Girl), but well...I just don't want her getting hurt too.

Posted by Jailbait Lass on :
So we're down to several leads and several mysteries. Maybe its time I paid Dr. Mayavale a visit? He never makes much sense to me--only Cobie ever seemed to understand him.
Matt, I think it comes down to this: Gary Concord is a suspect, and now this Tomahawk guy is a suspect. But they are by no means the only ones. Not long ago the Composite Durlan Angra Metternich launched an attack on Legion World; we thought we were rid of him, but it could well be his return. Even the Computer Tyrant may have returned. But those seem almost too easy, and those kind of enemies will reveal themselves soon enough.
And we still don't know why Space Ranger is back, or how Lard Lad survived his 'death'.
Cobalt and I have said for too long the Security Office has become corrupt. Space Ranger, if he is indeed who he says he is, appears to be trying to repair it; in the meantime, I'd like to keep our home base of operations here, in the Cafe.
Hopefully Sharky will have some leads on Tomahawk, and I'll check with Everyday Girl and My Whee Fem on Gary Concord.
Posted by Jailbait Lass on :
I'm heading out for a bit now Matlock...I'll meet you back here. Keep trying to look through those clues, I know there's more in there.

<turns to Matlock>
Well, well...heya Matlock. I hear there's a heavy caseload on Legion World right now. Mind if your old partner joined you?
I have some questions...but I think I have some answers too. I've been working on this case for several months. Its why I've been acting all mysterious and slightly 'weird'. I didn't want to play my hand too early.
Let me tell you about it...
<sits with Matlock>
In the meantime, a mean cup of Cramer's coffee, with a standing request to keep refilling will give me the added juice I need to keep going right now...
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
<for several hours, Matlock and Cobalt Kid privately discuss matters, not to be disturbed>
<after some time and much secret discussion> You see Matt, this case goes back months, or even longer. There’s something bad on Legion World—real bad. This “Second Shooter”, or “Justin Thyme” as he’s been called, was responsible for my shooting because he must now be aware of what I know. And it involves space/time, whether through magic or some kooky science. What I’ve just told you might fill in some of the gaps. So far, the only ones I’ve confided in are Dr. Mayavale and Kent Shakespeare who through the Bureau of External Affairs, helped me put together the pieces, and is helping me track this guy down. Until now, we simply called him “The Traveler”.
What we need to know is if this relates to Lard Lad’s reported murder of Clive. Did Lardy do it? I don’t believe so—so how does this play into things?
And secondly, what does this have to do with the House of Quank? This odd ‘Numbnuts the Semi-Incomprehensible” is key. Do I think he is responsible? No, not really. But he has answers.
I’ve got to follow up on one more thing, but do me a favor. Keep an eye out for Jailbait Lass, will you? I haven’t seen her since I was shot. I haven’t seen much of her in recent weeks…hell, months.
I’ll be back in contact soon—and then the Security Office will be like the old days.
Keep working at it!

Shark Lad...Tomahawk...Tobacco Shop...help...help... Posted by Jailbait Lass on :
Over the next hour, Lolita watches, still undergoing paralysis, as Matlock and Fat Cramer take charge of the situation. Matlock immediately alerts the Security Office and from the Omni-Monitors, Jailbait Lass and the crowded Cafe watch as the Security Office manages to save Shark Lad, Tomahawk and all the other patrons. They also are shocked to see the disfigured, slightly crazy “old” Lard Lad on the scene.
“Two Lard Lads?” says Fat Cramer. “Oh Boy…”
Matlock walks over to Lolita. “Hanging in there? They’re all safe. You did it. You got here in time.” He starts taking a wet towel clothe and washing off her face. Though he looks to be about 27 right now, Matlock is one of the oldest LMBers on Legion World. Some say he should be in his 80’s, some say much older, but a by-product of his powers is a continual de-aging. He also famously has 13 kids and a wife at home, and there is a certain paternal instinct that takes hold of him at times, like now. He washes Jailbait Lass’s face as if he were her father, and though he does not know it, this feeling helps Lolita more than she could ever put into words.
“…you did it…” she finally says, as her voice returns to her. “Paralysis is starting…to wear off…can feel my legs and arms. Should be able to get up…soon.”
“All I did was call the Security Officers attention to it. You were the one smart enough to get here. You don’t look like you need to get to Medicus Two. No burns. Wait until Cobie finds out how smart you were. He’s been looking all over for you.”
And suddenly, Jailbait Lass springs up to her feet! “Cobie? He’s out of the hospital? Why didn’t you say earlier? I didn’t know!”
“You didn’t? Where have you been Lolita,” says Matlock, “he’s been all over the news! Well, up until a minute ago. He’s walking around alright…more like running, as in running from the law…”
“Matt,” she says, “I have to tell you something vitally important and I don’t think anyone else knows. Its about Justin Thyme…and then I need to get to Cobie ASAP, and tell him. I know who the Second Shooter was.” Posted by Numbnuts the Semi-Incomprehensible on :

Candle walks in and takes a seat. She orders hot tea and a 'Fat Cramer Special'.
"Gosh, it smells like an army of custodians went through here! Which ish't bad, just 'CLEAN'!" She asks to open the door, receives a nod, opens the door and takes a deep breath, "That's good, well as good as air in a city gets."
Supper comes, beef stew and biscuits, which Candle eats with great savor and appreciation. As she finishes, and orders some Georgia Peach Cobbler and a glass of milk, she longs for some conversation with a friend.
When the waiter brings the dessert, Candle says, "Did you know that we have 10 years of this Kardi's monsters and his belief that being 'amoral' isn't the same as being evil?"
The waiter, Bilbo by name, gets a frightened look on his face and looks over his shoulder.
The creature walks past the Cafe, glancing in and snarling.
Bilbo screeches and runs to the door, slamming it.
Red eyes appear at the window, above the curtains, for a moment, then disappear.
"Maybe you need to go to Kent Shakespeare at the Security Office and report what you've just seen," says Candle, taking a bite of her Cobbler and washing it down with the cool milk. "You bet I will! And I'm going to ask where to find a Howitzer, too!" exclaims Bilbo with a firm determination.
Shady/Candle finishes her dinner and pays Bilbo. "That's the way to think, sir," she says soothingly.
She walks out of the shop, closing the door firmly and melts into the approaching evening shadows.

Posted by Dev Em on :
Cobie. We have to talk about Cleome.
Posted by Dev Em on :
Okay, here it is...with everything that has happened, I completely forgot about Cleome and her Daxamite pal, Mariette that roughed up Furball by the pool. There's also the issue of the missing headless Barbarian corpse.
Mariette was wearing a dark blue "Acme Security" jumpsuit. Cleome said something about "He's not the one the agency told you to--"
Does any of this fit together?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Interesting. I've come to trust Cleome implicitly these past few months (has it been technically "years" already? Time flies...)
I suspect whatever secret she has regarding Daxamites is something she'll tell us in good time.
The headless Barbarian corpse, however, fits in the MO of Zardi and his minions months ago. Seems an undead barbarian either was left rampaging on Legion World (unlikely) or was a precurser to the events of the last few days. But as much as I'd like to pin this all on Zardi, it isn't too out of the ordinary since Zardi's minions have attacked us on and off for months now--no one has been able to provide any clear cut evidence however to do something about it. While I can continue to use my magnetism to rip them to shreds, what we need is the LMB Leader to diplomatically handle the situation as Zardi has some sort of diplomatic immunity. We either need him to attack Legion World directly or have enough evidence to prove he has several terrorists acting on his behalf (undead or not).
<motions to a booth>
Take a seat for a minute, Dev.
<sits, more coffees brought over>
You're a master at espionage too so you should notice something pretty quickly. Look around and tell me what you see.
Cafe Cramer has a steady flow of customers all day long. Just about everyone on Legion World comes in and out; its been on the galactic holo-news so often that tourists come to LW just to try Cafe Cramer & SHAKES.
But take a look at the customers who actually order and stay here. The ones who make this a hangout. What is the common denominator?
Posted by Dev Em on :
<Dev looks around. Smiles, but then frowns a bit.>
I don't like the way this is going. The only ones sticking around are kids that I've seen around Everyday Girls school. They're all school kids right around that age group...just like EDG and her new Beau Sam slickster.
Is Zardi bold enough to really go after the school?
Posted by Everyday Girl on :
Ohmygod! Look at you two sitting there just like you were kewl and in school!
Mr. Cobalt after class I'm like gonna roust Tamper and find out who else he sold that ammo to. Knowing him he's prolly like got a production line running in the S.U.D.L. and a couple of henchmen at the E.G.S.C. hawking them as the ultimate protection against Zardi's minions or some junk like that.
Gotta Run!
<Turns and bounces over to a table of girls.>
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
<smiles>
Look at her go. Not a care in the world in here. Because you're exactly right: Cafe Cramer during this hour--right after school--is a hang out for teenagers.
<pulls out reciept>
And based on what FC gave me here, that's important. Debris at the scene of the crime where the shooter was standing when he/she shot Lardy came from a copy of the Dark Oval Current. Which on all of Legion World, is only available here.
Sold 8 days ago, during this exact hour we're in now. When the High School kids all get out of school.
So the person who bought it, besides obviously having an interest in the Dark Oval, was hanging out in Cafe Cramer when the High School kids were. Either watching Everday Girl, interacting with Sam Pureheart, or planning something to do with the High School Prom--or a combination of all three. So all these weird feelings I've been getting about the LW Prom I'm starting to believe are dead-on hunches.
<finishes coffee>
Everyday Girl will follow-up with Tamper Lad and I'm sure she'll find something. Hopefully that will be the go-between person that purchased the weapons from Tamper Lad and gave them to the shooter, since I doubt the shooter would have bought them directly. He's already proven to be efficient and intelligent enought to evade our senses thus far.

“No my Lord” shouts Hrun slapping the cup of coffee out of Cobalts hand. “A knurd Cobalt Kid could cause the universe to collapse on it self"
Crossing over to an Omnicom pad Hrun quickly calls up and Encyclopaedia Galactica entry and reads out
Knurd
Consider the following scale: •
Being drunk is to be intoxicated by alcohol to such an extent as to be unable to perceive the world clearly through the senses.
Being sober is to be able to perceive the world clearly through the senses, yet humans are quite capable of giving themselves illusions and little stories to make life more bearable.
Being knurd is to be (un)intoxicated with Klatchian Coffee to such an extent that all such comfort stories are stripped away from the mind. This makes you see the world in a way 'nobody ever should', in all its harsh reality.
People generally find being knurd excruciating, as their comfortable illusions are stripped away and all of life's terrors are exposed. When accidentally knurd, people hurry to get alcohol into them to restore the balance. I
n fact, they generally go too far, getting very drunk in order to a) make certain they aren't knurd, and b) get so comfortably illusory that the mind can't recall those terrible realities.
Mis-dosing in an attempt to treat natural knurd-ness can lead to pathological alcoholism, or merely pathological violence as in the case of English Football fans Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
<thinks on it>
Okay Hrun, I'll trust your judgment.

You might be wondering a few things. How the heck did I sober up? Did I really go on that long of a binger? And what the heck happened during that time? Well guess what. A lot of Legion Worlders who haven’t been on bingers are having similar memory problems. My healing abilities have someway let my mind reclaims those missing memories but it’s taken me awhile to ‘wake up’.
There are some dark things going on here on Legion World. And we need you now more than ever. So pick yourself up, dust yourself off and jump back into the fight.
Space Ranger was working on some things with me but he’s been out of contact for a few months. All the things going down these last few months…Zardi, the tobacco drug ring, Lardy being shot…they’re all connected.
Honestly, we can’t be sure whose listening in anymore. So I’ll tell you this: don’t trust the Luck Lords. Oh and abundant caution does no harm
You may have felt lost…and I feel for you…

You're a good man, Dev. Maybe a little too good to get mixed up with Lardy and Cobie and their gray-colored motivations.
The truth is Cobie hurt me really bad. But at the end if the day we believe the same things. So if he's doing it, chances are, I'd be right there supporting him, pushing for the same things. That's a betrayal I don't want to make.
<crosses arms and looks away>
I think sometimes you LMBP guys are a little too apt to push each other too hard. Maybe Exnihil is a little beside the point. You're all going to need to work together to deal with the real threat.
Posted by Dev Em on :
"Believe me, I know all about being hurt by people you care about. Furball is mixed up in this as well. He's sided with Cobie and took Lardy and I by surprise earlier today. He's even given up the game he's been playing for years. "
Dev takes another sip of his coffee.
"I have a feeling you know about this as well. Maybe I am not seeing the whole picture here...but I am not sure what to think right now. The fact is though, I am a Security Officer on Legion World and I have a job to do, and until I have proof that Lardy is up to something that is detrimental to the People of Legion World, I am bound by what I believe in, adn that is doing my job to the best of my ability."

Posted by Lolita on :
If it comes down to it, I'll step in and do my part to make sure Legion World's protectors are united. But I'm sorry Dev, there isn't anything I can do to help you.
Cobie is a lot like your friend Furball. What the public sees is a cover. Behind that facade is a man with little humor and an inability to connect with any other sentients out of a fear of losing focus of his duty to the LMBP and Legion World. No law, no code, no authority mean anything to him. Only what he sees as his home. You may or may not know that something terrible happened to him years ago early in his career and he's been changed ever since.
I-I love him...but I'm telling you because this charade has to end sooner or later or he's going to end up a victim of his own hubris, and probably dead. This "Great Game" he plays is a dark, black way of life that is rotting at his soul.
Good luck, Dev. I wish I could help. But...but I can't...

…
*At first she does not notice Furball and Hot Chick. They have no idea that Lolita has a long history with the Red Bee and has often been considered his favorite target. When he first betrayed the LMBP and revealed himself as a villain, she became his captive and he ultimately buried her alive. She was only saved at the last moment and this trauma affected her for many years. When the Bee returned a second time, he went out of his way amidst the chaos of Infinite Crisis to kidnap her once again and this time she was placed in a refrigerator after he enjoyed torturing her. It took her many years to come out of her shell after that, and she had finally begun to think it was all in the past.*
*She looks up.*
Furball…? You need me? B-but I wanted to stay…out of it…
*She looks around at all the other helpless victims, all horrified of what they see. Just like her.*

Furball and Hot Chick land outside the Cafe. They enter, order and find a seat.
"This is close enough to respond if there's trouble, and gives us a chance to talk a little."
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{as Timber Wolf finishes telling Hot Chick all about his story, she looks around cautiously}
{convinced that they're not being observed, she speaks}
Fuzzy, I really like you a lot, more than I ever thought possible, but... {holds his hands in hers} ...this person you see in front of you is not the real me. It's...an illusion. I can't let us go deeper into this...whatever it is...based on a lie.
{looks around nervously again}
I...I'm someone who is wanted by the LMB for serious crimes. You could say I'm very high on their Most Wanted list.
{bows head}
I'm so sorry...
Posted by Timber Wolf on :
Timber Wolf looks at her.
"Look at me then."
He waits until she raises her head enough to see his face. When she does, a grin creeps into one side of his mouth.
"I know...you don't do the things I've done in life without noticing certain things. You have to remember one thing. I've spent most of my adult life leading a double...hell, even triple life. My brother is a shape changer that can mimick someone down to the smells and vocal inflections."
He drops his voice, not having to look around to know that he is safe to talk at a lower level.
"I have done things that 99% of the society would be horrified by the thought of doing. Things that polite people don't talk about, but want to happen. Things to insure that peace is maintained throughout the galaxy. Things that Cobie never really wanted to know, and that I will never speak of. There are headlines out there that people read and are up in arms about...that are lacking one sentence...'courtesy of Timberwolf.'"
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{speaks in whispers} It's not that simple, Fuzzy. You work with the people who I hurt! I killed Legion World citizens and was responsible for the death of at least one LMB ally! I tried to destroy Legion World, Fuzzy! Any of this sounding familiar?
{shakes her head} I...was in a different frame of mind back then. But I'm still no saint. I'm....kinda blackmailing someone.
Ugh. {she can't believe she's opening up about herself so completely to him}
Posted by Timber Wolf on :
"So why tell me? Do you think I'm going to go running to them? Turn you in? So you're not an angel...neither am I. Has anyone in your family been assassinated?" He stops himself.
"If you're who I am thinking...and it's pretty obvious who you are based on what you just said...yeah, if I wanted to, I could have them knocking out the wall of this place to drag you in...but all I really know is this...you've saved Des and I. We would be dead right now if you were still that person. No one would have questioned you if you had said that we weren't close enough to save...hell I'm surprised we even made it out of that blast alive regardless. But the fact remains that you didn't, and that tells me more about you than anything you've done in the past. That tells me who you are today."
He looks at her and lifts her chin so she looks in his eyes. "Lardy is a good man, but he's not gonna be able to do what you need done out there. I know what the climate is...hell I caused parts of it, but I can help you if you want. It's a huge game, and you need a a piece that doesn't have to operate using a rulebook. I've toppled governments before, and will probably do it again no matter what your decision is."
Posted by Hot Chick on :
You...you're more remarkable than I ever imagined! {squeezes his hands tightly}
{she goes for broke and tells him everything, beginning with...} As you've probably guessed, already, my true name is Kalla Hrykos..... {continues until her story is told}
Posted by Timber Wolf on :
He listens, taking everything in. When she finishes, he smiles.
"Alright then. After this mess is over with, I have one personal bit of business to handle. Then we figure out the first move."
He slides out of his seat, and offers his hand to help her up. "Let's walk."
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{smiles, feeling the relief of their new openness} Lead the way, Fuzzy! {moves his arm so it's behind her back with his hand at her waist as they walk}
Posted by Timber Wolf on :
As they walk, there is a beeping sound from his belt.
"Got to take this one. He answers, "Give me some good news. Okay. They're where. Good. We can;t leave yet. I understand that, but things are too hot here to risk us leaving. No. Keep trailing them and keep me updated."
Hot chick looked at him.
"It's the personal thing I have to take care of after this is over." He sighs, "hold on. I have to call Dev."
He activates his comlink, "Hey. Yeah, I know. I just got an update. Yes, they're fine and still pretty local. No,, not on planet since yesterday, but I have people on it. They're not going anywhere, and they are reported as being in a good mood. I know that, but they are with their mother. Yes, I know that too...but unfortunately, it's a fact. not yet, I hope to know something on that front soon, but there is pretty much nothing to go on. The image was pretty garbled. I'll let you know."
He put the com-link away, and looks at her. "Okay, here's the lowdown on that personal issue I have to attend to. Short version. Dev got married fifteen years ago to a woman whom I never met. they met, fell in love and got married real quick like. Fourteen years ago, she;s in an accident...makes a full recovery, they have two kids and life is going great. They start fighting several years ago about his time away from home and she wants a divorce. He talks her out of it...they've been strained for years...barely holding on. He comes across like everything is alright...which is easy when you can change your appearance at will. Fact is, he had papers ready to go as of last week. She must have found out about this and panicked. Here's where it get's weird. From what little I;ve had to go on, Mrs's Em actually was replaced sometime after the crash and before the kids came around. Don't know why yet...only reason we found out was because a security camera captured an image of our mom and wife leaving with the kids less than 48 hours ago. That made me suspicious when the attacks happened, and one of the things I needed to find out was where the real Mrs. Em was. I came across her by accident really, when checking the vids at the Casino right before it went boom. An image of her lying on the ground in the middle of all the chaos. Problem ended up being, when I came across the body at the morgue, the stings were partially healed over. Barely able to detect it, but the smell a body gets after it's been in stasis for a long time is there and I can detect it."
He licks his lips, "sorry. Babbling. As of right now, they are still local by transport standards and safe. I have a team training them and keeping me aprised. If thy bolt to fast, we;re on them. Otherwise, we have time for my brother to do his duty for his friends...he really is a boy scout. sure he;s got some odd edges, but he genuinely cares about his friends."
His alert goes off again. He answers it, "Hey. What? Where? We're on our way."
He shoves it in it;s pouch. "We got another problem...Lard Bots. C'mon."

Guy walks into Cafe Cramer and says "Can i get a cuppa coffee? Thanks." Then he sits down and drinks it. Then he leaves.

Caffeine!
Ahhhh, I missed this...
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
Question Lad and Red Arrow go in to pick up coffee for the Security Office when they spot Invisible Brainiac.
"Hello," Red Arrow said.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
"Why, hello, Red Arrow, Question Lad. Fancy having a relaxing cup of tea with me?" Invisible Brainiac replies. "It's a shame we had to cut our Earth trip short. Duty calls though..."
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
The two of them agreed to have tea with Invisible Brainiac. Question Lad asked, "Emily and I are planning to take a trip to Raltvee next weekend. Would you be interested in coming along?"
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Thanks for the invite, I'd love to. What is there to see in Raltvee, and may I bring Blaze along?
(PS, you should really try some of the chamomile tea. It's amazing!)
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
She smiled, "Of course she can come along."
Question Lad asked Red Arrow to get out the travel guide, and she passed it to Invisible Brainiac. Question Lad said, "Raltvee, the capital of the Republic of Raltvee, is a planet almost completely covered by water. A couple of centuries ago lots of religious people chose to settle there because they didn't have much money. They raised much of the land by the use of technology. There are many beautiful palaces, towers and gardens."
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
"Towers and gardens sound just like my thing, and I love the water. Count me in, then!"
IB takes out his phone and sends a message.
As he pores over the travel guide, he grabs some freshly made chocolate cookies. "Would you like some, or would you prefer the gingerbread?"
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
"These are perfectly fine," Emily answered. She grabbed one cookie, and Sebastian grabbed four cookies.
She asked, "What books have you been reading lately?"
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
*IB quickly swallows his cookie*
I've been reading the Dark Oval series. Fascinating read! And Truth and Perfection, of course. There are a lot of online books being published by various Legion World residents. You should try them out.

<Having traveled back to Legion World - fresh from his "eclipsing" on Earth by the power of the black diamond - a transformed Exnihil enters Cafe Cramer>
<Speaking to a voice only he can hear, Ex makes his way to the counter>
Ex: I said I would!
The black diamond's silent voice: REMEMBER... IT MUST BE EEEEEEVIL! THE ONLY WAY YOUR POWER WILL INCREASE IS THROUGH THE PROPAGATION OF EEEEEEEEEVIL!
Ex: I heard you the first forty times! Grife!
<A bored looking barrista watches Ex approach. She hates the night shift>
Barrista: Sigh... what can I get started for you?
Ex: A large coffee... err... Black! Yes... black as the night! Black as the heart of a thousand dying stars!
Barrista: Whatever... <she turns around to the coffee pots>
The black diamond's silent voice: WHAT WAS THAT?
Ex: This is hard, OK? I'm just getting started!
Barrista: One black coffee... 2 credits.
Ex: Can you break a twenty?
The black diamond's silent voice: DO NOT ASK HER... TELL HER!!!
Ex: I mean... you're going to break this twenty! Or face the vengeance of...
Barrista: Sigh... here's your change.
Ex: Thank y... I mean... The will of Exnihilo be done!
<Ex takes his coffee and moves to the prep station where he takes a cardboard heat protector... then pauses>
Ex: Wait... if I take all these protectors... then the next customer will have none! He will burn his fingers! Slightly! EEEEEEVIL!
<Ex takes takes the remaining heat protectors and tosses them in the trash>
Ex: EEEEEEEVIL!!! Mwhah-ha-ha!!!
The black diamond's silent voice: WE HAVE TO WORK ON THIS. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :

Coffee. Medium. Black.
< Barista scowls under he breath, muttering about her roommate Moonbeam >
Thanks.
< hands 2 credits and then grabs coffee without protector >
SONUVA...!!
Posted by Legion Tracker on :
<As Legion Tracker opens the door, some guy at the bar is cursing loudly and flapping one of his hands. LT hesitates and steps toward a seat to wait for the uproar to settle. Opening his commpad, he rereads a note from his lover, and aloud he speaks her closing mark...>
XOXOXO
<Suddenly he notices a shadowy figure in the corner....>
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
<Blaze teased Invisible Brainiac as they flew through space towards Raltvee>
"Aren't you worried something will happen on Legion World while we're on vacation?"
<IB chuckles as he kisses Blaze's neck>
"I'm sure they can handle it. What kind of menace could possibly rear its head that they can't defeat without my light powers?"
<and the two continue to zip off into space>
Posted by Kinetix (Zoe Saugin) on :
Caffeine!
Ahhh, this place is definitely one of my favorites here on LW...
Hmmm, wonder who that is in those dark colors in the corner? Could sure use a makeover. Maybe he doesn't know it's not Halloween anymore.

<Dedman sat sipping on a fine medium roast from SummerWorld. He watched the other's enter and order over the rim of his mug>
"I wonder if one of them sent it" he mused to himself.
<"It" sat on the table before him. A cube about 3 inches to a side, wrapped in something that looked disturbingly like skin. The green wax seal bore a mark like a bent branch. Attached was a tag reading "from a fan. open me">
Posted by Kinetix (Zoe Saugin) on :
<enjoys a caramel macchiato while lounging beside the fireplace>
Let's have some cookies... <telekinetically lifts a green tea cookie towards her>
Say, maybe that brooding guy in the corner could use a cookie.
<sends a cookie over in a ball of telekinetic light>
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
"I'm sleepy..." Blaze was leaning against IB.
"Again?" IB said. "But yeah, you only got 7 hours of sleep last night..."
"Hmph," Blaze pouted. "When we stay up all night drinking, you sleep longer the next day."
"Okay, okay," IB said as he threw up his hands. "Let's not argue. Okay, wait here and I'll pick up some coffee from Cafe Cramer's. Be back in... 6.5 minutes."
*IB quickly zips back to LW then says CAFFEINE!*
"Okay, what would Blaze like... hm.... ah, mint caramel."
*whistles while waiting invisibly, so nobody catches on he's here*
"Hmmm, there's Kinetix, and Dedman, and Cobie... and some weird guy in the corner cackling to himself... and Kinetix is being nice by giving him a cookie, but he didn't even bother to bite it... Ah, there's my order!"
*quickly zips off back to where he left Blaze*
Posted by Kinetix (Zoe Saugin) on :
ugh, didn't anyone tell this weird cackling guy that he's so rude?
Hmph, no matter. I have to get ready to go to Rimbor.
*flies out of the door*
Posted by Rond Vidar on :
<Rond walks through the door of a busy cafe. After waiting for ages in line as the Barista seems more interested in chatting than serving coffee>
<Rond finally gets his straight black coffee to go.>
"Hey they're out of coffee cozys!" <looks in the trash to see piles of soiled protectors for hot coffee >
"who would do such a thing??? What a MONSTER!!! I bet it was Harmonia! That .... grrrrrrr. She's ruining EVERYTHING!!! She'll probably get the promotion at the Time Institute instead of ME!! I can not have her for a boss! For someone who's immortal she isn't even capable of mastering the basics of future time travel!"
<sets coffee down as it begins to burn his hands>
" Ow! I guess I'll be drinking my coffee HERE, I really need it after that late night at Shakes! I'm having a hard time even remembering the basic formulas for faster than light travel ...."
<Rond has a seat in the corner ... feeling anti social after his bender at Shakes.>
