I need a drink right now. How about a Rob Roy? I had one at a party recently. It was kinda cool. Hold the cherry, though.

What's in a Rob Roy? Sounds like there should be bourbon in it for some reason.

It's made with Scotch, sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters. Traditionally it's garnished with a maraschino cherry, but I really dislike those.
It's apparently similar to a Manhattan, but made with Scotch instead of another whisk(e)y.
Oh, and I hope you've dropped that cherry, Semi. I just didn't want it in my drink, thank you.

Bad boy, Kent Shakespeare! ![[Linked Image]](http://tvbb.zap2it.com/images/graemlins/spank.gif) Actually, I gave the cherry to Giant Robotic Lesbian. She loves them.

Mid-week, mid-winter blahs. Something else else to perk one up, bartender!

Semi, I'll have a Shirley Temple to go...and please tell Babette that I've moved on and gotten elected as co-deputy of the LMB.
Tell her I valued our friendship while it lasted and will always have good memories of that time.

A toast!
To Faraway Lad, our fearless leader!
To Nova Girl and Clive, our capable deputies!
Truly a dream team!

<leaves> Congratulations, Clive, our esteemed patron. A Shirley Temple will never be served at SHAKES. Even Mrs. Black herself would stiffen at the suggestion. If it's your image you're concerned about, how about a nice sparkling mountain spring water with a twist of lime and a dash of Angostura Bitters (to make it just a tad interesting). And don't give up on Babette just yet. I hear she's considering the partial humanification process.

Truly a dream team! A toast ... hell, why not the whole loaf!!! Here's to the new leaders. Faraway, you're no stranger to SHAKES. It's an honor to have one of our own at the helm. Clive is also no stranger and I hope Nova Girl will soon cease to be one. You shall always find a quiet table and cozy fire to welcome you after a tiring day of administering Legion World.

And don't give up on Babette just yet. I hear she's considering the partial humanification process.[/QB] <tastes> ummm...nice! Actally, my lack of desire for alcohol is not image-based, but well...I got drunk after that last date with Babette, and well---have you ever HAD a hangover?!? I've never felt so bad in my LIFE! Why would ANYONE drink again after experiencing THAT!?!? So as a recently 'humanified' sentient I decided that drinking's just not for me, y'know? As for Babette, well...I just don't want to come off as a stalker, y'know? I like her a lot. I guess it's the "opposites attract" thing I hear so much about. I'm what they call kind of a geek who's uncomfortable with himself, and she's so...NOT uncomfortable with herself, y'know? So confident and free-spirited! I admire her immensely! And when I was around her I felt like she was bringing me out of my shell like never before or since. I don't know whether my "opposite-ness" brought did anything like that for her. I've often wondered about that. Anyhow, I'm not sure what you meant about "partial humanification", but if she's really not ready to close the book on us, I would certainly be up for another go. I'm staying at the Rookery now if she ever weants to contact me.

Clive, I think you've got a shot with Babette.

Do you check IDs? And if so, do you take fake ones?

Speaking of which, some crown royal and soda for me this morning Semi. I'm still a little beat up from the weekend...

All I ask is for drunken shenanigans to ensue.

For some reason I have a sudden urge to run away...  Though I'm pretty sure my drunken shenanigans wouldn't be the type you were thinking of. Just a guess.

You've obviously been listening to the stories about me. I promise, only about 2/3's are true.

Your name does seem to be synonymous with debauchery around here.
