I think I'll try making a signature drink for Icey... let's see, some Smirnoff Ice... maybe a dash of Tabasco sauce for the "fire" part...

Hmm...



I think I'd better leave this to the professionals...

Hey STU! How are you tonight? Did you burn your tongue on that concoction you were working on?

Does this place serve Advil?

BTW, I mentioned to some people that my hellpup had sugery today. Happily everything went well and she's now back home and resting not quite comfortably. She won't be winning any beauty contests for awhile, though. Her rear end gives new meaning to the phrase "butt ugly".

As bonus good news the procedure cost $300.00 less than the estimate.

Arachne,

I hope all goes well with the pup.

I'm sure there is Advil behind the bar. Lemme just check...

Thanks Danny. It looks like she should be pretty much back to normal for Christmas.

Perfect timing then.

Defintely.

Yeah, and I don't think the proportions were quite right.

Nobody does it like Semi!

Hey Arachne! Glad to hear that everything went well with the pup!

I'll drink to that.

Great news, Arachne, and I sure quite a relief for you. Hope your pup is up and about in no time!

I'm going to have a VaVaVaVee to give me the va-va-va-voom I need to make it through the day. (I can't believe it's only Thursday...)

Nothing like a quick beer in the afternoon! Especially because I'm taking a two week vacation until after the New Year! Why? Because I after 22 years of hard work, I deserve it !

Sadly though, I think I'm coming down with a cold on my first day off...

Anyone here?

Hi Icey, I guess it's time i made a signature drink for you. I call it the Frozen Volcano. It's two frozen blended drinks poured together to look like lava.

First is white rum based:

shot of white rum and sweet and sour. Blend with ice.

Second is tequila based.

shot of tequila
grenadine
sweet and sour
Blend with ice.

Pour both frozen drinks carefully into a margarita glass in swirls so that the white and red reamain separate.

Guaranteed to put some ice-fire in your veins.

Arachne, I hope your dog is recovering well. I know from personal experience what a worry it is. And I'm glad your vet bill came in under estimate. That's a first. I dread everytime I go to the vet. They have an uncanny knack for knowing exactly how much is in my bank account and cleaning it out.

I love SHAKES.

So, with a nod to Toby Keith:

We got lurkers, we got cruisers
Butt-heads [1] and boozers [2]
And we got Michaels, we got Matthews
And lots of what-have-yous
And the girls next door [3] dress up like they're from the stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar

We got cowboys [4], we got truckers [5]
Cheerleaders [6] and suckers [7]
And we got robots [8], we got fighters [9]
Early birds [10] and all-nighters [11]
And the veterans talk about their battle scars [12]

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

Chorus:
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just clickin' on this thread always
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen old timers [13], we got young bucks [14]
Southern boys [15] and Canucks [16]
And we got lovers [17], lots of lookers [18]
And I've even seen shrinking girls [19] and hookers [20]
And a boy who gets his power from the stars [21]

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
O, yes I do

I like my comics (I like my comics)
I like my girlfriend (or boyfriend, as applicable)
I like to take her (him) out to dinner [22]
I like a movie now and then [23]

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just reading through the posts here
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

Wow, STU, that's amazing. You certainly are living up to your title as leader.

Awwww...

Encore! Encore!

Great work, Stu.

Now, how about a cherry brandy?

Stu, a man of many artistic talents! You all ought to see the Christmas card he sent to Caroline and I. In fact, I may just have to post a scan of it.

Thank you!

Here's a cherry brandy for you -- and I'll be having one for myself too.

Sure! (Just crop out the mushy stuff, please. )

I promise to only show the front of the card.

No reaction when I post the same song ;(

Must have been the footnotes...
