Ok, cool. I hope the kid's menus double as coloring books and come with a small pack of crayons? If so, please be sure to give one to Xandax. You know he wants one..... :speech:dragon wench wrote:Of course! All ages welcome!
As long as they don't come up to the bar asking for a pint though, I don't want to be arrested for serving minors
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.

*passes Xandax his very own more adult-themed placemat and menu*
EDIT:
Oops! Forgot the crayons! *passes boxes of mini crayons to Gwally and Xandax*
Oh, we have lots of menus and placemats that double as colouring books, though bearing in mind the eclectic clientelle we have a large variety of "themes."Gwalchmai wrote:Ok, cool.

I'll have a carbonated high fructose corn syrup sugar bomb beverage laced with Wild Turkey, please. And if you would, please add a grease burger slathered with a generous amount of mayonaisse on the side. I prefer the bun to be enriched bleached flour (no "organic hippy bread," please ), my condiments to be excessively burdened with sodium and sugar, and my napkins to be made of 0% post-consumer content.
Oh, and you might attract fable in here if you'll play some episodes of Barney on the big-screen TVs. I heard he's a big fan of Barney.

Oh, and with such an impassioned plea, how could I refuse to also include a portion of ultra greasy fries with extra packet-derived gravy.
Funny..... I never would have associated a Babylonian deity with a pudgy purple dinosaur.. Didn't the Babylonians come after?

Why DW...I am sure fable has fond memories of the dinosaurs - from the days of his youth, of course. Perhaps the Purple One summons pleasant recollections from those halcyon days in Deity Primary School.dragon wench wrote:Funny.....

Ug. Even my kids don't like Barney, and my wife refuses to watch on account that the children who appear with the Great Purple Marshmallow are in her words, "creepy." But I guess there's no accounting for a Babylonian deity's taste.....
Thanks for the crayons, DW. I'm gonna shred mine up and melt them between sheets of wax paper to make 'stained glass'. For some odd reason in the nymphs and dryads in my stained glass never seem to be clothed.....

Back in Babylon, we never had purple dinosaurs. We had purple elephants and laughing, purple snakes, but that was only the morning after and if you got your fortified beverages from Omrus the Circassian Fish-Slapper.
Who actually looked a lot like Aegis, now that I recall. Hmmmm...
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

lol! Actually...when our son was small we told him that Barney had been incarcerated because he caused an accident while driving a school bus. When I think of it now.. that was probably unwise but it forestalled any possibility of having to watch Barney, which, I'm sure, saved our son from even more damage.Gwally wrote:Ug.

You obviously were using the wrong kind of hallucinogenics...I'm certain I read that all the right kinds of trips involve purple dinosaurs....Back in Babylon, we never had purple dinosaurs.

Of course... if one of Aegis' distant ancestors was your supplier....well anything would have been possible... :laugh:
Of course we serve Guinness, it wouldn't be a fine establishment if we didn't!Mr Sir wrote: Do you serve Guinness in this fine establishment? If so, I'll have a nice cool pint of Guinness Extra Cold please While I'm at it, can I have the same burger as Chanak? That sounds really really good

Okay, I might give it a try but I'm really bad at poetry. Okay, here goes:dragon wench wrote: Welcome to the Gull's Roost Tavern, a meeting ground for old sailors, restless spirits and thirsty wanderers
I'm neither old nor a sailor as I'm 20 and I have an avatar of a soldier,
I'm not restless as I am not that active (though I do go out and exercise) and I'm not a spirit as I'm still alive,
I am not thirsty because I drink water regularly but I am somewhat of a wanderer since I hang around different forums.
There. Hope this sums up as a poem (I know, it stinks ).
Hmm. Usually I always regard beverages as hot drinks. I don't classify orange juice or other cold drinks as beverages, in my opinion. Didn't know those count as well.Dragon Wench wrote: I define "beverage" by any substance one can drink... Er... on second thought, I'd better clarify... So, for example, fruit juices, water, tea, coffee, sodas, alcohol etc. are *all* beverages in my books
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
I spent the last two days in a place like that - unfortunately I did only experience the above for 5 minutes, and the rest of the time inside a conference room. Some of my friends envy me because I travel to all these conferences and meeting - yeah, great, I see more airports and more hotel rooms than they dodragon wench wrote:The raucous crying of gulls and the crash of surf upon cliffs resonates within your ears, while the tang of ocean brine fills your lungs with each breath.
The sun is bright and the wind, blowing in from the west, is invigorating.
Yawn, I'm exhausted...a cold cranberry juice served by a handsome male with a pretty butt would be perfect right now.
Pretty butt or not, I don't want a fish in my head so I hope Aegis keeps his distance.

@Des,
lol! Good stuff!
Hmm.. Well [url="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=beverage&x=44&y=12"]dictionary.com[/url] gives some conflicting definitions of beverage
I have come down with an ugly cold, and have that 'head full of cotton wool' feeling, but if anyone else can add more to this mystery please do
@CE,
That must have been sheer torture, being in so beautiful a location without being able to enjoy it. I hope at least the conference made up a little.
Something a bit similar happened to us once. We were driving down to San Francisco via the coastal route. However, we were under severe time restraints (the start of uni was coming up), so we could only really gaze in awe from the windows at the amazing the scenery of the Oregon Coast and Northern California. Happily, we remedied this a few years ago when we drove down there a second time, and we spent numerous happy hours by the ocean's edge.
lol! *whistles for exotically handsome with cute butt server to attend to CE's requirements*
I take it you won't be ordering any of the fish specials on the menu then?
lol! Good stuff!

Well, according to The Free Dictionary's [url="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/beverage"]definition[/url], it mentioned 'beverage'as any liquid except water. Oh well, I'll keep to either classification.dragon wench wrote: Hmm..

On that note I'm off to brew up some hot lemon. Ugh... I hate summer colds.. It's probably psychological but they always feel worse than those you get in the winter

Mystic Thief spots a quiet corner of the tavern where it's darkly lit. She saunters on over and pulls out a chair. Her Tanto of Lightning Shock is placed carefully on the table furthest away from nimble fingers.
She removes several amulets, expensive rings, bracers, chitin boots, swords, shields, axes, spears, arrows and assorted apparel before settling down.
She gives the passong wench a nod over and orders a jug of lager, nipple cold, and a straw.
Settling back after her first pull, she watches the hot potch of clientel from underneath her dark hood. Her eyes naturally skim over pockets and expensive armour.
