@stoner about the 2237 mark

Hah! I am yet to reach Spammer status

*Ysh surveys the bar*

My goodness it has been busy in here.

*She works her way around throwing open a few windo....*

Stoner!!! what HAVE you done to the bar???

*Ysh picks up a broom and starts sweeping up the broken glass, hoping Stoner makes a more subtle entrance with offers of help*

Do you need a hand?

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 7:02 am

@Mr Sleep - thank you and yes please...

I need to get this room back in order before the early evening rush...

I cannot have us getting a reputation for destructive behaviour inside the bar - maybe I should consider asking Gwally to lend me his robotic bouncer...

Actually that's a thought - maybe I could borrow his barmaid as well

*Ysh hands Mr Sleep a cloth and some WD40* Can you make a start on the oil stains please? I will give you a day off in lieu for half a days work...

*Ysh calls Blue Circle and requests delivery of five wagons of gravel*

We will lay this in the car park and encourage all vehicular displays to be performed outside...

Thanks Sleepy

Damn I just took a physics test and I am WHOOPED.

@Mr Sleep - good job - thanks!

- Take the rest of the day off and pop in for a spam sandwich later

For those of you 'nutters' that are interested - there is now a vehicular playground outside - complete with gravel pit, makeshift grandstand and a BBQ for the spam

As this is Virtua - plenty of sunshine too

*Ysh wipes the sweat from her brow and returns to the more mundane polishing of pumps*

"Folks" is not "too friendly." Too generic, maybe; but not too friendly. It is a word that can be used when talking about anyone, from Nazis to your parents to terrorists to spies to anyone else in this world. You're obviously searching for anything that Bush does "wrong" and that in itself is a wrong thing to do in a time like this. *glares* I honestly didn't think you were the type to do this kind of thing, Georgi.

@Fas I would bet that I have a bigger vocabulary than you and I use the word folks fairly often in lots of ways. Whether or not it was the best word to use in that sentence doesn't matter in the least. *glares*

In fact, I'll show you why it was a better word to use than monsters, looking at it from a Public Speaking perspective.

If Bush were trying to incite the American people to war(not that it would necessarily take much), the use of the word "monsters" to describe the terrorist would be perfect. Bush, however, is not trying to get a war to start, thus he used the word "folks" which doesn't elicit the same kinda response. The point of the sentence was that they will be caught. Using words that encourage anger will not help this country remain calm enough to handle the situation correctly.

@SS, Georgi and Fas -

Nothing heavy in the bar please, this is supposed to be chilling space

I hate to be a bore, but if this bar deteriorates to too low a level I will be forced to bring in the heavies

Gwally!! Where's the robot?

C'mon guys breathe in and count to ten - I am not trying to make light of your concerns but we did ask to keep this space free for chilling

Can this not go to the 'what do you think about Bush' thread, or the 'what should Bush do next'

Thanks

bring in the heavies? what's the pay scale?

uh....is the bar open?

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 8:34 am

@Blood - LOL! There would be an element of danger pay involved

The bar is open

Though I might have to dash briefly in a little while - could you keep the place in order when I leave?

How do you think you did in your physics test?

*KidD shows up frmo the door, biting his fovorite cigar* DAMN this is the first time I use the front door.....

SO anyway Ysh dearie where you want to put those new sipment of whiskey now ?

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 8:59 am

Hey Kid *hugs* thanks for the delivery

There is a spot, just at the end of the bar - you know near Bloodstalkers stool

(on second thoughts you better secrete a couple of bottles behind the bar

)

Don't sit there!!! It is still damp with WD40 - Mr Sleep had particular problems getting the oil of that one...

How are you

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 9:03 am

How do you think you did in your physics test

well, that was the reason I was wondering if the bar was open...hehe

I think I bombed the test

but hey, I still got loads of personality!!

oh yeah, do you REALLY want to turn the bar over to someone like me?

*eyes the bottles lovingly*

Okey Dokey Ysh

I'm OK for today......BTW I got a bad dream last nite. I dreamed I was standing in front a mirror and next thing I know I saw a shadow of a scary woman in the mirror. But that ghost is unlucky since I staightly punch the mirror....I can see her face so sour then

Anyway Sleepy playing with WD40 ? Hmmmm lubricant huh ?

You would know

That dream was quite worrying, do you want me to analyse it for you... i can also read your fortune if you want

KidD01 · Post by **KidD01** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 10:01 am

Do I get a fortune cookie for that ? If yes then please translate it for me

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 10:17 am

looks around for yshania....hhmmm no one here, I guess it wouldn't hurt though, maybe she'll never even notice it....ok back up the truck boys, put the hot tub right over in the corner. watch the floor, becareful of the bar, and whatever you do, DON"T SPILL NO WHISKEY!!!.

oh yeah, if you can manage it, try to miss the bumps under the carpet, but if it comes down to a choice between them and the whiskey, well, just pretend they are speed bumps.
