i don't know how horrible or likeable i am, but with 6 billion people out there, there has to be someoen for me regardless

At least, if you don't mind leaving the dog alone for a few nights every now and again.

I met my wife when I decided to get away from the public radio station I was managing, and took part in weekly Celtic dance events. There were usually no more than about twenty people, and the music was all live. A small group of us would go afterwards to hottub, and maybe catch a litle pizza. We dated...and dated...and dated...then I moved away to another public radio job. The phone company made a small fortune off us. Eventually, that job soured, and we decided to move in together.

As we hadn't killed one another three years later, we decided we could stand it for the rest of our lives, and married.

Don't give up.

oh' i've never given up, nor will i any time soon, but i am going to go from one extreme to the other. right now, i go out with huge groups of friends and it is hard to meet new people when you are surrounded by several men and women who are yoru friends.
and now i am going to be alone and not have anyone to go out with and meet soemone new.

@CE - i am moving to pittsburgh to be an administrator at a hospital

Hello, @Harry. We're discussing Nael's lack of time to meet the opposite sex. Maybe you can offer him so advice, as you gulp down a few orders of pancakes and spam.

I see--you're trying to cheer up Nael, right?

Look, Harry: try, okay? That will at least take your mind off your own problems.

Either that, or the two of you should just get drunk together.

A pancake joint with no chef... That is sad! I make good pancakes!

*slips a recipe on the counter and silently slips away, swallowing the last of the pancakes*

So you want to be one of my cooks, @Shadow, is that it? What sort of pancakes can you make?

Nice comment there nael @ Harry.

I've always thought that finding your True North is just like a butterfly...

...the more you aggressively catch it, the more it flutters away...

...just sit back, relax, and be yourself. You'll be surprised that this butterfly will somehow land on your shoulder on its own.

bump

I miss the old Spam and Pancake emporium.

I'd like a glass of Absolut and Cranberry Spam, and the Blue Plate Special for the day: Poopdeck Pappy's Snaggle Tooth.

Well, we now have a breakfast establishment and bar going... Excellant!

fable · Post by **fable** » Sat Jan 26, 2002 7:58 pm

Goodness.

It's back! My old storefront. Ah, I remember those days and nights--Brink making foaming concoctions that came to life, behind the bar. @CE bellydancing. Guess we'll need some more hired help. Let's see: bartenders, cooks, entertainment, bouncers, and, plenty of customers.

Tonight's special will be pancakes beaujolais. Guaranteed to please the heartiest appetite and the liver, too.

Well, I would offer Buzzy, but that damn bear is too hung over in the morning to do squat... Care for one of my other Canadian beasts to gaurd your establishment?

How about Syrdown. The Syrup drink Beaver!

Provided it stays at the door and doesn't venture near the drinks or desserts, sure.

I take it the thing is, um, restaurant-broken?

I think having a syrupy beaver by the door and all the patrons moderators has probably made this place too 'high brow' for the usual SYM crowd. But I'll work for minimum wage. My boss usually uses me as a hat stand (unless he rode his bike to work).

Make mine a Guiness with a picklet chaser and one for yourself. - Curdis !
