Alcohol, hmmm?

I'll have a screwdriver, but hold the vodka

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

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:

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."

*passes Gwally placemats depicting frolicking fairies and rackish dragons*
*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*

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.

lmao! *serves Chan an excessively caloric grease burger with all the trimmings, and a high voltage Wild Turkey C0cktail
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.

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.....

I smell Turkey.....wait...

*notices Barney on the big screen. Pulls out shotgun and blows a whole in the screen*

That's better. Now, Turkey?

I knew I heard my name being taken in vain. That happens a lot, these days.

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...

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 :laugh:

*pictures Fable, wearing robes and sandals and standing in a circle along with other 'youngling' deities as they all sing I love you...you love me...*

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.

You're welcome! Hmmm...strange that.. Is your inner druid coming out of retirement again?

You obviously were using the wrong kind of hallucinogenics...I'm certain I read that all the right kinds of trips involve 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!
*One perfectly cooled Guinness and "Roosting Gull Burger" for your consuming pleasure*

Can we get a wide screen tv to replace the one with the huge hole in it lol. There should be a ban on Barney though - Teletubbies is much more intellectual

*sips guiness and eats burger* ah thats much better

I don't see why not. But as for content, you'll have to negotiate that with BS and his shotgun

I have gone by many names. Mostly single termed names like "Slapper", "Electroplankton", "Bob. You know, that sort of thing. You can all call me something less syllably intensive. Personally, I enjoy "Sir".

dragon wench wrote: Welcome to the Gull's Roost Tavern, a meeting ground for old sailors, restless spirits and thirsty wanderers

Okay, I might give it a try but I'm really bad at poetry. Okay, here goes:
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 ).

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

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.

The sun is bright and the wind, blowing in from the west, is invigorating.

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 do

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?

Thanks. Though I think that some parts of the poem don't rhyme at all.

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.

Well poems don't need to rhyme

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.
