The next post in the tax break debate is up....

whew; what smells like stale beer in here?

Have you guys been 'over consuming' again?

Glad to be of service...

I was bad this weekend...750 ml of Bacardi Gold...plus a pint...

According to the theory of drip down economics, over consumption by the really rich folks will lead to the poor folks having more money

Just trying to help out during the worlds hour of need.

Stocks in Guinness are up as a result of my debauch - although I have to say I'm not one of the rich folks at all

Hey! That's my theory in this debate (and this debate only since I don't subscribe to that theory). Shhh

Hey budski welcome back.
Just to give you a heads up, I will be posting my response late this evening.

I have to drive to NYC later this afternoon and I will do it from there.
Thanks to Shock I obviously did no work on it all weekend.

Nice one Sdog - I look forwards to it.

I may even make allowances for your tiredness from all that driving

or not



I was going to say "you're going down" like the "wrestlers" and boxers do.

but given the nature of some of the latest posts in this thread I thought I'd better re-phrase it

Hey, I'm feelin' a little short changed and shrifted here. My arrival on Friday did not produce merriments of any sort. Nor was I either requested to retireve, or offered, a drink.

I guess all that talk of blood and virginity was too much for the refined sensibilites of the *ahem* men of this establishment.

But I'm glad for you Dingbat, really, I am.... because I don't have to go fetchin' the drinks. And now that I think about it, I'm a little parched. I'll have a Maker's and you can just leave the bottle... maybe that will make me a few friends around here.

Sorry you feel left out

Here's a broom,

you presumably know where the floor is

Getting drinks isn't the only job that needs doing around here.

Now get to it.

Here ya are, Twis!



Ya want I should leave the jar?







Just kidding, here ya go... neat, I presume?

Where's my drink? [/chutzpah]

I noticed that too..., I figured they were still pretty lit from last time!

Be forewarned, I can't drink and clean... it makes me mean.




But I appreciate the whiskey and cherries, thanks Ian. You know how to make a girl feel special.

Thanks for the kind words MemoryShock.

But I will not be rubbing you for luck. Sorry 'bout that.



Thanks titorite



I think they were all preoccupied with the unicorns on the loose when you came in. I see Ian's already gotten you started, but in case you run out ...



Just do me a favor and watch my back, will you? They already had me dress up funny

(starts putting out the happy hour snacks)

Don't you worry, the fools have already armed me with a broom!..... MUWHAHAHAHA!

(side comment to SDog: yes, recycling...guilty)

Ah, fresh blood, err, cheap labor, no damn it fresh-faced fighters!

There are a couple of rules to remember when tending the bar.

1) No drinking the good stuff while on shift, that's reserved for the seasoned fighters, and...

2) MemoryShock is always right. Even when he's wrong. Trust me, this will make your lives in the Fight Club much more bearable.

I'm in the mood for something sweet. I'll have a Mimosa, please. Use only fresh squeezed blood oranges. Thanks and welcome aboard!

She's right, I can be a true Tyrant.

Why just the other day I glared in a very contempuous manner at a driver who turned out of order at the intersection...that guy was lucky I didn't honk the horn to get his attention so that he could see just how contemptuous I was!

Salty snacks for the hungry...


Mimosa for the lady...


And a little something for those still getting over the weekend:


I used to have a friend who took it with vodka, but that always sounded pretty gross to me. Still, if anyone wants?

That was you?

Nicely done!

Cheese tray. Assorted munchies. Blood Orange Mimosa.

The other new fighters could pick up a tip or two from you.

INT. DEBATE PUB CLUB - NIGHT

CLOSE ON - MARIA_STARDUST:

In SLO-MO we SEE the VIXEN, Maria_Stardust, tauntingly exhorting:



INT. DEBATE CLUB PUB - NIGHT - SAME TIME

CLOSE ON: TWISI - clutching her BROOM; despairing, desiccated. Her eyes are feverish and confused. BEAT. BEAT.

PULL BACK - WE SEE TWISI as she CRUMPLES, exhausted, falling on the liquor soaked floor.



The CAMERA PANS around the pub lingering briefly on the assorted FIGHTERS who are too busy jockeying for position over DINGBAT'S delicious CHEESE PLATE to care that the latest cheap labor/fresh meat/floor sweeper has fallen:

ANGLE ON: TWISI - WE SEE her from BEHIND as she struggles to clamber up the nearest wall. BEAT. BEAT.



Slowly, she begins to TURN -- suspense MUSIC builds -- UNTIL WE SEE:




THE HORROR!!!!!
