Fishy's moral dilemma

Post by theCryptofishist » Fri Feb 11, 2005 1:55 pm

Do I save the waffles by demanding a waffle loyalty oath from all bar patrons?


Or

Do I risk the waffles being stolen by Martiansky, Buckethead Alien and any other space visitor, but keep the open spirit of the bar intact?

man, wasted time on a keyword search.

for the waffles, I was trying to find this great parody of a liquor bottle titled "Uncle Julius's Fine Maple Syrup Liquor" from the comic book "cerebus".

No luck...

Another moment of comedy lost...

Oh well, a lack of objections=consent. It is the americanway.

All Bar Patrons Must Swear to Protect the Waffles BEFORE Recieving a Drink!!! This Means You!
She hangs it on the wall behind the bar*

Wow, no one's been drinking for almost 30 minutes. Has the bar ever been so quiet on a Friday afternoon? I guess everyone is otherwise engaged...

Hey fishy, want some blood worms?

Deep breath.

Thanks, fishy. I think I'll need that. But something stronger to drink.

Hey, wait a minute... did you just violate your own oath there?

I think the work is done. There's no rooting the jester out of there, but the rest of you will notice that I've superglued your asses to your stools. This is for your own good.

Let me know if it tastes ok.

In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Waffle cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever.

Okay, it's about aliens landing on earth and taking our waffles.

I'll trust you this once, but you gotta understand this is the biggest threat that the bar's been under since the chipmonks.
