The Bar

Uh-hmmm...

(Pointing to the sign on the wall written in letters that are slightly scrawled out):

Though I no longer subscribe to the commercialism of holidays, I still feel it important to mark them for both those here now and for posterity’s sake. So with that in mind, I'd like to say:

WISHING ALL THE LOVELY, BEAUTIFUL EPLAYA LADIES A WONDERFUL, STUPENDOUS, FANTABULOUS VALENTINES DAY!!

(there's a big red heart with a black paw print in the middle at the bottom)

Watch that paw, I used magic ink... it'll reach out and give you a squeeze if you get close enough, but I think its got a mind of its own so use caution.

And I’m not a Minnesoten, fishy... though I’ve had many strange connections the past few years to people from that region.

Ok... gone again!!

*Fishy blows a kiss after the retreating cat. A small tear perhaps glistens at the corner of her eye. she mutters "he was a good friend to me last week when I needed one." She rustles around behind the bar and grabs a booklet. "I can buy my own damn porter, I'm a grown fish" She takes the book to the burn barrlel and throws it in. As the flames lick at the cover the title "Madame Mezzmer's Influence People Through Hip-No-Tism" can be read through the smoke.

WWI. I hate to find out what the battle of the Somme is like in the bar thread.

WTF??!! could someone point me in the direction of the roots of this 'rumour'?? please.

*grumbling as she pours another shot of jameson's into her mug of coffee...or rather her coffee-flavored mug of jameson's*

too big to navigate...it's a fucken bar... you generally don't know what was discussed last fucken week in a bar... of COURSE we pretend to drink...who the hell can manage this level of consumption in real life? it's just that we all really wish we could and this is the only way to do it without like, DYING of alcohol poisoning or some shit...grrf!
*sluuurp*

I just have to think that Larry Harvey would have to be grinning like hell at the way this thread has gotten people to talk and interact.

We play and pretend on the playa, we play and pretend in here. Seems no different to me.

And I hereby encourage all newbies to come in here, and the "Hello, what's your name..." thread and say “Hi”. If you're shy, then say howdy to me first. I'm a shy person too, in reality. It's hard to just barge into a new place... fear of rejection and all that. I understand this much better than one might think from reading this thread alone. Read some of my posts from way back.

Hope it's just a rumor, and I'll just treat it as such until I find out otherwise.
Would an occasional stop by the "Hello introduce yourself" thread with an explination help? Could we adapt the "Index" thread as sort of an introduction to the highlights?

yeungling....ALWAYS yeungling

A fine choice. Last night I enjoyed a pint of Carlsberg, the first I had tasted of that label for quite a while.

i dont know if u noticed this...but it pissed me off something awful when i got off of the plane in reno...went into a liquor store and asked for a case of yeungling and the guy behind the counter said..."a case of..what?" i had to spend the whole week in the desert without.... is it just me or does yeungling not exist outside of the tristate area??

picks up a blue feather and examines it

Psst. Did the trolls eat the board over teh weekend? Is anything dangerous going on that I need to know about? Is anyone out for more blood?
*fishy ducks behind the bar and scuttles to the NEB to hide out*

AHHHH! I think someone is trying to steal my identity! This is not one of my feathers!

It's okay, thanks for the heads up

Hi and bye Jason.

When I crept in this morning I was still a little edgy from the Friday Freakout. I don't know if the wings were disguise, armour or a quick getaway, but I felt compelled to wear them.

Slow today.

As if we ourselves were trapped in WWI trenches.

Another Pete's Wicked Ale, please.

who the hell can manage this level of consumption in real life?

I tried my bestest on Saturday. Session went from 3 in the afternoon until 6:30 the next morning. A short nap in between and turbo boosters at night certainly helped the cause though.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 1:37 pm

Pssssst Techno. Get in here for a drink!

I just know I'll never be able to keep up with this, but I have decided I need to make more time for keeping up with the ePlaya...

(downs a quick shot of ice cold potato vodka, and heads back to work)

Everybody please cross your fingers and send some good vibes my way. I've got an interview at that glass and bead place on Wednesday, and I really want this job. It could be perfect for me. Here's the site if you want to know what it's all about: www.jringglass.com Here's hoping.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:36 pm

Goodluck, blue. And if you get it go wild on the torch work. Really really hot art.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:38 pm

Oh I plan too. Last time I was in there I was drooling over their welding supplies.

eyes squinted shut and fingers crossed, chanting "please, please, please, etc."

Oh, and thanks for the luck fishy.
