Yea, now that it's fixed, I for one am willing to carry one TheBAR and it's many pages as the real place to be.

Okay, the joke was about my being so involved in my own little world, that I reinterpreted the Kraken and Captain as being about my world.
Or something. I just thought it would be funny, bringing in something only tangentially related.

snickering........yeah, I get it now.......it's just an insightful joke, for me. I look so often, for the eclectic, obscure references you make, and the circuitous route taken there, I can miss the slapstick........

And then there's the connection between sperm whale and giant squid, which is their major food. And sometimes the kraken is associated with the giant squid. But that was private because nobody here would know about my childhood interest in whales, and giant squid, and cryptobiology--which is what giant squid was when I was a kid.

I was just appreciating how much this here Eplaya

the dust, there was something missing....hey! Where's my
fucking drink?!

SO - I take my needs into my own hands...

Welcome to the Eplaya Bar! Tish the Dish, the Hostess with the
Mostess at your service! She is plenty experienced (you heard me)
and pretty darn hot to boot. Step right up, pull up a barstool
and have a seat. The bar is fully stocked and lookee there!
A hundred kegs with every beer you've ever wanted on tap!

Act appropriately (as defined by you of course) and no puking!

What'll it be, baby?

well, just thought I'd wander in, reminisce a little......all that.

It's good to be reminded of Tisha's founding creed. Lights a corona and blows smoke toward the ceiling with Yggy. You know, we used to burn this place down every week or two. So, where's Tish? and Mozy? and SamTzu? and Helitac? and Regina LongLanks? and Sensei?

Bin!
Did you see that video Misa posted in the Apok thread? It's a song about snow berries... Or raspberries, or both.
The translation wasn't clear. There's no girl in it until the last verse, which is pretty impressive on these russian songs.
