Bambi! you just strolled through my mind as a potential moderator-nominee. i decided not to try to list everyone i thought could do it, though, as the list could get insane!

see youse guys tomorrah!

kinda sounds like Spanky might be done by tonight...maybe we should check in just in case...i'd hate for the bar to open without anyone there to do it up properly!

I may have to change my name to "Bambi the intrepid" After the last rancorous battle before "board shut-down" This forest creature lost all his eyelashes in the conflagration. I could'nt help but watch. Tanks tisha2. Now I have to go out and buy a lottery ticket!

Me too, LeChatNoir. It has been good to step back and watch it get worked on, and it will be good to see it in action once again. A big thanks to Spanky and those working hard on it.
If'n you you don't mind Sir, I could use one of those beers.

Oh, wait, I’ve got on better than these... they’re still warm.

(Runs behind the counter and opens the beer cooler he installed earlier)

Ah... still cold in there too... Here’s a fine dark beer for you, it’s called Xingu (shin-goo). It’s from Brazil and served in honor of the one and only longlanky, of course.. not your typical dark beer. Quite smooth with a sort of wine-like after taste. Very good stuff.

Updates are ready for your eplaya... Thanks Mr. Gates.

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:16 pm

It will be nice to join you all again in different topics so my posts don't seem so oblique. I hope all this redesign isn't going to be a constant thing after we are up and running. I always curse myself when Bill Gates dupes me into another "update" that my computer is "ready" for. Just like art on the playa, it's good to stop building it and let it breathe.

I'm doing well. Though I have to work at nine a.m. tomorrow. I know, it's soooo early. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to nap tomorrow afternoon.

I'm excited to get the bar back.

Hey, Blue... did you ever get hold of my bud up there near you? She’s dropped off the radar from here. But that’s not that unusual, really.

oh crap, I knew I forgot to do something. I wrote down her email but forgot to actually write a note. I'll write her an email, thanks for the reminder.

And it'd be rough for you if you were used to staying up until 4 am. But *smooches* anyways you rascal.

Ok... I’m off to bed. I don’t like that waking up before the sun stuff, but sometimes, you gotta do it. Making a living... ugh... I think I’d much prefer being a hunter/gatherer myself.

I like thinking that Blue & Noir are meeting tomorrow.
Maybe she'd intended "see you" as in "see you on the board"
but in my fairy-tale mind, are hopes of a southern gentlemen
& a lass so fair night cares her eyes stay bright
while others deem to sleep.


Oh, yeah.
It's gonna be kinda busy in the bar
on Thursday, so I'm wearing my
Velcro™ beer can suit. Pull one off
anywhere, just leave no trace, I DO NOT WANT
empty beer cans Velcroed™ back onto my suit!

Thanks, and SMILE with everyone you meet.
