*tapes gelignite charge to underside of trap door, inserts fuse, lights it, crouches in corner of cellar under disused mattress*

ka-BOOOMMMM

*Trapdoor flips open*

*Climbs out*

Well, that takes care o' that! *sets gunnysack full of coal beside the fireplace.*

You might want to add a bit o' that, that wood won't last long...

Siliconous Skumins Tue Dec 07, 2010 8:07 pm

*stares blankly*

*slightly shouting* Beg pardon? you will have to speak up, I suddenly
seem to be having problems with my hearing - and I have this terrible ringing in my ears!

AH! - Coal!! Excelent my good fellow, this wood won't last long you know!...

Hmmm, time for a drop fine brandy to keep the chills off I think! Stick it on my bar tab, Ta!

(Struggles to slam door shut against the gale). Bloody Norah, it's a bit nippy out there lads. I need something to warm me cockles. What do you reccomend?

Sir A Poiselamppe Tue Dec 07, 2010 9:16 pm

...Due to the unexpected closure of the usual local some sort of Health and Safety issue in all likelihood .. a Bottle of your Cheapest brandy and a packet of pork scratchings for the Dodo and a Glass of Port for me, also also a Pint of your best Cockle warmer for Auntie L.

Siliconous Skumins Tue Dec 07, 2010 10:03 pm

*due to still iffy hearing, spent several minutes pondering the gender of Auntie L and if the way to the brothel actually IS what was being asked...*

Ah!, that was a nice drop of brandy, now time for a cigar - and another brandy!

*notices a dodo with pork scratchings packet stuck on head* Ah, I see you seem to be having a little trouble there - Allow me... *pluck* There you go!

Cigar? *offers case to Dodo*

Where is that barkeep now!?

SS

Herr Döktor Tue Dec 07, 2010 10:58 pm

Well, this is a nice place! Dodos, and good company!

I'll have a nice chianti, and is there any liver on the menu?

Thanks.

Sgt.MajorThistlewaite Tue Dec 07, 2010 11:38 pm

Chicken livers, Dok...close enough?

Herr Döktor Tue Dec 07, 2010 11:45 pm

Tastes like chicken...

Close enough, thank you.

Wink

Sir A Poiselamppe Wed Dec 08, 2010 2:20 am

Chicken livers ..excellent, just don't offer them to the smoking Dodo... He gets offaly excited by that sort of thing...in fact can someone throw a bucket of water over him... he always scorches his feathers with cigars...he normally smokes a pipe ...

Siliconous Skumins Wed Dec 08, 2010 3:56 am

*catches a wiff of burning feathers*

OOPS! I'll get it! *pours jug of water over dodo* Better sit you by the fire to dry off... *wanders over to fire with damp dodo* There go, and I'll be back with a brandy to warm you up.

*catches sight of a large dark object hanging in one corner of the ceiling* BY GOG! It looks like the caterpillar is still here - and he seems to have turned into a huge chrysalis ! I can tell it's him by the fact he's still smoking his shisha pipe!

Same again please barkeep, and a brandy for the damp Dodo, ta!

Captain Lyerly Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:46 pm

Back to the alternate universe Clocktower... sigh.

"Offaly" excited? Well played, sir.

Dodos... why did it have to be Dodos...

Belhaven's, barkeep. And thanks so very much.

Cheers!

*suddenly steps out from behind the potted phicus tree, and sets the sharps sniper rifle down in the corner, crosses to the bar and dispenses the drink*

'Ere you go, sir!

*sets drink on the bar*

Captain Lyerly Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:42 pm

"Time does such strange things".

The Smoking Dodo - there's a name for a pub.

Think I will use that in my next novel.

Cheers!

Mr Addams Sun Aug 14, 2011 7:08 pm

<Enters the tavern and surveys the eight months worth of dust and cobwebs. Crosses to the bar and helps self to bottle of port & a packet of pork scratchings, (placing suitable coin in the till). Opens the packet and hands it to the still smoldering dodo. Sits in a comfortable chair and pours a large glassfull.>

"Quiet in here, isnt it"

Miles (a sailor)Martin Sun Aug 14, 2011 7:52 pm

Miles stumbles as he crosses the threshhold, recovers his balance looks up and around" Darn it ,going to have to hit that Burroghs-Carter continua twister with a can of whup ass again,third time it has dumped me into an alt in the last six months. " walks over to bar, winds up the Bartender and then says"Barman a pint of Guiness and a shot of Wild Turkey please", laqying a double eagle on the bar top "and one o' whate'r they drinking for Mr addams and the good captain as well. picks up the tray and carries it over to the table , "Gentlemen 'The Queen'", and takes a sip.

Mr Addams Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:28 pm

*Raises a full gass of port*

"The Queen"

* downs glass in one and pours another*

Captain Lyerly Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:29 pm

"The Ki- er, umm... The Queen, long may she rain... er, reign."

Has anybody seen that guy who said he used to be Duke of Milan? He said something about fixing his staff and doing some diving for a book; I was going to see if he wanted some help setting up the expedition.

In the meanwhile, I think I'll have anoth... oh, right. On the tray. Thanks ever so!

Cheers!

Rafael Bass stumbles in from the storage room under the stairs, sweatstained and bewildered, khukri in hand.

I say, how'd this club get in the midst o' th' Congo, Wot? Never mind, just set me up a pint o' bitters...

Captain Lyerly Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:07 am

Well, I'll just turn out the lights and close the door. I am sure all will be well here until it is needed again.

Oops - not all the lights. I see the, er, gentlemen at the chessboard are still at it. Don't seem to have moved much in months, but then chess is a game of patience, after all.

that picture is many forms of epic. Why can i litterally see this happening. I must be crazy.

Captain Lyerly Thu Aug 18, 2011 3:32 am

It is a beautiful rendering. The participants even agreed not to eat/make a trophy of the artist.

I thought that was a rather nice thing for them to do, considering.

I am wondering if I should have bothered posting about the Bug-Out Bags. Nobody seems terribly interested. I thought we had run at least one end-of-the-world/emergency situations thread, but I couldn't find any with a standard search.

Ah, well. Another Belhaven's, Mr. Barkeep! And one for yourself, as well.

Cheers!

Chas.

Captain Lyerly Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:03 am

Not bad, over a month and a half between trips to the lifeboats.

Wunner wot 'tis this time.

Think I will have a rum this time, black as sin... a Navy Rum. Make it... Lamb's Navy Rum, if we've got some!

Cheers!

Siliconous Skumins Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:19 am

*poof*

*cough, cough*
..
*looks around*
.....

Blast! this was supposed to be the gentlemans club!
Must have the crystal thingies in the wrong order again. Oh well, might as well make the best of it - time for a wee dram methinks!

Barkeep?...........BARKEEP!! Where the blast are you man? Bah, I'll get meself!
*reaches behind bar, finds rather nice 18 year old bottle of scotch whiskey* AHH, spledid. That'll do nicely.

I say, anyone else here?? *dusts seat* Hellooo...? *takes seat, gets comfy*

SS

mwbaaailey Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:24 am

zzzzzzzz--*snerk!*

Er, what? What's this, I'm all dusty. Who was that loud person clling out just now? and where'd the dodo get to?

Oh, hello there, young fellow. Where's the barkeep?

Captain Lyerly Wed Aug 22, 2012 5:45 am

Always with the shoutings... please, not so much with the shoutings.

Hmmm... I think I will have an Old Engine Oil. Really should match the ambience of the place.
