I've tried those virgins before. Highly over rated.

I'm settling into the new place. By coincidence, I've been listening to the audiobook of Spider Robinson's "Callahan's Key" detailing the move of the Callahan's gang to Key West (following the demise of their second Long Island bar, Mary's Place, at the hands of New York State, Suffolk County, and Township of Smithtown bureacracy). At the point I've reached, they're settling into the bar they've just bought there, and named "The Place" (and being told by Nikola Tesla that they have five months to save all of reality from an accidental destruction brought about by the Feds completing work on Tesla's Death Ray...) On the plus side, this site isn't also occupied by a parrot that used to live in a bordello, and is given to screaming colorful quotes from their old clients at random - on the downside, we also don't have Erin Stonebender, or Ralph von Wau Wau...

Geraldo was sleezy and misleading?? wow, who saw THAT coming?

This is to funny...I'm going to make a Tshirt just to celibrate this sentiment.

Finally, some one that writes correctly. I read that thing on the plants and it read very smoothly. Wasn't till i started rereading the rest that didn't read smoothly that I saw the switch. Naw it's still there, I fell into it coming in the bathroom window the other day.

Hope you can see to find your eye balls again and I very much doubt you lead a boring life

Have some Absinthe. It takes the edge off and makes it all kind of dreamy.

Is that legal in US? I'd never tried it until I met an, funnily enough American girll in Copenhagen. I think I embaressed myself that night. Haha not

I thought this place was closed. Just when I was getting used to it. I think I'd rather stay here and get used to the humour and pathos, than have "like"..."totally" ...in-depth discussions. I(n saying that I do like some of the other threads.....A Go Go etc.

Ralph von Wau Wau is a surgically modified German shepherd, work done by a nutjob who wanted to teach a dog to talk so he could exhibit the "freak" for money. Unfortunately for his plans, Ralph was also a mutant, with human-level intelligence. He escaped, and eventually found his way to Callahan's Place (in the company of a mute man - they'd developed a "talking dog" routine to win bar bets, and the folks at the Place were the first to twig to the fact that the dog was the ventriloquist).

Erin Stonebender is the daughter of Jake and Zoey Stonebender. Jake was one of the regulars at Callahan's, and after the original Place was destroyed by a pony nuke (to defend Earth against invasion from a particularly vicious three-foot-long intelligent cockroach from outer space), the barkeep at their second attempt, Mary's Place (named for Callahan's daughter). During the last days of Mary's, when the group had to create a telepathic link to save Earth from invasion by the cockroach's last surviving servant, a cyborged alien lizardoid, Erin was born in the middle of the hubbub, and linked to Solace, an artifical intelligence that grew on the Internet. During the fight, Solace downloaded as much knowledge and wisdom into baby Erin's brain as possible, then infiltrated the lizard's computer parts and self-destructed. Erin, at the point I've reached in the story, is fourteen months old, astoundingly intelligent, and very well-spoken. (Also bulletproof, a little gift another alien cyborg gave the gang after they rescued him from the cockroach.)

If you're interested, the relevant books are Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Time Travelers Strictly Cash, Callahan's Secret, The Callahan Touch, Callahan's Legacy, Callahan's Key, and Callahan's Con (the last of which I haven't gotten to yet). The first three books are also published in an omnibus edition entitled The Callahan Chronicals (no, that's not a typo).

I thought you had to be a dead muslim to get those.

No, I don't believe it is.

Ok, someone take pity and clue me in. WHAT THE HELL is going on with the Spam and Kipper? We've moved? Wait, I was still looking for the plant!! !! !!

Geez, and I was wondering where I could get a couple of those...

SOL, once again.
