This is coming from the gender that changes purses and shoes every day. :lol:
There is a closet at home that is stuffed with purses...another closet that is riddled with shoes. I stick with the same shoes everyday, brown leather...I stick with the same wallet everyday, black leather...and as far as underwear is concerned...you can get at least a week out of one pair (barring no accidents)...:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Hey Blokes,

I like all this talk about sports -- and limited use of the television in our club. Though, it would be a shame if use our television for golf. Now, if someone were to put a driving lane out back behind our club, where after a few JDs, we could test our skill, I'd be up for that.

As for now, may I suggest that we pour a drink and deal:

Anndd..I'm leaving now. Though may I grab a rum and coke on my way out? The coffee thread lacks this little luxury...

If you wish to go that direction, hockey is nothing more than a controlled fight on ice.
And go, my lady! Run away with your icky Crown!

That's style, not the inability to stick with something for long. It's ok, don't trouble yourself, you won't understand. :angel:

Can I offer you some tea ms. optimisticand?:)

Maybe you should have offered her the way to the door?:idea:

I might be wrong, but I don't think that Parker will be so agreeable to serving green tea to a female in this establishment. But what do I know...I'm not the owner of this establishment.

First of all, that's not true and you know it. There really isn't that much fighting in hockey. Hockey players require actual skills, unlike bull and bronc riders who only have to have enough upper body strength to hold on (even though they're kind of tied in) and big enough spurs to piss of their animals. Let's award more points to the person who can jab his animal the most, yeah, that sounds good. :rolleyes:

Also, I don't drink Crown. Ew. It's all about the good rum. http://www.1-877-spirits.com/store/i...tate-VX-lg.jpg

It goes in a glass with ice and a little bit of coke LP :), if you're still tending the bar, of course :D

Um, here you go!:D

I put a little cherry in there as well; hope you don't mind. :)

Well...I don't know much about Rum...
...but I'd have to agree that hockey players require actual skills...
It's not like running a football past the line, they're on skates too!!! That also means that they are moving at a faster pace, requiring a much quicker hand/eye coordination. And if there happened to be a fight that breaks out...it's like a little intermission!

I couldn't refuse the people! It'll be rude! Um, who's Mr. Parker?

Read back through the posts...especially Atheist's...he tends the establishment...

Remember where you are...this isn't the Coffee thread...even though some good coffee is served here...

Oh alright then! I'll give utmost restraint and be more selective of the serving... If that is what you all wish!:D Now if you'll excuse me sir, I must get back to the sweeping. An ashtray has fallen off the counter, and Mr. Michael T had quite a lot of cigars today.:)

Skates! Played hockey m'self for the college mixed 11, played on grass in our plimsoles. Don't remember any fights, but some of the gels used to get a bit cattish. ;)

Sorry, but it seems that some scurvily infected fellow :sick: on the Mayflower didn't bring with them the proper vocabulary. Forgive my ignorance, but could you broaden my poor English vocabulary...

plimsoles...
gels...
cattish...(I deducted that this means rowdy or argumentative :argue:)...

I believe games are now held as far south as The Stoop in London. The march of civilisation goes ever onwards.

---

Yeah, it's funny old game. All those years of rugby holding league to the ground by the throat, but give it another five years and it'll be taking over the rugby game. I agree that nowadays, it's a far better game.

Just a bit of a problem with space. Anything bigger than a wedge is going straight over th back hedge, and Her Majesty gets worried about the corgis swallowing a golf ball, so no go, I'm afraid.

Plimsolls are tennis/sport shoes - canvas topped

Gel [hard G] is a gal/girl - very 19th-century

And you don't describe women as catty sometimes? Still strongly in use. Ever seen catfight? All claws, screaming and biting?

there is skill in hockey... but! you should all watch a game of Gaelic or Hurling sometime...

But only if you are wearing flack jackets and steel helmets. The same goes for those attending an Irish wedding.

The sign of a good sport is, of course, to be measured through it's growth and popularity throughout the world. Those that come immediately to mind are cricket, rugby, football, golf…Hmm I think I see a pattern developing. :D

Do I see my drink coming? :)

I didn't hear you order one?

I don't agree that growth and popularity is a sign of a good sport. I have discovered that the masses don't necessarily have the best taste. People are followers...like lemmings. Consider Reality TV...it is very popular, but that does not mean that it's good.

Ummm, what cup, sir? :confused:

And also, I don't mean to be a bother but I'd have to report that we're running a little low on the beverages. The security cameras indicated the source of the problem:

Quickly skib, get the rifle. Be careful, try not to hit the whiskey!

Can anyone shoot around here, or do I have to get the duelling sabre out of the games room?

Are you going to get that weasel?:D

**takes LostPrincess out to see the weasel and looks up to see the meteor shower**

Look up...Wow!! That looks awesome...
http://www.aftertek.com/wp-content/u...eor-shower.jpg

Ok then...

I get a dart from the dartboard, kneel down and throw it underhand, impaling the weasel through the throat and lifting it a few feet up in the air, twitching and pinned against the wall.

'Sorry about the mess!' I shout, as blood trickles onto the floor from its throat, all over the floor.

But luckily the bottle topples over intact, and I put it back on the bar.

Don't worry...I'll take care of the clean-up. Does anybody have a good recipe for weasel?? :D

Thanks very much Silas! That's lucky, I found the bottle in front of the establishment this morning. A gift form a stranger...:)

:banana: Yey Silas! :banana: And thanks JDC!:D The cleaning materials are in the supply closet.:) The stain removal liquid was endorsed by Jerry Seinfeld.:)

Now the Cricket season is upon us, perhaps we could organise a match against The Groucho or Whites. I would certainly be up for it, I've bowled many a maiden over with my googlies.

I've also got a slow arm over the wicket Chinaman that has bamboozled many a blue.



Lets see what Google translater makes of that one, eh

If I may say, having just checked this thread for the first time today, you all appear to have gone completely insane!

Weasels, meteors and googlies... I'm confused and vaguely terrified...
