What good's a treehouse if there's no neighborhood warring faction to throw apples at?

Isn't this treehouse built to hold ALL us Browncoats? Because then it follows that this treehouse is pan continental.. and I live in the UK, where Boddingtons is brewed.. therefore thats where the bar is... ;)

Well now wait one gorram second here. I STARTED this treehouse, and I'm IN the other treehouse.

So I guess that means we already took over their treehouse...or something. Aw who cares. I want war! Lets go beat up the damn eletists!

Nice Eddie Izzard reference. I love that 'action transvestite'.

Also notice that I specifically said Boddington's is the best available in the U.S., and is only served in a can (with one of those little nitrogen thingys in the can for great pinpoint carbonation). Boddington's may be among the finest beers in Great Britain, too; but y'all have got so many great brews, it'd be hard to choose. I'd nominate Castlemaine '4-X' pints (an Australian beer) from the tap of your local. I usually chose a locally brewed bitter, during the 3 1/2 years I was lucky enough to be stationed there (stole one of y'all's women, too, my wife of 16 years, Kayley. Girls in the treehouse should start worrying; I'm pretty good at this raiding for breeding stock thing).

We're 'beer-impaired' here in the American colonies, and most of us don't even know it, having never been outside our borders. The majority of Americans have no idea what beer should be. Most Brits don't realize how cursed Americans are: They assume our beer is like beer everywhere else, rather than the 'gnat's piss plus alka seltzer' it actually is.

You lucky bastards...

Like my 'heaven' comment above, how can America be a Great Society with only cruelly manipulated and denatured beer? I'd like to see the laws restraining alcohol content in beer -- in place since the end of Prohibition -- fully repealed, so we too can have "our daily bread", as our benevolent and merciful Father intended. Where'd I put my 'Beer and Skittles Party' membership card? I'm spreading the revolution to these shores; God willing, we shall prevail!

I can't bring myself to drink a beer if I can see thru it. It just doesn't seem right. I like to feel the weight of the beer, see the dark rich color, and enjoy it for the meal it is. gimme a stout, an ale, a good imported brew.

generally, if i can buy it at a grocery store or a quiktrip, it ain't beer.

It's not about "designer" beer. It's just that you get what you pay for when it comes to the cheap American beer. It's generally pale and watery.

Think of it like this. There's fresh squeezed lemonade, then there's the $.25 a pack of kool-aid. One is tastier than the other, which is the one we prefer.

* A small spot of bright light appears on the wall of the tree house’s main communal room. It grows brighter and expands, its center becoming a black void. A breeze starts to blow from it. Soon, it becomes a seven-foot-wide ring of fire on the wall, encircling a dark emptiness. Out of this hole in reality steps The Real Me, looking ridiculous in his ill-fitting Kaylee costume, engine grease smeared on his face. He cradles a package under one arm. He waves at the crowd with his other hand, which is colored green. *

Greetings, all! It is I, The Real Me! I have returned! Uh… Well, actually, I have never been here before.

* With his green hand, The Real Me fumbles with his wallet. *

But see, here is my membership card from the Forgotten Not A Guy/Girl Clubhouse. It’s transferable, right? I was off moping around at the old clubhouse, thinking that you had all abandoned me. Well, I suppose that you did, in fact, abandon me. But Mal-licious was kind enough to let me know where you had gone. This is a great idea. I’m glad to be part of it.

* The Real Me puts his wallet away. *

Hey, ThatWeirdGirl, look!

* The Real Me rips off the covering on the package he was carrying and displays a 7-pack of soda with an odd label that seems to be inscribed with Nordic runes. *

I found an alternate reality where they actually bottle Pepsimilk! THAT wasn’t easy!

* The Real Me sets the soda on a table and moves back toward the hole in reality. *

SPARKY! Start bringing the stuff through!

* A robot made of metal and plastic walks out of the ring of fire, carrying a Whack-a-Mole machine fitted with plastic heads representing various Fox executives. The Real Me turns back to the crowd to explain. *

You see, I’ve attached the other end of this dimensional portal to the old clubhouse. That will make it easy for Sparky to move in all of our furniture, appliances, games and the like.

* Sparky departs, but soon returns, carrying a sofa. The Real Me grabs some objects that had been laying on the cushions. *

Ebo, good to see you! Here is your guitar! Mal-licious, here is your Dumb-Stick-Sounds-Like-It’s-Rainin’. Maybe you two can give us a performance later?

Anyway, with my extra-dimensional powers, I’ve taken the liberty of adding several suites of rooms to this tree house. I’ve started with the floorplan used by the Kids Next Door -- a very sound design -- but we can alter that later as the need arises. At the minimum, I think that I can guarantee that we each have our own room.

* From the hole in reality, Sparky calls for help, speaking with the voice of Alan Tudyk. The Real Me enlarges the ring of fire so that Sparky can fit through with a fully stocked bar, complete with stools, a large mirror, and shelves full of booze. The Real Me grins sheepishly. *

Uh, THAT didn’t come from our old clubhouse.

* The Real Me walks to the balcony and gazes down to the base of the tree, scratching his chin in deep thought. *

Sparky, after you set up the hammocks and pass drinks around, install the perimeter defense lasers and bring them online. I think zoid might be getting some ideas about Mal-licious.

* Having been programmed with all Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics (even the first one), Sparky drops the bar, which falls with a terrible crash, and then extends his arms across the tree house to catch Ebo before she falls. Sparky places her in a hammmock, and then goes to work repairs on the bar and the floor. The Real Me sets Ebo's hammock swaying gently, and waves his green hand at her. *

Ebo, I thought that you were going to call me "You".

It's just that I wanted to sort it out for when I order my next set of business cards.

* The Real Me continues to wave his green hand at Ebo. After a short time, he comes closer and whispers: *

Say, Ebo, there's been a lot of fuss over this Tiramisu stuff. Do you have ANY clue what it is? It seems to be food of some kind.

* The Real Me waits for a response, but Ebo seems to still be in faint mode. The Real Me looks about the tree house. *

It's nice to see so many new faces. There's a lot more variety than the old clubhouse. Uh... Say, when does the dancing girl routine start?

I, too, enjoy thinking about beer. It has a wonderful history that follows step for step the ascent of human Civilization. Really really.

I was stationed in Suffolk, East Anglia at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge (two bases, one administrative complex) from '87-'89 and again from '91-'92, when they unexpectedly closed the base underneath me (thanks terribly, (PM) Mr. Major).

My time in England was arguably the happiest in my life. There is so much good in the British way of life, it more than offsets the ills it suffers as a society (yes, even the burgeoning 'dole' and social medicine, which basically let my mother-in-law die of cancer while waiting for a specialist's appointment). I still fantasize about a day when I would return there to live out the remainder of my life. Unfortunately, even though my wife is English (from Newmarket) and well-heeled, we have no prospects in the English job market; but who does, eh?

We almost were able to return in '99 to RAF Mildenhall -- my dream assignment -- but Kayley pointed out that it would mean selling Our Home Here and Uprooting Our Children (I could hear the punctuation, believe me). Those who do not understand the English love of home -- and the steadfast resolve of Her women -- do not understand England. I'd sooner brawl with the Black Guard than oppose a handful of English housewives. Fewer broken bones; ego and dignity intact.

So, while you're looking up beers, keep in mind that I preferred bitter, from local breweries. I did quite a bit of socializing at the public house 4 blocks from her family home in Newmarket, 'The Cherry Tree'. And if you're in the area and you see a quiet, sad man, about 6'4", with thinning dark hair, a hawkish nose and black-brown eyes (looks for all the world like an older version of Rupert Everett) sitting in the pub, buy him a vodka and tell him his son, Ron, was thinking of him. His name is George. Send me the bill, I'm good for it.

As a final note in this characteristically (zoidian) 'convoluted' post: There was this great Holsten-Pils advert during one of my stints there. It featured Griff Rhys Jones (of "Alias: Smith and Jones") digitally superimposed over the train scenes from Marilyn Monroe's "Some Like It Hot". This was the late Ms. Monroe's halcyon days in terms of feminine allure, and Griff says at the end, mock-reproachfully, "Yoo-ouu naugh'y guurrl!" (hard to get the accent right).

And then the tagline for the advertisement would play, which I leave you with, since it seems a suitable wrap-up for this topic: "A Holsten-Pils sugar-turns-to-alcohol production!"

(Rule) Britannically,

zoid
Publican, 'The Bottom of the Tree'

P.S.
I fancy a pub shingle with a stylized Tree of Knowledge, Adam and Eve sharing an apple at its base, while The Serpent (affectionately known to pub regulars as 'Malicious') curls in a limb above... I'm even amenable to the notion that the Tree has a treehouse in it, with most of its patrons camped on its sagging roof. How's that for symbolism?

Indeed! I can't recall where (I read too many books) but I recently read a plausible suggestion that civilization developed because of beer... (Somebody less forgetful remember it for me? It was a 2003ish-published history of beer and drinking in Western civilization.)

Sounds good to me! One of my fondest fantasies is buying my own canal boat (I think y'all can guess the name: eight letters, starts with an S), not least because the canal life affords plentiful opportunities to sample great pubs. If there was a canalside browncoat haunt, so much the better!

After moving into the comfy cushion corner with BethyB, I have now finished my first knitting project! It's another hammock, beware mind, it may not be terribly strong, so I recommend not putting too far off the ground, and maybe just for someone light.

Ahem! I believe that is MY green hand being waved about indiscriminantly. What's up wit dat, yo?

No, not indiscriminantly at all. It was, in fact, carefully aimed. I was waving it at Ebo.

Oh, you mean THIS hand?

Excellent, hope it slips down a treat. Don't hold the can too much or it might turn yellow... or is it only clutching M&Ms that turns one's hand green?

And don't mix Boddies with tiramisu -- way too much cream for one meal.

(Boddies is in yellow cans in the U.S., right? Otherwise, that made no sense.)
