*looks around the pub*

"I like the hammocks and bean bags Nico... but it isn't quite the same without Kelkhil is it? I know he's busy - but I hope he gets some time off for good behaviour!"

1: Doing good, it being a friday night and all.

2: sure thing, I've lined some up on the bar for the early risers.

3: Yeah, I know, I'll do the best I can to help look after the place until he returns.

Mornin' drinkers.

Early Friday morning and also a payday for me, plus I had a really good night last night working the bar, which is just icing on the cake.

* pulls a large mug of Blue Moon for himself, adorning the rim with several fresh orange slices

* hooks up a hammock beside the bar, ready to make drinks for any who want them (unless Nicodemus wishes to continue, this being his idea and all)

it is purely oranges in the orange juice. What is says, is what it is. Unlike "100% Australian Beef" which McDonalds use in their burgers (it's a trademarked name, has no bearing at all on the contents, which i think is beef and beef-substitute brought in from south america).

Yes, labels can definitely be deceiving: like a caesar salad does not have any of Julius or Augustus in it, and a hot dog has no dogs (well, hopefully).

I dunno about that last one, some of the less trustworthy brands can taste a bit...odd.

With most things, store-brand is ok, but on things like hotdogs (and some others, sodas and munchies come to mind) it has to be a known/trusted name.

I'd have to agree. It's fairly hard to stuff up a loaf of bread (although I do prefer fresh baked, speaking of which, I think I'll go load up the bread-maker now).

Actually I had a spare minute so I figured I would say Hey and make sure that someone here remembered my name. Still got alot to do today and with a short day at that (daughter's first school carnival is today and I am taking a few hours off) So hopefully I will get some free time later to check back.

Until then keep up the good work Nico and there might be a job for you when I get back

"Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?"

Is this what you call "counter culture"?

*smiles smugly to himself at multple layer wordplay*

There's US and OZ, Cowboys and Nipples, Hiatus and Lowatus (I thought it was cute, DTH), right and left-handed drinking for VE, a baby for Maximus, and not one for MSG (although I'm confused by the "Happy Dance"; thought you wanted one), and of course, Kelkhil's bar itself with Kelkhil as a "patron".

Butterscotch IS the greatest flavor ever invented. So keep 'em coming, Nico the great fill-in barkeep, by whatever name you choose to call 'em until I break the place up again.

Oh, and Kelkhil, if you're still about, thanks for installing the trapeze bar from the rafter. I now have a place to hang from in comfort. So when someone tells me to drink up, I can!!

EDIT: Oh, and Maximus Mudder's

Milk is on me. We were going to toast earlier anyway. And, hell, Give MSG whatever she wants. My feet are coordinated but I'll join her happy dance if she's willin'.
