By popular demand, THE BAR IS NOW OPEN!!!!

[prolesunited]

Well, it *is* Friday and all and it's been a really long week and we've all been working so hard and there is just so much tension here...

Enough with the justifications. Let's :party: :party: :party: :party::party: :party:

So, step right up. What'll you have?

We've got some :beer:
Perhaps a little of this :smoke:
Maybe you could use one of these:hug:

So, what's your pleasure today? Don't be shy. :-)

[StopTheMorans]

1. Busch Light in a can please

hopefully slightly cooler than room temp. if you can accomodate:)

[prolesunited]

6. Bush-lite?

How did they get Kerry in a can? <rimshot>

OK, stupid bartender humor. Don't flame me folks. I'm new at this. :D

[StopTheMorans]

13. no tip for you!

:)

[prolesunited]

23. In hopes of redeeming myself, I offer this

Teach your children: 
A   first grade teacher in the Midwestis explaining to her class that she is a Republican and how nice it is that a new Republican president has taken office. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Republicans and support George Bush.  Everyone in class raises their hands except one little girl.

 "Mary," says the teacher with surprise, "why didn't you raise your hand?"  Because I'm not a Republican," says Mary. "Well, what are you?" asks the teacher.  "I'm a Democrat and proud of it," replies the little girl.  

The teacher cannot believe her ears. "My goodness, Mary, why are you a Democrat?" she asks.  “Well, my momma and papa are Democrats, so I'm a Democrat, too."  "Well," says the teacher in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Democrat. You don't always have to be like your parents.  

What if your momma was a criminal and your papa was a criminal, too, what would you be then?" "Then," Mary smiled, "then we'd be Republicans."

[Book Lover]

2. My stomach is a bit upset

today, so just a Hefe for me. Can I even have the lemon wedge?

[prolesunited]

8. Poor baby!

Why's your stomach bothering you today? If it will make you feel better, you can have two lemon wedges. :hug:

[Book Lover]

11. Actually, it's all my fault

We went to see the '54 Godzilla at the Castro last night and I ate too much candy! Plus we had dinner way late.

[prolesunited]

38. Sounds like a fun night, though

I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon.

[Book Lover]

69. It was great!

The movie was subtitled for us snots who have to hear foreign movies in the native language. It was so JDM!

Also, the Castro movie palace is such a jewel; we got there early to hear the organist and everything. Such a shame San Francisco city can only support one of these old places.

Oh, can ya fill me up again? The glass seems to have emptied somehow...

[prolesunited]

79. Whoops!

Got so busy, must have missed your refill. Let me get you two since you waited so patiently.

I've never been there, but I love the old organs. There's a church near here that has HUGE pipes. The sound it makes is amazing.

[Book Lover]

84. Ah, refreshing

Many thanks.... I took piano and organ lessons for many years and so I always love hearing organ music, even if I am a bit tinged with guilt for not keeping it up...

Ah, beer, my favorite fruit....

[arcane1]

3. a shot of Chinaco, chased with Grey Goose

for breakfast :9

[prolesunited]

9. Truly

the breakfast of champions! ;-)
Too early for a smoke?

[arcane1]

10. lol, yeah a little too early for that...

I save that for after work ;)

[prolesunited]

40. Well, let me know

When it's after work and I'll hook ya up. Say about 4:20? ;-)

[arcane1]

45. hehe, I'll be on my way to a camping trip by then

with the proper attitude adjustments :smoke:

[wysimdnwyg]

4. Geeze, it's about time!

Gimme an ice cold Anchor Steam, please. And keep 'em coming!

:beer:

[rogerashton]

5. Blanc de Bruges

Preverably served at a sidewalk cafe in Aix-en-Provence.

[prolesunited]

12. My, a little testy, aren't we.

Don't you be comin' into my bar with that attitude. You can just go back and check that at the door. ;-)

Here you go. Ice cold, just like you asked. Drink it quick cause I got another one waiting for you. We'll have you mellowed out in not time at all. :-)

[wysimdnwyg]

48. MMMMMM Much better!

You are truly the worlds greatest barkeep.

:loveya:

[prolesunited]

53. Why thank you!

That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day. :loveya:

You ready for another one?

[JM]

7. Do you serve

American Sherpa Light Beer?

"Lighten your load with American Sherpa Light Beer. Same calories, 1/3 the weight."

JM

[prolesunited]

17. Couldn't find ANY of that in back

But, I did find you a sherpa. He looks capable of carrying all of the beer you might require or perhaps simply hold the can for you.

[JM]

46. That is because it is our

private label B-)

http://www.cafeshops.com/americansherpa.11108353?zoom=yes#zoom

JM

[prolesunited]

52. LOL!

Very cute. Didn't even know that existed.

[JM]

58. Check out the resto of the site...

at http://www.americansherpa.com

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. well...have you mastered making the perfect Margarita yet?

If so......line er up! :hi:

[prolesunited]

18. Of course!

And for you, only the best. :hi:

[eyesroll]

15. Bombay Sapphire, rocks, olives please

The thunder has stopped and the fire alarm testing has stopped and the maintenance guy is done banging outside my office and the dog has left the building.

It's peaceful and quiet in here.

Finally.

[prolesunited]

19. After enduring a day like that

you certainly deserve a drink (or two). Here you go. Enjoy the olives and the silence.

[eyesroll]

22. Thanks much, Proles...

The thunder will likely start again, but that, by itself, I can handle.

[prolesunited]

41. Especially if you have another drink

Can I get you that now? It is Friday.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Margarita, rocks, no salt.

Thanks. :-)

[prolesunited]

20. No salt!?!?

That's blasphemous!

Just kidding. The customer is always right.

What kind of tequila would you prefer? I have quite a selection and the first one is my treat.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Herradurra Gold Reposado!

Add some Cointreau, too, please.

I don't care for very salty tasting foods or drinks. Ick.

[prolesunited]

42. Excellent choice!

I was just yanking your chain. Drink up! :D

[DinahMoeHum]

21. A big pitcher of sangria wine. . .

to go with my nachos, tacos, burritos, hell, who knows ??


:party:

[prolesunited]

25. Sounds like quite a feast!

You must be quite hungry and thirsty.

[felonious thunk]

24. Hey, mind if I join you? I've got a couple boxes of wine

a nice chablis and a nice white zin a couple others just marked "Wine" I'll hand out the plastic cups!

[prolesunited]

26. Boxes of wine????

Surely you jest. In my bar, we only serve the finest quality alcohol — in crystal glasses.

You're welcome to join us, though. I'll hook ya up with some good stuff. :-)

[felonious thunk]

34. No way, these things have this really cool spout

Check this out. See that? You don't even have to mess with a cork or anything!

[StopTheMorans]

39. exactly, and you can't beat 5 liters for 8.99!

that translates to less than 2 bucks a bottle!

[prolesunited]

43. OK

You and him over in the corner with your boxes of wine. I run a classy joint here. We don't serve no stinkin' wine out of boxes. :P

Tell ya what. First one is on the house. What can I get you? Dream big.

[StopTheMorans]

56. alright, since MD 20-20 is a "wine product"

I'll take a bottle of Peaches and Cream Mad Dog, served chilled (as they suggest on the bottle). Don't go tellin me it's out of stock either:)

[felonious thunk]

62. MMM. That sounds good!

I'll take one of those too!

[prolesunited]

64. Well, I am an obliging hostess

As much as it pains me, I'll set the both of you up.

HOWEVER, please read this first. You need to be aware of the company you keep.

BRYAN, TX -- A man remained jailed after police said he attempted to steal alcohol from a grocery store while dressed in drag clothing and then attacked the clerk who caught him in the act. He was probably remaking that Jane's Addiction video for "Been Caught Stealing"...

Cedrine Green was charged with robbery following the Saturday night incident at the H-E-B Pantry grocery store. The charge was elevated from theft because he swung a purse -- which contained a bottle of peaches and cream flavored Mad Dog 20/20 -- at the head of a clerk and then struck the worker in the shoulder with a wooden stake. The drag queen sounds as if (s)he looked like a Mad Dog. Maybe (s)he will skip bail and take the Nighttrain out of town. Or steal a Thunderbird instead. Sorry if we made a Ripple.

Witnesses told police that Green -- who was wearing a maroon wig, a red sleeveless top and a turquoise skirt with flowers on it (Fashion faux pas... Red clashes w/turquoise) -- attempted to steal a four-pack of small wine bottles and the Mad Dog 20/20, then left the store without paying, police said. The total value of the alcohol was less than $10. Listen... if you're willing to risk going to jail for theft, at least walk out with some decent shit.

[indigo32]

27. Hi Bartender

can I get vodka with cranberry juice?

TGIF!

[prolesunited]

32. A woman after my own heart

That's exactly what I drink! Sometimes with a splash of Mountain Dew or 7-Up.

Mind if I have one of those with you? I'll reach into my private stash. Ketel One? Belvedere?

[indigo32]

35. Belvedere

cheers...
take a load off and enjoy one yourself.

[prolesunited]

44. That's what I would have picked as well

Cheers! :toast:

[Donkeyboy75]

28. Got a job offer today! I'm in!

[prolesunited]

33. Fabulous!!!

In honor of your good news, this one is one me. What can I get you? Tell me about the job offer.

[Donkeyboy75]

70. Well, it's a research job in Ireland.

So I'll take a Guinness. Thanks, bartender!

[bubblesby2002]

30. The drill downstairs has finally stopped and it's quiet for a bit

Now is the time for a nice single malt like Ardbeg 30 y.o. please. Sure hope ya got it. And I need a couple of hugs too, please.

[prolesunited]

36. You and eyesroll

sure have had it with the noise today. Of course I have the Ardbeg. It's kind of like "Fantasy Island" here. :-)

And how sweet! You're the first one to ask for hugs. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Feeling better yet?

[bubblesby2002]

54. Yes I am prolesunited

Thanks for the hugs.

ps - It's still quiet here - yay!

[phillybri]

31. Canadian Club and ginger ale...

:toast:

[prolesunited]

37. No problem!

That's an easy one. Here ya' go. Anything you want to talk about today?

[phillybri]

51. How do you like my Flyers chances in Game 7 tomorrow night?

My guts are all twisted up over it...:crazy:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

47. Nobody naked yet? What is wrong with you people?

}(

[indigo32]

49. Give it time

it's early yet.

[prolesunited]

55. Exactly!

I've been known to dance on top of the bar on occasion. Never naked, but who knows? :evilgrin:

[EstimatedProphet]

88. I am

Just thought you should know...

[prolesunited]

95. Do you have pictures?

:evilgrin:

[havocmom]

50. Can I have a double Maalox?

Puh-leazzze?

[prolesunited]

57. Here you are!

Sorry you had to wait so long. Care to share what's troubling you today?

[havocmom]

60. thanks. Just puny today. I'll sit way over here so nobody catches it.

Just watching the crew relax is good medicine though.

[prolesunited]

81. Sorry you're under the weather

Are all the smiles and laughter in here perking up your spirits yet?

[BlondieK143]

59. 2 Long Island Iced Teas...

prefaced by two shots of Grey Goose, followed by 4 Bud Light longnecks.



It's been a rough week.

[prolesunited]

65. My, my, my

Sounds like a VERY rough week. Anything in particular you care to share?

BTW, before I liquor you up, I need to know that you do have a designated driver.

[BlondieK143]

67. Hold 'em off until 9.

Working until then. :) Just a lot of stuff. Dealing with my grandfather's lung cancer diagnosis and other random hardships. We all have them, they're just all bearing down on me hard right now.

Have a couch I can pass out on?

[Commendatori]

61. I would very much like your finest German pils, bitte

[prolesunited]

66. Will this do? Seems like an appropriate choice

[Commendatori]

73. A fine choice, thank you :))))))) (n/t)

[Kellanved]

76. let's have a Berliner Pilsner

Maybe not the finest German Pils, but certainly the best from the capital.

:toast: prost



http://www.berliner-pilsner.de/

Although the espargus season makes me fancy the Nordheimer Vöglein Kerner Kabinett trocken in my fridge...

[texas1928]

63. Actually

Some Corona and lime. Think I will go Mexican tonight.

[prolesunited]

68. Seems to be a popular choice

Perhaps frankzappa will share his nachos and burrito with you.

[texas1928]

71. Or some Tecate with lime and salt on the rim of the can

Through some fajitas on the grill and cactus. and chow down.

[tigereye]

72. how about another pitcher of Sangria

makes me think of one of my favorite restaurants here, Mallorca. Sitting outside with sangria, while handsome waiters fawn over me. :)
and then Paella. ahhhh.

[texas1928]

74. Big pitcher of Margaritas

Not a big Sangria fan

[SarahB]

75. How about a big glass of water with a lemon wedge?

That'll do me just fine for the rest of the afternoon. :P

[prolesunited]

77. Well, sure

But you *sure* I couldn't get you anything else? Did I mention that I have a magic machine that zaps out the calories from any drink?

[SarahB]

83. No calories? In that case- a BIG chocolate milkshake!

(with crushed oreos and whipped cream on top!) :P

[mac56]

78. A big pitcher of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, please.

Keep 'em comin'.

[prolesunited]

80. I'll get you all set up here

Just sit back and relax. How was your week? Anything exciting planned for the weekend?

[mac56]

82. nothing good

My best friend is quite ill. Taking a short break before flying off to see him.

Set 'em up, proles...

[prolesunited]

86. Sorry to hear that :-(

I know you didn't ask, but can I give you a hug anyway? :hug:

I'm sure it will mean a lot to your friend to have you there.

[prolesunited]

85. I just wandered out of the Lounge

Very, very bad idea.

Anyone care to join me in another drink?

[EstimatedProphet]

87. Something hard

Tequila/bourbon/Scotch, etc.
Guess I'll have a single malt, on the rocks

[prolesunited]

97. Long week?

Pull up a stool and unload.

[EstimatedProphet]

114. Yes it was

I found out the last couple days that I am toxic to computers.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

89. Port Wine!

Cockburns or Dows....Tawny

[prolesunited]

99. Just happened to get some of that in this week

Tonight must be your lucky night. Perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket. :-)

[bigwillq]

90. I'll take a Heineken and a shot

of Red Death.

[prolesunited]

100. Aaaah!

The simple pleasures of life — a shot and a beer. Want me to turn on the TV for you? What would you like to watch?

[bigwillq]

111. No TV. Me at work so you'll have to

sneak that drink and shot to me.

[northofdenali]

91. Have you got any Grey Goose in the freezer?

Just pass the bottle and a small glass...........my motorcycle's broke and I can't get it fixed till next week! :cry:

[prolesunited]

101. Of course!

Where else would you keep Grey Goose? Here ya go.

What's wrong with the motorcycle? How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

[northofdenali]

104. The weather's been nice - 50's to 60's mostly (heat wave)

and that's why the bike being out of commission is so frustrating! Intake problem, I'm not sure exactly what, a result of not-so-great mechanics doing a gear-fix recall last winter. I've only put 250 miles on it this year so far. ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Thanks for the Goose, proles, it'll help a lot! :loveya:

[VOX]

92. A shot of Wild Turkey 101 with an Anchor Steam back...

And I thank you...:)

[VOX]

93. A shot of Wild Turkey 101 with an Anchor Steam back...

And I thank you. :)

[prolesunited]

103. Wow, must have needed it bad

You had to post your request twice. :P

Sorry, got a little distracted with work.

[Triple H]

94. Buy me a pint...

of anything.

[prolesunited]

105. How's this?

;-)

[Andy_Stephenson]

96. A triple burbon...

neat.

[prolesunited]

108. A triple?!?!?

If you drink two, is it a septuplet?

Don't worry, the jokes will only get lamer as the night wears on.

[Bill Wade]

98. So after this case, the next case, and the case after that...

we're all out of beer! We need to make a beer run, truly. :)

[prolesunited]

109. Not in my bar

The beer — along with the laughter and love — NEVER run out.

Come, sit a spell. You're new here. Glad you could join us. Care to tell us about yourself?

[KDLarsen]

102. .. I have a new found love for Russian beer..

.. unfortunantly, I'm unable to either pronounce it or type it :P

So I'll settle for a stubby bottle of Carlton Cold - I once carried a case of it around a city, trying to find out where a party I was invited to, was held :D

[salin]

106. are folks still standing? If so... I'll take a Becks

please :D

[prolesunited]

107. Yep, still standing

I think we're on the second shift, though. NSMA was in here earlier, but I guess you missed her.

So, what are you up to on a Friday night?

[salin]

110. actually have an evening with no work on the plate

well... there is work to be done - but I am choosing to spread it out over the weekend. Guess I unintentionally missed crossing paths with NMSA on the thread - she already had to chase me off a thread earlier (at my request - I knew I might be procrastinating earlier in the day...)

Right now am trying to balance my wonder at how these gazillion, loud, ugly, little bugs have lived for so long to help me from wanting to step on and crush them because they are so annoying and creepy - and all over the place. We have thousands upon thousands of cicadas on our property. I waiver between awe (when inside or on the porch) and complete disgust (when outside and the ugly buggers fly into me...)

[prolesunited]

112. You know, you really do

work too hard. Have two! :-)

Oddly enough, I haven't seen any of those critters yet but I'm sure they are coming. Word of advice: Keep your mouth shut. Eeeew!

:hi:

[salin]

113. maybe you will be spared

from first hand reports around the north, west, east and south side of indy- the cicadas aren't emerging at all. heck in some places of bloomington they are pretty light. But we have a fairly wooded lot - that hasn't been disturbed (by construction) for two brood x cycles as is the case for the neighboring areas. Hence - scads and scads and scads of them.

Think I will have that second Becks... :D

[bearfan454]

115. Miller Lite for me

please

[fujiyama]

116. Being that

I drank a lot yesterday night, I think I'll go with a Ginger Ale (I always give myself a one day gap after heavy drinking).

What a night -- Pistons completely blew out the Nets! Granted, I really wasn't paying much attention by the second half...

[texas1928]

117. Well I posted earlier

Coronas and lime.

But I am drinking JD and Coke. Wish I had some Crown Royal and 7UP
