oPEN hOUSE - fREE bEER

[velvet]

Midday here in Oz, I'm not shit-faced yet but the day is young ... and moderation is the key. Nice day weatherwise, not too hot, not too cold, bastard summer sun behind light cloud-cover ... so I thought I'd invite you all over. Take off your coat, here's a sarong.

I thought a party thread might be in order. Talk about anyfing, mingle, dance, sing ... whatever, it's open house. Sorry I lied about the free beer.

[kayakjohnny]

1. So then you also lied about the free round-trip tickets to Oz?

Oh and PS... moderation is not the key to shit-faced yet. Acceleration is though. And find out who that summer sun's mum is before word gets out.

Otherwise, Cheers!

2. I admit it

I'm a lousy hostess. I cheat, I lie ... do what I have to to get byeee. Oh Leonard Cohen played here last summer, saw him at a vineyard venue, magic.

Cheers to you kayakjohnny! Clink!

3. Clink!

:toast:

[quakerboy]

4. Thank goodness

Beer is the devils soup. lips that touch liquer and all that. I was so out of here if you really had free beer.

5. quakerboy!

Have a seat. Tea or coffee? One lump or two?

[quakerboy]

6. Got any water that doesnt turn things pink?

all the water here eventually turns things pink. It kinda freaks me out. On the other hand, I think I just got a new toothbrush for my wife for free.

[velvet]

7. yikes

So I guess you and your wife have also gone pink, assuming you both shower at home.



Toothbrush ... for Christmas? Nice. I bet she's rapt. Here, have a glass of last weeks' rainwater. From an in-ground tank, nice and cool.

[quakerboy]

8. I think it only happens to things that hold still and are moist long enough

And as my skin can well attest, I am quite dry. But it seems to grown in the shower. and around fixtures. and sometimes on things that are set aside and forgotten for just a little to long. Its kinda freaky, but everything I read indicates its fairly common and harmless.

Actually, I got her a vacuum for Christmas. The toothbrush was her mothers present last year, and the new one is due to a waranty issue where they said they will be sending a new replacement out.

Thanks for the water. Anyone want one of the cookies my realtor gave me that I cant eat?

[velvet]

9. seems no one can

Give them to the dog.

10. I'm visiting Oz in Feb..any places you recommend for a young,hot babe..

to visit?

[velvet]

11. landing in Sydney? or elsewhere?

Sydney is crawling with young, hot babes, you'll fit right in.

[Bicoastal]

12. Oi! A dingo ate my baby!

(sigh) Even I am ashamed.

[velvet]

13. I shake my head in wonder

... and in sorrow. Bad Bicoastal, for punishment you must take a glass of Bailey's, in the slender hope it will raise the tone of your banter. Or perhaps you'd prefer one of quakerboy's cookies?

[Bicoastal]

14. But I've already had a full bottle of California Merlot!

[velvet]

15. okay then you must sing us a song

You're probably at the singing stage anyway. :)

[Bicoastal]

16. I WANNA HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS!

ONLY A HIPPOPOTAMUS WILL DO!

NO (hic) CROCODILES

NO RHINOCEROSES

I ONLY (hic) WANT

HIPPOPOTAMUSES

(Glrrrrrrrgh)

[velvet]

17. bravo!!

Magnificent, especially the ending. Ever thought of going on the stage?

[Bicoastal]

18. I have been, on occasion.

[velvet]

19. me too

In what capacity/circumstances?

Ah, the boards! A good performance with decent material is a very satisfying thing, no?
