The Octagon Bar: Swanky and Soaked for 2005

[starsforu2]

That's the one I have - so wonderful
I also have the remix version that is about 8:19 to be exact

I Lloyd Dobler (and John Cusack for that matter )

say anything - such a good movie...

Can you believe that Tara has never seen that one? And she lives in that part of the country! It should be on everyone's to see list. Lloyd Dobler is my hero!

"If you guys know so much about girls, what are you doing at a gas & sip on a Saturday night?"

** A bunch of guys look at each other and then begin the chorus **

We're Choosing it! Yeah, We're Choosing it! Conscious Choice!

Hey Pax? How'd that job interview go?

 

[pax]

It was fairly tedious and insulting to my intelligence, but other than that, not bad.

I have to spend the WHOLE DAY tomorrow at this advertising firm that might hire me...apparently they are quite serious about the interview process.

Can you make me a sweet little drink?

 

[starsforu2]

Hey Chrissi, my special remix is only 6:58? Yours is 8:19. I'm listening to it now. Thanks!

How's a whisky Sour sound? I recall drinking a few of those until I switched to only beer

** Adds 2 oz Blended whiskey some and some Lemon Juice followed by a 1/2 tsp Powdered sugar **

Here's hoping you get the job, and that it's a job worth getting

** Shakes blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strains into a whiskey sour glass. Decorates the glass with the half-slice of lemon, and tops it with a cherry **

Hey, can any of you tie a cherry stem into a knot with your mouth alone? If so, prove it!

 

[pax]

I can't do it, but I can...

well...

never mind.

 

[starsforu2]

** Points at Pax before she can talk about her talented mouth **

You missed all the fruit and vegetable talk earlier, it was quite amusing!

 

[pax]

It's not nice to point.

 

[nurse chrissi]

Pax - good luck on the interview tomorrow - hope all goes well

as for the tie the knot in the cherry thing - can't do that - but can to the lipstick trick from the breakfast club pretty well

 

[pax]

Thanks!

Very nice! Wait, you were the one with the melons. It all makes sense now of course

I've been able to tie the knot with my tongue, but it takes a long time. So I guess you'd say that I might not be talented, but I am persistent.

** Points at Pax, because it bugs her **

I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you.

I just turned 4

[starsforu2]

:: points at Tim ::

knock that off! Don't you know how rude that is? Didn't your parents teach you anything?

I'm out of here!

** Walks out of the door and casts a backward glance at Pax **

Good luck on your interview tomorrow! ** and then proceeds to run into the door jamb, THWACK **

I'll see you'all tomorrow.

Thanks for the Song Chrissi!

Tim

That Tim. He's so dreamy.

:: finishes whiskey sour, saunters out ::

Tim

That Tim. He's so dreamy.

:: finishes whiskey sour, saunters out ::

Apparently, he's also got skills!

I loved Napolean Dynamite! That guy is so hilarious, great great movie. But "Say Anything"...*sigh* now that is a movie. If you think about it, that scene where John is lifting the boombox above his head and Peter Gabriel is playing in the background, could not possibly work with any other song, It would just be wrong. Cameron Crowe is a film genius (well, almost genius--Vanilla Sky was a hiccup)!


Good luck on your interview tomorrow pax!


::makes herself a madori sour and turns TV on to watch Alias. Hmmmmmm, Michael Vartan... ::

** Wheels in Giant Cake. Whistles the tune to Happy Birthday while pushing this giant cake into the middle of the Octagon **

It's Alan's Birthday today, and in his honor, a succession of beautiful Octagonians will leap out of the cake to wish him a happy birthday!

*ahem* Ladies, try not to trip and fall when you exit the cake, we still want to eat some of it later.

Yep, the man with the big fish is 28 years old today! He excels in finding odd mixes of cool songs and distributes them to friends and lovers. May his 28th year be filled with love and joy and U2 concerts!

Happy Birthday Alan!

 

[starsforu2]

** After finishing the opening ceremonies I glance at the bar **

Well well, look at these pictures! Tara you were the cutest thing in these pictures! And you're still precocious as hell! One day, I'll have to dig up some delicious baby pictures at my cutest. I think Mom has most of them still. She has a picture of me on a blanket as a toddler, mostly bald, but with my fist under my chin. Even at that age, I was a thinker It must have been my glamour Shot I think Deb did it!

And Brunette... So many looks. How will I ever recognize you when I meet you?

Hey Rebekah! Baby don't cry I hope you're feeling better this AM. Let us know if we can do anything for you. Bananas are good for hangovers I hear.

**Jumps out of birthday cake**

Ta-daa!

Happy Birthday Alan!

Hope you're having a great day!

Don't you at that, mister! They're known to cure the hangovers "Guinnitis Dublinitis" ( ) better than anything - and since The Octagon is in Dublin (you didn't move it - did you?! )...
