The Octagon Bar:Home of Darren and Jackie

[ewen]

Wow this bar has changed a lot. Where's the alcohol? Where's the tomfoolery?

Everyone's seems so sad...or maybe it's just me. Knowing me, it probably is me.

no, it's not just you.....the Octagon died weeks ago - IMO too.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Well, I'm off to dinner
TTFN you crazies!

 

[U2democrat]

i'm not sad.

but i know what you're talking about.

 

[angel_of_L.A.]

no, it's not just you.....the Octagon died weeks ago - IMO too.

If that's true, then I have no place to play...the Octagon was my safe place.

 

[U2democrat]

It's still safe...

[angel_of_L.A.]

It's still safe...

Amen. It's a chat thread now. Not a bar. But it is what we make it and if we don't invest in it to make it a bar then it is what it is. Not better or worse necessarily, just different...

** Pulls out Sam Adams from behind the bar, smiles at Wolfeden and the dogs and proceeds over to the couch **

Lots of new faces around here though That's a good thing!

** Opens up greeting card and begins to pen a note to someone I miss **

 

[pax]

Hey, we're trying over here, bartender!

 

[starsforu2]

Hey, we're trying over here, bartender!

Pax, you always understood the bar, weren't you the one who kept resurrecting the hot tub?

I think it would help if we were to post an introduction when we start a new bar so that new people would get into the spirit of the bar. Just a thought...

** Begins to address letter, and takes a swig of my beer and checks watch **

Oh st! I gotta go Survivor tonight!

** Grabs stuff and heads out the door **

Sorry, I've been too busy to post... No, I'm not! I'm having the time of my life in the real world! Bye folks

 

[U2democrat]

/wakes up

[U2democrat]

i guess my drunken state has scared everyone off.

 

[U2democrat]

(sorry couldn't resist i was just listening to the song )

 

[ewen]

[pax]

Hmmm, I like that idea, Tim...a "gentle reminder" (I was always famous for those, LOL) at the beginning of each bar.

Why don't you PM me a rough draft and I can edit it in from now on?

 

[u2bonogirl]
