The Octagon Bar: Kilts No Longer Optional

[A_Wanderer]

Here are some of my Greek books and a few dictionaries of biology and geology + Stephen Jay Gould essays.

 

[U2democrat]

my dad has a few greek dictionaries as well. and mythology. can't say we have any physics stuff, my family is scientifically and mathematically challenged.

 

[Tania]

Hello, Hello

 

[A_Wanderer]

LOL, I cant get enough of that stuff - since I got back I have spent waay too much time online, this BC addiction is dangerous, tomorrow I think I will get up early and start running again.

 

[U2democrat]

hola!

 

[U2democrat]

First you need to hit the big 3000. That would be awesome.

 

[A_Wanderer]

I am sure that I will edge it out in the next day or so.

 

[U2democrat]

that would be a great moment.

 

[A_Wanderer]

You got sound where you are?

 

[U2democrat]

well i'm off to photography now. i'll be back later.

 

[A_Wanderer]

kk, see you later

 

[U2democrat]

yeah i do......i'll be back in a few mintues. i just realized i forgot to print out a picture.

 

[starsforu2]

Well u2dem heres a picture of my bookcase, I just arranged it. This is row III = politics, literature and philosophy theres also a few miscelaneous books in there for some reason.

I noticed that you have Spycatcher, that book was a BIG deal when it came out, especially since it was written by an ex-British intelligence officer, if I remember correctly. I think my Dad bought that for my Uncle who is English by birth. It came out in 1988 maybe? reaching into my memory. Ow! That hurts

**Enters the bar and walks up to the desk to make a cup of the infamous morning tea...**




**Puts a handful of cash on the desk, paying for a bottle of Jameson...**

Hope this place accepts Danish cash...


**Goes over and lies down on the couch - puts this song on repeat, playing it over... and over... and over... and over...**


Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry
Nowhere to go, nothing to do with my time
I get lonely, so lonely, living on my own.

Sometimes I feel I'm always walking too fast
And everything is coming down on me, down on me, I go crazy
Oh so crazy - living on my own.

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning
Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld
It's not easy - living on my own, my own, my own

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

** Hears depressing music on repeat **

This can't be healthy

Dorthe What's wrong? Why so blue?

The next bottle of Jamesons is free!

Let us know if we can help out

I'll be on the couch over here, working away on the laptop

Hey guys, honestly now....can you tell what my pic in the siggie is of....I had to resize it and I hope you can tell....

 

[Tania]

It's himself dancing with a girl (a la Live Aid?)?

 

[starsgoblue]

I got the Live Aid DVD two days ago and I think I've watched The Leap about 15 times....It just catches my breath. I don't know how Bono could have either thought he'd blown it by doing that...it's beautiful.

 

[Tania]

I remember watching it on the day and being amazed.

 

[starsgoblue]

I was 5 during Live Aid...my mom says I watched it...I have no recollection--I wish I did.

 

[Tania]

Hmmm, okay....

I was having a <<....whispers this bit....>>> party which had to be stopped to so I could watch U2 (oh the power of being the party girl).


Edits to make more sense

[U2democrat]

I'm back again. I have a test coming up in a couple periods that i should be studying for, but i figure i still fail when i study for that class so what's the point in trying?

:Takes a step back:


*Woah, I have a feeling I'm not in the same bar anymore...*


Did we remodel?


:Stares mischievously at a pole that stands firmly in the middle of the room and thinks.... Should I?

Looks around and sensing that no one is watching, she walks towards the jukebox and hits it with her thigh....Pink Floyd's "Young Lust" comes on loud and clear.

Bolting towards the pole, she twirls around it like her hair twirls around her fingers. Gone, she dances like it's her last night (or day) on earth.

After the song ends, she walks towards the bar counter and orders an apple martini--shaken not stirred. It's that kind of day.

** Pours 1 part Vodka, 1 part Sour Apple schnapps and 1 part Apple juice into a shaker. And gives it a vigorous shake **

It's either a fireman's pole, or a stripper pole. We should probably blast a hole in the roof and allow Santa Claus to slide down it instead of using the Chimney.

** Strains the Appletini into martini glass and adds a thin slice of green apple. **

Why would Tara want a stripper's pole anyway? Does that mean I get *ahem* have to install one in my basement?

Whoa, need to get back to reality. What's happening Angel?

 

[U2democrat]

**avoids being near the pole**

 

[ewen]

hi folks



when did the bar turn into a library???


* gets a beer from the bar and heads straight to Babylon for a smoke *

 

[pax]

A library? What bar are you in, man?

:: slides back into the hot tub with a Cherry Coke and Bacardi ::

 

[angel_of_L.A.]

I was just asking myself this same question. I figured a pole in the middle of the room can either mean one of several things--it's a dancing pole, a stripping pole, a firefighter pole, or a Santa pole.

I didn't see any hot firemen or other hot men in uniform inside the bar. I also didn't see Santa drinking. Although, after all his Christmas travel, one would figure that the man needs a drink!

I guess that's why I thought it was a dancing pole. Plus, I didn't want to take off my clothes in public (not that I've ever done that or anything )....

My oh my, I just had a scary thought...
What if it's a kilt-wearing dancing pole! Would we really want to see men do that?

 

[pax]

Yes. Yes, we would.
