trof's Self-Service Neighborhood Pub is: OPEN

[trof]

Sorry, got an injured hand, so it's self-service.
All the fixins is over there on the bar. Got a new icemaker, so I don't think y'all will run out like last time.

Miz t. made the nachos and the smoked salmon dip.
Roasted the peanuts myself. Just throw the shells on the floor. Dookus will sweep out later. Nice of him to volunteer.

Got ol' Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion on the radio, so try and keep the jukebox down a little.

Would somebody mind fixing me a Scotch and soda?
Thanks. Y'all are too kind to an old man.

Ther's a tip box on the bar, if you think you did a really good job for yourself. We'll just split 'em at the end of the night.

Enjoy yourselves, and HAPPY SATURDAY!
:toast:

1. I'm listening to PHC too! Where's the Bushmills???

Al Franken is on up here today...something about that show makes me feel good. :-) So, what are you waiting for? Go get the Bushmills!

[trof]

2. It's right there behind the Wild Turkey.

We really need more room on the bar.
Yep, it a rebroadcast that I missed. Can't wait for Franken.

[Raven]

3. Yup, found the Bushmills...

cheers! :9

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Could you turn up that radio a little?

Ah, that's better. Just in time for the last few bars of Powdermilk Biscuit song.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Hey, ya got any Leinies around here?

Maybe a little shot of brandy.

"My old guitar" now.

[trof]

7. Sure thing.

Sometime I get some grief from the jukebox listeners.
Don't seem to be many in here tonight.

[havocmom]

5. Here's your Scotch & soda. I made myself a vodka tonic.

What did you do to your hand?

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Yeah, I meant to ask that.

[trof]

12. see below

[trof]

10. Hey, thanks a lot havocmom.

Recharging a seltzer bottle and it exploded in my hand a week ago. Posted about it here a couple of times, so won't take up the space.
Get the stitches out Monday.

[havocmom]

14. Serves ya right for drinking that horrid Scotch & soda

Stick with Irish Whiskey, straight up, and stuff like that never happens!

Seriously, sorry I missed your accident report and hope you are mending well. I know what a hassle it is having your hand outta commission. I had to spend 6 weeks holding my right hand on top of my head to assure a surgery healed properly. I looked really silly and was pretty helpless. Did get a lot of odd people waving back at me though.

[Bunny]

9. I'll fix my own martini, trof.

Where's the Bombay Sapphire? BTW, Mrs. trof is a real charmer. You married above yourself, didn't you? ;)

[trof]

11. WHY does he always say that?

It was kinda folksy the FIRST time.
'Cordin' to him EVERYBODY did.
Did no one marry at or below?
putz

[Bunny]

25. In his case, it appears to be a draw.

They both married at about their own level, which isn't very high, IMO!

[Cuban_Liberal]

13. Mind if i pour myself a Flor de Cana and some Schweppes' tonic?

Where are the lime wedges? never mind, I see 'em.

Thanks! *sip*

:D

[trof]

15. The little ones are Key Limes.

The big ones are...I don't know...just regular limes?
The keys are a little sweeter.

[Cuban_Liberal]

17. NICE touch!

I'll have a Key lime, of course. You run a first-class place, pal!

:D

[trof]

20. We aim to please. Flor de Cama? Flower of ???

Is this a rum?

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. Yes, it's a rum.

It's a silver 121-proof rum from Nicaragua. If you like rum, you'll fall in love with it. It name means 'flower/bloom of the cane'.

:)

[trof]

16. Question:

If you get virtually sh*tfaced in a virtual bar, does someone have to virtually drive you home and do you have a virtual hangover the next day?

Just asking.
;-)

[Cuban_Liberal]

18. The virtual bouncer will handle it.

;)

[Rowdyboy]

24. Hopefully, or the virtual cop might pull you over on the way home...

Virtual Jail :scared:

[trof]

28. Sometimes virtual life virtually sux.

Good thing I'm ACTUALLY home and don't have to go anywhere.

[Rowdyboy]

30. And I'll fix myself another drink (real, not virtual)

and congratulate myself that I'm home too, and headed nowhere but to bed-in another 6 or 8 hours! Need more news first!

[trof]

32. Same here. Real drinks, virtual location. eom

[Rowdyboy]

35. I'm starting to get hungry...Anyone for virtual catfish?

Hell, I may have to get up and go get some. I'd have to drive two blocks, but its fresh catfish (and oysters) so I may just force myself...

[havocmom]

19. I'll keep the Scotch & sodas coming your way

and you can get back to us with an answer

[havocmom]

22. And remember to keep your hand elevated when you dance!

[trof]

23. If you EVER see me dancing

then you will know that I am absolutely away with the fairies.
I'm actually a pretty good dancer, but the spirit doesn't move until I am well into my cups. Then I can jitterbug, bop, waltz, two-step, whatever like a sunuvabitch.

"I won't dance, dont' ask me."

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. I'd like a wee drop of Irish also....

But Jameson's please. Bushmills is made in Northern Ireland. And as a good republican (the Irish type, mind you) I must drink with political correctness.

Do you need another scotch and soda, trof? And which scotch is your favorite poison?

[trof]

27. I understand about Bushmills vs Jameson's.

Used to fly with some Irish (prods and papists) who set me straight.
BTW, these guys got along great.
My favorite Scotch is whatever is available, thanks.
Used to be a Johhny Walker fan, but they priced themselves out of my budget.
Lately it's been 100 Pipers.
Scothch snobs will whip on me now.
Bottom line...I never met Scotch I didn't like.
Like the Irish too, either one.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. Hmmmm, I have a bottle of White Horse that someone gave me...

And I don't drink scotch. I'll stand you some Glenfiddich, to help you recover from your injury.

[trof]

31. Ah...rounds are over again. Now I can really kick back.

My "medical rounds" aren't over until Ace-the-cat has his insulin shot and I take my cholesterol and blood pressure meds.
And the bilberry for the eyes and the chondroitin-glucosomine-MSM fer the jernts.

This stuff works, for me anyway.
Night vision had really suffered, as it tends to with age. I'm 63 (tomorrow, YAY!). Bilberry has helped quite a bit.
The C-G-MSM has made a hell of a difference with the arthritis in me knees.

OK, back to the drinkin'!
:toast:

37. Hap-py birfdy. {Hic}

Heerztooya.

Aw, dang. Heezgone.

[Blue-Jay]

33. I'm gonna serve myself to some bourbon.

No gig tonight FINALLY, so I think I'll putter around the house, and maybe watch a movie later. It's weird to have a free Saturday night.

[trof]

34. Drinkin' Bourbon doesn't make you a bad person.

First hard likker drink I ever had was Bourbon an' Branch.
Welcome to the pub.

[trof]

36. Sayonara guys.

Dinner time.
I had a nice time.
Thanks.
Y'all play nice now.
:hi:
