<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's not really fair. There are plenty of non-pilsner, micro-brews available in the States (back when I drank I took water and stayed dry when pilsner was all to be had). If you've not seen them before you've been visiting the wrong cities. These are not big breweries, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't export and you foreigners have never heard of them.

Do not underestimate the power of Uncle John's back woods grain alcohol (everybody has an Uncle John).

Additionally keep in mind that, as good as Anglo whiskeys might be, it's not bourbon whiskey if it's not from Bourbon County, Kentucky.

And finally, outside of Cuba, where are you going to find better big production Rum than that of Puerto Rico?

Mac, notices a strange color in the brewski he ordered, hmmm, the furry feline is recycling again, ugh,,, Mac pours the tainted brewski onto the floor, (with a tear in his eye) what a waste, he mumbles, he reaches down into his mini astro backpack cooler laying on the floor, and pulls out an ice cold Coors, ahhahhah, he mutters, pops the tab and downs the delicious, cool, refreshing, brewski http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif all the while watching the strange happenings over at the fish tank,

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, Donogh was actually a Kraaken rather than a squid (watch "Clash of the Titans" if you want to know the difference) and I for one will not be touching any of that supposed Calamari. Kraaken are nowhere near as tender as squid and besides, as anyone who plays nethack well knows, randomly eating monsters is just asking for trouble.

Secondly, you seem to be forgetting the radioactive godzilla-penguins, the shrimp micro-ninja, the exploding demolition lobsters and all my other aquatic denizens. Read through the old cantina threads and count them up if you like.

Of course those days are behind me now, this is only a short reprise for old times' sake.

Hmmmm, I think I need to expand the menagerie of the Cantina kitchen into woodland animals...

No more will there be the Byzantine Hordes of Killer Mongoose, roll on the marshalled legions of killer squirrels, badgers and humpin' bunnies

Yee haw, and this greek dancing is knackering, I think I need to join Giselle for a lie down in teh big shell!

Boss, RD, bad news. They've delayed the opening of Starfury for at least another... (looks on UWW pad) 10 weeks. [OOC - Shrapnel Games Press Release ] Not that that would absolutely prevent the Cantina from opening separately, but it would mean business will be kinda slow until the rest of the show gets going... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Hmmm, Woundwort, so how do you think you are going to fund the first 10 weeks mandatory fixed payments due to me for the franchise?

I hear that spleen and livers are picking up a great price on the black market.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Taking it out of the playtesters' hides looks like a good option to me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

No, seriously, I can cover the mortgage. I'm just torqued that the game is in limbo - as will the Cantina, evidently... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

Hmmm, I think a goodwill payment equivalent to the first 20 weeks mortgage, franchise rentla and profit share payments will suffice.

I'll have it now in cold hard cahs if I may, failing which I hear there is now black market demand for ringpieces. I wonder what I could get for yours!!

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

[barely audible mutterings] I'm gonna get somebody for this...

[punching a few buttons on my wrist computer... A flatbed gravcart floats in, with 10 large pLasteel crates. Inside each crate, 2 weeks worth of mortgage, franchise rentla and profit share, in gold-pressed latinum]

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth
 

Hmmm, thank you Woundwort. I just need PricewaterhouseCoopers to verify payment and your ringpiece is safe from me.... for the moment.

A pity, as I found an old lady in the Philippines who was quite keen to acquire a new one, and was willing to pay top dollar. Apparently hers has been ruined after a life of eating vindaloos
