Right...

:: Dogscoff stalks out of the bar and returns with a fireman's ladder.

"Soon get that cat down from there..."

:: He walks over to where Tigga is hiding in the rafters, extends the ladder, loops it over the feline neck and then reracts the ladder, trapping Tigga's head between the rungs. He pulls him to the floor, and while Tigga struggles to get the ladder off, Dogscoff goes to the bar to acquire a bottle of brandy (on Tigga's tab, of course.) He then rubs all Tigga's fur up the wrong way (cats hate that) and pours contents of the brandy bottle into the ruffled fur. Finally, he flicks open his lighter and... *whoosh!*

:: Dogscoff goes up to the specials board, adds the words "Tigga Flambee" to the bottom, then leaves the bar in a dignified fashion while Tigga runs around the bar, screaming like a cartoon character.

Walking into the cantina gingerly...looking around to make sure all is safe...I sit at the bar...What a week! Ordering my drink of choice..., mead of course, I am informed that my tab is over the limit.

"What?...but I've only been here once before." I inform the bartender as I look at the tab...Gryphin, someone named Growl Tigga and a slew of others...I look around with narrowed eyes...I never get mad...even yes but never mad. I pull out my trusty Visa and give it to the bartender. "Keep that mead coming!" I say as I take another sip, apple cyser this time...yum!

The bartender informs me that a breakfast has been paid for by a Mac and would I like that now? I shake my head no...too late for that now but I will take it some morning soon..I also inform him that NO ONE is to put anything on my tab unless I say so and I am in the cantina at the time.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon has a quick peek into the bar and motions for one of the Fluffie Bunnie Waitresses to come over. After admiring her new bullet proof vest and combat helmet, he whispers in her ear. She smiles, happy to have a chance to assist in bringing one of the more unruly patrons to book. Saxon hands her a package and then walks off.

Some time later, Tigga bounces down from the ceiling, pausing only to spray the nearest barstool with urine. He shouts for some beverages and the Fluffie Bunnie Waitress promptly arrives with his drink.

Gryphin, sitting comfortably in the corner, notes something odd happen. He sees the FBW smile at Tigga, an unusual event, as usually only the Living Dead smile at Tigga. The FBW then begins to stroke Tigga under the chin and compliment his fur. A strange purring noise fills the room, usually only heard following an injury to Dogscoff. Tigga reclines on the chair and enjoys having his fur rubbed and caressed by the FBW. He is so content that he fails to notice that the FBW is rubbing black dye into his fur, turning him from an orange and black tiger to a pure black Jaguar. Gryphin wisely stays quiet.

Some time later, Tigga leaps back to the rafters, landing somewhat unsteadily. He totters over to his full length mirror to admire himself, as he is prone to do, and discovers that he is no longer a Tigga, but is now a Jaguar. He immediately falls into a crisis of self identity and his head begins to hurt. Is he truly a Tigga? Or is he really just an ad for an English motorcar? The pain begins to grow and grow and a swelling begins in his head. Soon afterwards Gryphin hears a popping noise and sees a number of pieces of wrinkled grey organic matter fall from the ceiling. It lands on Mac’s pizza, but Mac does not notice and continues eating. Gryphin, realizing that an identity crisis has made Tigga’s head explode, considers telling Mac. Once again, Gryphin stays quiet.

Saxon returns to the Cantina after work. He is carrying his own food and drink, as well as a large tip for the FBW.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

AWOOGA COOLCAT ALERT
AWOOGA COOLCAT ALERT

Tigga strolls into the bar after a pleasant perambulation around the shopping districts of Tokyo.

Gryphin is sitting in the corner as usual, but is now drooling over some poor young lady who smells of apples.. "hmmm" thinks Tigga, "I wonder if anyone has told her about appropriate tactics for defending caravanserai and that strange posture old shorteyes takes up?"

Mac is still scoffing pizza and looking like a tramp, Taz is getting jiggy with the pinball machine, Dogscoff is knitting, Chardo Mon is developing civilised habits and is practising his football chants and Saxon is trying to give a rabbit a big tip....

Tigga strolls over to Saxon and explains quietly to him that he cannot ever mess with the Growltigga as being a european tiger, said GT has far more style, elan, panache, elegance, self confidence, savoir faire, good looks, dynamism, coolness and just plain tiggerness than anyone else. GT then empties the contents of his rucksack on Saxon's table - watching Saxon being buried under miscellaneuos weaponry, Tigga further explains that the Cantina is now going to be a quiet place as the Tigga believes in peace through superior firepower

Saxon starts blubbing like a girl and leaves Cantina crying his eyes out

Tigga sits down, orders a coffee and turns the TV on to watch the Japan/Tunisia game.

At half time (with Japan leading 2 nil), Tigga pops outside the Cantina, jumps into his XKR Jaguar sportster, chases after Saxon and runs him over..... twice

"hmmm" think the great Kat, "that will teach the hairy spindle-shanked moosekissing oats-starved misanthropomorphic Canadian lager-pansy"

He looks around and sees a strange site, the tigga is involved in some type of barbaric ritual. Hmm, curious Mac walks over and has a discussion with Mephisto who is in front of the tigga holding a watch on a long chain. What's up good Mephisto, what is the tigga doing, its disgusting...., Mephisto turns and looks at Mac with what could only be a very hideous smile. Hey Mac, I got this Idea from Tesco and Dogscoff, he berates very softly... What is it Mac asks... Mephisto with that wicked grin, answers, While the Tigga was downing some greenish ale, I hypotized him, as you know animals are prone to bright shiny things, and he is now currenlty LINE DANCING WITH SOME OF THE FURRY FLUFIE BUNNY WAITRESSES, he roars in outrageous laughter, tears come to his eyes... at this point all the regulars enter the bar, Tesco, Gryphin, Dogscoff, Saxon, Chardo, Fyron, along with Atrocities and a fair maiden that could only be Pooh Star. They all stare at the Tigga in disbelief, GrowlTigga Line Dancing???? what strange behaviour did he pick up over there in Japan they wonder, They all order their favorite drinks and some pizza, sit back in their favorite chairs and watch the grotesque gyrations of the Tigga as he flows thru the ritual known as LINE DANCING.. Tesco and Saxon shake their heads in disbief, what next, will the tigga take up Moose Kissing and Gnu Chasing????? To watch a KAT line dancing is beyond comprehension to say the least, or lets just say its not something you would want your children to see. (Gryphin's in the cornor with what appears to be a camcorder filming the titanic movements of the tigga, hmmm, now what is HE up to, Mac wonders???

Undamaged ships in damaging warp points:

Could be that every individual component on the ship has a damage rating higher than the potential damage of the storm.

Bastone,
The Germans surrounded the town during the "Battle of the Bulge". Then sent a courior in with a written note demanding the sturrender of the Ammericans. The commander turned the paper over and wrote, "Nuts to you", some say he wrote, "Nuts".

The escort that dodged into the damaging storm had:
Bridge, Life Support, Crew Quaters, 6 1st level engines, 3 Level III supply bays. No mods.
It was on a rescue mision to a Colony ship I had pushed to an extreme. He finaly reached the colony ship and Fleeted up with it.
The over zealous captain was feeling a bit tooo lucky. On his own, (I would never give such orders), he lead the colony ship through an unexplored warp point right into a mine field. All were lost. Those poor colonist.
