Mlmbd (what does that stand for by the way?), the candy is chocolate coated haemmorroid and Chalfonts from Puke's rather sore rear end.... quite tasty I am assured by the more discerning weirdo.....

The party is hotting up, Taz is mixing cocktails like a demon, the FBW's are samba-ing their hearts out, foam is now being sprayed onto the dancefloor and the killer mongooses in the kitchen has managed to break through into the toilets and are currently amusing themselves by putting cellophane just under the toilet seats.

Taz, serve me a bottle of that Shepherd Neame Spitfire Ale, after all, no Fokker comes close

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
OK, I'll will take a pass on the candy, then! *mlmbd replies in disgust* Just have to eat some 'Cheetos' then!

The 'Cheetos' don't contain any puke, do they? *mlmbd questions*

mlmbd shouts "Taz, give me one of those bottles of Shepherd Neame Spitfire Ale". Thanks!

GT, FYI mlmbd stands for Mother Loves Me Best Dude. It came from a routine "The Smothers Brothers" did. Tommy Smothers was always saying to his borther Dicky; "Mom always Loved you Best, Dicky." So 'mlmbd' is my Version of that! The routine was, Brilliant by the way!

*Leaves the inner sanctum very annoyed holding one mongoose by the neck and flings it towards the bar just missing another of taz's cocktails. The rest of mongooses laugh hysterically from behind the ajar door. Watches as mlmbd considers using the vending machine and remembers the time he took them to a friends birthday party*

Welcome back taz

GT You cleared up Pukes haemmorroids, i don't want to know how exactly but my mind keeps bringing up the fearful image of the red hot poker cannon.

*Wanders behind the bar and proceeds to head into the storeroom and wheels a barrel of booze to the dancefloor and begins to tamper with the foam cannon. A few minutes later the samba'ing fbw's are being covered with the spraying brewski. Almost everyones toungues suddenly become erect like of that beer advert on the tv and they rush to the dancefloor*

The crusty old timer in the infamous cornor, invites The Gryphin to join him to remeniss on the old cantina days and to discuss new research theories, He also turns over to RD a box of used colostomy bags and deposits the minerals into his off planet account. The old geezer doesn't use them anymore as he had a circumventing operation on RenDexIII which eliminated the recycled waste containers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

He greets the Taz with much back slapping and hooting. (he also learned from him, after he checked the books, who has tabs and who don't) Mac tells the Good Taz to put his on David G's tab. It appears it doesn't have that much outstanding and we can't allow that right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

He notices Geo sneaking in from the Patio ordering a brewski, hmmm, He has a FBW take him a plate of pukeabob with chili sauce just to perk him up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

He notices a number of loo worshipers exiting the Inner Sanctum quite hurridly, hmmm, now whats going on in there?

Mac munches on his meal and continues to watch the happenings in the cantina, however, in the back round he still hears a TICKING noise, I guess its still here he mumbles to himself.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Guys, there is no magic as to the secret ingredient in the cantina food. It is not even noxious. It is simply MARMITE.

Goes well with everything, even Puke parts.

Hearing a call for:

Quote:

Shepherd Neame Spitfire Ale
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Taz opens a new cask and drains off the top half in the interest of quality control... Yep, good Kentish ale! Releasing a burp that reverses the flight route of a mongoose someone threw at the bar, Taz begins to pass out the remainder of the cask.

While most of his attention is focused on his tasks, Taz notices a faint ticking. Hmmm, does somebody have a very loud watch or is that some bomb timer going?
Oh well, what can a mere bomb do that hasn't been done here before?

Hey Everyone, try the Twiglets the Cantina is serving at the bar - it only LOOKS like tree twigs covered in Marmite!

MARMITE... I'm having a flashback of the "Marmite argument" that happened so many times when I was a kid.

FRIEND: Hey, put some marmite on your bread. It's good!

ME: I don't like marmite.

FRIEND: What, have you tried it?

ME: Yes, a few times, remember? I don't like it.

FRIEND: Why not? I like it! It's good!

ME: I don't like the strong taste of it.

FRIEND: Everyone says that. That's because you spread it too thick. You just put a thin layer on your bread and it's good. People put way too much on and then they say they don't like it, but they're doing it wrong.

ME: You told me that before. I did put it on really thin. I still don't like it.

FRIEND: I still think you put it on too thick.

ME: OK, we went through this before, but fine. Here goes. See, this is thin.

FRIEND: OK, it's good, isn't it?

ME: It was this thin the Last time we did this. It tastes exactly the same as Last time, and I still don't like it. And I know we're going to go through this same argument again next week!

"Happy days are here again, oh happy days are here again"

I am so happy, the current Mrs GT is going away shopping with friends this weekend (to Milan for god's sake) and I have taken delivery of 6 crates of assorted Kentish ale.... Spitfire, Bishop's Finger, 1698, Late Red and Goldings....

Yippee, this weekend is going to be a hop enthused haze.....

Funny call though cos the plumber who is fitting my new bathroom called me to say there was large van at the house delivery 72 bottles of prime ale.... I told him to accept delivery and keep his horrible mits off my booze......

Shepherd Neame, possibly the best beer in the world... now all I need are some pickled eggs, some pork scratchings, some chicken itchings and some MARMITE (my mate marmite etc)....

Raging Deadstar, please can you clone Ines Sastre and Salma Hayek for me as I do fancy smothering the pair of them in Shepherd Neame ale and marmite.... and I wonder what they could do with a pickled egg or two!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Primitive, Marmite is a yeast extract which is thick and black like treacle, is very salty but contains about every Vitamin B compound you would ever need in life.... you eat it on bread, you put it in cooking BUT...

the big thing about MArmite is that you either love it or hate it. No one is ever in between.

Dogscoff hates it, I think Sarah Jessica Parker should be smeared in it

Marmite is the food of the gods, the elixir of life, ambrosia and nectar combined, and far more fun than peanut butter, hazelnut spread or any Shiphams' paste......

MARMITE

primitve decides to pass on the Marmite and get his vitamine B from his regular source. He orders another beer.

Actually, in periods when I do a lot of endurance training, I take a Yeast exctract (tasteless) to get some extra B1 (Tiamine) which is not in beer. Highly recomended.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 
GT, I don't mind the 'Marmite'! I kinda like that salty flavor. *mlmbd protests* It is all that puke you insist on using.

*mlmbd boasts* puke, here are 24 bags of 'Cheatos' I got out of the vending machine. So, now all is right with your 'Grey matter'. *mlmbd adds* That is every bag from the machine as well.

gryphin, 'Marmite' is mostly a UK thing. So, unless you live there, have friends in the UK or have spent some time there you probably would know about it! I will let one of our learned 'Brits' enlighten you as to what it is.

*mlmbd yells at the mongooses 'Alpha male' Hey 'Ceasar', I didn't know you and your 'clan' were working for GT. So how is everything with your 'clan'? *mlmbd quearies* And how is..is...*mlmbd tries to remember 'Ceasar's' buddy's name* ah....ah, Brutus? That was one hell of a party! Wasn't it? *mlmbd reminisses* This 'clan' of killer mongooses, is indeed a fierce clan. They come from the 'Joxsrnear' System! fierce as they come. Also some of the biggest partiers and pratical jokers around, anywhere.

as mlmbd waits for an answer from his old pal 'Ceasar' he scans the cantina. As he does, he hears; "tick......tick......tick."! Criky there is a bomb in here. He moves towards the very muffled ticking. All the FBW's dancing covered in 'Marmite', with all the patrons loudly celebrating and bottles breaking. Makes it very difficult to track. Thank God I was trained for explosive disarment/disposal *mlmbd thinks to himself* tracking ever closer to the ticking source.......*mlmbd walks right past RD, who says something to him that he now only hears as background noise.* Past Taz, GT and Gryphin. Into the storeroom he goes. The ticking is much louder and with all the adreniline he is now quite sober. *mlmbd moves to some stacked flour sacks* he removes he custom made 'Yuack' gloves. |sweat has begin to trickel down mlmbd's forehead| *mlmbd uses on of the gloves to wipe his forhead* mlmbd now runs hand along the sides of the large sacks of flour. About two-thirds the way around he feels a wire. He feels a lumb in his throat. And thinks to himself "wow, wish I had a bit of Ale right now! He moves around the sacks. Kneels down, an there it is a nice piece of work *mlmbd admits to himself* It has been awhile. mlmbd searches his jacket pockets. There they are, as he feels his 'side cutters and 'nippers'. Pulling them out of his pocket, placing them on a near by shelf. He proceed to check for any trace of a bobie trap on the device. No pressure plates, no wiring to the the flour sacks and No lasers present. mlmbd being satisfied that there are no bobie traps, gingerly removes the top sack of flour. Throwing the sack aside he see the entire device now. *just then a drop of sweat runs into his eye* wiping his forehead againg. mlmbd kneels down once more. Four screws hold the top in place. Fumbling through his pockets, searching for something. Not findind what he was looking for. Withdraws his hand. *mlmbd thinking thats is very odd* Then remembers that the items he was searcing for he had placed on the shelf. Geesh, mlmbd things to himself. He removes a 'Mc Gyver' patended pocket knife from his pants pocket. Open the knife to the desired selection of 'flat head' screw drivers. He proceeds to remove the screws holding the lid on. Now, let see this baby's inards. mlmbd removes the lid to the device. Revieling it's intrenal parts. His eye search the device. Very nice and very professional work. *mlmbd remarks to himself out loud!* Yes, there is what I needed to see. Grabing the 'nippers' from the shelf. Holds a yellow wire in between his fingers. Snip! The device stops ticking. mlmbd quickly remove the explosives and disconnects the power sourse. mlmbd breaths a 'Great' sigh of relief. Picks up all the components and re-enters the fornt of the house! Walking over to GT. mlmbd places 'all' but the explosive into his hands. Informing him that is was a bomb, and that it was in the storeroom. mlmbd walks to the bar and ask 'Taz' for a bottle of Guinness Stout, Thanks!

Rags still hears ticking noise coming from the back of the Cantina. He watches mlmbd set the parts of his bomb on the bar for GT to examine.

"mlmbd," Rags begins, "It's nice you found that bomb. But that wasn't the ticking noise everyone has been hearing. The "device" as it's known cannot be defused. Some time in the future this Cantina is going bye bye."

Rags drinks a brewski real quick and walks out. He takes his key to his massive dreadnaught and puts a nice long scratch down Timstones ship, he then takes a potato and sticks it in the exhaust system.
Then he Boards his ship and takes off.

Tired from a long day of chasing space herpes, I enter slowly. (this place being so new to me, I need to be extra careful)

I take my first steps towards the bar when my eyes catch something flying towards me. A large dart whizzes past my nose and I duck. It silently continues along towards its intended target. I stand, silent, watching as it makes a slow curve, then stopping abruptly as it hits the bull's-eyes on the floating dart board.

'Wow' I think to myself, I wish I could make my darts curve like that.

A loud voice is heard to boom over the dull roar of the bar crowd, "Bull's-eye, my game. OK, who else wants to get humiliated?"

'Not me, I'm not even in the same league' I whisper softly to myself as I make my way to the bar. Looking at the large selection of drinks, I make my decision, "Gimme some of that blue stuff"

The hairs on the back of my neck tense up slightly as I can almost hear the collective thoughts of everyone in the place saying, "Rookie!"

I smile and think, 'At least I didn't trip coming in.'

Sipping my (blue) Kool-Aid (gee, what a manly drink that is) I scan the room. I can hear several discussing the goods and bads of Marmite. Curious, I ask the bartender, "Do you have any of this Marmite they are talking about? I'd kinda like to find out for myself if its any good."

"You betcha, how much would you like?" he asked, then added, "And keep in mind, whatever you order you HAVE TO EAT!"

That Last little reminder (or was it a warning) kinda took the gumpshun out of my request. "I guess I best play safe, so give me the smallest portion you have." I say, confident at making a wise choice.

<< Thinking back, I only wish I had noticed the bartender glancing over towards GT and that the nod he got back was accompanied with a evil looking smirk. Sighs, if only my foresight was half as good as my hindsight. >>

Feeling pretty good about my selection of portion size, I turned to see the bartender retuning with a HUGE bowl containing what looked like very thick and very spoiled gravy. I gulped, "THAT's Marmite?" I half gasped, "And people actually EAT THAT STUFF?"

As I stood there thinking of what to do, I saw the bartender looking back towards GT, they were both having a good chuckle at my expense. "1000 minerals to anyone who will empty this bowl for me!!!"

A tiny man came over, climbed up on the stool next to me, picked up the bowl and emptied the contents on the bar room floor. "That'll be 1000 minerals please."

Sighs... I can hear it even louder now... "Rookie"

Marmite? I thought that was the symbiotic life form over my lip.
Is there another type?

OOOHHHHH, Dogscoff and 2 FBW's are covered in MARMITE, someone get some toast soldiers and a couple of boiled eggs quickly...

David Gervais, I hope you paid Tommy Cooper's estate appropriate copyright for that gag. Laugh? I did till the tears run down my legs.

Sheesh, after Friends, Frasier, Cheers, Sex and the City, Ren & Stimpy etc, can we please roll up our NEXT unfunny North American?

RD how about somemore Liz Hurly clones in bright red or black very tight, revealing, shiny outfit, like the one she wore in bedazzeled, oh ya... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mac watches mlmbd take the bomb over to GT, he smiles, one always puts one where one can find it, therefore, leaving the original still unfound he mutters.... tick... tick.... tick.... at least it hasn't tocked yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Mac continues to relax contemplating his research into a question asked in another thread, 'why did the chicken cross the street' hmmm, he begins to jot down notes as he contemplates another of life's universal mysteries....

He passes on the Marmite or whatever the conconction may be, orders another brewski as his mind wanders again back to a short time ago when he was Hippie Geezer thanks to TerranC, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Researching Mac

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good idea! Marmite has this strong and strange taste to it. If you're going to try it, just try it once. If you don't like it, don't let people trick you into eating it again. I don't care how thin you spread it on your bread, I still don't like it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hmmm, sounds like Sushi!! I tried it and don't like it. But my friends keep insisting that it tastes good and I should give it another try. Yuk! Sour Cream, Yougart, Sour kraut and Spinnach are also on my 'Yuk List' and yes I have tasted them all. Now on my 'Yum yum List' I have all veggies, (especially cooked cabbage, brussel sprouts and peas & carrots) all meat, (I love bologna!) most fruit (especially when cooked!) All pastas's and I must not forget My ultimate weakness..... Chips! (with the exception of those Tostitos, way too bland, and if a chip needs a dip then it's not a chip IMHO!)

Now you know too much about me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Cheers!

P.S. Did I mention I love gravy and KD? mmmmmmmm!

...Taz notices that Kaladaar has apparently dropped his Marmite order and quickly presses a
button on the high-tech bar control panel. The marmite along with various odd and ends begin to levitate off the floor. Guided by joystick control, this collection moves back into the bowl
in front of Kaladaar.

'There you go Kaladaar - and no extra charge for the odds and ends!',says Taz. 'But I will now have to charge you the new Rookie Tax.'

Moving farther down the bar, Taz collects the bomb parts that mlmbd left. Hmmm, this looks like that 'Space Bug' Bomb that me and Mac installed in the storeroom! Oh well, just have to watch out for those 'crawlly bits' in the food for a while...

Hmmm, is that barbarian viking a rookie too? On second thought he looks more slow than silly...

With a shrug, Taz gets back to work.

*Raging Deadstar slowly reverses his small transport into the doorway and opens the cargo bay, everyone gathers round and looks on. Firstly he rolls 5 barrels of Deadstar vodka for taz from his brewery. Taz smiles and goes off to "quality test" the new arrivals, then he wheels 2 large boxes in and goes about removing the ship from the entrance.*

*Walks other to mac with a crowbar, the old man slowly grips his custard firing missile launcher. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife and eat it. Raging Deadstar turns round and pulls open the large wooden crate. Suddenly a liz hurley clone in a very tight extremely revealing dress hops out sits on his knee. Macs eyes almost pop out and raging deadstar leans over and whispers to mac "Theres a free room upstairs" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Mac happily scampers off with the clone and RD sighs "lets hope the poor guys heart doesn't stop ticking!"*

GT, Your clones are happily waiting for you upstairs in a king size silk bed with massage oil, a course fur brush, Shepherd Neame ale and marmite and some ice cubes and after that a rose petal filled jacuzi. I'm sure that you'll brave the waters for that pleasure! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Anyone else after a clone for their pleasure, it's a 2000 mineral charge plus access to your tab for my own personal uses! If you ask me it's a good price

Now if you'll excuse me i'll be upstairs with Talena Atfield (from Kittie) Jytt Hyden (Pornorphans) and Otep Shamaya (Otep) with some drumsticks!

..I walk back into the Cantina holding a bunch of pics under my right arm. I move over to Primitive Grab him by the ankle with my left (weaker) arm. Primitive's world is turned upside down and my weaker arm barely manages to prevent his head from bouncing off the floor.. What the heck, My left arm is not really that weak, to prove this point I swing my arm in an up-down motion banging Primitive's head a few time off the floor making a point to educate him in the process... Primi! it's not nice to be rude..bonk!.. Didn't your mum ever tell you to be nice to strangers?.. Bonk!.. Your best friend was a stranger before you met him/her!.. BONK!.. You'r not making it easy for me to be your friend! BONK! .. But I'm a nice guy, I'll give you another chance.. Here take a look at these..

BTW: Conan the Barbarian is remarkably well mannered compared to you. Conan O'Brian on the other hand lacks that kind of finesse. Strange that you think you look like Conan the Barbarian but you're acting like Conan O'Brian.

FYI: I'm the kind of person who judges people by how they act, not how they look! ..and I give everyone a second chance along with the benifit of a doubt.

Have a Great Day, Primitive, Cheers!

P.S. I think the second to Last is a good likeness of you!
