Well Last time i checked GT was the only laywer on the Boards, or at least the only one brave enough to make it public http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Middle names hmmm! Well mine are Frederick Thomas, after my dad, his grandad, his great grandad and god knows how many after that, thank god i didn't get called frederick!

Considering that dogscoff was table dancing maybe it isn't much of a shock that we don't get many females here, boy was Fte antke lucky that she left before seeing dogscoff in action lol

Strangely enough theres been no mention of "the device" recently, unless it's just a big plan to make everyone edgy by ticking all the time i thought we were supposed to be expecting the end of the cantina, i'm quite looking forward to what ideas GT, Gryphin and others have in store for us, the good *ahem*paying*cough* patrons of the cantina! Also Growltigga, if we supply our own waitress are they allowed to serve us, the prospect of getting served and having a nice chair massage off Talena Atfiled makes me feel....well i won't disclose that information http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

Hey, I discovered a great new game late Last night (albeit after a bottle of wine).

We have just had a laminate floor put down throughout the ground floor of Chateau Growltigga. The builders have just finished so the rooms are bare and very echo-y indeed. Cue me drunk sweeping up some of the sawdust. I find little Tigga's (one of my cats) favourite toy, a walnut she chases round the floor. The other cat joins in and hey ho, "Cat Hockey" is born.

I get one point is I can get the walnut passed the cats to the french windows, they get one point is they stop it. No aerial shots allowed, you gotta push toe walnut toward the goal with a broom...

after 45 minutes of intense play, I admitted defeat, the final score 71-50

I play a kind of similar game with my cockatoo parrot.

I guess it could be called 'parrot soccer'.

I roll up a newpaper page into a ball and try to flick it past him into a goal.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

Today I learned to pay more attention to my surroundings.

Went to the Gym for the regular Tusday Endurance (Bike/Spinning) session. Entered the room and I see a Cowboy hat besides the Instructors bike. Had I read the message board lately - no, did the hat make me wonder - nope, did I notice many of the regulars missing - not a chance, did I run screeming from the room - no way.
I just sit quietly down on my bike, minding my own business. Then the instructor comes inn, puts the hat on and says: Wellcome, today we have a special Country and Western theme. (We have these specal themes once in a while, but C&W http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif )

Its starts quietly with the Eagles Desperado as the first warmup tune, and then it gets progressively worse. 2 F..ing hours of pure hell. Any kind of concievable torture involving a banjo was put on that CD player. And even worse: during one song, two of the female arobics instructors (mighty fine looking tho) comes in and does a line-dance exibithion.

I will have nightmares about this for months to come.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
 

primitive hears the deplorable noise coming from the sound system.The gruefull Gryphin is standing next to the systems, howling out threats of the Cantina blowing up if the system is turned off. Since GT is not around to blow the horn, primitive takes it on himself to restore a proper audio-enviroment . He grips his rusty (yet pointy) spear and embeds it deep into in Gryphins body, at the place where most beeings dont let the sun shine (There will be a long time before the Gryphin ever can assume his famous position again). primitive then carries a screaming Gryphin outside like a lollipop and deposits him with Barry at the parkinglot for safekeeping.

primitive enters the now desertet Cantina. He goes over to the soundsystem and places his finger on the button.

- Is this the end of the Cantina as we know it ?
