Default Re: Phong\'s Head Bar & Grill

to try and really understand, I would suggest you read the cantina threads in the archives and see how it progresssed from the time it lst became operative, and how cartoon violence and various other things came about and how it was done. That would be the easiest way of trying to explain. We are only trying to help, so don't misunderstand, we want you to feel at home and to take part, just try and do it the way that has been established, From GT's red hot poker cannon to the toilet bowl worshippers in the inner sanctum to the tribble wings and killer mongooses, to Dogscoff's minions living below the cantina. like that which was mentioned before, try and be creative, funny, or start a story line. Or you can just talk with the members in the cantina, however you want, We just don't want it to turn into a spam or chittering chat like a lot of other forums. Thats what makes this place and members unique, we have fun and yet not at the expense of others, we welcome all who come and join. the cantina is for people to have some fun without having to resort to doing it in other threads which are addressing specific problems, ideas, OTs and whatever. So enjoy yourselves and welcome to the cantina.

Go back to page 34 or so (my favorite section) and start reading. Not only will it give you a good feel for the appropriate writing style... it's a hoot! and good reading!

Please find a way to adapt ... or ummm... go back to your Hut.

Thanks

Oh yeah, unless you're too young to remember it: It helps to think "Dungeons & Dragons"... the part where the DM explains the scene to you. Then just roll (role... get it?) with it.

Renegade returns from a long absence, just in time to see Mac spending his money....again! When, oh when will the wise one learn wisdom?

"I'm sorry I have to do this...I really am."

Reaching into the volumous layers of his cloak, Renegade pulls out a single killer mongoose and slowly puts it on the table in front of Mac. The mongoose slowly turns his head towards the suddenly pale Wise One. Red glints appeared in its eyes...

"Go get him boy!"

Turning away from the grunts and squeals, Renegade looks around for RD.

"Hey, mind tossing me something to drink?? Don't care what, just need to quench the thirst."

Mac, Douglas, Imperator and all the rest have got it right.

Strategia and NullAshton, you are welcome here, but you need to understand what the cantina is all about. It is hard to put it in precise words, and as the others have endorsed, I would take the time to read through the original cantina thread (which is posted in the classic forums) and this one.

The cantina originally developed from what was called the Gryphin and Growltigga thread. This was an attempt by Tesco Samoa to stop me and Grpyhin hijacking threads with our spurious style of US/English rivalries. It then developed into the cantina (the one in the classic threads), and developed again into the current thread, when the old cantina was destroyed and my business partner, Dogscoff, tried to take over Tigg-Scoff Industries PLC (which made its money selling carbonated urine to Americans as beer).

They are well worth the time to read. Hell, they make even make a humourous book at some point. If people will buy Harry Potter, they might buy anything?

Hey!! It's GT, look everyone it's GT.. Good to see you here again 'Sir'.

I now know why I'm glad to be Canadian and a non-beer drinker. Oh, and GT, you are not the first to make oogles of money by selling waste (aka byproduct) but I must say your 'beer-export' business sure explains alot.

Bartender,.. A bottle of Jack Daniels for my friend GT, and put it on Mac's tab. (we can't bee too carefull, since Taz is no longer behind the bar, they might be importing the beer from the States.)

Cheers!

RD's newly developed Bar-tender senses tingle. It's almost as if standing behind a large polished piece of oak for most of the day has beneficial effects. He quickly looks down the vast rack of drink before picking a selection. Ahh, to celebrate the new HGTTG film and the sheer ammount we had in stock...

A muffled voice can be heard from way down the bar as a glass slides at high speed back to Renegade.

"One..Pan Galactic Gargle Buster coming up!"

RD polishes the new sign above the bar.
"We don't serve Minbari under the age of Terminal Death."
