Default Re: Phong\'s Head Bar & Grill

**Seeing their ingenious plan foiled, the decimated dust bunny army beat a hasty retreat to their home base, to nurse their wounds and plot horrible revenge.

Meanwhile, Renegade heaves his swollen, distended body from the corner, and quickly squeezes himself even further into the darkness. In that very same darkness, Renegade's newest, fiercest weapon is prepared to be released. The hops and barley, though decimated, are still a formidable enemy, but this new weapon should even the odds.

A low, familiar sound resounds through the cantina. As the first voice is heard, others join in, raising to a crescendo of sound that threatens to shake the rafters from the Cantina. Then the first shapes emerge from the darkness, and laughter erupts in the Cantina. The miniature cows march out in their dozens, to join battle against the hops and barley, which just happen to be very tasty to the mini cows.

The battle raged over the floor of the Cantina, with hops stabbing their flaming toothpicks into mini cows, and the miniature cows eating the barley and hops in return. In the end, the hops and barley were annihilated, with the last individuals being consumed after attempting to run for their lives.

Renegade orders the 6 inch cows to march towards the home base of the hops and barley, to attack their heinous master.**

RD peers over his bar, now dressed in typical western waistcoat and bartender ensemble, at the marching army of 6 foot cows.

Does that apply to my cat heard? I've got ten thousand head of tabby that have to be over the ridge by the end of the month!

No problem barkeep, but since they're 6 inch cows, they shouldn't leave much more mess than a cat. Just think, free fertilizer!

I've been debating for the last day or so whether to post this link or not. I at least find the game very interesting, Just watch out for the break dancing rapper bear with the gun . It's called "Dad and Me" and consists of beating up other kids in the playground.

Awww...ok, I guess that's fair. As long as it doesn't involve hornets

I got stung yesterday afternoon, and now my right eye is swollen shut and the entire right side of my face is a mass of swollen tissue. My face looks like a [censored] blimp!

A dusty, slightly dishevelled-looking figure enters the Cantina, his lurching gait sufficiently unthreatening to prevent hops, barley, six-inch-cows and tabby cats from charging him. He stops two feet from the doorway, sureveying the ravaged battlefield and the fallen bodies of the barley, who sacrificed themselves, the hops, who were eaten en masse by the cows, the dust bunnies, who were flambéed down, and the cows, who simply fell down after having too much to eat.

"My my..... Some things never change....." the figure mumbles. Though soft, the sound of his voice is still recognized by a few patrons sitting nearby, who slowly turn their heads around to look at the new arrival. The figure moves to one of the empty tables, walking more upright than at first.

Before sitting down, he brushes some dust off his long coat. As he sits down, the billowing coat reveals a brief flash of military attire, clearly outdated by today's standards, but quite imposing nonetheless.

A pair of glowing green slits slowly emerge from the deepest darkness of the farthest corner of the Cantina, and Renegade can barely be made out, standing at the edge of the light, squinting suspiciously at the new arrival, who is looking at the floor, ordering a glass of mineral water. A low growl emerges from Renegade's gorge, rising in strength until it can be heard by the frightened patrons sitting nearby.


"Well go and see if that is who I think it is!" Renegade growls at the nearest cow. Reluctantly, the peacefully masticating animal gets up and lazily walks in the general direction of the unknown visitor. Upon arrival, the cow looks up inquiringly.

The visitor slowly turns his head and looks the cow straight in the eyes, which turn wide. A moment later, the cow collapses on the spot as a result of a fatal heart attack. Raging Deadstar's small retrieval-drones immediately skitter out from under the bar and take the cow to the kitchen.


"Yes..... some things indeed never change....." the figure spoke, and stood up.

Everybody in the Cantina froze.

"Yep the central heating around herea does need some repair work, hit by a rouge cow I suspect." El Phil speaks up from the corner of the bar. "Somebody chuck something on the fire, it'd freeze the nuts of a brass monkey around here."

A FBW delicately places an EEE on the fire and runs off a pace. The EEE slowly starts to shake before combusting in a stunning special effect, filling the entire cantina with an intense blue light.

[i]The light fades and the cantina has warmed up nicely.[i]

Everyobdy in the Cantina defrosted.
