Puke reaches over the bar to where the Paladin's firearms have been stored, and snags one before Taz can disembowl him. aiming directly at his own temple, he squeezes the trigger. to Puke's disappointment, the only result is that a small flag pokes out of the muzzel, spins around and unfurls. the enscription reads "BANG"

sullenly, Puke returns the firearm to where he found it.

Geo thinks this is hysterically funny, having been a huge fan of warner brothers cartoons as a youngling. While Taz is busy scolding Puke, Geo reaches behind and grabs the gun Puke just replaced, or so he thinks.

Thinking to play a prank he stands up in the middle of the room and says, "Hey everybody, watch this!" and snickers at the great laugh to be had by all at the flag about to comically unfurl. Unfortunatly he grabbed the wrong gun and proceeds to blow off his own head.

He body drops to the floor in a heap. If it had a mind at this point, undoubtedly it would be thinking something along the mines of, "Oh bother. Not again!"

Excuse me mac,

Mac, slowly recovering after a night of hell, a T-storm came thru, knocked out his fuse box, fried 2 fuses so bad they melted to the guts of the box, luckly he had just hurriedly turned off and unplugged his computer just before, as l of the fuses was the line his "baby" (computer) was hooked to. Didn't get jury rigged until after midnight, had withdrawl syptoms all night after not being able to converse or play, made Mrs M miserable with his whining of not being able to use his comp before going to bed, and now an electrician coming out to fix with an outrages price of course, the infamous fuse box. Time to put in circuit box.. sigh, more expense... Besides Mrs M has been hounding him for years to put one in and he didn't, and she voiced her displeasure in a most wifely manner, now its time to pay the piper. Mac looks longingly at Paladins weapons, shakes his head, orders a stiff double of CC and ginger, sees poor Puke, orders him a Triple, sees Geo's headless body flopping around, orders a quadruple for Geo and has a FBW pour it down the opening on top by the spinal cord directly into his blood stream , orders a sassperella for Fyron who he sees working profusly at his computer, sighs, walks back to his table, slouches down in his seat and watches Dogscoff play around with his fishy adoring public, locates the meowing noise from the cornor where the Tigga is trying to download something on his computer but apparently not having succcess as he keeps pulling his fur out in frustration and spitting out tremendus size furballs... ah well, glad for the olde/new cantina, where one can relax with normal, everyday friends

a slowly recovering mac

tesco wonders what kind of bar he is at.

No longer a pub it seems.

Tesco will be staying on the patio were it is less 'blow and smash things up'.

And before Tesco leaves he introduces Geo to Arther Dent.

Tesco, this sort of slapstrick place is exactly what we find relaxing...

Growltigga and Dogscoff sit down to peruse a rather thich manual packed full of weapons specifications.

Fellow bashers,

I have returned from the torrid climes of the Gold Coast and have dutifully submitted my turn. Sorry for the delay.

<Trajan wanders into the bar, waving to Tesco on the way in, and sits down at comfy stool ordering a cold Bass Ale from Taz>

It has been a long work week (and it is only Wednesday). As the director of marketing for my company I am tasked with a corporate renaming project and I am getting the snot kicked out of me every time step into an office to discuss possible names. People are really nasty when their "pet" name isn't one of the ones being considered.

On the brite side, I am happy to report that there has been some real progress on the Newsletter project under development for this forum. Zenbudo has designed a terrific masthead which appropriately defines the name of the rag.

Anyhow....

Cheers! to everyone (with or without a head) in the bar.

Saxon disappears under a pile of cantina regulars who all jump on him to welcome him back

Good to see you back Saxon, glad to know you survived the Gold Coast, would you reccomend it as a suitable holiday destination?
