<p>welcome!! We have been waiting for a bookie!</p>
<p>Let’s see, I could lay odds on various aspects of getting freshmen off to college: the likelihood of parental lump in the throat…cranky behavior from the kid…forgotten items at home. Or maybe college football odds? That would be thematically appropriate.</p>
<p>bookiemom, we’re all out of virtual cuervo for your straw marg, will the real thing do?</p>
<p>As long as the calories are virtual, the cuervo and strawberries may be real. And on the rocks, please. The blended variety is just too, too chill.</p>
<p><strong>lol</strong> luv the new magnets!! Maybe we could start a collection in the alley.</p>
<p>Tie a squeegee to my a** and call me a Swiffer! 
As long as I’m down here on the floor, I might as well make myself useful and clean up the, uh…what in God’s name is that?!! :eek: Oh, wait a sec…might be my cousin from Boring, Oregon. He usually hangs out in the Knot So Boring Pub, but I invited him here for one of Curm’s magical concoctions. </p>
<p>Sybbie, I shall defend your seat with all of my slugg powers. I’ll slime whoever tries to take your place! ;)</p>
<p>Bookiemom, welcome to Sinner’s Alley. Belly up to the bar or slide into one of the booths. You’ll find a nice bunch in here. Grab your straw marg and put your favorite song on the juke box. TGIF!</p>
<p>Crash is recouperating in a hot tub, somewhere. Can’t wait to hear the trip report.</p>
<p>Crash is recuperating in a hot tub somewhere, along with a towel boy named Fabian… ;)</p>
<p>A towel boy named Fabian??? She’s such a barfly</p>
<p>Slugg,</p>
<p>I can’t believe that Crash went off to have all this fun and not put us down on it. This the last time we take up a collection to bail her out:rolleyes:</p>
<p>Someone PM crash, I can’t stand the suspense.</p>
<p>Meanwhile it’s 11:30 on the west coast, I’ll go for a bloody mary.</p>
<p>[Crashing through the saloon’s swinging doors, frantically waving a magazine]
Slugg, ya gotta read this issue of AIR; focuses on snaill research!!! Start with this, one of the best AIR pieces in the past few issues
<a href=“http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume11/v11i4/sluggish-data-11-4.pdf[/url]”>http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume11/v11i4/sluggish-data-11-4.pdf</a></p>
<p>Oh my gosh. Even the title “Sluggish Data” indicates this was written for Sluggbugg to read. 
Love the picture too. </p>
<p>Hesitate to ask, but does this joint serve complimentary snacks?</p>
<p>Sounds like these seaslugs are smarter and faster than clams. Edible are just looks good on the bistro bar tab?</p>
<p>(Aldehydes (found in beer) are death to slugs) stick to the Monarch stuff.</p>
<p>carolyn, But of course-- every good bar gives you chicken wings, tortilla chips, veggies & dip, swedish meatballs or <em>something</em> during happy hour. (In college, you would not believe how many dinners I ate for the price of one white wine spritzer!) And that’s not to mention the peanuts & pretzels…</p>
<p>BTW I think I may have just the drink for your house:</p>
<p>-1 oz vodka
-1 oz kahlua
-1/2 C milk
-1/2 C vanilla ice cream
-1 small slice birthday cake.</p>
<p>Blend! ;)</p>
<p>We had a whole phase in this thread on what we ate here. For some reason I think Twizzlers? Weird Southern food? I cannot remember and I’ve already read this whole thing again one day when I needed a laugh.</p>
<p>Just gonna go get a taco and have a beer with a lime. Some days the simple things are what you need.</p>
<p>I thought about inhaling a bag of pretzel logs tonight, but I should probably have some fruits or vegetables at least once today, huh.</p>
<p>I could have a fruit margarita of some kind and count that, I suppose?</p>
<p>DadofSam:</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. I think this is the vehicle that conveyed my S’s AP scores from NJ to MA. ;)</p>
<p>Mootmom, margaritas and coladas are part of the new USDA food model. I’m fairly sure of it. Olives and those little bitty onions are definitely in the vegetable group. Unfortunately but accurately,tequila is still a class 3 narcotic. Stirring with a double swizzle stick or a tiny plastic sword may qualify as exercize under the new guidelines so mosey on in and pull up a barstool at our new HealthBAR here at Sinner’s Alley.</p>
<p>Lol!^^^^^^^</p>
<p>LOL, dadofsam!! </p>
<p>The only problem with using snails for data transport is that they keep stopping at the beer, and we never get our data!</p>
<p>Ready, steady, escargot –>Tape a shot glass to my rear and point me toward a bottle of Cabo Wabo!</p>
<p>Curmie, tequila = Vitamin T :)</p>
