but I don't like ginger beer!
I like ginger ale!

*As if by magic the Barkeep appears*

Soz MH have a C|_/ of ginger ale on me.

Any other orders?

*door opens, figure shambles towards the bar, and plops down with a sigh*

*hands over a *

I don't know. But I'll happily have a

*a dead voice bellows from nowhere...*

I've been waiting for my coke without ice now for over 18 hours... I think it's time to scare everyone out of here... BOOOHOOOOOH!!!!
