Pops in
requests a from the IEEM
[BB]

*watches as IIEM serves Bald Bloke a *

Now, we need to be careful around here, because there are two reserachers with the same initials (BB) namely Bluebottle and Bald Bloke

Now, if you could all kindly refrain from placing any more orders until I've managed to figure out how to...

*another mumbled conversation between herself and IIEM follows*

Bumblebee would be just the cream on top of it.

Ah, but that's "Bbb" Hati 'ning all!

*after much fiddling around and much opening and closing of hatches both here and there, both the IIEM and Ti seem to be satisfied*

There - that ought to do it! Hopefully this will make the IIEM hum happily rather than mutter!

Uh, I'll have a decsf latte please IIEM!

IIEM: One decaf latte coming up sir...there you are!

IIEM...looks perfect...ooh, tastes great too!

*Comes in, chocolate jug, whipped cram and marshmallow thing is running entry and insists the IIEM machine fill it up again at once without any mummering. Whether it is through sensitivity, or whether the cleaning was really effective remains to be seen. Any way, a jug arrives. With extra whipped cream. Sol then plonks a large tub of Really Luxurious Ice Cream down on the counter and adds some spoons.*

I don't know about you lot, but I am in serious need of comfort food.

*steps back, puts the package of filters back into the cupboard where she found them*

Could we all just ignore the Smellfungus please?

IIEM, a c(_) of Rooibos tea, please

*sits down in a corner of the café and sips contentedly*

Sol, for me it's like a seasonal craving or something. It starts in October and lasts until April.

I don't know how much are you folks into horoscopes but see what mine said for Christmas: Your holiday celebrations wouldn't be much fun if there were no such thing as fungi. One member of the fungus family, yeast, is essential to brewing alcoholic beverages, baking pastries, and turning cocoa beans into chocolate. Another type of fungus is crucial to the growth of most Christmas trees. They grow well only because of the symbiotic relationship between their roots and certain mushrooms. Wrapping paper would of course also be scarce without the mushrooms' assistance. Now that you've heard these facts, Aquarius, I hope you'll decide to make the fungus your good luck charm in 2004.

So there...

*Returns her mug to the sink and leaves.*

See you nice folks around.

Titania, wouldn't it be better if we made no reference to it what-so-ever.


And now may I please demonstrate my total ignorance of this corner of hootoo. What does IIEM stand for?

*grins & nods in agreement* I know what you mean Hati...about the , although for me those're just the worst-most severe-months! Any to share...pleease!

*hands Jazz a shell*

IIEM = the Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine


Always wise is to check posting first of conversation any that might you wish to enter

The Smellfungus reference was for those of the regular visitors of the café who are not frequenting the Atelier

Ah Hati!

Hmm, Irv seems to have taken the description of the IIEM off the front page.

GreyDesk, the IIEM can make any drink you like, as long as it is non-alcoholic. Just walk up to it and ask, but be careful - it can take you very literally and I've heard it once produced a blue orangutan. Which explains why there is a blue orangutan over there completely trouncing Garius at scrabble. His name is Ook.
