If only it wasn't yellow, I wouldn't be so worried.
*goof passes out*

Did I win?

You win all the virtual pizza you can eat over at the atelier.

Yes, Babel, one's for you. I think it was only me, you and Loony as wanted green tea.

*steps round counter and drags Dr. Goof Lithium by his heels out onto the porch* He will be happier here.

Thanks Lil, I just had to drag him to a couch in the F&F
He should see a doctor for that condition of his! And I don't mean for him to just look in the mirror and pronounce himself ok!

*continues to read book of short stories. Watches Ook pondering over the backgammon board*

I thought that move would stump you.

*Sips coffee and returns to book. Chuckles over passage.*

Hey, it says here that the word 'Yeti' roughly translates as 'that thing over there'. You have to love the nature of the universe with things like that.

*Ook finally throws. A double six? Drat! 4 and 2? Watches moves with interest and plans a counter attack.*

I used to play backgammon on computer a lot, but I haven't been able to find a decent version for Win9x; the one I played dated back to Win 3.0 ...

*cleans IIEM and replaces filters, then makes sure it's set to autopilot* I'm away for the evening, everyone. See you tomorrow.

*heads out through woods trail*

Cheerio!

*looks back at game.*

So Ook... how are things at the Unseen University then?

*finishes green tea*
Well that's it for me too. See you later Wowbagger. You too Ook. Don't let him put you off your game with references to that 'other' orang-utan. Ok?
Ook:Ook! *bares teeth in a wide grin*
Right see you later then.
*heads off for the evening*

The man on the red-velvet-couch retires to his homely shack, the Parthenon.

*The man, next to the man who was previously on the red-velvet couch, initiated VPB and enjoys a fine cigar.*

ah, the life of a pauper

=" Anybody bored this lovely evening? I'm starting a type of Quote Archive at my place and need feedback and good times. Pop in and check it out. http://www.h2g2.com/U147989 "

Hi all!

IIEM, un café mélange, s'il vous plait!

*walks in through the door and feels like I'm getting stared at*
*goes to a table in the far corner to sit down*

Any chance of an orange juice around here?.

*gets slapped and called impatient by a waitress*

Ouch!

Hi RW!

You could try the IIEM (Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine), it usually manages to supply any non-alcoholic beverage you're asking for...*pointing* - over there...

Thanks for that!
*gets non-alcoholic drink and sips away*
Ahhhh, that was good. I'll be back again my lovely people so don't fret.
For now though, I bid you a very goodday!.
RedWills

*comes in back door*

Hello Redwills! This place doesn't have a waitress -- you spoke to that life-like statue over there. She won't serve you. Do speak to the IIEM as Titania suggested, and you'll get whatever you ask for, as long as it's non-alcoholic.

*makes sure today's papers are laid out and that there are fresh donuts on the compote*

Can't stay, I'm afraid -- I'm working. Back later.

*comes in front door*

IIEM, better make it soothing...something herbal with distilled water. Thanks.

*takes tisane to table by open window on forest side*

*walks in...*

My, its been a while.



IIEM, an Andromeda Strain, please.

*takes c(~) & goes to sit in the corner*

Hi everyone

IIEM, I'd like an iced apple and cinnamon drink, please.

*takes drink & goes to sit by Andromeda in the corner *
