*comes in through front door followed by Ook who is clutching a thick wad of bills in assorted currencies and three walnut shells*
Vlad was here and Ook and I missed him!
Who is Johnny Mathis anyway?
Bumblebee Posted Oct 25, 2000
*Plingplong*
IIEM, coffee!
*notices Ook sitting by a table idly pushing walnutshells back and forth*
Good morning Ook!
Ook: Ook!

Bumblebee Posted Oct 25, 2000
Morning JAR 
Yes, I saw a lady with an incredible big hat, so I just snuck up behind her and thus got cover from the rain!
I then had to whisper hypnotically in her ear to get her to go past my place. I hope she got home well 
And I have long suspected that doorbell to be a bit scizofrenic...

Glad to hear you handled that Lady With Incredibly Big Hat. I've heard she wanders around in rainy places to trick people to follow her home.... Who knows what goes on there....
Johnny Mathis sounds a bit like a sami cowboy. If those exists...

Bumblebee Posted Oct 25, 2000
Lol!
*Thinks about a Jonny Mathis straddling his snow-scooter*
I think there's a lot of them!
Say Ook, what are you doing?
Ook: Ook!
*Lifts one of the shells, reveling a small red bead.*
*Putting the shell down again, he shuffles the shells around and then points a claw at them.*
Where the bead is? Right there, of course!
*There's nothing under the shell B lifts up*
Oh. I was so sure....

Good morning Bee, JAR!
IIEM, caffe latte, please!
Bee, better decide beforehand how much you will bet - wouldn't want you to walk out of here penniless...
*interestedly watching game*

Bumblebee Posted Oct 25, 2000
Hi T.
How was your meet? Or is it today?
Sorry, I have to concentrate a bit here. Damnation, he is fast!
*Puts another 10 eZorkmids on the table.*

Sol Posted Oct 25, 2000
Hi guys. Hope the weather is better where you are today.
*notices Bumblebee being fleeced by Ook, but decides it is kinder not to comment*
IIEM - a coffee, please. White, one sugar.

Hi Sol!
Bee, it was the first time I've met h2g2 people RL - and it actually felt a lot like talking to them here in the café, just in a different manner (face to face, using speech instead of text). We even said 'see you tomorrow' when we left - here at the café, of course...
...and I noticed I hadn't made myself any picture of Freedom and One-eye, not the way you do when you talk to people on the phone, so I wasn't really surprised or disappointed, having an open mind, no pre-formed picture...

In here it doesn't matter how you look, unless we're having a costume-party
*Looks down at the black and orange fur-coat she's wearing every day, and the grumpy handbag.*
Maybe I 'll dress up for halloween...
Ook: Ook!
B: Oh well, thank you darling! But I'm not playing anymore!
Halloween party?
Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Oct 25, 2000
Speaking of Halloween - does anyone know if there will be a party at h2g2? Could be fun - but I've got too much to do currently to organise one myself...
IIEM, another caffe latte, please!
Halloween party?
Bumblebee Posted Oct 25, 2000
I would be very surprised if nobody makes some sort of party, somewhere!
I bet there... No. I'm not betting anymore.
And if all fails there is always a pub.
Maybe we could get dispention to serve strong drinks here.
The we could have the party here. There's a big room in the back that's been used for partys before.

Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Oct 25, 2000
Hmm, time to start thinking about how to dress...
Got to go now, bye all!

Halloween party?
Sol Posted Oct 25, 2000
Bye Titania.
IIEM - another coffee please. Black, with butterscotch syrup.
*sinks back in her seat with a comfortable sigh and starts mentally designing a suitably horrible halloween costume*
Halloween party?
Sol Posted Oct 25, 2000
*lowers gaze from the ceiling, wiggles neck from side to side, stands up and ambles out*
Halloween party?
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted Oct 25, 2000
There is a Halloween party at the Crossed Purposes pub, run by Kasia. Next time I post here, I'll bring back a URL.
I'm surprised that Johnny Mathis is unknown in Scandinavia. But it means that there is hope for the world!
IIEM, I'll have a Lazy Cat please.
