*grabs a bottle of scotch from behind the bar*

Fancy a ??

Oh, I'm going on holidays...I had things planned...but the plans fell through.

So I imagine I'll be sleeping in and reading

Ah thank you, that'd be very nice.

Ah well, enjoy your holiday! ... and I expect a 1500 word synopsis of the books you read, when you get back! lol.

*sets up a few s, passing one to Foesmasher*

Oh, I imagine it will be a stack of fun...doing my taxes, the laundry, cleaning.

The only "fun" things I have planned are going out with my brother Wednesday night...and spending Friday with the boy...and watching telly and getting wrecked with my sister...

...hmmm...there *are* worse ways to spend a week off

Truetrue. Thanks for the !

Not a problem !

I always wanted to own a bar...but unfortunately I think I lack the people skills to make a go of it...

Really? I never would have guessed. You seem lovely enough to me.

well shucks, thanks for that

I like to think I'm a nice person...and the people who know me well tend to love me (there's always a few exceptions though )

But I've not the skills to commend myself to strangers. I mean, I know I'm alright...but I know enough of the world to know that not everyone will agree with me

Will you look at the time ??

I hate to love you and leave you, but it's hometime for little Goatpunchers!!





*Goatpuncher exits the lounge, heaidng back to shore*

Sleep well, mate.

(Isn't it about time you got a cabin onboard, so you don't have to run away each night?)

*wanders back into the lounge to grab a quick *

(I do have a cabin...but I get seasick if I sleep after drinking )

String up a hammock! The sea and the cancel each other out, that way!

Or at least, it works for me.

*comes in*
hey foesmasher!
good to see you agian so soon.
you know i thought you only cam on on thursdays and sundays(my time)...but maybe it was better for me, and my homework, thinking that...

My time, I'm here mondays and fridays, definite (until the end of the semester), and the occasional wednesday. I'm here today because I intended to work on an assignment, but hootoo is a black hole and it's dragging meeeeeeee!

ahh... i see...

hootoo's a balck hole i love to be dragged into...
i'm glad you're here... sorry you're not getting much done though...
*looks worried*
its not my fault is it?

No, it's /my/ fault.

oh, ok then

so did we ever finish builing that table thingy?

...or more accurately did you ever fnish building it while i kept you company and watched?

Oh yeah!
Sorry, I'm easily distracted.

It's almost finished, I just have to glue all these little squares of wood *points* onto the top of the table in the right places... and then we can have our first game!

no problem.

oh cool!!!
our first game!!!

you'll have to teach me though... i'm hopeless at instructions... i never read them.... i guess i'm like a guy in that respect.. i hate directions!

*sits and watches, and does the important job of keepomg jerms company while he finishes building it*

Okay we're done!

It's ready to play!
