*lights a fire and puts the kettle on in order to greet the regulars with the first grog of the season*

this weather surely calls for something hot with something hot in it. maybe i should spice the rum with a bit of chili just to make sure

Something hot? I just heard the ice-cream van along the road - sun been shining all day!

However, wouldn't mind .... well you know what I like

sitting in front of the fire even though it's fairly warm

*serves and for the *

well, it is close to halloween isn't it?

guess you've missed Halloween - well done

sacrilege! we have all hallows on sunday - and there aint no such thing as all hallows eve here

On Sunday? Oh, I thought All Hallows was on the same night as Halloween, but H'ween came from US?

was never very up on Bob & religions

The Eve of All Hallows...Hallows even'...Hallow' e'en...
HALLOWEEN...!

QED

*pours a in celebration*

WR

WR - still doesn't answer the question: How come 's All Hallows is on Sunday?

feeling there is something more to this than meets the eye - even the inner eye - laps up some leaving it empty ... again ....

*Grabs mug of grog*
Yes - just don't confuse it with All Souls' Day.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints

All Saints' Day, All Hallows, Hallowmas ("hallows" meaning "saints," and "mas" meaning "Mass"), is a feast celebrated on November 1 or on the first Sunday after Pentecost in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.

So there you have it...either or!

*pours a with green liqueur and red cherries for decoration*

Bottoms up!

WR

for that!! So All Souls is 31st Oct & the rest .... as you just said

Think I've got it now

What about some of that concoction in my bowl? Pretty please - including the red cherries - lots of them

as far as i know pope bonifacius IV invented all saints because there were more saints than days

all souls was just for all the ordinary people

then came martin luther and changed a lot of stuff and...

oh what me worry

...*from the end of the bar Pan's voice is heard in a bit of a strain...*
Hey~! All that stuff about the Saints was very interesting. However,
speaking of interesting, how long are we 'sposed to stay bent over?

...*everyone looks confused at a bent over Pandora...*
The blood has all run to my head~!
Why is everyone looking at me like that? again?! I'm just doing as WR
said~! He-y-y howz come I'M the ONLY one with my "bottom up"?!

...*is pelted with empty ale mugs...*



Yo'~! Wrinkled Rocker~! ?That res and green stuff's making me think of Christmas~!

...*is pelted with empty ale mugs...*

woof

Now Shirps thinks she's a wolf.

Being of legal age ... now ... ... I do belive I'm going to get drunk.

Please help yourselves~!

Ooooo that one in the middle looks tempting~!

...*pulls her cell phone out from between her breasts...*Wha'? I don't enjoy putting cold things against my ear ...*dials: Bits-o-chicken.
I've no idea what I've ordered but the man convinced me to buy 42 tons of ... ... I "think" he said "bison wings" with a varity of sauces. Well, I 'spose if big ole' air planes can get off the ground ... what's so odd about a bison flying?
...*sets out block of cheese to go with all the WHINE from her attempts at humour...even spells like these guys to try to make um happy...*

It's cold and raining here again today ... yesterday we had thunder snow. I kinda' like thunder snow. 'Cept for the thunder ... and the snow.

bison wings?

finally a clever result of genetic engineering

Hmm, the next thing will be flippers - help them to swim

Well Pan you sound on top form - getting ready for the ***s season? Trying not to think about it over here - turkeys being slaughtered 'cos of disease. Got any suggestions for something to eat for ***s dinner?

stares bleakly at her empty bowl ....

*fills s bowl with crab meat*

You going to catch the crabs - using your new flippers?

I suppose you had to put the crabs into the bowl because the basin/bison's got wings.
