Oh yeah? It's not as ugly as your mug...

You would be surprised, we have all sorts of nuts in here.

And what is wrong with my mug, I know its got a chip out of the handle but that just gives it character.

mmm
tucks into pistachios
shells go flying
don't worry about them... i brought my own dustpan and brush

You thin thats messy, you should see what happends when Skeleton is here.

i have been avoiding that
unfotunately, being a girl guide leader, I have this desire to clear up when other people are too messy.
this is not good for me

Someone pass me a drink, I'm a new bee.

And booze over here please - who is the barman? the service is shocking

|_| |_| |_| of gin please and a martini

Just a vodka for me please, I'm driving. c[]

*comes up from the cellar with a dusty bottle*
Someone seen the corkscrew?

*rummage behind the bar*
I give up, there are no disent wineglasses here
I'll use this for now.
Hi moobee new
-B-

One of vodke and a martini. Sorry we can't figure out an appropriate glass for them. Sorry about the service, I forgot to put up the self serve signs.

why not Y or .Y. or _Y_ or Y' for a wine glass ?

Its a shame we can't use underscored characters in the forums.

Could do, maybe... or
_U_ or _X_


-B-

They still don't look quite as good as the other drinkies.

Ah, but the contents taste just as good. I'll have another, if you don't mind, and a whisky chaser \o/ (it's got ice in it)

OK

*hands over and \o/, then pours for himself*

Cheers.

Can I join in the nearly dead nut argument? So what exactly IS a nut and what isn't. I looked up peanut in the dictionary and OK I get the legume bit (also defined as a pod of seeds of leguminous plant), so looked up almond, and that is a nutlike seed, so I looked up nut and was further confused... a fruit! a kernel! a pod containing hard seeds! a persons head! a crazy person! so I have a nut and I am a nut but a peanut or an almond aren't? This is nutty.

Have another , it'll all make more sence.

More drinkies lunacy...

Y or )( - red wine glass (or sherry schooner)

}{ - those frilly wine glasses with shaped glass stems and a 'lip' around the rim

][ - modern wine glasses, from Ikea and Habitat and that sort of place

>< or Y (font-dependent) - martini glass

c|/| - drinking a pint through a straw

c[ ] - full pint

c|--| - half-drunk pint (or short measure)

\o/ - on the rocks

- on the rocks with a straw (or stirrer)

or working on the sideways smiley principal martini )-| champagne

Naa, if you draw them sideways the drinks fall out.

I think Y will have to do as a normal wine glass. But I don't think its as good as the other ones.
