I'm kinda a banana-watermelon weird flavor. Spelled without the u.

::opens the paper::

What does this say!??

"Dogs march over Rain" in Japanese!??

wait...

::turns it over::

OH...

"Liberal dust rabbits"

Ummm....

What? Oh, I gave you the wrong piece of paper. That must be last week's shopping list ..
Here's the one I meant to give you ...
*Hands over another piece ...*

OH!!! ok!!!

::unfolds the paper::

::reads::

Eggs
Butter
Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Deodorant
Milk
Toothpaste...

*Whispers to her*

On the other side, Dragonfly ... turn the paper over ... there .. the bit about your ...No! Don't read it out loud! You want everyone to hear it?

::gasps:: Oh my goodness!!!

::blushes and hides her face behind the itty bitty piece of paper::

::whispers:: Certainly don't want Zeus to know...

*Leans close to D and ........... whispers*
Better hide the paper somewhere safe ... but where?
*looks up in case a thunderbolt is on its way ...*

::eats the paper::

MMM..... soy-based ink!!! My favorite!!!

Well done Dragonfly! Brilliant idea!
*Gives her a spontaneous kiss on the forehead*

Er, ... Dragonfly ... you don't happen to remember what was on the shopping list on the other side, do you? I haven't been to the shops yet ...

*Wakes up from a weel-long doze beneath a week-old copy of The Times*
My goodness, the place has livened up again.
*Smacks lips thirstily*
I think I'll forgo the Manhattan this time, and have a pint of Guinness please St D. There are some times when only a Guinness will do, and I haven't been getting enough iron lately either.

::laughs:: Oh dear, Gosh... you really don't want a very inexperienced bartendress trying to get you anything to drink....

::lets Kes serve, but watches closely::

There you are, darling!!!

I think the list had Egg
Butter
Milk
Toilet Bowl Cleaner
and Toothpaste...

Hmmm, I'm confused (the normal state of things these days). When I first came in here, Wings was the bartender. Then it was Scottie23, and could have sworn I saw you getting a drink for Kes as I was waking up. So if you're not the bartender, and neither is Kes, and neither am I, we must have been locked in overnight.
*Contemplates that for a moment*
I think we all just died and went to heaven Well, if anyone wants a Guinness with a shamrock drawn in the head, I learned how to do that during my 6 month stint as a barman, and I mix a good Bloody Mary if you like em hot

I fail as a bartendress because I myself don't drink...

But I appreciate the offer... you think you can make a pretty shamrock in the head of a frothy chocolate milk!??

Once you know the technique, you can apply it to any drink that has a frothy enough and thick enough head on it. I'll give it a bash. First, we'll need something to pour the chocolate milk from.... *spies a cocktail shaker*. Ah, that'll do. Now, if you pour the milk from it in a steady stream... that's perfect *with a deft movement of hand and glass, and a flick of the wrist, produces a perfect shamrock in St. D's choccy milk* Top o' the morning to you Saint Dragonfly

Nice one G! Could you top up my drink while you're there ... as indeed, we appear to be locked in ... oh! what a tragedy!

Glad too.... umm, what was it again? I'm still a little non-compos from that week-long snooze y'know Oh, excuse me.

I don't know about Kes, but I'll have a and Scottie will have a


Oh no, hang on, I'M the barmaid!

As am I!

*pours Wings a and 2 s for herself and Goshoogoshoogosh*

Now I'm *really* confused. I think I need a to follow my . I'd like a Martini made with your finest rubbing alcohol please

I am guessing that the shamrock deal involves hearts...
