*tries to catch the smarties with an open mouth, succeeds with one, the rest hit various other parts of face*

Here, have some Nesquick on your icecream.
*offers box*

How about some Placebo?

Yummie! *takes Nesquik - but *

No more ice-cream!!! I'll be back in a second!

*runs out - and returns shortly after carrying to XXL boxes of Ben&Jerry's*

Couldn't get any strawberry I am afraid, but strawberry sauce and ...
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - ice-cream and
Pulp Addiction - ice-cream (combination of orange ice-cream and chocolate orange fugde ice-cream with orange liqueur taste)

Hope that's alright with you...

Some Placebo, yes please, fits perfectly to my mood now
*patiently waits for One-eye to put on the music*

Anything's fine by me, as long as it's icecream!
Liqeur, you say? *interested look*

Placebo it is then!
*puts on the "Without You I'm Nothing"-album*

"a friend in need's a friend indeed
a friend with weed is better
and when she's pressed she will undress
bla-bla-bla-bla-bla (Don't remember that line...)"

Don't you worry, just make something up, I won't tell anybody

Liqueur, indeed. I am never really sure whether Ben&Jerry's ice-cream is so good because of the names...
Anyway *takes an enormous spoonful of Pulp Addiction*

Yeah, but I'd know, and I hate to sing a song that I'm not sure of the lyrics too! I'm wierd like that...

*tastes the icecream with liqeur in it*
Pulp Addiction, was it? How much liqeur? What would be the alcohol-percantage? I s'pose it's not much to get drunk on... (Unless, of course, you don't decide to use Apfelkorn on top instead of strawberry sauce...)

*starts looking in the depths (lucky me I only have to write that word and not actually pronounce it) of her back-pack...and finally takes a bottle out*
Ah there it is, how about some ice-cream flambé?
Ever tried calvados? This French alcoholic whatever made out of apples?
Do you have a lighter? Yeah, you should, after all you work in a lab...

I'm not quite agreeing with you there... Working in a lab, at least this one (and the other one I worked at) one really shouldn't carry a lighter. Think of all the explosive vapours!!
But as it is, I _do_ have a lighter, coz I smoke...
btw, do you mind?

Nope, never tried calva-wazzhisname. Who's he? An alcoholic made of apples?
And icecream-flambè sounds excellent

So, where's the fun being in a lab without a lighter?
Well, I usually say, that I am an active passive smoker, that means I don't smoke myself but I like joining others going for a cigarette break, sometimes that's the only way to get any break after all
Well, Calvados is somethingorother brownish clear coloured alcohol (schnaps) made of apples that tastes very fine , not as hard as Apfelkorn but also not such a sweet liqueur thing...I'd say we just have go at it...
*pours Calvados (lots of it btw) over the ic-cream and waits for One-eye to light it...hums to the Placebo cd*

*takes out lighter, lights the ice-cream while leaning over the table in a dangerously-looking fashion*

*WOSH!*

Oh dear... Where'd my eyebrows go?

* first ...but then has to try very hard not to burst out laughing when she sees One-eyes facial expression*

Might have been a bit too much of that calvados?

Don't worry, you're beautiful anyway, sweetie! Men are supposed to look...erm...interesting, aren't they?

why, thank you Feffi, you ain't that bad yourself, y'know

It's allright, I'm used to people laughing at me...

*sigh* X-mas' coming around you can tell...

I would say being able to laugh about oneself is one of the most important characters one should try to achieve...

Definetely. Being stuck-up and self-centered never got anybody anywhere. And it got them nowhere in a lonely way!

Hey, why don't you try that Calvado(or something)-thing too...

Good idea!
*takes a spoonfull* hmmmmmm , delicious!

What music are we actually listening to?

I thought it was Placebo...?
But I know just right cd for today, it being Christmas soon and all...

*puts on an instrumental album of Christmas-hymns, the instrumentation consists solely of a church-organ and a saxophone. VERY beautifull music*

oh, this is VERY nice One-eye, especially as I anyway try to get in a Christmas mood (you know having no snow...)
*hums to the music*

My sentiments exactly! (No snow her either..., just a biting cold)

And what's the best cure against cold frome the outside? Right, ice-cream with alcoholic whatever from the inside...

(It must be very cold indeed in your place otherwise this ice-cream would have melted ages ago..)

No it wouldn't! This table is a !

So, icecream with alcohol is a good cure, eh? Better get to it then...

Oh, and if you're cold, I know ways to keep you warm...

Do you?
