Drinks are free, so come on in and say hello. Stop in and pass the time of day - introduce yourselves (yes, yes, I know you prolly already know each other but I'm a stranger round these parts) - crack a joke or two, whatever.
I'm C J......I'm reliably informed that I'm female. 34, live in UK, travelled a bit (worked in Hong Kong and Australia), hobbies include fixing up an old Land Rover, getting drunk and falling over.

Meet Misu, the bouncer - he'll sort out any trouble. Yes, I know he's a cat.....but he's vicious and not to be tangled with.
*throws Misu a jalapeno pepper to chew on*
Can I get you a drink, Aimless? What would you like?
*C J mixes up a Cosmopolitam for Ned*
Vodka, cranberry, lime and Cointreau, n'est ce pas?
Haven't had a chance to get the stir-sticks printed up with the bar's name yet. Sorry.
I've been half-lurking for a few weeks, but thought I'd jump on in - the water looks lovely and I can't see many sharks.
How's Orange County today? UK has been lovely - lots of sun, traffic jams etc, plus the start of Wimbledon.
It's hard to get anything done at all, what with daytime telly showing tennis, all these ILE threads to read and guffaw at, and....errr....what's that other thing?....oh yes.... work. I remember.

― erik, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
"Mang" means "Man". The ending 'g' is there for comedic emphasis. People have found this to be so amusing that it's been extended to other words ending with '-an'. So, if you see references to "Dang", someone is likely talking about me.
Okay, who wants to explain "Ptee/Ktee"?
I didn't realise I would have to learn a whole new language to understand what's going on here.
I speak a bit of French, German, Spanish and Cantonese.......but I'm lost when it somes to ILE-speak. Maybe I'll just stay very quietly in the corner and hope I don't make a fool of myself.
*passes a Dr Pepper (smirk) to Erik*
Cheers!
Hey Graham, what was that symbol you put in the Bangbus thread, the one that looks like a little package of felt tip markers? Christine "Leafy Dragon" used it too, what does it mean?
Could I have a Bloody Mary with extra celery, CJ? Thanks. I call the hammock.

― Chupa-Cabras, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
*mixes a very very strong Bloody Mary for Arthur*
Careful in the hammock - nothing too acrobatic now - I don't want to have to extract that celery from any orifice. I only have basic first aid knowledge.
Hello Tracer - you don't need to DJ, as the juke box here has every record known to man on it. Grab a barstool and come and chill out instead.
*C J plonks herself down on a barstool, and starts swivelling round very fast on it, just for fun*
Well, it must be going-home-from-work-time for those of you in the States, no? Gone 11pm here, and I'm starting to fade. It's been a long day.
Maybe one for the road, though.
Not old enough, eh lad?
It's OK. It's all make-believe in here. Just don't tell them it was me who served you, OK?
I have my reputation to protect, you understand.
Are you in the UK too?
You won't need to trouble your manservant too much Anthony - Misu (the bar cat) is trained to serve drinks (though he prefers not to go near the jacuzzi, for obvious feline water-hating reasons.
I'd love to sit about and be entertained by some of your ribald stories - I may even come up with an anecdote or two of my own - 'cept it's nearly midnight and I'm a bit cream-crackered so I'll have to leave it for now. *yawns and rubs eyes*. It's been a long day.
*tosses the keys to the bar to Misu*
Hey Misu - keep these good people topped up with drinks and snacks for as long as they want, OK? And be sure to wash up afterwards - I want the bar looking tidy for tomorrow, in case anyone feels like popping back in for a chat again.
*Misu thows a menacing look at C J, and rolls his eyes*
Damn cat. You'd think he owns the place.
Nice to say hello to you guys and gals - hope to catch up with you again tomorrow. The bar will be open all night - and we do a great breakfast starting at 8 o'clock.
*stumbles sleepily upstairs for some shut-eye*
Night night all.........

Looks like there was quite a party here after hours last night - sorry I missed it! I hate it when worky worky encroaches on web-time like that.
So, Duane - an interweb crepe are you? Pleased to meet you (I think). We have chocolate sauce here in abundance, plus strawberry syrup, maple syrup and those little hundreds-and-thousands sugar sprinkles. Feel free to help yourself. Are you a well-tossed crepe? Just wondering.
And Michael - hello.......sorry, no crack cocaine (not my thang, etc) and to be honest I think Le Piat d'Or is a bit dodgy too. Try a sip of this Côtes de Beaune.......I think you'll be subtly amused by it.
A Pina Colada for you, QueenoftheHarpies? No problem......
*C J shreds a couple of fresh pineapples through the juicing machine, and the bar suddenly smells tropical and exotic, and redolent of a Caribbean beach*
*sigh*
Wish it was holiday time.
Ah well, back to work. I'll just have a coffee to get me kick- started this morning.

Don't worry about Geoff - Misu The Vicious Bar Cat will keep him in line.
C J : Misu, keep an eye on Geoff......I'm told he's a trouble-maker Misu : Oh, right (smiles slyly and decides to make friends with Geoff and secretly wreak havoc)
What can I get you for breakfast Anthony? The Full English? (the delicious smell of grilled bacon, fried eggs, sausages, mushrooms and hash browns wafts though the bar)........or just a croissant and some of my home made strawberry jam? Help yourself to coffee, btw.
Hello Ktee! *hands over a large tumbler of freshly-squeezed orange juice and a couple of Paracetamol to help the hangover*
I'm still getting over my weekend hangover - went to a brilliant birthday party involving a cool rock-covers band, rather too much wine and a bouncy castle. I'd tell you more about it, but my memory is rather patchy, especially regarding the events after 2am. I expect someone will have photos though. Unfortunately.
What on earth was going on in here last night?

Hello all ....... I'd love to stay and chat but I'me a bit snowed under. Worky worky etc. Help yourselves to a drink - Misu will clear up after you - and I'll be popping in later to see who's about.
Have a good Tuesday!
I brought ar snacks though. Deep fried whitebait, parmesan cheese, tortilla and capers.
― Ed, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
I thought it would be a good way to get to know you all ..... I'm v. glad you're all willing to play along! I hardly feel like a newbie at all now.
*passes a plate of hot buttered toast around to those still wanting breakfast*
Alan - what's IRC and MUD? is IRC a chat thingy (in which case, no - I don't tend to do that). I thought MUD was a 70s Glam Rock band?
*starts singing Tiger Feet, badly, and out of tune*
slips a few quid in the jukebox and lines up some Mingus and Coltrane for the next few tunes, bah bah bing boom bah.
*Alang sits down and sings about gold*
Also the making of virtual hangouts is VERY MUD-y. thanks for the bar, it's nice. lots of weird stuff hanging from the ceiling, a GIANT CAT bouncer, (well maybe not that giant), a toaster. ace.
― MarkH, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
Anthony! Do you really have a monkey? Is it perchance a Barro Colorado Howler Monkey? *hands over a bucket of fruit and leaves for Monkey*
Or is it more of a Johnny Vegas-type stuffed Monkey?
Either way, he's cute. Make sure he stays away from Misu though, as I think he's feeling a bit randy this morning.
Jeskam - Hi! Are you from Aus? I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years, and travelled about a bit before heading off to the Far East. Had a great time.
I do go to one particular Chat Room, Alan - but it has recently become overrun by bored spotty adolescents (apologies to any bored spotty adolescents who may be on ILE). That's prolly where I got the *action* stuff from.
Sheesh! I really DO need to go to work. BBL
I love that shove-off-the-cliff it gives me when I spread it too thickly

What? Oh, I’m in the UK too: Leith, to be exact. I am the person who discovered the Ask A Drunk forum and kicked it into its present state of corrupt feverish life, so well exemplified by Aimless. That is my only claim to fame in – hang on, let me count how many years it is – cor, I’m even older than Momus! On the other hand I’m less talented, so you see how nature balances itself.

*holds hand out for Misu to smell. He sniffs it, and finding no scent of another cat, rubs up against it*
As long as you're up, Misu, I'd love a croissant, and do you have any Nutella? In the meantime, I'm in Washington, DC, and I work as an editor (this week I'm working on medical stuff). I'll probably return for a drink this evening; it's hard enough to keep the subscripts and superscripts straight when I'm sober.

Here's your orange juice Ned - did you finish reading The Bell Jar last night? I've not read that particular Plath, so maybe I could borrow it after you?
I'm actually reading something nice and lightweight today - due to work stress cannot cope with anything that I need to think about - so I've just started Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Excellent book, very funny. Less than 300 pages so should have finished it by tonight.
Here you are Chris - a double Belvedere on the rocks with a lemon wedge. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Good morning Julia - here's a nice warm croissant and Nutella for you. *refills coffee cup too*.
A pint of Orkney Dark Island for you Rex....... I had to travel to the Orkneys specially to get that, but nothing's too much trouble in this bar. I don't mind at all if you suck the sawdust, just be careful because Misu's still being house-trained, and I really wouldn't be able to vouch for the content of the damp patches on the floor. Enjoy!
Gin Fizz for Pete .........Blue Blazer for Ed ........*huge* glass of chilled Chablis for Matt ....... and a pint of London Pride for MarkH.
*C J waves at MarkH, her Oxfordshire neighbour*
Did anybody entertain Anthony's monkey? I might give Misu a bath in the jacuzzi later - that's usually quite entertaining. Especially when trying to remove Misu from my scalp.
I doubt I shall get much done on the computer this afternoon now - ILE is too damned distracting.
Nice to see you all (again)
- who really can't believe that she actually wrote down all those drinks orders like a real waitress, to make sure she didn't miss anyone out......lol! -
I would like to nominate Sedaris as Comic Genius of the Week, please.
Thank you
can you tell anthony's monkey if he shits one more time in the jacuzzi I am putting his photo on the FBI terrorist list, and that means no more monkey fellatio

Yep, Misu's a vicious little mouser. He has no regard for life (human or otherwise) at all in fact and will, without any hesitation or remorse, tear eyeballs out and/or remove all the skin from a person's body upon my command.
He seems to have dealt with the appendage which was wedged in the pool table quite nicely, don't you think? Shame it looks like something which people cook for dinner now. Ah well.

Just a lemonade DG? Are you sure? I'm glad one of us is staying sober. There are a lot of very squiffy people in here and I'm afraid it's all going to go a bit downhill soon. I hope it doesn't degenerate into one of those riotous evenings where we all lurch about singing "Barnacle Bill The Sailor" and other such tasteful rugby songs!
*hands a sambuca to Chris* A Boilermaker too, eh? Beer and whisky sounds a lethal concoction, but here goes .........
C J helps herself to a glass of white wine, kicks off her shoes, and finally starts to unwind after a dismal day at work.

Lantau eh? How long ago were you there. I have very fond memories of the Frog & Toad (though this is sadly no more now) and joining in the Mud Olympigs there (all for chariddy, mate).
I was in Kowloon Tong (miles from anywhere) to start with, but was lucky enough to move to the island to a smashing flat in Old Peak Road, complete with swimming pool. Oh, happy days!
Is it true that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder?
― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
It's lucky I live in Oxfordshire, as I am well-placed to go and investigated that Badger wine later today. Do the RSPCA know about this?
Barnacle Bill The Sailor is a bawdy rugby song, which I am far-too- much-of-a-lady to sing for you know (mostly because it is 6am and I am sober).
Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Cried the Fair Young Maiden................
Did you find yourself a handsome man? I have one here, but he's spoken-for I'm afraid.
(sorry if you've been waiting rather a long time for this - I blame it on British Summer Time, continental drift and the angle of dangle)
If you fancy unwinding after work Julia, take your Margarita and toddle along to the jacuzzi room - I think I just saw the New Zealand rugby team headed that way.
Would patrons kindly refrain from Throwing Muses until I have sorted out the paperwork regarding the Muse Throwing Licence?
I thank you
For my drink I would like a singapore sling with about ten or eleven cherries in it.
For the love of all things holy, don't let me drink too much. If my cheeks start to get pink, please would you call me a cab and send me home?

That monkey shite and rugby sauna malarkey was for Anthony's leaving do.
I hardly know him, but I'm missing him already.
I'm sorry that Misu greeted you so enthusiastically - I'm working on his social skills, but he's still a bit too keen I'm afraid. Next time, perhaps you shouldn't bend over quite so far? It seems to encourage him. Still, it was thoughtful of you to lubricate the pool table pockets so thoroughly.
There's a First Aid Room over there - next to the Siesta Room, see? - and I'm sure that Dr Love and his medical team will be happy to look at your mangled bits. They have a magnifying glass and tweezers, I understand. :)
Can you be ready for, say, 8 o'clock?
Would you like a drink now you're here?

Say, CJ, is Misu allowed to eat people food? He's crouched in front of my plate, looking at me as if he expects me to share this bacon. I don't mind; there's still plenty in the chafing dish, but I wanted to check before I gave him some.

I'll have a beer, thank you. The picnic was a work do, for my division, formerly known as MISU (really: Management Information Systems Unit - is that what your cat's name is short for?), now MSD (Management Systems Division). A pleasant time, though it was a bit cool for it, really.

Note to others. No more drinks will be served here, because it's been destroyed in a complicated arson scam, I mean by a cat smoking in bed - try the new one.

It is a smoking bar Michael, but only because it's virtual. Real smoke makes my eyes water, and is probably not very good for my asthma.
I think I'll join you in a Margarita or three, Ned. I'm too scared to go into the other bar with all that fighting going on.

ask any canadian about it and they'll tell you how wicked they are. dunno if the yanks are big on them or not. the traditional way of having a caesar is like a bloody mary: with dashes of worcestershire & tabasco, rimmed with celery salt, and a celery stick and slice of lime. fancy-pants people like me prefer the fresh horseradish, which is WICKED. oh god it's too early in the morning but i actually want one right now. if we ever have our picinc/tennisFAP i'll make some caesars...

No I hate dogs and no I speak only English and French and a smidgen of German. I just slammed two random words together back in '99 when I was posting on the Warp Records message boards and it stuck. I believe early 90s baggy band The Soup Dragons did something similar only to find out that Soup Dragon was the name of a character out of childrens TV series The Clangers. Similarly, about two or three years after picking 'Dog Latin' I found out that it did mean something i.e. joke or made up Latin as in "Biggus Dickus" etc.

Mmm. You know, I have always been amused by some ornery folx's idea that ILX is somehow "immune to" or "better than" the "rest of the internet" as Ronan put it. As if there is this huge mass of "rest of internet" thats like, totally dumbfuck stupid.
I'm particularly amused by this, because it implies things like "things here were better once upon a time" when alls I have to do is read back a couple years and see marcello/doomie/kate/momus/calum/b*ckyl*cas all screeching and swearing and throwing shit, and somehow thats supposed to have been better and more thoughtful than now.

My name is Pingu. They tell me I was born 22 years ago in a very, very small town. I've been lurking for a few weeks or something like that, I even posted some stuff on the football threads. I live in Moscow, Russia. I usually read ILE in the morning with my coffee (coffee - very strong, with just a little bit of milk). I'm thinking 'bout joining your little club and getting drunk at the bar.
Okay, now I would like a G&T.

Mott's Clamato is the integral ingredient in the Bloody Caesar Cocktail, a Canadian invention. It was developed in Calgary, Alberta, in 1969 when to mark the opening of a new restaurant - Marco's - the owners commissioned Walter Chell to develop an original cocktail. After three months of exploring different recipes, Chell discovered a spicy drink made of Clamato juice, vodka, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and a dash of oregano. The Bloody Caesar remains Canada's #1 selling cocktail to this day, in fact, more than 250 million Mott's Clamato Caesars are sold every year.

BullshotOne for the morning after! Like the Bloody Mary, the Bullshot is a great combination of vodka with savoury flavours. If you want to spice it up, try it with pepper vodka instead. Mix plenty of ice cubes, 1 shot of vodka and 3 shots of clear beef bouillon. Add a dash of lemon juice and Worcester Sauce, and a pinch of celery salt. Shake and strain into a ice-filled tumbler. Decorate with a slice of lemon.

You can't hear anything, see anything, smell anything, feel anything, or taste anything, and do not even know where you are or who you are or how you got there

do we really love sincerity or is it just that we like it compared to gen x

it's true, those gen xers are always laying way back on the beanie bag playing with the holes in their jeans, saying they don't care about stuff

tfw you can answer customer questions about the beer better than the bartender

a few years ago i was in the mood for a gin sling, which i sometimes make at home but rarely ask for at a bar. the bartender had never heard of it, and when they asked me how to make it i couldn't remember the portions of gin and cointreau, and then they carded me!

Gin sling= singapore sling? I would've paused on that too. When I bartended in Hawaii a couple of years ago, I was a little tense about about someone ordering a zombie or grasshopper or some other out of fashion but in fashion for old people vacation drink.

― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 31 March 2018 19:11 (eight years ago)
it was originally synonymous, i think, but nowadays the singapore sling is more fruity (usually with grenadine or benedictine or pineapple juice or something else), whereas the gin sling is usually more minimal.xposts

Do they normally serve Hendricks with cucumber that side of the pond? Currently a tinny of Tennants with a shot of aperol in the top..the old union special

I'll just take a good slug of fine Irish whiskey with a spot of water on the side and go sit at that dark table in the back corner. You can join me, if you're in a quiet mood.
