Catskills Babel and Daily Thread

[Scrumpy Jack]

Oh, well, there's posh! Yer people here obviously know how to pamper a foreigner. I mean, the landlady at the Trinsic Rose is nice and all, but she never offered me an omelett, with or without any trimmings.

Now then, lad, as long as there is no white sweet stuff on it ... my teeth aren't what they used to be, yer know.

*rummages around in his backpack for some candy*

Here yer go, lad. I got this from last years Halloween.

*hands over candy*

 

[woody_cats]

one cheese omelet with a side order of bacon and some irish soda bread for you kind sir

 

[Scrumpy Jack]

*eyes plate suspiciously*

Yer sure there is no egg in this omelett? It looks pretty yellow to me ...

*pokes around in food and takes a bite*

hmmm ... hmpf dm shmupf hsh pfhm!

*chews noisily*

 

[Podolak]

*yawns entering the tavern*

Good Morning Lady Cheffnia, thank you for providing our new guest with a warm welcome.

*nods to the new entrant*

Good day sir, what brings you our way?

*starts the coffee and hot water for tea*

 

[Scrumpy Jack]

*chews*

Ello yer! Them posh people from the Europa thingie told me, that yer won't mind me coming around. I guess them were just a bit tired by hearing me singing ... there can be too much of a good thing, yer know.

*chews some more*

Them did not tell me that yer having a feast going on here.

*munches some more omelet*

Mind, that omelet thingie is not like my mother used to make it. Yer seem to have some strange kind of yellow laver here ....

 

[Podolak]

*chuckles*

I am glad the European types are still sending visitors. This isn't atypical of the type of meals we have. The tavern has two cooks at present, Lady Cheffnia and Lady Claudia. So needless to say we are well fed. Except a few weeks ago when they were out sick and I was left to the cooking. After that, everyone else got sick and I think one of my cakes is a boat anchor, still.

Welcome to Catskills and the tavern. So lets hear these stories.

*listens intently after stoking the hearth*

Nothing like a story by the fire.

 

[Scrumpy Jack]

*gasps*

Yer mean yer have this kind of grub every day? Now there's posh!

*looks amazed*

Well, if yer insists, I can sing yer one of my songs as payment. When I sing them in my hometown Trinsic they always make people's eyes water so that they have to shield them ears. Never understood why them have to do that when yer having problems with yer eyes, but then I ain't no healer, so what do I know?

*tunes his lute tunelessly*

So, here yer go

My song is called

HOUSE OF THE TRAVELLERS INN

*sings*

There is a house in Trinsic town
They call the Travellers Inn
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And Minax knows I’m one

My mother was a sailor
She bought me new barbed pants
My father was a beggar man
Down in Trinsic town

Now the only things a beggar needs
Is a backpack and crook
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's got an alm

------ lute solo ------

Oh people tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in Cove and Skara Brae
Not in Trinsic’s Travellers Inn

Well, I got one foot in a puddle
The other foot on the road
I'm goin' back to Trinsic town
To drink and lick a toad.

Well, there is a house in Trinsic town
They call the Travellers Inn
And it's been the ruin of me and Mary T.
And Minax knows I’m done.

*tortures the lute some more*

That's me done.

*bows*

 

[Podolak]

*laughing as he claps*

Well good fellow, I think you are going to fit in nicely. Consider your breakfast paid in full. How about an ale to sooth your throat from the singing? We've some beeswax for the lute too if needed.

 

[Scrumpy Jack]

Very kind of yer! I'll take both, the ale for me sore throat and the wax for me ears. I think I have to sit over there in the quiet corner for a while and take me 40 winks ... I am quite tired, yer know.

*walks over to dark corner and takes a nap*

 

[Podolak]

*sets the ale on the table in front of the sleeping man decided he'd rather have a warm ale when he wakes than none at all*

Rest well traveler.

*returns to the counter and starts cleaning up*

*yawns*

Happy Monday Everyone.

 

[Black Sun]

Re: 'tis Monday

Monday? Again?
Didn't we just have one a few days ago?

 

[Podolak]

They keep coming up, I have not figured out how to get ride of them yet. Can't you just hold them back from getting to me? We'll stay in a perpetual holding pattern of Sunday night. You guys can perpetually be Monday morning.

 

[Black Sun]

Keep all the snow, keep all the Mondays....
What did I ever do to you?

 

[Podolak]

You get to keep the daylight for a few seconds longer than I do?

It isn't that I don't like you or anything...I just...like ME better!

btw...I am holding a MTG tournament at my house for all of us old farts that haven't played in 14 years. Oh wait...my wife said I can't. Nevermind...

 

[kelmo]

*taps mountain and plays a Kird Ape*

What do you mean I can't do that anymore?

 

[Podolak]

how the heck did you get 12 forests in play on turn three mister???

 

[kelmo]

*smiles* Tree hax... You gonna block that?

 

[Podolak]

*Counter Spell*

 

[Black Sun]

*smiles* Tree hax... You gonna block that?

I knew it!
Kelmo is teh l33t haxorz!!

 

[Podolak]

Morning all.

*Taps 1S for Demonic Tutor*

 

[KayMcK]

Glances around, a regal air of confidence surrounds him as he takes a seat in a shadowed corner. Leaning the wooden slats of his chair back against the rough-hewn wall he withdraws a jewelled obsidian flask from his waistcoat pocket and removing the lid, takes a long, slow, deliberate swig of its contents. A fine stock of liquor from his homeland, he smiles lazily and closes his eyes as he savors the pleasure of his recently rediscovered serenity.

 

[Podolak]

*opens up the Tavern for the day, a slightly disheveled look about him*

Morning all, its hump day hmm?

(Sorry for missing you KayMcK)

 

[woody_cats]

anyone on right now

 

[Black Sun]

I'm on stratics, but not on UO.
Stupid job frowns on playing games at my desk.

 

[woody_cats]

same here and i saw they placed a banner in aegis my tower i think should be right to the left top and want to make sure ok lol

 

[Podolak]

Morning Woody and Black Sun.

 

[woody_cats]

morning lol can you check my tower ok it owner by valius

 

[Podolak]

I too am at work but I know someone who isn't, let me check.

 

[Podolak]

Are you talking about the banner in front of the Knight's Rest?

 

[woody_cats]

yes my tower is right there

 

[Podolak]

Is everything OK?

 

[woody_cats]

is my tower there ok lol

 

[Podolak]

Why wouldn't it be? I think I am not understanding what you are looking for.

 

[woody_cats]

since not a part of that guild and my tower is right in the middle i just wanted to check it ok and did not get messed up when there banner was placed . i know silly and stupid

 

[Podolak]

It does not seem it was bothered!

 

[woody_cats]

thanks know am a idiot

 

[Podolak]

Not at all

 

[Aedon Durreah]

Woody, your tower in Aegis is doing fine. I will check it each day when I log in if you like. Seeing that things can go odd in video games when actions are taken that changes an area, I do not think you are odd at all for worrying.

 

[woody_cats]

that is not necessary i know normally the area is great was just worried with the banner placement but saw last night and was pleased. hopefully i will see more people around and some will say hello or stop in for a visit

 

[woody_cats]

that is not necessary i know normally the area is great was just worried with the banner placement but say last night and was pleased

 

[Black Sun]

*looks around and notices a few days worth of dust covering everything*
Wonder if the recent nice weather has anything to do with our lack of patrons...

*puts the coffee on and begins dusting off everything*

 

[Podolak]

*yawns*

I think this nice weather is a tad infectious. Thanks for holding back the brunt of the recent bad weather Black Sun.

 

[Black Sun]

We were supposed to have bad weather?

 

[Podolak]

Last weekend, indeed. Though bad is relative right? The end of this week is looking really nice though.

 

[Podolak]

*brings out the ABM*

Seems we lost our cooks, lets dust this thing off and give it a try.

*yawns*

Good Day everyone.

 

[kelmo]

*checks regs* Yup... I can cook something... Flamestrikes up! Now give me a target!

 

[Black Sun]

Now give me a target!

Podolak has a few eggs in his back pocket.

 

[kelmo]

*thinks* Scrambled or over easy...
