1scorp unregistered	posted August 14, 2003 03:51 PM Well... I wasn't going to say anything, as the champagne offer was very sweet. Yeah... you could have just offered me an ice cold beer and I would have been just as happy. This is quite nice... charming company and champagne. You've made my Thursday, Jw! Oh, we have to make sure it doesn't go flat? Uhmmm... don't think you will have to worry about that Do we have to stay somewhat civilized? That is the key on how quick I can kick back this bottle I'm kidding! I wouldn't do that. Not the first time anyway.. IP: Logged

Well, nothing pleases better than someone easy to please. A glass of champagne is very civilized---if you're into civilization It's hot, maybe some cold ones would be better at that. jwhop IP: Logged

Just heard the power is off in much of NY and extending all the way to Toledo OH. They are saying a power plant or distribution center caught fire----maybe with a little help from our erstwhile fiends. jwhop IP: Logged

N_wEvil unregistered	posted August 14, 2003 06:37 PM What i find terribly amusing is that its been out for how long...? can anyone say "redundancy" ? I think everyones going to be ok IP: Logged
lioneye68 unregistered	posted August 14, 2003 06:38 PM ALL of Toronto, and eastern Canada are without power too! Someone said the "T" word. God, I hope not! IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 15, 2003 06:53 AM Juniperb-how is your daughter? jwhop, yes, I'm ok! Thank you for your concern The only person I was able to call for a while was in Florida and the first message I was able to retrieve was from Nevada. Out-of-state calls weren't having as many problems as the local calls. I have never seen NY like that before-I mean, pitch black. 1scorp-I would definitely take j.w. up on that champagne offer if I were you. How odd, one of my favorite beers is made by j.w. dundee. coincidence? I will admit that walking amongst the herds of people in the street felt eerily familiar. IP: Logged
1scorp unregistered	posted August 15, 2003 09:23 AM Take him up on it?! We got looped Next round/bottle is on me toots IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 15, 2003 09:31 AM If that's an invite, count me in! I hear jwhop's a great cook. Aw heck, I'll throw in a bottle too. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 15, 2003 05:08 PM Stretch-----yawn Hey, where did the day go? Glad to see you're ok Oxy! Can't imagine wandering around between all those skyscrapers in the dark! So, you're a fan of Honey Brown? j.w. dundee----Well we're everywhere and into everything--just about. No coincidences! Geez 1scorp, judging by all the empties laying around you must have had some friends in for a party after I went to bed. Who's the near beer drinker? Yeah, let's all party---but not tonight. I've got a lot of cleanup to do. jwhop IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 15, 2003 07:27 PM Yep, love me some Honey Brown. I used to go to a bar that sold $1 pints of it on Saturdays. The pitch-blackness was pretty strange-especially while on the bus on the bridge back to my neighborhood. Luckily I was with a few other people, and the busdriver was nice enough to yell out the stops. (heck, the busdriver was nice enough to be drive without any traffic lights!) jwhop, you clean too?

jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 15, 2003 10:14 PM Hmmm, don't think the bars carry it down here! Might be a mistake going into a bar asking for Honey Brown. Who knows who or what you might get Hey, have to say I was proud of you New Yorkers yesterday---you handled the problem well Yeah, I'm just a cleaning fool. Ambidextrous you know--twin feather dusters, my own matched set. jwhop IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 15, 2003 10:42 PM So long as you don't wear a frilly apron, I'm impressed. at the Honey Brown comment. I think the response was very typical New York. We all have somewhere we either need to want to be and so we don't just sit around and dawddle. NYer are always on the move. Minus the horrific panic of course, the herds in the street were very reminiscent of 9/11. CNN has some interesting pictures of the blackout. Ambidextrous, eh? Oh that just opens up a WORLD of possible comments. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 16, 2003 12:40 AM I don't think the apron is overly frilly. It's gingham--standard issue. I reserve the gold lam� for special occasions. I prefer a heavy dark Bavarian beer myself------with anchovy pizza Hmmm, I was talking about the calm during the emergency and the fact there was almost no crime. Pretty remarkable! Yeah ambidextrous but I never let my left hand know what the right is doing jwhop IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 17, 2003 11:41 AM I did hear about some carjackings on the expressway. But I was impressed with the calm attitude too. People actually weren't shoving each other on the street! Pretty remarkable. I like anchovies..in salads. I leave it to my Aries brother to eat them on pizza (I'm a fan of black olives on pizza). I like dark brews too. But I don't think I've ever had Bavarian beer. Gingham, huh? Haven't worn gingham in 5 years, since I dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for Halloween. It was quite a sight. sorry, all tapped out of appropriate witty things to post about that ambidextrous comment. IP: Logged
lioneye68 unregistered	posted August 17, 2003 01:02 PM Rickard's Honey Brown is perdy darn good. So's Okanagan Springs Pale Ale...that's my new fave, actually! And the Schmirnoff Ice is yummy too. Do you guys have that down there? Its kinda like a premixed Vodka and 7up. I love it over a giant pile of ice. (in a glass, of course ) IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 17, 2003 01:22 PM whew, lioneye, for a moment there I had an odd picture in my head of your smiling over a large bucket of ice. I've never heard of the other beers you mentioned-are they Canadian brews? Yep, we have smirnoff ice here, but I'm not a big fan of lemon (only on seafood). A lot of my friends enjoy it. I thought of Zima when it first came out (remember Zima??). Lioneye, I found out my good friend at work is a Leo with Aqua Moon, as well as the friend we took out last week for his birthday. I thought of you. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 17, 2003 04:22 PM Hmmm, I didn't read or hear about any carjackings but there was a lot going on that probably pushed those stories off the news. Dark Bavarian beer is only a type----at least it's what we used to ask for at Shakey's Pizza Parlors when we wanted a dark heavy tap beer with a lot of body. Never found anything bottled to compare with it. Black olives are good too but nothing goes with beer better than a salty anchovy pizza. Extra sauce please! Well, at least you know what gingham is By today's standards, that makes you positively domestic Dorothy Probably a bad direction to take the conversation anyway---since you're already tapped out! Let's just say I'm ambivalent about being ambidextrous. jwhop IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted August 17, 2003 09:28 PM Domestic...hardly...but I will forever treasure those Dorothy pictures. LOL Why ambivalent? IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 18, 2003 12:50 AM Bet you made a precious little Dorothy. Not domestic? Hey, knowing your cloth patterns is about as domestic as it gets in today's culture! Why ambivalent---jealousy, I know it's wrong but I favor my right hand jwhop IP: Logged
lioneye68 unregistered	posted August 18, 2003 12:54 AM Am I depraved? Why did that sound like another good set up to me?? resisting Awww, Oxy, you thought of me? Really? I'm touched. Yeah, those beers are both Canadian domestic beers. Unfortuneately, probably not well known enough to make their way into the U.S. IP: Logged
jwhop Knowflake Posts: 2787 From: Madeira Beach, FL USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted August 21, 2003 02:11 AM Oxy, you asked for some fishing advice. This is a good way to get started jwhop IP: Logged
1scorp unregistered	posted August 21, 2003 09:33 AM Wonder how well he did ? IP: Logged
