Wow, what a day! Just off for dinner with Ms GR! Woo-hoo!
- Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 10:24 pm
  
  It has been! Have a good dinner!!
- maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:25 pm
  
  I’m back — did I miss anything?
  - Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 10:26 pm
    
    I just closed the cabaret! You have a present in there.
    
    Did you have fun?
    - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:27 pm
      
      I always have fun, but yes it was a good time.
      
      Another present? Is this one dressed?
      - Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 10:29 pm
        
        I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise.
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:38 pm
        
        Ernest Borgnine? It seems unfair that I get Ernest Borgnine when it was SN that was so enamored with him. I think he’s going to be one of those gifts that gets re-gifted. When is SN’s birthday?
      - BooMan on March 15, 2006 at 10:54 pm
        
        it could become a tradition…
      - wilderness wench on March 15, 2006 at 10:56 pm
        
        lol
        That’s right — ‘the importance of fleeing Ernest’.
      - boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 11:04 pm
        
        Excellent!
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 11:03 pm
        
        There’s a name for those kind of gifts. White elephants? Ernest goes to the next Birthday Boy or Girl.
      - wilderness wench on March 15, 2006 at 11:09 pm
        
        We’ll just call him Ernest Borgnine, Official Hot Potato of the FBC.
        
        Speaking of which, it may be bedtime in NY, but it’s also time for breakfast.
        Enjoy the rest of your day, maryb!
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 11:10 pm
        
        thanks ww!
      - AndiF on March 15, 2006 at 10:33 pm
        
        Are you shocked?
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:36 pm
        
        I am, but I’m glad! And now you’re going to tell me you’re going to bed, right?
        
        Don’t I get to see Sniff for my birthday?
      - AndiF on March 15, 2006 at 10:50 pm
        
        I was just waiting up for you — I have this terrible need to show off (look the old geezer is still on her feet, it’s amazing).
        
        Sniff is down below and over to the left.
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:51 pm
        
        thanks, I appreciate it! And Sniff too.
Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 10:25 pm

I did the semi-hosted thing again. In other words, I’ll be around but I’m not making any promises.

Now I’ve gotta get some dinner myself.
- boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 10:37 pm
  
  And here in NY, it’s almost bedtime. It has been a very long day.
  - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:38 pm
    
    You can leave as long as you leave your toys for us to play with 🙂
    - boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 10:44 pm
      
      I was in a bit of a huff that day.
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 10:46 pm
        
        wasn’t everyone.
      - boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 10:55 pm
        
        Oh! (I’ve been out of the cafe since this morning.) Happy birthday! (again) Look for your complimentary BooMan fruit basket in the mail.
      - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 11:07 pm
        
        A BooMan fruit basket . . .
      - boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 11:13 pm
        
        BooFruits, a new birthday tradition.
AndiF on March 15, 2006 at 10:48 pm

Happy Birthday and even more Happy Slacking!
- boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 10:57 pm
  
  Nice photo. I couldn’t get my son to sit long enough for a shot like this.
  - AndiF on March 15, 2006 at 10:59 pm
    
    Perhaps another reason why I have dogs and not kids. 😉
    - boran2 on March 15, 2006 at 11:02 pm
      
      There are times when I’m envious. 😉
suskind on March 15, 2006 at 11:22 pm

Bring your own….

I love Louise, in all her aspects….. jeez, thanks, Izzy, (wherever you are)…. life in wartime is not nearly so bleak with a bartender like you, and company like this!

A shot of whiskey, please.
- Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 11:28 pm
  
  I just got back. Whiskey, you say? I’m sorry. I’m of Scottish heritage — I only serve whisky.
  - suskind on March 16, 2006 at 12:04 am
    
    well f*ck me sideways, i’ll have one then.
    - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 12:07 am
      
      Coming right up! The whisky I mean. Not the other thing.
      - suskind on March 16, 2006 at 12:45 am
        
        The good stuff.
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 12:49 am
        
        I’ll give that a pass being so close to St. Paddy’s Day and all.
Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 11:40 pm

Hey, maryb — are you still here? Sorry about the whole Ernest surprise. I should’ve been here to soften the blow.
- maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 11:44 pm
  
  I’m here. Contemplating who I want to give Ernest to. You maybe?
  - Izzy on March 15, 2006 at 11:46 pm
    
    Hey, I gave you Goran.
    - maryb2004 on March 15, 2006 at 11:48 pm
      
      That’s true. And I’m in a good mood tonight. So I’ll keep Ernest for the time being and I’ll give you the BooMan Fruit Basket. Once it arrives by mail.
Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 12:35 am

I just got done — finally — with reading Diane’s Welcome Wagon diary. It was really great, but now I’m gonna have to give ejmw big ol’ hugs every time he comes in. We have got to quit foisting alcohol on the boy and make sure he’s eating well and taking care of himself.
- maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 12:38 am
  
  Foisting alcohol on him? He’s the one that makes the kegs appear. Not anybody else.
  
  I’m sure he’ll take the hugs from you — until he finds out its all a front to take away his beer.
  - growthrate on March 16, 2006 at 12:40 am
    
    Hey, I’m finally back, and it looks like I get to wish you happy birthday with 20 minutes to spare!
    
    So Happy Birthday!
    - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 12:41 am
      
      Thanks GR! Yes, we’re into the countdown for when the lights go off.
  - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 12:44 am
    
    Okay, perhaps “foist” was the wrong choice of words, but we really should endeavor to… oh, the hell with it. Where is he with his kegs anyway? He’s young — how much sleep can he need?
    - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 12:49 am
      
      Well, he does have jet lag. You might want to cut him some slack.
      
      Sheesh, first you want to mother him to death and now you’re pissed that he’s not here partying with you? Whats’ up with that?
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 12:55 am
        
        I’m offended, maryb. I thought you knew me better. When did I ever claim to be reasonable?
      - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 12:59 am
        
        True, you’ve never claimed to be reasonable.
        
        OK. Where the hell is he?
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:03 am
        
        I suppose we’ll have to soldier on with only a bottle of Suskind’s Irish whiskey.
      - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 1:04 am
        
        BTW do you watch 24? Or did you?
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:07 am
        
        No, that’s one of the few shows I’ve never seen. Besides the, y’know, plot, I have an aversion to Keifer Sutherland’s ears.
      - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 1:12 am
        
        Oh well. Then my observation would make no sense to you.
        
        But thanks for the Irish Whiskey. We need to prep for Friday.
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:14 am
        
        It never hurts to practice.
Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:16 am

Here you go, maryb. One last birthday present.
- maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 1:23 am
  
  Thanks. You’re very thoughtful.
  
  But the character I was actually thinking about was the evil wife of President Palmer.
  - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:26 am
    
    Any relation to Laura Palmer? Oops. Sorry. Wrong show, wrong thread.
    - maryb2004 on March 16, 2006 at 1:36 am
      
      Nope
      
      I’m getting ready to call it a night so if I disappear you’ll know where I’ve gone.
      - Izzy on March 16, 2006 at 1:44 am
        
        Yup, me too. It’s been a really good day — thanks for sharing your birthday with us.
