Ye Olde bAAR: Closed

[Director]

Director backs into the BAAR, holding the door open with a shoulder and a foot. As he turns, the door chunks shut and the glaring daylight fades. He's holding two cases in his arms. It looks suspiciously like...

"It is!" He says, toting the cases to the bartop. "Two cases of the finest champagne." He reaches under his coat. "There's a jug of ice-cold milk in one of the cases, and here's a box of homemade cookies for those who partake of less alcoholic pleasures."

"And my good barkeeps - all the drinks are on me! And the tips, of course..." He lays down a large V-note.

He gestures grandly at the open-mouthed faces around the room, all wondering what has this madman stirred up. "It is finished! Over! Complete! The Spirit Done Moved On! And the link is in my sig."

Zhai makes more thoughtful notes in his little book.

"Oh, yeah, the fresh salmon for Olaf - it's out in the truck, let me go get that."

He starts to hurry out, pauses. "I just heard from Sorcerer, by the way. He's OK, but a little shaken up. He thought the Lord of Bones was going to make him a saint. He wasn't ready for the other kind of cannon-ization."

He ducks in case the beer bottles start flying and hurries out for the salmon.

 

[Faeelin]

Faeelin walks in, takes one looks around, blinks, and then walks out again.

Outside, he takes some of Director's salmon, and then thanks him for all the fish.

 

[Eochaid]

Still covered with chains, Eochaid walks (crawls?) to the mike and stands on the edge of the stage

"Hello People. Lovely to see you here tonight... Er, during your lunch break... Please pay attention just a few seconds. There is a poll on the French forum called "Should there be a French AAR forum?" Along with other people there we're trying to have it created... and it would be nice if you guys, as an act of AARers solidarity with your French comrads, could vote.

The first line is for YES, the second for NO, the third for "Here's the usual joking line of this serious pole.

Thank you for your attention."

Eochaid goes back to the counter. *Snif* doesn't it smell of fish here?

 

[unmerged(10971)]

Judas walks in and goes over to Eochaid.

"Corellian ale... in a clean glass."

After he takes a couple sips, he says, "Good job getting there ahead of me in the Broken Spears AAR. Of course, if it hadn't have been for that huge time zone difference... Well, why don't we just get off that subject."

He takes another couple of sips.

"Oh, and don't worry," he whispers, "I'll get you out of that prison." Here he looks at the two guards. "Fydor! Dimitri! Drinks on me!" He tries to get them too drunk to watch Eochaid...

"By the way, you don't mind if I voted for the 'joking line' on that poll, do you?"

 

[unmerged(6777)]

T walks into the BAAR...

"Ouch!"

"Well why don't you watch where you're going?" admonished Norgesvenn, wiping some beer spillage from the countertop and lighting a fag.

"Ouch!"

Sorry, not that kind of fag...the other kind.

"Aaaaahhhh."

A halo of blue smoke wafted around the Norwegian's head. "What's up," he enquired.

"Just thought I'd mention that Heagarty's AAR might be worth a visitation if you haven't in a while..."

Tired of the slapstick and double-entendres, Norgesvenn reached for THE BUTTON...

 

[Warspite]

"Jerry! Wow I didnt know you came to the baar" MrT said with amazement just before throwing a dart.

"Well ya know, I'm off to the game room in the back to play more slime balls and to check for more updates from Shiiugas AAR"

 

[Gaijin de Moscu]

Gaijin returned to the bAAR, looking very thoughful, almost in a coma.

'Eochaid, Oh my Lord, I pray for a glass of cold...' he stopped in the middle of his sentence, looked around and woke up. 'Rats! Sorry man, can you pour me some pulque?.. I mean Tequila Sunrise? No blood. I mean, no salt.'

'Sorry. Only serve water - still in a Russian cellar y'know. See the chains? Here ya go!'

'Thanks mate. Fighting Aztecs is a killer. BTW, could you glue around some posters? I am still accepting applicants for a Supreme Deity. I have a wonderful pre-identified candidate, but was thinking, I'll keep it open till tomorrow.'

'Posters? Nope.'

'Yeah. I thought so...' and he continued drinking his water, looking at an empty wall opposite the entrance.

'Oh, almost forgot,' Gaijin said. 'I bought a plazma screen for this place, to display all the new AARs. Should be delivered in no time. And we can project the names of the new AARs here onto the floor! To create an atmospere, look & feel, all that. Like the new Naples one, and the Gold & Sun. I love when a new AAR starts - keep checking back every coupla hours.'

'Cool.' Eochaid went on cleaning his glasses, thinking 'you pro-goverment opressor of freedom, you!'

 

[Eochaid]

And indeed a few hours later the Huge plasma screen was hanging on the wall and the guys who'd delivered it were finishing to wire it. The first flickering images on the screen were from some new AAR, My first AAR (Naples) by francescomoro, a new forum member. The title was not the best ever, but it was a good read.

After a few minutes, Eochaid slowly crept back to the bAAR, dragging his load of chains behind him. Washing his same ever-dirty glass (maybe was it because he kept spiting in it before weeping with a teacloth, like bartenders did in Westerns), he wandered how many poor oppressed Russian peasants Gaijin had had tormented and mugged to be able to buy this.

So did Eddie Teach abandon his MUNSTER AAR?

Anyone seen him lately?

The flyers were too many to be all displayed on the board and several layers of them were pined...

 

[Warspite]

Great idea Eochaid, it is often sad to see many leave us (warspite rushes out the door with the list yelling "Wait, dont go!")

 

[unmerged(9167)]

Zhai came into the bAAR and announced,

"Drinks are on me. I am so happy to be done with my midterm exams. Celebrate! Have fun!"

Then Zhai saw the wanted listed, he shook his head. He wrote into his notebook about those people, and remind himself to examine each person on the list to see if they have disorders.

Zhai then sat down at the stool, and drinking his soda pop.

 

[Eochaid]

Taking advantage of Norg not being there, Eochaid takes a bit of chalk and writes on the blackborad behind the counter

Hello People, I'm trying to set up an AAR gathering in Copenhaguen. People interested check THIS

 

[unmerged(8900)]

Boultan entered the bAAR, angry towards Eochaid :

"Hey, you, I just realized you've made me pay 6,8 $ for a 4,3$ beer and 2,1$ peanuts, is there a blond inside your body or what ?"

Over-reacting as usual, Eochaid chose to launch his "scandinavian freak" lethal weapon once again, inducing Boultan's runaway and a lot of happy shouting in the bAAR... Or was it Henry's second goal on TV, dunno...

 

[Eochaid]

Tss pesky French people. Always complaining about having to pay too much VIRTUAL MONEY... And nom he would not use THE BUTTON. Peter was having a nap, and waking him up when he was sleeping is the last thing you'd want to do.

 

[J. Passepartout]

"Hey, everybody" Passeportout shouted. "Go down to the EU1 oscAARs and vote. We've only got ten votes so far, and that's it. Ten votes in six days! And there are only 6 AARs! They're short, so it won't take long to make up your mind."

He sat down, and wondered if he had just pushed Morlacs AAR above fifty percent by that.

 

[unmerged(10445)]

Ouphh.. I made a new chapter of Inca AAR... Beer! Or I`ll die from thirst.

 

[unmerged(4007)]

Shawng1 came into the bAAR, carrying his manuscript.

"Grolsch, Norgs."

"That the Dutch AAR, Shawn?"

"Yes it is, complete at last. So let us enjoy the best of Dutch beers one final time before we move on to other lands, shall we?"

 

[Sam Vimes]

Sam enters the bAAR, commands a beer and turns ont the radio

It’s time for Yak, Jerko, and Harold’s Afternoon Drive on WWMF. I want to listen to the result of the Clash of Titans. It’s the most important championship of the year. The stupid soccer WC is nothing compared to it (No please, not The Button)…

I don’t know what is your bet, but I’ll say Hear should be the winner. She might be the only woman, but she has the balls ans she is the one who wears the pants, not this pseudo mach Zeus…
Hades isn’t bas either, but if Hear plays ok, she could just kill him!

Let’s listen, I wonder who is going to be nuked this time

 

[Valdemar]

Valdemar starts carrying sack full of sand a small palm and a few bright lamps in to a corner of the bar, he creates a smallpile of sand, brings out a beach chair and sits under the bright lights wearing sunglasses.

"a daquiri please"

Norg brings the drink.

"What's with the equipment?"

"Fall has arrived in Copenhagen, its pouring down and the wind makes impossible to use umbrellas, I thought I'd bring some sun into my life "

Valdemar takes one sip,

"Yuk, this is strawberry, I need a real one, sweet and sour, please use lime or lemon and give Shawn another beer."

He waives Shawn over, "Any chance your going to PDF that dutch thing of yours? It's a marvelous story but the complexity makes it difficult to read while at work I'd love to print it out and give it the attention it deserves. Now pull out those shades and have a beer."
