<H2><font color="plum">Cloudy's Cafe</font></H2>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H3>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H3>

* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner

* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!

* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)

* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy,
your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Evening all. You know what? I may not survive the winter. It's only what 50-60 degrees outside and i'm already cold? Living in Cuba really killed my tolerance for cold weather that's for sure. I've been inside all day, and somehow I got a sore throat... [img]tongue.gif[/img] Who would've guessed? What's everyone been up too?

2ND POST! :D

Howdy everyone! The cafe looks great tonight Cloudy. Mind if I grab a Dr. Pepper? To garble song lyrics: "They call it Stormy since Monday but Friday I come out to play." Lord of Alcohol might think so though. (gets up and collects all the whiskey/beer/wine/assorted bottles of alcohol/cooking sherry/ NyQuil/near beer/root beer and locks them in pocket universe.}

Ewwwwwwwwww.....

Sir Goulum do you mind my asking what is wrong with Dr. Pepper? Now if he said Coke I would understand... ;)

It..well....uhg never mind! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Redblueflare, you should have compassion on Sir Goulum. Not everyone possesses the refined palate necessary to appreciate the actual formulation of the nectar of the gods. Those of us who have been blessed with such insight into the workings of creation and have benefitted from the sublime bliss in liquid form whic is Dr. Pepper owe it to those less fortunate.

*shudders* The name even makes me shiver! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Umm... I wouldn't say it's *that* good Antryg. [img]tongue.gif[/img] You haven't answered my quesiton yet Sir Goulum. What exactly is wrong with Dr. Pepper? Some ingredient I don't know about? [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's more a lack of certain ingrediants i guess. :D

Hey everyone! Speaking of cold... with winter coming up and the requisite drop in temperature, I for one would like to boycott winter. I don't want it to get cold, I don't want it to snow (even on Christmas!) until I get a promise from Old Man Winter that this year it won't last until mid-May, as it has the past few years.

Cloudy, I need chocolate. What have you got that would satisy my craving?

Dr. Pepper is alright, if that's your thing. It's got nothing on chocolate milk, though.

edit: terrible spelling

Dr.Pepper? It's abit to peppery. I prefer Vanilla Coke ;)

I like coke, I like beer, I like wearing underwear. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How is y'all?

Bit of a long day at work but I sold a coupla $3000 bikes so might make my sales target yet [img]smile.gif[/img]
I didn't get lunch until 3pm and even then I was sitting in the office munching on a muffin and this random old dude opens the door and asks if I can serve him!!! I told him I was in the middle of lunch and I'd serve him in 10min when I was finished but he didn't like that and stormed off. I'm over it.

Nice and sunny here, think I might get fish and chips for dinner and cruise down the beach.

OMG i NEVER get the first post grrr!
But happy day all of you! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Pours Dr. Pepper on Downunda's underwear. :D Well, I'm combining things I like with what you like...ooh, that doesn't sound good, does it? LOL

Hi all, must sleep...just finished a session of NWN and leveled my Bard to a 6.

Hi, ever'body! I've just had three rather stiff Rum and Cokes and I'm not feeling much pain right now, LOL! I think I need to find me something to put on my stomach since I feel like I'm flying right now.

*hic*

-Sazerac

You stay away from my underwear [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I always took you for more of a scotch on the rocks type guy Saz [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just thought you'd like to know I'll be playing tenpin at 4pm then off for food and drinkies (to top up the ones consumed during tenpin ;) )

Mods are (semi) human too [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

And here I was thinking they were mere mice :D

Have fun with the drinkies mousie ;)

LOl like me i have 15 beers innside me so i am STARVING must get some food here! :D

*looks around the cafe and sees drunk people everywhere*

Lo all *waves* I can't stay long, I'm going to visit my grandad in hospital. He's having problems with his heart and so far the doctors think he's okay but he's had two heart attacks before and we're hoping he won't have a third.

*snickers at Downunda and smooches his cheek* Ok ok, I'll leave your undies alone :D

Kaltia, I'll say some prayers for your grandfather. I hope your visit goes well!

Oh drat! Mousie just let out our secret! Dang, now you all know that mods are human! ;) :D

teehee....GokuZool, not EVERYYONE was tipsy! LOL :D I was just tired!

lol, I seemed to have "overshot" this cafe [img]tongue.gif[/img] was wondering when u ppl were gonna make a new one. Hope your granddads ok Kat.

*SomeGuy wanders in half asleep.* Hello everybody.I'm really tired right now and need rest. *Goes over and plops self on the couch hoping no one has already done this*

Hi someguy. lol, get some rest, I'm surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre nessy wont mind you borrowing her couch. *grin*

Where is she anyway? Naw,this my couch.I brought it from home.

lol, busy I guess. Im gonna go play BG1 for a bit, cyas.

cya dude. Well,now what am I gonna do?....

*Walks into cafe half aslseep* Morning all! I stayed up till 6:30 this morning getting out of chapter 2 in NWN. YAY! [img]graemlins/yippee.gif[/img] (Why do the chapters feel much longer than BG2?) Than I woke up at nine. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Kaltia I hope your grandfather's okay... :( I've got a question. Is the US the only country that uses the *forsaken* Daylight Savings Time? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Nope, B_Man, we go through it too. Except for Saskatchewan. Why are they so special???

I am undecided between spending the rest of the morning
a) Moping
b) Playing IWD
c) Designing my next adventure for AD&D (2nd Ed forever!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
d) Making my mod for NWN

So I'll probably be around awhile.

<font color = lightgreen>I figured I'd better make some sort of appearance here at some point. Three days without bothering to post in the forum does that, don't you know. Serves me right for getting so caught up in IWD2. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

I certainly hope everyone here is having weather as great as we are! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

[img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] *looks outside at 1-2 inches of snow. Starts thinking of elaborate ways to torment Azred*

Good day all. Looking for strong coffee just finished puting tile up in both bathrooms what a stess full job. But just need to grout now and I am done thank goodness.

Any who Azred I have had that game in my little paws twice( I mean big paws [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ) And have put it back. Are you enjoying it. Or should I get NWN instead me confussed.

You all have a good day.

Hi, Azred, this certainly is the greatest October in recent memory. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I remember all too well last year's which was hot and muggy. The year before, I couldn't wear my costume, since it was too warm. <font color=lavender>Galadria</font> is really happy, since this is perfect weather for training for her marathon. She is shooting for under two hours and I think she might just make it. But, like I told her, any time is better than a DNF.

That is what you get for living in Cow town True_moose.
But on a side note I think those flames are going to have a great year. I like the way the team is playing.

pss just do not tell anyone I said that.

COW TOWN!?!?!?! At least my city's main (and only) tourist attraction isn't a big @$$ mall!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That would be a very fast time that would be a world record for a marathon. OR do you mean a half marathon. Anyways wishes luck on the two hours.

Opps I meant to say Calgary [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

No hard feeling I lived there for many years before moving to the city of champs. :rolleyes:
