<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>

It's a miracle, the cafe's totally spamless right now!

6 minutes until 1st post? That really must be a new record ;)

Yes, it certainly is ;)
Definately one of my more dangerous stunts [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dangerous? How so? You had plenty of time to post. But I guess we, the jealous mob, could become hostile. Is that what you mean? [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D But think of Cloudy´s feelings. She adds a brand new Cafe and no one posts! I say be glad you posted. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Hello All..I've come in to sit down and see why my shoe squeaks! [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Ah, but there are countless things that could go wrong when you try to set a new record. A jealous mob would be the least of the dangers...
For example, only yesterday I nearly lost a finger trying to break the "most paper through the shredder" record, which I didn't succeed in breaking by the way. Ran out of paper after the first four sheets.
Anyway, very dangerous. But then that's what the public wants to see, eh?

LMAO! Alas, violence is growing more popular by the day. And I must say, I´m very sorry you didn´t manage to break that record. At least you set a new one today though. One that will earn you praise from generations to come! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our all time slowest first poster of Cloudy´s *drumroll* Legolas! [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Good morning Sir Tainly. Now why are you walkng with that gallant steed of your standing beside you? [img]tongue.gif[/img] And if your shoes are squeaking, it´s probably all the snow that´s causing it http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon28.gif

Why thank you, I'd like to thank my friends and families, my fans and basically everyone who made it possible for me to have that slowest first post by not posting. Next time I'll try for seven minutes!
*crowd gasps*

Squeeking shoes eh? Don't get me started, I'm out on a special mission today so I can't afford them dragging me back to the asylum just yet ;)

I hope not I'm not ready for snow..fog yes snow no :(

I think the shoe is squeaking because of some third-world low skill craftsman... [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

*pulls saiud craftsman from shoe..squeaking stops* [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Yesterday, after training, I was chatting with this beautifull kick boxing chick [img]graemlins/cheer.gif[/img] I am in love with though I still haven't managed to tell her how I feel.

Everything was going smooth, until my lovely female neighbor [img]graemlins/fairy.gif[/img] who gives me a lift home now and then opens the door of the gym and shouts "HALFDAN ARE YOU COMING HOME OR WHAT ?!" [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

Geez

Squeeking shoes eh? Don't get me started, I'm out on a special mission today so I can't afford them dragging me back to the asylum just yet ;) </font>[/QUOTE]Special Mission??? why wasn't I called up for this one..maybe I'm not "special" enough ;)

hmm and "or what" wasn't an option?? ;)

I think they needed stealth for this one, so no squeeky shoe wearers [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

Warhammer, there's always tomorrow ;)

Hey, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this many-answers-with-only-single-post thing :D

Well now [img]graemlins/cheer.gif[/img] believes [img]graemlins/fairy.gif[/img] is my girlfriend since she thinks we live together. I can't believe the icy look she gave me. Pfff...women [img]graemlins/reallyroll.gif[/img]

LOL, and did you figure it out yet? :D

Willow and Legolas, [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Good Morning!

Warhammer, I'd definitely let it slip that the ride is a neighbor! Maybe go up to talk and say something like"Just wanted to say hi before my neighbor comes to drive me home" or something a little slicker than that! LOL

Yeah, just listen to Sir Tainly. He's the expert in matters like this [img]smile.gif[/img]

Morning Cloudy, how are you?

Cloudy..Hiya yes I did. Read ALL the thread from the top ;)

Legolas..expert ??? Remember "Ex" means you are past it..and a "spurt" is just a drip under pressure ;)

I know, but it would hardly be considered nice to say otherwise, now would it ;)
Not that I'd be very helpful...

Hey SirT! LOLOLOL, I surely hope you can keep the squeaking craftsmen out of your shoes in the future! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Legolas, uh, I can send paper if you need it...but maybe you'd best stick to the record Willow says you broke- longest interval before first post at the Cafe! :D

We could write a huge book too, only the typing would get us both RSI and it wouldn't be too coherent. But who cares about that anyway, I'm sure we could find a publisher.
I can just see it now:

"Blue raccoons ate my auntie's chair" by Legolas and Sir Tainly
on poverty on the moon and the wearing of MUGs and the origin of the speeches
(my name gets to go first because I'm member #968 and you're only #93)

[img]graemlins/hidesbehindsofa.gif[/img] those men in white are getting awfully close

Morning, :spam2:lets. What a beautiful morning. It'll get into the 70's today, everybody is saying. Geez. my grass is still growing. Guess I'll have to cut it again this weekend. And fertilize. *moan* So, how is everyone, today?

Well, this may be a dumb idea, but if you stop fertilising the lawn, the grass may just stop growing as fast as it does ;)

Can you be 968 [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] hasn't Porsche got that copyrighted ;) I have a great ideas for a book..how's about a bespectacled boy wizard going to a special wizard school..or about short people with big hairy feet looking for a magic ring ?? ;)

[ 11-19-2002, 08:47 AM: Message edited by: Sir_Tainly ]

I was here long before Porsche got that copyrighted... I think [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]
I like your ideas on books, but they'll never work. People dont want to read that kind of thing. But how does a boy wizard with big hairy feet looking for magic spectacles sound?

hmm sounds ok..but what if the spectacles had big hairy feet too..we could make millions merchandising slippers in the style of the feet ;)

LOL, I would, but this has pre-emergent weed-killer in it, and if I don't put it out in the next couple of weeks, come spring, I will be mowing the weeds long before the grass comes up. ;)

Well, there's snow on my lawn, so I'm done with it til spring! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Weeds..ugh, don't remind me. My lawn is half weeds, half grass. But it's a lovely shade of green! :D

Not going to build a snow man??? :eek:

LMAO Warhammer! Girls our nothing but trouble ehh? Be very sure how you answer that one! :D It´s going to take you ages to sort this out! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I have the fullest confidence in your abilities to handel it though ;)

Technically grass is weed too. I never bother with the lawn. I let the hubby mow it every week summertime. How muxh have you gotten so far? IMO there´s not that much snow up here yet.

Oh and Attalus, mowing your lawn a few extra times is the punishment for you teasing us with the lovely weather you´re having ;)

Hi all. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Still at college *sigh* ah well... so what are the rest of you up to?

We´re trying to have a decent converstion although I just jumped back into it. You see you weren´t around to spam so it looked like we finally had our chance! [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D :D Not up to much. Driving Jackie to school in about half an hour.

I like the idea of the slippers, we'll do that ;)

Attalus, as far as I know you can get weedkillers which aren't mixed with fertiliser too (and weedkillers which make the weeds grow so fast they'll kill themselves in the process).

*kicks Willow's char* Nasty Willow... I dont spam! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] what a thing to suggest! I'm shocked at you, quite shocked. btw what time is it over there?
