<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>

1st post?

Well I would have got it but an error stopped me and a 40 econd pause between each post...arrgghhh. (i did it after all, slow day then :D )

Never mind, Canadian Cloudy's cafe eh... Why you make a themed Cafe every new one, and then differant gimmicks (imaginary of course [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) could be added to each cafe.

Like an American cafe, Australian cafe, Gibraltarian cafe you get the idea...

Sigmar! you ruined it! you have to wait at LEAST 15 mins! [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;) set a whole new record. LMAO. how about every cafe regular takes a new years resolution not to post in new cafes for at least 15 mins. rofl...

HAHAHA..nah, we're just on location at Animal's house...of course the bathroom fixtures may never be the same after Jerome finishes dancing on the sink or LoA has an accident or two.....but hey, we're in CANADA!!! :D

Cloudy is Queen!!!! You rock!

Okay, lot's crack open the Canadian beer, fry up some Candian Bacon, and have some fun!

hey cool! :D

Nice place this house that is Animal's...

Well, I've considered the LoA incident, and he's relegated to the outhouse! :D
But, heh, how many times is there a Cloudy's Cafe on location! This calls for a celebration!

[img]graemlins/kissy2.gif[/img] I want bacon,eggs and some orange juice, freshly squeezed, please... Oh wait, it's my Cafe...but we are in YOUR home, so you get to be the co-host for a while! LOL :D

*sits patiently while Animal squeezes grapefruits and then realizes he's got his citrus confused* ;) :D

<font color = aqua> Finally a cafe that's just around the corner. Just one question for you though Cloudy.... [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] ummm does Animal know what you did to his lawn, snow covered though it may be? </font>

WHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! New Cafe! New Cafe! And it's canadian themed! Woo-hoo! Note to self: Gotta lay off Azred's coffee. Well I just sent off my subsciption to Nintendo Power Magazine.I will now get my Metriod Prime T-shirt and magazines.And Metroid Prime for gamecube was one of the easiest game I have ever played because I have already beat it. [img]tongue.gif[/img] It was WAAAAAAAAAY to short.Should'a stuck with Tony Hawk 4...

HAHAHA You did it animal, now can i have a couple of beers and a beaver ? :D

Blasphemer!

Do not mock Metroid Prime...I suppose it's your opinion.

And Dragonsbanew no one told me about the 15 minute agreement :D

Bacon, eggs and orange juice coming up. Wait, I don't have any orange juice, how about some Molson Canadian?

Kegs out back. LoA is supposed to be showing up with the beavers. I gave him directions to get here, wonder if he got arrested at the border?

Blasphemer!

And since I only completed 67% of the game I did'nt get to see Samus' face! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

LOL, well, Canadianvixen, it's like this...we uh...we covered it back up with snow...hehe...so it looks real puuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrty for now... hehe...*giggles wildly* ;)

Hey everyone, the coffee's fresh and so is Animal! LOLOL Come on in and have a good chat!

Metroid...haven't played it, but Nacht swears it's the only reason to own a gamecube! :D

Actually the back yard is nice and green! No snow at all this season. Oh we got about 1mm last week, but it only lasted for a couple of hours.
I'm almost considering pulling out the lawnmower, the grass is getting a little on the long side. Probably shoudln't cut it in the winter anyway, might not grow again.
C'mon in, pull up a chair or sofa and enjoy yourself. Don't mind the vacuuming, I'll be done shortly. Only one rule. If one of the dogs stuffs a toy at you, you've got to throw it for him. (Just be careful where you grab it, most of the toys are a little slimy from dog drool.)

Nice work animal. Looks like the invasion is back in full swing. :D

Yep, although that pay off to Cloudy sure was expensive! :D

Weee it´s almost like home lol. Wouldn´t surprise me if Animal is stuck in BC on the other side of the country though. ;) Welcome to Canada folks. :D Remember to give your finger prints to the FBI when returning home LLAO! :D

Them silly Americans will do anything for money. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Hello, all! How is it that Canada has no snow, yet we're covered in it? Quite unfair.

We hardly have any up here in Saginaw.

Depends where in Canada you are. Like WillowIX said, I'm in BC on the west coast.

Time to go grocery shopping, so everyone be nice, and don't wreck my house.

Them silly Americans will do anything for money. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Nah, I did it for the Canadian bacon and having someone else do the vacuuming! LOL :D

Does this mean the Cafe is going to go on a long roadtrip? :D Where will it end up next? :confused: Now that is a good question.

Forget about food dude, just make sure there's plenty of booze to go around. :D

Not in this weather! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] But ya'll can stop by if you'd like. :D

Don't you hate when Lycos decides to refresh for a bit? Everyone's sig instantly turns into a little red X for like 12 hours straight [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color = aqua> I'm in AB and we have just a covering of snow at the moment. It was 6C today here though, practically summer! [img]smile.gif[/img]

@Animal - Glad to hear that you're all better now. Pass a Molsen please? </font>

If Animal's house gets to full you can always catch the plane to sunny Australia and come to my house ;)

I have a pool! :D

*Goes in Animal's bar and finds Beefeater Gin and Vermouth* Okay, here's a batch of Martinis comin' up. Olives or lemon peel?

Did someone say martinis? :D As a sophisticated drinker ( [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ), I prefer the olive. But I'll only have one, as there looks to be a lot of Canadian beer to drink still. :D

I'll have my martini James Bond style;

Shaken, not stirred [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Hands Attalus the dog's bowl for shaking drinks. :D

Hmmph, that is the only way that I make them. Fie on stirred Martinis and "people who say shaking "bruises the gin." ;) Thanks, Cloudy, but I'm using my old tried and true shaker that I have had for nearly thirty years.

How is everyone this fine, clear, cool morning? [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, but then how will the dogs try the martinis? :D

Doing ok, but had a bout of insomnia last night! Gonna try and get way more rest tonight, I'm running on fumes as it is. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

*Walks up to the molson brewery. And gets case* You know CV I use to be able to see it from my house. HEhehe
