I'll gladly mix up whatever cocktail you all would like. One need only to ask and it shall be done.

Careful there, you're costume is hanging into the condiments.

Mel said...

But of course, madam!

*hands over the suntea*

Got new ones as a prezzie---ain't they cool!?!

As I'm sure you know, nothing one says with a drink in hand can be held against that individual come the morning.

In that spirit, may I offer the following excerpt from our good friends at Wikipedia:

"Birthday spanking
There is a custom in certain circles to administer spankings to the buttocks of the birthday celebrant. Customarily, the person receives the number of smacks corresponding to his or her age, plus "one to grow on", often harder than the rest, and sometimes a "pinch to grow an inch"."

see, this is why I don't really drink, and when I do I make sure I stop before I say anything I might regret later. . .

sorry, not my thing at all! (well, I'm not sorry at all)(force of habit, one I'm trying hard to get out of)

now, the bumps I could do. . . but we'll need some kind of large rug for that. . . where's craig's magic carpet gone?

Pardon me, but I just had an absinthe and spent far too much time talking to Charles about the physics of door opening and closing... Woah! that stuff packs a punch. C:)

I, Like The View said...

he's great, isn't he? I knew you'd get on!

I had a very strange afternoon, one hot summer's day, sometime in my mid to late teens (I can't quite recall), drinking absinthe in the garden of one of my French pals. . .

or maybe it was strange because of the absinthe. . .

perhaps you should catch a lift back with Caractacus when it's time to go home? (not yet tho, we still haven't even made eye contact

;-)

I was in the kitchen trying to find you, only I then learnt you were by the door chatting to Charles - where have you gone now?)

Sorrow said...

you just keep going honey. . . that sun tea makes everyone shine! (noone noticed,, but when mel brought it over I swapped the contents of everything else with it

craig is blaming the absinthe, but actually it's just sun-tea!!

hee hee hee

Mel said...

Ah HA!

<--- noticed...LOL

Party on, dearheart....LOL

More duckie ice? Or are you good to go?

I, Like The View said...

more ice, please! I like ice, in my view one can never have too much ice in a drink. . .

(remember those French dudes last summer who threw it out? what was that all about!)

You can keep the pitcher when were through.

I, Like The View said...

Mel said...

SUNTEA!!!!!!

Sun Tea? Looks good to me.

I brought half-a-dozen bottles of Orkney Skullsplitter (named after Earl Thorfinn the Skullsplitter - nice guy). It's very strong (well, duh!) and I wsuspect it's what made the Vikings so grumpy about every thing.

Sorry, I know I'm late, look at me as the awkward guest who just won't leave.

I, Like The View said...

hey, no need to apologise. . . 'specially since you've brought some booze!

you're not late, and you're not leaving either! (not until Charles and Caractacus get their acts together)(and Charles is currently fishing popcorn out of the pool, and Caractacus is making sure every pays full attentions to the "do not disturb" sign on one of the cupboards. . .)(but he's doing it in a really subtle way)
