Space bar order from the Netherlands

Post by nl07695 » December 30th, 2009, 3:21 am

Hi Jane,

Here is the virtual space bar order from the Netherlands. We would like to order both a Horny Margarita.
We had a couple of them new years eve in Puerto Vallarta back in 2007. Damn those were good!!! However they will make you do strange things.... propose to your (future) wife or so...
So kids don't try this at home :wink:

Crikey....I'll have one of those..a black and tan. I must confess to enjoying stout and would even go as far as to say we have (one of) the best in the world..Coopers Extra Stout! :wink:

Thanks Jane, chalk me up for one of those........but only one; doesn't the rowing challenge start on 1 January? :shock:

Cheers big ears!

Drink Orders

Post by Calamity » December 30th, 2009, 2:44 pm

Thanks to those who have posted or sent me drink orders so far - the bar is still open for orders. I have secured the services of Guinan for tomorrow night - so we are in good shape.

Hi Jane,

If it isn't too late, can I please have (a few... I promise I am not driving!) Lagavulin single malts with water?
I will be hanging out near the band in the Tatooine Cantina... can't get enough of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes and that crazy kloo horn sound!

Cheers and Happy New Year everyone!! :D B) :D

Jane, thanks for offering to take over the bar. I didn't even get around to asking Keith to do it yet, so it is perfect to have you step in.

I'd like to order a frozen Mud Slide, but you have to throw in a whole slice of Mud Slide ice cream pie in the blender with it. I had one of these at a restaurant in CA once, but can't remember if it had a special name with the pie thrown in.

Welcome to the team, Gloria and Jurn! Hope to see you posting here. Jump right in!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! :D I am joining the team, and my hubby, Rich, has agreed to be my coach. I will work hard to add to the moon meters. Tomorrow I'm going to try the Blue Moon Challenge, very appropriate for this team, although it's more than twice what I've ever done before in one day.

Gloria, you will probably find that you row more than you ever dreamed you would....it seems to happen with this team! Just take it a meter at a time!

And Happy New Year ....fireworks over Sydney Harbor !!
