See yon thread called Introductions? Stick your head in there, do the roll call thing in shout out, and then give critique to get 'em, dig? The come back here for coffee, adult beverages, and other frolics, some adult, and some not so adult.

Nice day out there, not too hot, not too cold.

Party cake
get a new box of saltines crackers, unopened as they must be crisp
food coloring of choice, I prefer a mixture of colors
powdered sugar
water
in several small cups mix sugar, water and color to make sugar slips, watery surup
spoon on crackers
swirl liquid with tooth pick if using several colors
move carefully to clean plate
chill and serve once congealed to a party of people

Well, after reading that menu. I know have a full stock of terrible things to do to my players next time they try to seduce a barmaid.

It has been almost 11 years since I first walked into The Coffee Shop, on June 21, 2006. I still love to write. Been published in a psychology magazine and a health. Now I express my writings by putting them into 2D RPGs.

That is useful. Now I know not to order anything. How about some live entertainment at least?

When I'm cleaning windows in winter
Numb stupid red fingers slopping cloth across glass
water running down my elbows oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh
At least it pays better than being a writer.
That it?

Didn't sound like George Formby, but yeah, you're hired.
Payment's in cookies. Sweep the stage before you lock up, ok?

Oh no, I'm way worse than George Formby. I can't put you through that again.
I may be penniless but I'm rich in integrity.
Hey, how about performance poetry - I suck at that too but maybe someone else around here could have a bash before choking on the batwing coffee
