I burned down the old one for the insurance money. Its ashes are somewhere in the depths of this board.

Thus, I open the new one with the money, and have enough left over to staff it with the finest in bartenders, bouncers, dancing girls, and alcoholic beverages.

GRAND RE-OPENING! Step right up and order. Applications for help are posted, so infer now! If you were a bouncer, bartender or etc. of the old one, feel free to step right back into place.

Short answer: Yes and Yes.

Long answer: Yes and No, because phase 2 doesn't exist.

Take your pick. And have a drink man, your too concerned with "Phase 2" Whatever that is

Need a money man in the back room? I'm an accountant.

Gotta make sure you get all the inflows, and the outflows go where they need to.

I'll work for beernuts and the right to occupy the stool closest to the bar access.

Application accepted?

grumpyolddude

I'll be the surly old curmudgeon at the far end of the bar. Keep my shooper filled and pour me a shot of Southern Comfort every now and again. Run a tab... I'll make good when I get my SSI check.

Bones, smells good... homegrown?

grumpyolddude

That might work, too! But the word was "shooper." Slang for a large, brandy-snifter type beer mug. Least-wise it is 'round here. Holds LOTS of your beverage of choice .

We need to check "shooker" in that urban dictionary. Maybe we have another "roilet" on our hands (eeewwww).

We don't need two accountants here. I guess you could work downstairs with Bones and the casino. Ask him if he needs a bookie to keep track of the cash flow.

Otherwise, you might just end up being the Custodial Engineer.

gov135

Thank you.

I will begin my work by laundering the money Bones is bringing upstairs. It's no good if you can't spend it!

Meridae'n could always help keep one set of the books (you need two sets after all - one "legit" set and one set that shows where the money actually goes.

YzermanS19

Certainly gov, Meridae'n is your assistant.

DRINKS AROUND!

Fremen

Glad to be on board, Stevie.

*To Do List*
1. Learn the piano. (essential!)
2. Figure out g-pods' song.
3. In the meantime, bring in player piano and hopes no one notices.
4. If all else fails, become "Custodial Engineer" and rule the roilets with an iron fist!

My first song for the new Inn.

"Burning Down The House"

"Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shape down Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's right Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set
Fighting fire with fire.."

Hmmm, maybe not the most perfect choice...

I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

SPOKEN: "Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go..."

(Instrumental Break)

Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, Lord!
Why don't we get drunk and screw

Nice sentiment, phil. leaves me all teary eyed. thanks.

(but still not the song I requested. If Fremen can play it, it could be the beginning of a beautiful freindship. Now I'm just GIVING it away.)

As Time Goes By...


Lyrics and Music by Herman Hupfeld;
© 1931 Warner Bros. Music Corp., ASCAP


"This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by."

Is this it, g-pod? After those broad hints, it has to be.

Thanks, barkeep! Fremen got it. Yeah, the hints were pretty broad: "play it...." the Vichy reference and the "beautiful freindship". I was getting close to whipping out, "Of all the gin joints..."

Phil, as always, you contributions are excellent and fit the mood of this bistro prefectly. How about a rendition of "Red Necks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer?" How many of these youngsters have even heard it?

REDNECKS, WHITE SOCKS AND BLUE RIBBON BEER
Johnny Russell


VERSE 1:
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer
The bar-maid is mad 'cause some guy made a pass
The juke box is playin' there stands the glass
And the cig-a-rette smoke kind-a hangs in the air
Red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer

VERSE 2:
A cow-boy is cus-sin' the pin-ball ma-chine
A drunk at the bar is get-tin' nois-y and mean
And, some guy on the phone says i'll be home soon dear
Red-necks white socks and blue rib-bon beer

CHORUS:
No we don't fit in with that white col-lar crowd
We're a lit-tle too row-dy and a little too loud
There's no place that I'd rath-er be than right here
With my red-necks white socks and blue rib-bon beer

VERSE 3:
The sem-is are pass-ing on the high-way out-side
The four thir-ty crowd is a-bout to ar-rive
The sun's go-in' down and we'll all soon be here
Red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer

REPEAT CHORUS:

TAG:
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red-necks, white socks and blue rib-bon beer
