I may not have been a Scotch man before (normally drink Irish whiskey), but this...this is beautiful! No payment is necessary for coffee, but thank you!

*gently cradles the bottle as he seeks out glasses; pours two*

Care to join me?

*drinks*

Slainte!



Holding until you get back, Captain.

Might as well help with the pronounciation, eh?

Egg'-aid-shage-ed reh. (Helps if ya rolls the "r" a bit).

*Notices that Serenity is still a bit pillowless, and recommends SR as an equally fine alternative to lmd.*

Coffee & single malt scotch. Add in these fine peeps, and maybe a basil pesto pasta dish, and all is as right with the world as can be.

"Egg-aid-shage-ed-reh"...alright, think I go it!

I can offer myself as a pillow as well, as long as whoever uses me allows me to refresh my coffee every now and then.

I was inspired by PhoenixRose to seek out new icons!



Holding until you get back, Captain.

Roman Bartender: Don't you mean a martini

Detective: If I wanted two I'd have ordered two.

It's definitely lower in Germany, haha. I'd almost go so far as to say if you can reach the bar, you can drink.

I was living over then when I turned 18. On American military bases overseas you can drink at the age of 18. I remember going out to eat on my 18th birthday and my parents forcing me to have a beer. I didn't even finish it (i was against alcohol until almost the age of 21...women).

Yay! 21!! Now if I could only speed up time to December.

Well then, drinks all around I say. Make mine a Martinus.


Well, I don't know what that is, but as long as you're not going to throw it at me I'd love to know!
I see you've returned from your evil and magical disappearance.
(Maybe I should have looked a little closer before I asked what a Martinus was. I know a kid named Martinus... sorry, just a random little fact.)


Wacky fun!
