Hanns Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Originally posted by Seanachai Actually, isn't Donovan's over on Hennepin? The Local has an incedible selection of Scotch (no not that OGSF pillock, the good stuff) that reads like a dictionary. One of my friends used to bartend there but quit recently. Feh, paying regular price for drinks. Although Brit's Pub has a nice selection of UK beers and a bevy of attractive women, the food is typically British (e.g. crap). Nothing like boiled pees to ruin an imperial pint of Guinness. The only thing I can remember about Donnavan's is a drink called the "Dirty Girlscout". Note that it does not contain girls or scouts (nor Scots for that matter) but has Bailey's, Creme de Menth and Goldschlager I believe. It's been a while but they tasted good at the time. Glüeks is the oldest bar in Minneapolis and has excellant beer (litres of Glüeks Dark are something like $2.50 during Happy Hour). Combine that with the unusual food menu selection (Mmmmm..... Chicken Diablo with Portabello mushrooms and Habenero chipolte mayonnaise) or the deepfried Reuben eggrolls. Lyons Pub has a decent selection of beer, the food is good and I happen to know almost everyone that works there. I still know a few people at First Ave. but it's gone downhill in the past couple of years (Salsa Night anyone?). Other than that there is the Smiling Moose in uptown along with The Black Forest and Little Tijuana's. Aquavit in the Crystal Court downtown has great afterwork drink specials and the 8th St. Grill has decent prices and buffalo burgers. Sorry to sound like a City Pages bar guide but I do live in downtown and know it quite well. Since the Olde and Incontinent Ones sound like they prefer spoon feedings and nap time to actually having fun I won't mention the obvious. Maybe they'd enjoy Boom!, I heard they cater to the sophistication and pamperign that they are used to. Ever yours in Bastardom, Hanns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But GOOD GOD, man, didn't you have PARENTS??? That's not a drink, it's like running the kids' trick-or-treat bag through the blender. A frickin' Mai-Tai umbrella would fold up and retract rather than be seen in such puerile trash.

Seanachai Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Alroight! Glad to see that interest is beginning to manifest in the Twin Cities. Minnesota CMers: Berli and Peng will be in town Sunday 10/20, and around until Thursday or so. I return from the hell that is the American South on Saturday, 10/19. Dalem, Lars, Shandorf, etc. Contact Berli and Peng about meeting. Also, I can be reached via my work email, which I will send you toads so we can make some arrangements.

Joe Shaw Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Loooorrrrraaaaakkkkkkk! Oh ... GAWD, I'm so ... so ... so ... TESTY! There, I said it and I'm glad, BTS can ban me if they like but sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Bauhaus ... I can hardly stand to type his foul name ... HAS SURRENDERED to me! So why is that a bad thing? Because this was a GRUDGE match damnit. After he won our first game with The Luckiest Turn in CM History I demanded satisfaction and we embarked on some gawd-awful Bulge THING. So he sends his KTs up the only road where they promptly get popped by a combo of ATGs and 'zooks, meanwhile he sends his halftracks through the ONLY opening in the woods to the side where my 76mm ATG just has a field day with them. Finally he tries to send his infantry through the woods between the two forces just as my 60mm mortars get the range. So there he is, KT's strewn ALL over the one road, halftracks dead and burning in the pass and his infantry dying in bushel loads in the woods ... and he quits ... BECAUSE he's getting burned out on CM! Because it's not as much fun any more! Because work is getting nasty and he doesn't have the time! Oh sure he DID say "I don't have much of a chance." But then he qualifies it with the rest of the crap. Okay, fine for you Bauhaus but come CM2 ... WE TANGLE! Lorak: I take leave from my normal policy of ignoring wins in CM ... this was, after all, a matter of HONOR. Joe Shaw: Tactical brilliance justly rewarded with a MAJOR victory of 93 points BUT negated in part by Bauhaus' refusal to acknowledge it. Bauhaus: Oh ... just sit down ... 7 points.

Gyrene Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I'll need to pipe in here and given an "Amen Brother" to Mark IV's accurate description of the waitress at Shakespeare's. She was good. Also, she didn't seem too freaked out by our talk of artillery and Japanese military history. Maybe she's used to geeks; the same cannot be said for the other customers, I think some of them were thinking of calling the FBI. Anyway, as were you were, carry on with your grab-assing or tea party or whatever it is you do here. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you had mentioned a useless wank like Heinleinmeinkleinebein but not the greatest (at least the most confused and insane) of all sf writers, pkd, only goes to show that you, and I do mean all of you, are idiots. I mean, which part of FEH! don't you understand? Only an idiot would think that Heini belonged in the same sentence as "the greatest sf writer ever".
