She wasn't referring to pot. I think she was afraid of saying the word alcohol.

Well, we can't be serving alcohol in an establishment with minors, now can we? So we have tea and "tea".
I'm sorry for your loss, Sane. *huggles* How are you?

Wtf? What do you mean the Teacup doesnt serve booze? The skybar, the drinking competitions, the sophisticated mixing of delicate cocktails for patrons inumerable and long since gone is what made this dumb thread go for fourty some damn iterations. Its roots were soaked in booze from getgo, and that was back when this board actually had minors and some life to it! This was the place where young mooters had their first taste of champagne, or cider or ale after a good debate or a rousing rpg! Where saplings became elflords while sipping their tipple of choice! Or have you forgotten?
The dance parties, the champagne flowing from bottles rare and priceless... the banter amidst cocktails and good food and friendship. Those echoes are the only damn reason I'm moping around in this haunted ghost town of a place! So, none of this prohibition nonsense, if you please; my reasons for visiting here are slim enough as it is. I don't want to disown the Teacup for insulting its own memory. Bah! *Rips off sheets from the bar. Blows off dust from the once crystal glittering shelves, with dusty forgotten bottles and fading lables. And mixes herself a whisky sour for old times' sake. Saluting the mirror infront of her, behind the old bar.*

No kidding; shame that the facebook page is even more dead than here.

Do we need a bartender, then? I'm sure it's likely that whoever was filling that role in the old times has long-since abandoned their post.
It's not that I'm fearful of the word "alcohol" (although I do abstain). It's just... it's called the Teacup. Not the Boozecup.

I just saw Sane's post about her friend - Sane, I'm so sorry to hear that! Good friends are priceless. May your wonderful memories be a comfort to you in the days to come.

Thanks Rian. I'm still devastated at his loss. He was a truly great man and my dearest of friends. He showed me kindness and had faith in me when I had none. He was a selfless, generous and fundementally GOOD soul. The sort of decent people that are so rare as to almost be myth. His loss left a gaping hole in the hearts of those that loved him and robbed the community here of a pillar that held it fast. I miss him.

This summer a gecko got into my apartment. I chased it but it hid behind a chair and I couldn't get it. Attalus says they eat bugs and if it gets a wasp or a roach we should give it a nice juicy moth

Funny how the moment I can't reach the 'moot for days, I suddenly feel the need to try and get in several times a day. Anyone else having problems? Or is it all a ploy to get me away and raid my secret chocolate stash? *suspicion, suspicion* |
