Originally posted in the BBQ Pit, 1797 > [@SamuelTC](#): > > My physician had prescribed a rest for my constitution, as it has been fraile of late. I chose to spend the last week in a little place called Porlock (are there any Porlock Dopers here?). Unfortunately the fish and chips were a little underdone, and I developed a case of… how shall I say it tastefully?.. Cromwell’s revenge. Seeking to comfort myself, I reached for the opium pipe. > > [dysclaimer]Opium is a stronge and dangerous medycine, and should not be lightly considered by children, or by women of delicate constitution. I hope this satisfyes the overbearing moderators. :rolleyes: [/dysclaimer] > > Suddenly I had a most strange and wondrous vision in my dreame. Hundreds of lines sprange from my minde, and I had only to capture them and put them to quill and paper. I had already written fifty or so lines, and was eagerly contemplating the structure of this magnificent poem, when there came a knock at the door. > > I answered the door, in a rush to return to my work, and there I beheld a shabby little man. He asked me if I was satisfied with the efficiency of my long distance messenger delivery, and if I would be interested in changing my affiliation to another service. Presumably his. :rolleyes: I tried to get him to hurry his business, even quoted my poem to him to make him understand, but to no avail. He stayed for over an hour. > > By the time I returned to my work, my minde was in a disarray, and I could not continue. I may publish what I managed to write before this little man ruined my poem, but I do consider it to be unfinished… > > Long distance messenger service! **Pish!** I got your long distance messenger service right here! ::grabs crotch:: Posted later in the same BBQ Pit thread, also 1797 > [@JoeyfromPorlock](#): > > :o Oops. That was me. Sorry. > > Xanadu? Kubla Khan? It really wasn’t that good. Stupid git. ---

In the BBQ Pit on Dec. 1st, 1955 - **I pit the black lady who raised a fuss on the bus and made me late for work!** : > [@](#): > > I almost lost my job as a night custodian for being so late to work tonight. But I was only late because some black lady wouldn’t move her seat, and held up the bus. I mean Jeez! She wouldn’t get out of her seat and they had to get the POLICE to come in and eject her. The bus must have been stalled for an hour! Look, I’m not prejudice, but rules are rules and you gotta obey them! I mean you just can’t change the way the world works! From the Cafe Society, circa 1958: > [@](#): > > Rock & Roll?? Puh-leeezze! Get with the times, man. Rock & roll is history. The Bossa Nova’s what the hepcats are grooving to now. From the Cafe Society, June 14th, 1967 - **Anybody want to going to the big Monterey festival want to meet up?** : > [@](#): > > Let’s plan on meeting early Sunday evening for dinner. The schedule for performers says there are a few no-name bands playing then - ‘Jimi’ whoever and another one of those damn hippie bands from 'Frisco - ‘Big Brother’ or whatever. We can skip those loser acts, hang out for a while and get back in time to see the Mamas & the Papas close the festival! From the Cafe Society, Dec. 4th, 1969 - **Who’s going to the free Rolling Stones concert in SF?** : > [@](#): > > It’s gonna be groovier than Woodstock! They’ve got a bunch of bands opening for them like the Airplane and the Dead. It’ll be a great way to end this most awesome of decades, man. Just remember, they changed the location - it’s not going to be held in Golden Gate Park, but at the speedway just outside of town. ---
