Wow! This place beats the hell out of **Colfire’s** pub! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a sexy barmaid. Thank you, love. I _would_ like a bit of tequila. No, don’t bother dirtying a shot glass. The bottle will do nicely. ---

**ChrisP** , This is a friendly little warning between gentlemen. I was here first and I don’t take kindly to competition – especially when I’m full of tequila. If I could get up off the floor, I’d kick your ass. ---

While Tymp is lying in that puddle of Tequila on the floor praying for osmosis, I thought I should inform you that I’ve seen Tymp dance, and I doubt you understand the peril to which you will be subjecting your toes with such inquiry. Oh! Hey Tymp! Do ya mind sharing that bottle? Mmmm, I thought so. Another bottle of Tequila for me, please. ---
