**Euty** Uke, there is something **TubaDiva** never told about your father. **Uke** She told me enough. She told me you murdered him. **Euty** Uke, I am your father. **Uke** That’s not true! That’s impossible! **Euty** Join me and we can moderate a new forum. **Uke** Cool! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Briminator \* > \*\*yeah but he is wearing the paper hat that says “trainee” \*\* As if! Proper headgear for a noir kinda cafe moderator is a soft gray felt fedora or a captain’s hat (like in _Casablanca_ and _To Have and Have Not_), or a beret with a ponytail and dark glasses if it’s more a beat mood and they have to keep the peace when the poetry slams get raucous. Maybe **Euty** and **Uke** can trade off. Anyway, I couldn’t let the grand opening go by without saying thank you–this is my kinda thing and I’m geeked.🙂 So **Uke** , how about getting me a slug of 151 in a bone china teacup so thin you can see light through the little blue primroses around the lip, and maybe an order of madelines and, oh yeah, I do want frites with that. I’ll eat at the bar so I can hear the witty reparte, thanks. ---
