Lola at the Coffee House, Cafe 101

Oh my gosh, they're still at it and George is stumbling around trying to find Eva who is holding the wine bottle up to her mouth, trying to get the last, luscious drip all to herself.

Stradee is riding bareback with that gorgeous centurion and Osso and I have been pawing through all the cupboards trying to find more wine while Dys is on the political threads baiting poor Larry.

Dys! Get yourself over here and bring me a trinket or two or three and some more of that wine and please, please, wear that bandana toga with your Tony Lama boots and your new Stetson and nothin' else but nekkid. Golly, cowboy, you look sooooo good. Never knew a skinny cowboy could have such sweeeeet cheeks.

yes dear.

Have you found any more wine yet? Well, keep looking!

Meanwhile, I think I will go back into the kitchen and see if I can find something to eat.

Dys, THAT was WONDERFUL LOL - blew me away.


But wait! Gotta go, Eva's heading for the kitchen.

George, I learned early that proper education in the USA is mostly a matter of training and not eduction. I have been trained.

Watching all the togas here, I might train for becoming an incunabulist.

Careful Walter. It's a tough crowd in here.

OK. I'll bite. What's an uncunabulist?

By the way - stay out of the kitchen.

I know about the folks here.

Therefor, I've been the complete weekend in the kitchen - you do know that there is a 'cuisine separée' here, do you?

Uncunabulist = one that makes a special study of incunabula.

Yes, incunabology, of course.

OK but no frosting Eva.



Go to hell!

I think I was in Cunabula once.

Eva, you must be older than I thought. I believe the time frame for cunabula was the 15th century.

Explains why I couldn't read the street signs, then.



Honestly! The one time I try to make a dys-type joke, and it falls flat.
<shaking head>

Yes - that's where we've met the first time.

And George is correct: Uncunabala really is a place like hell.

I've been had.

Thinking I need to go look up Incunabula but not in the mood...

Clearly Walter was taking about insect cocoons.

Or possibly he was referring to the possibility of regarding our guests in their early clothing (nothing like trying to cop a look through the sleeve of a toga.

Yeah, but there is an image I remember..
something maybe in science history... which I was most interested in, detail oriented, in my early days..
ah, nevermind it is all too vague. Probably because I skipped over it, and the why is another subject.





(hint - I am cumulatively, with afterthought, not at all spirtually inclined. My lack of remembering incunabula, except for the image, is probably part of that.)

Copping a look through the sleeve of a toga is one thing, but looking under swaddling clothes will just give you a glimpse of chubby little baby. Cute, but not what you had in mind, I'd bet.

Incunabula plus thirty years or so is more to my liking where centuruions are concerned....

I don't know........that baby might have been exceptional, Diane.........sorry to be away, I had to travel and now I'm home.........

Toga party! toga party! toga party!

But for now, I believe I'll retire to my manger....

and george.........are you the tool belt guy everyone keeps referring to? What sort of frosting are you into? Or is that Walter? Joe? Dys? Shameful behavior around here............keep up the good work all.
