Hey everyone.....

Dutchy has asked me to come onboard here... no idea what to say BUT...

he is really sorry, no joking, really no joking, but he has been called away.

He was set, with a glass charged in his hand (lemon soda, but hey, it's early there)... but VISITORS have shown up...

now, you woulda thought the whole WORLD knew this was about to happen, but obviously not the VISITORS

so, he is gutted that he can't be here right this minute and will get back as soon as he can.

He is absolutely gutted and apologises to everyone who's been waiting for him....

He will be back as soon as poss.

(sorry)

nooooooo
not now


what to do
what to do

Oy, Joe won't be able to hold the Margarita

By the time Dutchy comes back, we probably won't be able to count
any longer, Izzie

Alas, we wait......!!!

Have another one, Joe!!

Salute!

Let's have a drink a?

To absent friends................ gosh, ya havta laugh at that

He's just torturing us.

This extravagant cake seems not just right.







Will keep looking.

In a way.


He just knocks his heels together, wearing these:






and says "There's no place like home".......and voila!!!! He's in Kansas now, after all.

I guess I may as well start in that free sampler 6-pack of Brahma Beer I picked up yesterday.

I quite like the look of one of these....

Here's a quiet little cake, which I bet is perfect. Something about almonds.








Well, never mind images. I hope you understand, Dutchy, that we love you dearly.

If the Brahma Beer was free,



you still paid too much.


Joe(you a bunch of lushs )Nation

ps didn't found the triple sec...decided just to drink Mex-Tex style.....

pour some tokillamockingbird inna glass.

Drink it.

Shake your head.

Nahhh, the bartender was right.

If the Brahma's very cold, it's quite tasty. He explained that as it's a Brazilian beer, it's formulated to be enjoyed colder than most beers we're used to. Kinda odd to have two bartenders recommend a beer not on offer in their establishment - but they both said it was good - but only if slightly iced.

Mebbe this one tastes good as it's icy and I'm using my ultra-fancy, ultra-expensive (on EBay, not in real life) Braseeeeeeelian beer stein.

neh mind all of us... where's our boy?

Brasilians have beer steins? Could you take a picture, ehbeth?

A data recovery specialist found 37 previously uncounted posts that Dutchy made on March 14 when A2K had that 12 hour shutdown.
