Lola at the Coffee House

Sure, recipe please!

I get my wedges from the lost and found crap we throw away at the end of each year. Wedges get lost more than any other club...and if you allow them to accumulate, there'd be no room for anything else.

Buy???

That is for the suckers who pay inflated prices for beer in pubs.

I have a whole set of golf clubs and a big leather bag I bought at a yard sale many years agho. Ithink I paid 5 bucks for the whole load. The bag was great for garden tools

Hey, I use the shafts of clubs all over the place in my garden and yard. Golf club shafts are almost as useful as duct tape. And as a tandem...they are perfection in action.

I still have a wood and the putter and I believe its the 7 iron . I use the putter to knock apples off a tree.
I made a snake stik out of the 7 iron.

Here are some of my golf club shafts out near the pond...ready for action as soon as the warmer weather moves in.

ou got an alligator farm over there in Joisey? Or are those fences to keep deer or bear out?

Are you one of those guys whose always out getting newest and greatest clubs? or are thoise flung clubs that some idiot tossed?

That's the worst trampoline I've ever seen.

The pond:

Are those the goldfish that suck your finger if you put it in the water?

All of those fish will come over to be touched and to nibble at your finger. They are as curious as cats. We often find one of the neighborhood cats sitting at the edge of the pond watching the fish. Luckily, cats hate the feel of water. The netting around the pool and some strings I have rigged are to keep herons and egrets out. We've already had one disaster...I do not want another.

Are they alright outside during the winter months?

Yup.

That last picture was from a couple years ago...and they have lived outside right along. I do keep a small heater in the pond...but that just eliminates the ice from a small section. It doesn't actually heat the water. They do the fish equivalent of hibernation.

Gosh...this is like being in a coffee house with friends and sharing photos from the wallet!

I doubt this is the case, Matt.

They are beautiful - are they goldfish or Koi Carp?

More false information has been given out. I overheard a very foolish individual (see picture) opine that beer in pubs has an inflated price and that only suckers buy it.

In actual fact the price of beer is very low as one might expect from a cursory study of how it is made and distributed. Levies are added to the price in the form of taxes and upkeep of the salons in which it is consumed. Just as they are to cups of coffee served by Washup who must be on $60,000 a year to avoid being an affront to the dignity of the clientele. Plus there needs be sufficient left over to justify the investment our gallant proprietoress has made. A "no frills" cup of coffee is probably 1/10th the price charged in here and thankfully so because otherwise we would not have the benefit of such an intellectually charged atmosphere as we are privileged to enjoy and participate in.

All pub drinkers are notoriously well aware of these additions to the price of beer and accept them, because of the benefits which accrue from them.

In the case of the taxes the alcohol duty goes a significant way to pay for a free to all at the point of delivery health service and if at any time the boozer is in need of such a service his investment is returned and often with significant interest. It is similar to health insurance but in the case of beer the middlemen are a higher class of persons.

In the case of the upkeep of the salon the situation is even more obvious, it not being at one remove, and runs from the availability of clean conveniences for the removal of excremental material without fore or afterthought, through plush carpets, discreet lighting and comfortable seating arrangements, to being abled to gawp down the cleavage of respectable, concupiscent barmaids of a refined and estimable disposition.

The disposition of the paving flags in the garden, the failure to remove the cheap building block from the composition, to avoid our aesthetic sense of composition being gratuitously affronted, and the arrangement of the golf clubs speaks volumes for the foolishness of the silly sod who foolishly expatiated on the price of beer presumably having foolishly assumed he was addressing a bunch of complete idiots.

And on the principles outlined in Veblen's masterpiece on the nature of the higher classes the fool goes out of his way, in stressing the importance of bargain, rock-bottom prices, to emphasise his membership of the lowest and most materialistic class and, bearing in mind that golf is a fairly conspicuous vehicle for displaying the abilty to sustain long-term pecuniary damage, the most foolish.

It is an irony of our civilisation, on a par with that of rumpy-pumpy, that a fevered search is underway from coast to coast, from sea to shing sea, day in and day out, in a never ending circle of absurdity, for the means to display the ability to sustain pecuniary damage at bargain prices.

And it must not be forgotten that beer contains a magical ingredient and what government worthy of the name would not take advantage of a substance like that to not only raise revenue for a good cause but to make sure that those who paid it in were assured of an ambience from which the skint and the downtrodden are priced off the scene. One might see in some of Hogarth's pictures the effects of cheap alcohol and only a fool would implicitly praise such scenes by labeling those who pay a great deal for it as "suckers" when they not only get at the magical ingredient but are also displaying that most sought after characteristic of having the ability to sustain pecuniary damage.

Maybe I'm just a little grouchy today.

I asked once, either by reporting or using the contact us link, and a mod said copying something from the internet is not actually considered plagiarism, which I had thought it was if sans attribution. It's damned annoying though.
I'm sans understanding of why people who copy ehow or other sites do it, except a) I think some of them don't speak english well but want to get credit somehow somewhere for posting. It's also been posited that it's an ehow (etc.) ploy to get more people to look at their sites, but I don't see how that could work, am tech dumb.
b) the ones who copy what one of us said, perhaps earlier in the same thread, really burn my toast.


Oops, I should have read all of the posts before going on and on in this one, Set's post in particular.

If you would just have kept silent after Frank dinged you, it would now all be over. However, instead of looking as you had hoped...ie, A sage humorist, you appear more a petulant little boy with a drinking problem and a need to justify it to people who dont give a **** about your personal vices.

Lovely. I wish I had one of these. Maybe Wassau will make one in the cafe backyard. We once had a tree house out there. When it warms up, we'll see.
