Lola at the Coffee House

On the game, Lola, I am interested in a bunch of people on both sides.

I like kaepernick for his brains past the obvious great physique. I don't even like tattoos, but I like him. He is easily as religious as Tebow, but he doesn't prima dona with it, much.

I also like Flacco, who has suffered much as an observed dullard.

Oh boy! All my friends. This is cheery. Look out over there on the couch, limit of 5, 4 if with Marmalade.

Wassau, bring the crumpets and please explain, if you will what they are and who you are. georgeob hasn't met you. (Look out of Wassau, if someone wants to make too much trouble. He's the boss.)

The place has been ungodly quiet for a long time, George. I think I went into hybernation and Wassau just sat and looked out the window for the last several years.

So glad to be back. Now, I'll dust while Wassau gets your drinks and we watch the game. I hope it's not depressing.

(Turning on the TV) But, oh wait, there's Setanta, wandering around on the corner again. I'll go an get him. But what is that he's wearing on his head?

He just found out what a crumpet was, and decided it would make a swell wig.

OK so far. Ravens 7 49ers 3.

I'll watch for the players. I wish someone would find a way to make me care about this game. The bodies are good, but I fear from the brains.

So that's what Set has on his head?
A crumpet? (Standing at the door, calling out) Set, get in here............Oh no, now where's he going?

I'm sure it was. Like George, I'm a bit hazy on the whole crumpet concept.

That's not a crumpet, roger, it's a pikelet. Or is it a turtle?

Set, get that pikelet off your head and get in here. You can sit in your favorite place here at the table by the window.

Roger, wanna pikelet with marmalade?

I'm only visiting if it's a café hookah. So is it a coffee and hookah house?

Crumpets are basically delicious, especially sweeped with butter, oh, gawd. Only place I know around here to buy them is at Kellers, the butcher firm, near Albertson's and Jack and Rascals Pet Store.

I've considered trying to make them, which I take as easy enough, but I don't have the right forms, probably available at willams sonoma across town.

Wassau, please direct Bennet to the hookah corner. And serve him/her a yummy buttery crumpet with jelly (marmalade is all out, the folks on the sofa have been eating it with a spoon).

Ah, excellent. I'll be sure to bring a reading companion with me.

Did I hear somebody say they were bringing strumpets?

(Damn hearing aid is buzzin' again.)

Setanta is either wearing a pikelet (small fish?) on his head, or a turtle. I wonder what he does when noone is watching.

The strumpets are in the other corner, Frank, across from the hookah. And yes, it may be a turtle on Set's head...............no, no, it's maybe one of those strumpets.

Well, the lights are out at the Super Bowl. All that money to remodel and look what happens.

Hot chocolate anyone?

What's with this obsession about what Setanta has on his head? This is Greenwich Village, folks, and people can wear whatever they damn' well please. I remember one time seeing a man in Sheridan Sq., right at the entrance to the Lion's Head (this was back in the days when the Clancy Bros. used to hang out there). He was wearing a regulation Scots' kilt, a pair of fancy-stitching cowboy boots and spurs on the boots.

A strumpet on Set's head? No big deal.

True enough. And if he ignores her, she'll probably go away.

Assuming he can ignore her.

Hey! Where's ehBeth?

She's flipping pancakes..
