Lola at the Coffee House

Spendius: Never heard of it. I just used to wink at the ladies. I'm retired from that useless game now. Fancy taking Viagra to restore the millstone round your neck that Nature so compassionately relieved you of.
Joe Nation : Well, as we used to say at the dinner table when one of us passed on having a second piece of pie, MORE FOR US! Could I get a refill of this Scotch?

Joe(No. No water, no soda, no ice. Thanks)Nation

I ain't ever even seen a Viagra pill fm.

Why did what I said inspire to say that I seemed like a user? What convoluted reasoning enabled you to arrive at such an idea from what I said? Which had nothing to do with anything except common sense.

It is common sense that Nature relieved us men of the burden under consideration at a certain point.

It is Science which has restored it to our shoulders by an artificial trick which I can tell by my clairvoyance you approve of.

Good for you Joe. Keep up the good work. We are all very proud of you.

Why do you do all this masochistic jogging? Not trying to pretend you are not a shagged out old has-been are you by any chance.

I think I'd like to check out that place with you, Beth.
As you know, I'd like to check out Toronto at length after I win the lottery. Sometimes your posts about it bring me envy waves, but mostly I'm really glad you post all that, with photos to boot.

Spinach pie, my kind of food.

Not to mention olives.

No, brother, it helps me get girls.

Let me buy you a drink.

Joe(in any other bar you would have had your face punched by now)Nation

Too fuuny Spendi.

Set ain't no Canadian. You know that O'george.

Ice(Just give me the word, and I'll break his knees with my louisville slugger... it's more permanent than a broken nose)Demon

For some reason love these Irish songs. I guess they make everybody cry and I'm no exception. It must be my Irish roots.

You're very welcome edgar. I'm so glad to be home. Although I love uptown NYC, I missed my Cafe friends.

Thanks Hamburboy. Wassau is giggling with delight over this one. Perfect for Wassau, Sybil and the Cafe.

Serena doesn't know what to think however. She's a little young for such stuff. Actually, it sort of scared her when she read that the father threatened his daughter with prevention of marriage. Once again we see how the old or established are frightened of the new, stimulating and exciting. Such is the way of life.

giggle..........but we were..............or they were talking about the ocean and boats and ships and horizons and stuff. I think Frank just got a little carried away.

This pleases Lola on her return to the Cafe. Thanks you Spendi.

Well you are welcome realjohnboy. Wassau can handle the cane problem, but the battery operated cart will have to stay at Kroger. I drove one of those things around Home Depot last Summer. It was interesting to see the people run for cover when I turned down the isle. It was fun though.

I hope your feel better soon. Like O'george, I would like to know what happened to you?

I don't believe you spendi.

I'm trying to win the lottery too, osso. If we win........or I should say when, we can go visit Beth and she can take us to the olive place.

Thanks, btw, Beth for looking in on the place while I was uptown. Wassau must have been sitting on the back step drinking his cup of coffee while you were in.

I had a great visit to NY. I stayed in a hotel across from the Museum of Natural History and took the cross town 79th street bus to the East side for my meetings. They were excellent, for everyone's information. I'm delighted and full of hope for my plans based on the meetings of which I can't tell much in concrete terms, but suffice it to say that I'm happy.

Thank God for my Cafe friends. I'm so happy to be home among you all. The deep sea and the great ships that navigate them, fun men who do and don't take Viagra, vonny who just discovered the place, Rockhead and his occasional one liners........Frank and his love of Tico, O'George and his love of Spendi and the sea and everything Irish, of course, and Set.......... and his love of his girl dogs and knowing so much about everything under the sun ...........and Beth and osso with their attention to delicious food and fine music and Jonathon, uh, I mean Joe Nation, who I already mentioned re: the big V pill..........and McTag who is rightly concerned about the condition of our environment and the appearance of Hamburgboy and his Bach Coffee music and fm with his goats and ships and knowledge about rocks and every other thing in the world along with the other learned men of the Cafe..........I just love rocks and Merry Andrew, um who did write that line about "the great grey mother of us all?" Swinburne? and Izzy, Tico and McTag, I think that "deep-sixed" chairman got fired by his board, that's what I think .............and ..............and ............and...........

Good to be home.

This is what I thought was so funny. The other quote was funny too, but it was from goergeob from before I left..........oh well. Just so you know.

And hello Walter. Good to see you hanging out too.

Good to have you back Lola. I think we and this place really need you.

ahhh, it's early yet in California, I see.
