Stray Cat's Bistro...Now Under New Management

I like it myself. I would get one that would look like a pink scoop of ice cream with cherries. Then I can say, lick me I am sweet, and I can cool your fire. If they ask osso, where is the beef, she can say, in the buns.

<knocks at door>

<realizes no one is coming, opens door and walks in>

Hello? Is anyone here? I need to speak with Stray Cat. It's important. I need a favor from her.

Ladies and Gentlemen I had a request to give a special tribute to a very loved member of A2K, blue blood, and able lawyer.


Lordie in pursuit of TLC on his holiday







Look at the leg and foot work ladies and gentlemen, a real pro.





From what I hear he is planning to start a school soon. Only Lordie knows if it's true, and when, and where the school will be located.



What a natural talent!

Hello Eva, welcome, I was doing a little work.

Ahh! Osso looks cute in her burger-mobile!

Now listen up, everyone! In honor of everyone in New Orleans, and Florida, who's had to suffer thru Katrina -- which sounds like one of the strippers at Kicky's place -- we're gonna serve "Hurricanes" this evening -- a famous drink in New Orleans!!

So, while you're sipping your Hurricane -- say a little prayer for all the people there!!

Hit it boys! (jazz band plays New Orleans style jazz)

Wonder where ol' Gus is? Doesn't he live in a swamp? Is his swamp in Florida -- or Louisiana? Wonder if he made outta there o.k.?

Hi Stray Cat

Hello, Stray Cat!

Congratulations on opening your own place! Wow, for only being open four days, you certainly have drawn a crowd! I see a lot of people here I know!

Listen, I need a favor. As one proprietor to another. I have given my sommelier and chef two weeks off for vacation...they've been working nonstop for six months, can you believe it?!...and I was wondering...

Could you send over some food while they're gone? Nothing too fancy...just some appetizers and desserts would be fine. I'll be happy to pay you, or we could work out some kind of promotional arrangement. I understand you have very competent chefs here at the Bistro. <notices waiter carrying tray of food to nearby table> The food looks VERY good! And I think the extra publicity of catering for the Wine Cellar might appeal to your staff.

So...do you think we could arrange something?

Eva, she had to step out for a while. I can't help you, I'm sorry. Come back later.

Eva, I got your message. Angelique was kind enough to relay it to me. She's more than just a customer -- she's almost like an employee here!

All I can say is, I have some announcements to make this evening -- one of which involves you, Eva! Just hold tight!

But first, (sobbing into silk scarf)..there's something I have to do.....

(Goes up to jazz band, tells them to take a break....two guys with banjos come on stage....Stray Cat talks into microphone)

Ladies and Gentlemen...and, as always, ....I use the terms loosely....

Tonight -- for one time only -- you're about to hear some music that would not normally be played here -- and never will again

May I have a glass of White Zinfandel when your not so busy, thanks.

Wow, it's been busy here today.

As I was coming here today I saw that Chai Tea had started a real cute thread called "Love is in the Air" She and a few others were singing, and Tea even did a little dance. So in tribute to "Love" I want to share this little bit of news with you.

Again two secret lovers have been seen. Mr F*****s, and his beautiful unknown lady were spotted in a very out of the way cafe. Again the couple hid their identity from the photographers.

They sat quietly in a corner table. As you can see she is a beautiful lady, and they make a handsome couple. She cut her hair, and looks more beautiful than in the pictures shown by our own Weekly A2K News.



They did not stay long, and we see them leaving the cafe arm in arm. Aint love grand!



For Chai Tea

Bravo, bravo!!! *wild clapping and stomping*

(Sitting at bar, sobbing, still upset about Gus..sipping her favorite mixed drink...a daquiri)...

Oh, Angelique! I like that print! The couple is dressed in modern clothes..as if it could be today...but I notice the car in the background looks very 1950's...

I love those old cars! There were much more glamorous than the cars today!

But, Gus...(sobbing into her silk scarf)...has he been lost in his ol' SUV?...Stuck in a mud swamp somewhere....Of course, he loves the mud...but I'm afraid there's too much mud for even Gus to handle down in Weesiana!

Don't spoil it for the imagination SC. People love antique cars today. Heaven knows where the secret lovers where this time.

Is Gus missing again? Don't worry about him. He will appear riding on a chupacabra soon, you will see. *pats her on the back*

Miss, when your not busy please bring me a bottle of White Zinfandel with a small plate of fresh fruit. I love to pick on fruit while I drink. Thanks, yes here at my usual place.

<clap, clap, clap, clap...>
Bravo, bravo! Encore......

She is a good singer Reyn. I'm sure she will sing often. Hope your well tonight.

An announcement, Ms. Cat? I wonder what that could be?

<to waitress> I think I'll have a glass of champagne while I'm waiting. Thank you!






<wonders what Stray Cat has up her sleeve>

Yeah, not too bad for an old guy. Hard day's work - just trying to relax. Think I'll just sit and listen to the band for a bit.

Do they take requests? If so, something by Diana Krall would be nice.

<applies more lipstick, and winks :wink: at very handsome man at nearby table, in hopes he will buy the champagne>
