Salutations...

[Wybren]

* wanders in and pours a glass of something amber coloured*

Oh show me the way to the next Whisky bar....

[HoopyFrood]

*Potters in, all Newty-like*

Right...yeah...OK, how'm gonna do this?

*Comes back out into the corridors and lingers for a while until she spots a goblin*

Hey! Hey, you there! Giz a hand? I have gorgonzola! Crap, I recognise you. Terribly sorry about falling on your head that time -- no, wait, don't g-!

Damn.

*Newty feet disappear down the corridors, then there's a rolling noise* Whheeee!

*Noise stops as something hits a wall* Ouch.

*Sounds of much effort and straining*

*Newt backs into the thread, a rope in her mouth, pulling like a tiny pack horse*

*A HUGE cake rolls in on a pair of old roller skates, all chocolatey and huge and delicious looking*

*Rolls it into the middle of the thread, spits out the rope*

HA- *gasp, pant* -PPY BIRTHDAY *Wheeze, gasp* SALUTA-

*Flumps onto the floor*

[AE35Unit]

That's some freaky chutnering there Newt! Some dude's birthday?

I can't believe this thread was on its seventh page before I got a welcome in.

That means I have a whole week before celebrating the birth of the longest introductions thread (that actually needed transplanting because it was outgrowing its pot, rootbound) doesn't it?

[Sephiroth]

It does indeed, Chris. The seventh page? Tsk. Oh, and it was straight in about the linguistics, I see. Strange to read that again after so long!



Thanks for the cake, Hoops!! (On behalf of the Sal, that is. But she's not getting it all to herself.)

*begins to shovel cake into mouth*


Mmm......... Mmph mmmnn, mm mpf m mmm phphfffmmmf.


*chews and swallows*


Don't you think?



Oh, yeah, and.......


Happy Birthday, Sal!

(belatedly)




Three years! I guess it's just as well things calmned down in here, or it'd probably constitute about half the forum, by now.



Been nice knowing you all for so long. Here's to the next three!

[Hilarious Joke]

Belated happy birthday Salutations! A magnificent institution.

[Wybren]

* Wanders in and gets out her dusting gear and cleans the room up*

* adds some tinsel and a douglas fir for effect*

* Lights a candle scented of nutmeg and cinamon*

* collapses on the window bench and enjoys the peace and quite*

[AE35Unit]

* coughs and sputters at the smell of cinammon*

*runs out before passing out, not before taking a cone from the fir tree*

[AE35Unit]

*wanders in, wondering what happened to the cleaner-its a tip in here!*

[GuruGeorge]

I'm actually an artist wondering around a message board for writers.

[Grimward]

Welcome, GuruGeorge.

This here be the Sal, home of various and sundry, although of late a bit lightly traversed. A sojourn thru its backpages, however, will turn up all sorts of images. Whether they are art or not is up to you (Eye of the Beholder and all, you know), but there's a reasonable chance you'll find something you like here.

I'm sure you'll have already found the Introductions thread, but if not, follow the magic link and tell us some more about yourself. In the meanwhile, be welcome again.

[Wybren]

Welcome GuruGeorge, I am sure you will find soon enough that this is not just a forum for writers, but for fans in general of Science Fiction and Fantasy. There is heaps of stuff about for everyone to enjoy.

* figures that the sal is a bit cobwebby and cleans up a little, restocks the pantry with nibbles and chutney, fills the fridge with beverages*

[Grimward]

*Flows out of a sconce, and smells....*

Beverages. *evil grin*

And from the 4th of July, too. Has to be momentous, even if it's not the same holiday down on the flip side of the marble...

[chrispenycate]

So, there I was, making plum chutney (having made enough plum jam) and I thought I'd bring a couple of jars in here.

And now I'm making tea here as the tearoom seems a bit unwelcoming.
