Hi there

 

[unpredictablebijou]

*pokes head in*

And hooray! the shiny object is all we really needed for the new decor to be complete.

Anyone in that nook need a refill on ingle? I've got an unopened bottle in the back.

Annie, I now love Tony Jaa. I think it's that sexy little smile just before he KICKS SERIOUS ASS.

I mean, if it's not fun, why do it?

 

[loststar]

shiny distracting things

hang me from the ceiling
let me spin
directing traffic
of sight

You dont know if i help
but i certainly dont hurt

 

[Tzara]

i hear you're redecorating. no marble or granite slabs for the bar. they scratch easily and heels are rather unforgiving.

No, no. As our proprietress said, a lovely découpage laid under several layers of acrylic.

There is no way am I giving up a spin on top of the bar with Ms. Sass to String of Pearls while dodging Tequila bottles. I mean, it makes the footwork fun.

What I live for.

Um, footwork.

 

[Tzara]

Hi there

Hey, LS. Welcome back.

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

They don't like other dogs much!! They were bred to fight each other in those unenlightened times and were made to be people friendly so that if a dog was losing it's owner could pull it from the pit and not get bitten. That's what I got castigated for saying but it's true, they were saying why does my dog hate other dogs? Because that's what they were bred for! Keep them away from other dogs ! You will not find a more people friendly dog and in the past they were nicknamed the 'nanny' dog because they will love your kids and watch over them. Any good breeder these days needs to have them tested for hereditary cataracts which can make a dog blind before it its two ( I know I had one) there are other things they test for since I was in breeding but I would have to look those up. Lol get me talking about Staffies and I will never stop! I don't know if you realise that the American Staffordshire Bull terrier is different from the English one and I don't know which you would be writing about but the American one is larger and I have a feeling it is on the Dangerous dog list over here along with the Pitbull. But anything you want to know if I can answer I will tell you or point you in the direction of someone who knows more. I will go and have a look at the website you mention.

Well, I wrote a brief article on Staffies. In the little bit of research that I did in order to write a short 350-word article, I found that everything you say here is mentioned in the more reliable sources online. So, anyone who was arguing with you about this was an idiot who did absolutely no research on the type of dog they own!

btw, I owned a pitbull once. It was the sweetest dog! She was so loving. But, I had her from the time she was young. I think a lot of problems with pitbulls occur when they are mistreated or are not trained properly.

 

[sassynyc]

plus they're cold on the bum

*nods emphatically*

SASSY!
​

Here's some music juz so you know I'm thinking of ya girl! ​

​

beats the hell out of Tylenol, i always say.
there's a video for this set to an episode of the Andy Griffith, of all things.....just wrong.

smoochies to you and the little women

Never trust anything covered with glitter.

heh.

Sassy, apparently Tzara and Martha Stewart did some sort of decoupage with old concert tickets and Bettie Page stills or something for the bar top. I'm assured that it has been given a full surfacing of something unscratchable. They know How We Are, after all.

As to dance music, I'll start with some Ginuwine. Naaaaaasty groove. And a nice echo to today's rather equine theme...

the stripper song . Ginuwine is one of those hit and miss artists for me. this would be one of the misses usually, but totally appropriate for bar top dancing. giddey up indeed. and might i add, yeeee hawwww!

Settles in an ingle nook to watch Remec, Bjs and Sassys new dance routines

and to think, i got turned down at that Rockettes audition. the nerve of them.

excellent pick. that reminds me, i have to have a new banana skirt made. there were nothing but peelings left after our last performance.

Something I found amusing in all of this happened yesterday. When I posted saying I was leaving I told them I was the first person to write an article on Heriditary Cataracts. Anyway they haven't actually deleted me from the site and yesterday I received an important anouncement update that they now had an article on the site about the disease ..... wouldn't it be amusing if it was mine they were using lol?
You are quite right about Pitbulls the trouble all arose from men (as usual!) wanting to be the hard man with the hard dog and set out to train it to be viscous. and the pit being bigger than the Staff could do a hell of a lot more damage.

Are large thighs back in fashion now? If so there's hope for me yet.

 

[Remec]

For some of us, that's not something that ever went out of fashion. And, dahlin', granted all I've seen is little AVs, but there is certainly more than hope for you.

 

[sassynyc]

why, certainly

edt: amen...what Remec said

 

[UnderYourSpell]

I could have been a Ruben's favourite

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Perhaps we can lure Shankara in here to do an art exhibit in celebration of thighs.

Meanwhile, I'm busy having a desperate crush on George Raft today. For no good reason at all, except perhaps for those amazingly moody eyes.

That's Cagney on the left, for those of you who aren't three hundred years old.

Just stopping by. Loststar, the poem was quite perfect. And you do help, as you know.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

goodness he's got big ears

You know, if you are seriously telling me Josephine Baker and you exhibit a similar taste in haute couture (or the non couture that the fabulous Ms. Baker frequently never wore), I am booking the next flight to NYC.

Banana leaves? Wow.

But, hey, if we try really hard not to kick Homburg in the head (too much Jägermeister, I think ), can we step up on the bar and dance to this?

I mean, not slow dancing, but still. Swinging, I hope.



Am I missing something, or does Gene Krupa not have a snare in his kit? And why do I think that is odd?

Random Drive-By Bistro Weekend Writing Challenge​

Go find a clip on YouTube. ANYTHING. And then write one of those "poem" things about it.

I found this. But I'm not writing about it. I just wanted it in the Bistro.


OR


Write a self-portrait from someone else's point of view.

Like this:

She never closes the toothpaste, and her underwear
is all over the house. I don't mind that much;
toothpaste isn't important
and she has very nice underwear.

 

[Tzara]

Unless it's had its scent glands removed, I want it out of the Bistro, personally.

Cute, though. I suppose it can smell the fruit? Poor thing. Works at it like a raccoon.

 

[Tzara]

The Bistro, always striving for Good Taste in All Things Art, here strikes out into the, OMG!, avant-garde.

I've just finished installing in the Gents (Sorry, ladies. Personally guided tours are, however, available.) our new, virtualized, guaranteed-to-be Web 2.0 ready, graffiti wall.

I know. It's Twitterific.

Oh, and guys? Please don't pee in this one. It isn't hooked up to the plumbing yet. Plus, it's worth more than your house.

 

[annaswirls]

Can you please make this a separate challenge thread? I do not usually visit the Bijou (I never can figure out what is going on) and just so happened upon this challenge by chance. I am sure others are in the same situation who might want to join in on the challenges.

I was JUST thinking about this

Write a self-portrait from someone else's point of view.

today -- thinking about writing from the point of view of my sons all grown up looking back at their dear old mom..... and voila here is your challenge.

If you are more comfortable leaving it here for the Bistro only, that is fine too, I thought it was a cool challenge and that it might be nice to bring others in.
