CASTING CALL for Open Thread: The Bowery

[Arioso]

No prob!

Just didn't want your pastries to get lost in the shuffle

Cheers,
AriO

 

[Greyknight]

Hmmm pastry shuffling? Sounds like fun. Where do I apply. Hehehe

 

[Arioso]

Where do you apply?

hmm....well, dear, it's always best to apply light pressure in several places...feeling things out...until you hear a moan and then apply steady, increasing pressure there, right there.



Oh, and you might want to pm Tibvo® about joining up with the Justice League™, since he's the evil genius behind the whole place. But I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to post a description of your proposed villain while you wait.

Cheers,
AriO

 

[Rockin' Roland]

knead when needed and dust if sticky

 

[Greyknight]

Applying stedy pressure...... that might be the spot

and thanks about PMing Tibvo (aka evil genius)

"The Bowery"

A true song written in 1892...just thought I would share

Lyrics by Charles H. Hoyt

Verse 1
Oh! the night that I struck New York,
I went out for a quiet walk;
Folks who are "on to" the city say,
Better by far that I took Broadway;
But I was out to enjoy the sights,
There was the Bow'ry ablaze with lights;
I had one of the devil's own nights!
I'll never go there anymore.

Refrain
The Bow'ry, the Bow'ry!
They say such things,
And they do strange things
On the Bow'ry! The Bow'ry!
I'll never go there anymore!

Verse 2
I had walk'd but a block or two,
When up came a fellow, and me he knew;
Then a policeman came walking by,
Chased him away, and I asked him why.
"Wasn't he pulling your leg?," said he.
Said I, "He never laid hands on me!"
"Get off the Bow'ry, you Yap!," said he.
I'll never go there anymore.
(Repeat Refrain)

Verse 3
I went into an auction store,
I never saw any thieves before;
First he sold me a pair of socks,
Then said he, "How much for the box?"
Someone said "Two dollars!" I said "Three!"
He emptied the box and gave it to me.
"I sold you the box not the sox," said he,
I'll never go there any more.
(Repeat Refrain)

Verse 4
I went into a concert hall,
I didn't have a good time at all;
Just the minutes that I sat down
Girls began singing, "New Coon in Town,"
I got up mad and spoke out free,
"Somebody put that man out," said she;
A man called a bouncer attended to me,
I'll never go there anymore.
(Repeat Refrain)

Verse 5
I went into a barbershop,
He talk'd till I thought that he'd never stop;
I, cut it short, he misunderstood,
Clipp'd down my hair just as close as he could.
He shaved with a razor that scratched like a pin,
Took off my whiskers and most of my chin;
That was the worst scrape I'd ever been in.
I'll never go there anymore.
(Repeat Refrain)

Verse 6
I struck a place that they called a "dive,"
I was in luck to get out alive;
When the policeman heard of my woes,
Saw my black eye and my batter'd nose,
"You've been held up!," said the copper fly.
"No, sir! But I've been knock'd down," said I;
Then he laugh'd, tho' I could not see why!
I'll never go there anymore!
(Repeat Refrain)

we are finally back and shall post

Bad thread moderator!

Aiiee, I've been remiss in my duties.

Greetings, thread partners...just a little update and check-in. I'm glad to see several of you getting into the swing of things.

I haven't been on my toes as far as encouraging things along; found myself a tad stalled in my own character due to the weekend travel plans of my writing-partner-of-the-moment, Prometheus. He kindly let me know he'd be away for the weekend, and I never found a way to write my character out of a situation in which his dialogue was desperately needed.

However, finally did that today, and if anyone out there is looking for someone to interact with, I'm available. I'm currently at Dieter's tavern, but I can easily be yanked to another place

Sadly, it looks like Lady Mel feels compelled to leave the thread (don't go! don't leave us!! ). I hope that she'll feel welcome to jump right back in -- real life issues do come up, which is understandable, but folks are always welcome to return when they can.

If anyone needs any "tinkering" with the thread, please let me know. I'm in maintenance mode right now

Thanks, and cheers,
AriO

We have been afraid we were taking it over lol we have this bad habbit of doing that when we write with others so we try to be careful.

 

[Arioso]

No! No! Don't worry

Jess, you kept the thing going when my contributions had pretty much stalled. So, thanks!

Just hoping that others feel like they're still in the game...I may have gone silent for a wee bit, but I haven't abandoned this project.

So, if anyone has needs, wants, or gripes -- or just wants to get back on track -- please let out a HOLLER!



Cheers,
AriO

 

[Jessalynvix]

okay thanks

 

[Prometheus2]

Bump!!!

A rather vigorous "bump" to put this OOC post back on the front page and attract new players. ther's room for more folks!!

Sorry to see Lady Mel go, good luck to her and maybe if she comes back this thread will stil be active and she can jump back in.

Which brings me to the subject of jumping. I'm jumping outta here for a couple of weeks much needed vacation. (Ole left too but he and I will be back to the Bowery. In the meantime y Tatianna needs some TLC. I know there are guys who would be more than happy to "play with her". Ole has no claims on her aaffections. Me , well, I'll be a little jealous whenI get back and see what I missed but I'll get over it Take care all ttyl

prometheus

 

[Arioso]

Thanks, hon

Enjoy your vacation, Prometheus You're a doll.

And thanks also for bumping the OOC thread, it'll allow the whole gang to talk to each other.

Gents, I'll be happy to pair up with someone who's looking for a chance to write, but I can be equally content to wait it out. I'm still hanging out in Dieter's tavern, about to deliver some stew in exchange for a case of beer. Feel free to direct me to a new location if you're looking for a writing partner.

Otherwise, I'll just kick back and enjoy the show


Cheers, all!
AriO
