The Colony Saloon and Grill

[Grumpy Old Man]

I have started a new group-The Colony Saloon and Grill. It is a place to relax and BS in the spirit of friendship and warmth. Everyone is welcome! And we only have one rule: Don't take yourself so damn seriously! Stop by and chat, enjoy your favorite beverage and share your thoughts and recipes. We require respect and civility and a modicum of decorum. Other than that, we only require that you adhere to our only rule.:D

[Sniper-T]

Barkeeeeeep!!!

Pour me a tall frosty one, that's one dang dusty trail!

whooeeee!

[Sniper-T]

[piranha2]

As long as we are here, how about firing up that grill and cook these shrimp. Oh yeah, a cold Bud light also.

[Sniper-T]

hmm, I don't see the owner around... I don't think he'd mind if I used the grill...

Cajun and garlic shrimp po'boys work for you? maybe with a nice light aioli and a side slaw?

[piranha2]

I will be right over. We will finish before he gets back.

[ak474u]

I'll take a cold milk in a dirty glass, cause I'm manly like that.

[Grumpy Old Man]

[Foulball]

[bacpacker]

Well I finally made it into this fine establishment. I'm hopin Eagle don't land on me. :)

Pour me a cold Dos Equis and have me a double (make that a triple) of E & J Select waiting on the side. It's hot and dusty I need something to cut the dust.

[Sniper-T]

*sniper opens his arms and looks up... waiting for eagle....*

"here Pal, aim here... I gotcha...."

[Evolver]

Speaking of birds... Today I got shit upon by the blue bird of happiness. Well I might of been just a high flying gull but it did put a smile on my face. Birds got to shit too. :)

[mitunnelrat]

That damn gull is still flying around down there? It shat on one of my sisters (who we called bird, coincidentally) as she was laying out tanning in your fine state...



...12.5 years ago. Funny to you. Mortifying to a teenage girl at a pool

[Twitchy]

eagle, you will be fine, you have a resident EMT student to help yee out! hahaha... just don't count on too much help... :o

[LUNCHBOX]

I couldn't think of too many better ways to pass a day. I'm in.

[eagle326]

Alrighty guys I'm down. Those damn toggle line things made steering the chute easy with soft landing. Better than the old T-10's.
I brought my trusty Claymore with me. He has the saddle bags with some refreshments with - in.

Barkeep ; Set the house up. This rounds on me.
Claymore ; Go let Barkeep take payment from bags. No he doesn't want to play fetch! Sorry guys he's still a pup at heart.
I like this the place ; it's starting to fill up.

I figure we can pass some time making use of the parachute. :cool:

Vertstang !!!!!!! Put that stuff back in your bag ; I'm okay . I appreciate the offer but I'll pass on being your medical dummy for your test especially knowing you've been tilting a few. ;)

Barkeep set Verstang up with the bottle and take it out of my bag.

[RedJohn]

Verstang cannot drink and I don't. Any Iced Tea or Lemonade around?

[Stormfeather]

hmm, I don't see the owner around... I don't think he'd mind if I used the grill...

I miss the dirty south. . . . damn that food was soooo good!

E&J. . . as in Erk & Jerk brandy?

[Twitchy]

Bah, you got me!

[Stormfeather]

Well, since its the start of the weekend, pour me a good old fashioned Crown Royal straight up!

Waitaminute. . . . wheres the damn bartender? or is this a self serve establishment?

[Grumpy Old Man]

I'm coming I'm coming! Just hold your taters. I got to get the young Vert and RJ some sweet tea.

[bacpacker]

E&J. . . as in Erk & Jerk brandy?

Yeah something like that Stormy. Actually tonight I need a tall frosty DosEquis and some good fajitas.

[Stormfeather]

Dang. . . and all I get is jenky ass taco bell and Natural Light beer. . .

[Twitchy]

Yeah something like that Stormy. Actually tonight I need a tall frosty DosEquis and some good fajitas.

make that a double order of fajitas.... and throw in some seafood while we can!

[Stormfeather]

Sometimes I hate you coastal people. . .

[Sniper-T]

Hey all!

Sorry I'm late grumpy, but I just went down the road to pick some fresh Lemons, and ended up talking to a local fisherman. He's stopping by in a bit with some fresh Catfish.

Who want's fresh squeezed Lemonade?

[piranha2]

Had silver trout for supper. Small, but oh, so yummy.

[bacpacker]

Lemonade sounds wonderful.

Vert pull you up a seat and we'll throw some shrimp on the fajitas.

[mitunnelrat]

This is, without a doubt, THE weirdest thread I've run across on here yet...

But save me some of that shrimp. Its great for catching catfish if T's source falls through

[bacpacker]

Yeah but don't you just love it? This is about as close as we can get to being able to sit around and just bullshit with a bunch of us.

[Twitchy]

hey im here! pass a lemonade and start the fajitas!

[bacpacker]

On the grill!

[Twitchy]

I can smell them cooking already!

I swear to god if you put guacamole on mine you will see my inner demon come out!!!!

[bacpacker]

Gotta have some guac with the fajitas

[Stormfeather]

Fajita's without guacamole is like. . . wrong. . . just like. . .

1976 chevy vans parked outside of elementary schools. . . .wrong!
waking up after a 3 day drunk to a woman you dont know with a marriage certificate on the table. . . .wrong!
Getting beat up by a pack of midgets on the Vegas strip. . . .wrong!
Johnny Walker Blue/Green label mixed with cola. . .wrong!
mixing sleeping pills and laxatives at the same time before bed. . . EXTREMELY wrong!

Fajitas without guacamole. . . WRONG!

[eagle326]

Okay here's the deal. I'm bringing 12 chickens for the grill ; All of them alive.
Now for entertainment and shooting skills we will do the following. Each volunteer shooter gets 2 rounds and must hit said chicken with head shot in order to count at 25 to 50 yds. distance. To be determined by group.

Will rotate shooters until chickens are gone. Oh and we'll keep them moving around just for fun.

What say ye? :D

P.S.
No shotguns

Rules are rules BR13 :p We better check his weapon to make sure he isn't using a Wrist-Rocket. :p

[eagle326]

Gents; Backpacker is rounding up the chickens into the corral. It'll be just a few moments more.
Seems some scroundrel put gunpowder in their feed and some Jack Daniels in their water to make for a better contest.

I guess there's nothing like chickens with attitude eehhh. I'll see if I can track said person down. :rolleyes:

BR13 will be up first . Did I mention we have water balloons ; flour sacks ; flaming Bison pies with launcher?

Just putting that out there for you fellas. Okay who took the paint guns.

Let the games begin!!!

[IDTANDY]

Might want to add flaming blivits.

[eagle326]

Might want to add flaming blivits.

Sure ; anything thing to keep the boys occupied.

[Twitchy]

Hey! Hold off till im available tomorrow! I'm busy today! :o

[Sniper-T]

BWRR, if you don't have any 7's, I offer some of mine. Hate for you to miss out on a technicality

[eagle326]

Hey! Hold off till im available tomorrow! I'm busy today! :o

No problem Stang 86. I got with Backpacker and we decided that 12 chickens wouldn't last long with our motley crew. So we have procured 50 more chickens for the contest. They are in transit and will be fed and watered ;);) and ready by the time you're up for your shoot.

Oh by the way ; We are including the non lethal combat rules for this event. you know ; just the normal boy's out night. :cool:

Sorry Izzy ; not this game. BUT the next one I have planned includes bears and wild hogs.
The Bat'leth will be one of the permitted weapons of choice. My Bowie knife from Vietnam with 10" blade is also permitted.
If any Ant brother wins the knife contest from the knife post gets to go first as an honor for winning.

His adversaries will be one bear and one wild boar. Side bets allowed.

P.S.
Two primitive weapons allowed ; No firearms. Weapons chosen by Stig ; Sniper ; Stormy.

2 things right off the bat. . . .

First off. . .anyone seen my bottle of Jack Daniels? I was out wandering around chasing the white buffalo with my buddy Jack. . . and I heard it whisper that someone or something was thirsty. . . . now I cant find my damn bottle of Jack! (btw, I drink Honey Jack for those that want to know!)

And secondly. . . since we are doing primitive weapons for the bears & boars. . .. are trebuchets considered a primitive weapon? If so, Im looking to put together a team! Now. . . where is my damn bottle of Honey Jack and wtf is up with those chickens?

[Stormfeather]

and what the hell is a Bat'leth?

I see a image link but no pic. . .


ETA. . . good god. . . what are you ? Klingon?!?!?!

[Sniper-T]

A Trebuchet is definately a primitive; but I would think it is slight overkill for hunting. Unless you can lure the pig into the basket and launch him into a soup pot?!?

I propose, for a medium range weapon, the Atlatl.

[bacpacker]

Sniper the Atlatyl was exactly what i was thinking using. Maybe fewest attpmts wins? I know its highly doubtful i would hit anything rist shot with that.

Eagle Im about a sharp as a hammer. And about as delicate.

[Sniper-T]

A buddy of mine just made one and is experimenting with different darts. within 2 or three throws he was on the archery target, and has been ever since. They're amazingly easy to get 'decent' with.

I used to make them when I was a kid, and used all our cross country ski poles for darts. could get some wicked distance out of them easy. but there wasn't much to use for targets, so after I embedded all the ski poles into a tree and the side of his shed, my dad burnt my atlatl, with some VERY stern threats about making a new one.
lol.

[bacpacker]

You need to post up some plans for that. I assume you use a hardwood?

gotta start working on throwing left handed again!

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

OK, Taz and her hubby are now gone from our orchard, we all had a good visit. LadyHK and Taz AAR: They are both Evil so we're all going to have deal with that mess. I hope we can get back this here tourneyment. So I gotta stick #7's still? You guys sure are coming up with some funny sounding weapons. But I guess if you say there good I guess there good. I hope I didn't miss anything.

[Sniper-T]

Not at all lady, I don't hate them. They taste just like dog.

;)

[realist]

Hay sorry I'm late I just got back into town, is there still room? I just thought that I would bring in a bottle of Jameson's whiskey and some jambalaya. I find that jambalaya is great drunk food and it appears that there are plenty in this place. The only problem with this theory is that in order for the jambalaya to work you have to stop drinking and it does not appear that that will happen anytime soon..

[ladyhk13]

Not at all lady, I don't hate them. They taste just like dog.

[mitunnelrat]

Really? I don't often admit this, but dog meat was one of the best "exotic" foods I tried while over in Korea. I'll take it over kimchee any day of the week. I'd actually like to know how they prepare it, just so I could try making coyote the same way.

[Evolver]

hmmmm......winter kimchee or summer kimchee?????? Having had both I may almost have to agree with you if I weren't such an animal lover. ALMOST! *as I look into the most beautiful eyes of my sweet dog that was saved from the side of the road where he and his litter mates were thrown to die*

[mitunnelrat]

I'd say summer just due to the time of year! lol. All I know is I think it stinks, and doesn't taste too good. As far as dogs, it helps to remember they raise specific breeds for food, and they're nothing like my own best buddy.

lol. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw V's post. Good call Lady!

V, when you're done that, I'll mix up a nice Rob Roy for ya!

;)

[mitunnelrat]

A Shirley Temple!? Come on now, don't sissify the boy!

Come on Vert... Idk what a Rob Roy is, but I'd be suspicious of anything Sniper wants you to mix now that he supported that... Other

Here, have a beer. Its a Wurtzburger Hofbrau. Every guy should know how to pick a good beer, and its my opinion the German's have the best. Hope I'm getting you started out right here. But hell, anythings gotta be better than that swill they offered. ;)

[izzyscout21]

It's okay, Vert. Drink that Shirley Temple. I'll haze it out of you later.

[IDTANDY]

Have to agree,German Beers
Grew up there my father was stationed.Started in France at Toul-Rosières Air Base.Got there in 58,in 62 to Ramstein AFB,Germany until I graduated and enlisted in 65.
October fest,The burning of the castle in Heidelberg all the local fests.In France and Germany when I wasn't in school I was traveling.My parents had a loose rein on
me and encouraged the travel,besides I spoke French and German.Would spend summers outside if Paris at my grandfathers and had the run of the Metro.Much much fun.

[izzyscout21]

I remember heidelberg.

Wasn't to far from Vilseck and Grafenwoer, my stomping grounds.

[Grumpy Old Man]

A rob roy is a jigger of scotch, a splash of sweet vermouth with angostura bitters to taste. Garnish with a maraschino cherry. it would be better with peychaud bitters IMHO.

[Sniper-T]

Well he is a minor, and we don't want to lose our liquor licence so soon after opening...

the youth version:
A nonalcoholic cocktail or mocktail that references the Rob Roy, though the reference is almost lost in translation is the Roy Rogers. This is a combination of cola and grenadine, and is usually garnished with a cherry.



A real rob roy:
1.5 oz Scotch
0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
1 Maraschino Cherry

from here:

Rob Roy recipe from My Best Cocktails (http://mybestcocktails.com/recipe-127-Rob-Roy.html)

And for the record... I didn't say which one I'd mix for him!

mwahahahahaa

eta: ya beat me to it Grumps!

[Grumpy Old Man]

The scotch you use better be a blend Sniper! We have strong rules here regarding how single malts may be served.

[Sniper-T]

personally, I would use scotch to clean toilet bowls! The smell alone would incite projectile vomitus, and what better place to be?

AHHHH The Graf ,coldest ,muddiest place in the world.Deployed with USAF Mobile Radar units there.

[Sniper-T]

I dunno about down there, but up here, a minor can enter a licenced establishment, but cannot order alcohol, or be served alcohol, unless a parent/guardian allows it.

I enjoyed an underage beer (or so) in many rural bars with my dad after hunting, and all he had to say was "he's ok. He's with me."

[mitunnelrat]

Not so here. Should be, imo, but minors are out of luck, at least as far as drinking with parental consent, and they have to be out of the bar by 9pm in MI. I'm not sure if that holds true in other states.

We are also discussing Grumpy's upcoming battle with his amberdexterious wrench over in the group section.
That is between the darts and drinks. Figuring out which critter or critters he will face.

Get Ready to Rumble!!! Barkeep another round please. We have serious work here ahead of us. ;)
Thanks for the drink Izzy ; Here's to ya'

[tompnoid]

hey can i get a three wise man for this hangover

[Evolver]

Drinks are on me in the Saloon and they'll be ready when you get there. :)

[bacpacker]

I'll take a Black Russian if you please. Been a rough week and it's about time to kick back. Hope everyone is ready to cool their heels.

[izzyscout21]

guys....guys....guys..... no drinking in the street!! booze is over in the community----> group section..........

[mitunnelrat]

I'm working on that. Sunday is a definite, and my boss thinks he needs to see if he can give me Saturday too... You'd think he'd figure out by now that I'll just call in sick if he doesn't approve my vacation request. Its not like they ever have coverage for my site anyway. Lol

Game over. I win.

[Evolver]

My heels are a Chilln and Woo Friggen Hoo!!! :) TGIF

[piranha2]

Is Red John a frickin bouncer?

[Grumpy Old Man]

The Saloon has a new sign courtesy of Evolver! While he didn't say it outright, I believe he thought the weasel was (mis)representing our clientele.LOL. Personally, I can see that when I go fishing I need to have someone responsible to watch over the place and keep you guys out of the street. I'm thinking that paragon of virtue and decorum, Sniper-T!

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

Is Red John a frickin bouncer?

I guess we must be a pretty rowdy bunch to warrant a bouncer. Us old people can get stubborn when it comes thinkin we are right on all counts, besides, "alcohol make-a-man brave" amongst other things...........

Be safe...............the night is your friend.

It looks like I need to do some tweaking on the sign, can't read the Saloon and Grill at the bottom...

[Twitchy]

Boy this weekend has passed by fast, and I missed the competition... or did i?

[piranha2]

I missed the sign. And I slipped by Red John and Stig. I think. maybe not.

[LUNCHBOX]

Sorry BP, I put my head on the bar and took a nap. Thanks for the Carona.

[eagle326]

Did the city inspector close this place down or what.....the beer is getting warm.

No ; We just had to update some of the saloon after Grumpy & Sniper got done with their games for everyone . :eek:
But I will say those 2 know how to liven up a party. ;)

[realist]

Gooder??? That is the bestiest idea that I have heard. I will be there as soon as I find another drink. I have been told to never volunteer for anything so I am not going to volunteer, I'm just going to help, that don't count.

[Sniper-T]

[Sniper-T]

Poor place almost seems abandoned...

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j87/dbigler/saloon.jpg

might have to do something about that...

[Evolver]

We should have a moving party and relocate it to the Town Hall area. It would be more visible and would draw and keep patrons. :) Thoughts?

[eagle326]

Okay ants lets get our asses over to the saloon!!! When Sniper wants a party we need to show up . Just watch out for him. I heard thru the grapevine he's driving a souped up wheel chair with a lift kit. :eek:

[Grumpy Old Man]

Geez, 'ol Grump takes a leave and y'all let the joint go to hell! I guess I'll help Gimpy, I mean Sniper, get the place back in shape for the Holidays.

[eagle326]

Geez, 'ol Grump takes a leave and y'all let the joint go to hell! I guess I'll help Gimpy, I mean Sniper, get the place back in shape for the Holidays.

Okay guys and gals. You know what that means when Grumpy says he'll help Sniper. That's right my brethren ; bring your party package and your tools to remodel & repair the joint cause those 2 Boys don't do anything half assed. :eek:

[Evolver]

Well... I just finished up building the new ramp up to the Saloon and also installed a lift gate so when T gets his erg to do some wheel chair bar top dancing he can get there. :p Party!!!

[Buddychrist]

Got some Evan Williams for front porch sittin' and jawin' :p

[greg48]

I don't drink, if the coffee pot is on, I will stop in. Here of late with this fine winter we are having, I been drinking hot cider from the Keurig.

[bacpacker]

Hot cider is great. I also like Hot Chai tea. Very tasty.

[LUNCHBOX]

40 degrees today, time for a cold one.

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

Bar's been closed for along time, I'll take a shot of Stoli's from the snow if you please kind sir. My snow's bout melted here.

I respect that, I quit "pounding" when I retired from the service. Now it's more of a social thing. Every now and then I'll have a drink when friends come over. My "steaming" days are pretty much over. Don't have a use for it like I did back then, some of you know what I mean. I'm happy about that............

[greg48]

Bacpacker; I had a chance to drink alot of chai with the locals during my first OIF trip, I enjoyed those. Got to talk with alot of local Iraqis, many were Veterans of the war with Iran, some spoke good english, some broken, some of those Veterans I enjoyed talking with.

[Gunfixr]

Its cool Greg, us 11 series guys need a DD about 90% of the time.

Barkeep! Your finest scotch please.

I have some Balvenie Doublewood 12yr.

Will that do?

[izzyscout21]

I have some Balvenie Doublewood 12yr.

Will that do?

Absolutely

[Sniper-T]

OK Folks...

It is Spring, and I just spent the last two days cleaning the dust bunnies and the cob webs from the saloon.

Party this weekend, all weekend long!

On me!

Details are posted in the saloon, so stop on by for a drink (alcoholic or not).

[eagle326]

Bring tool belts!!!

[bacpacker]

Oh shit! Sounds like trouble to me. I hope to be there.

[eagle326]

You know what always happens B.P. when Sniper & Grumpy get together. :D

[bacpacker]

That's always a good time.
