<p>Sybbie, I thought you were paraphrasing the song currently playing all the time on the radio these days, "Back that *** up, back that *** up."</p>
<p>I'm back....I beat the Aussies at darts but they kept calling me "Grandma". Took all the spin outta my win. Think I'll stick with men of taste - Doddsdad, Dadofsam, The Dad, and Greybeard....</p>
<p>Alu,</p>
<p>You are so bad!!</p>
<p>Crash,
I can assure you that we are certainly men of taste, and we will never refer to you as "grandma." In my case, you can also refer to me as a man of girth, but I really don't want to talk about it...</p>
<p>DofS,
Okay, we have Crash in the corner whupping the Australian National Darts Team, Alumother and Sluggbugg are mainlining cosmos from a bucket, Fireflyscout is having a Disco Dante flashback, Greybeard and the TheDad are arguing about the next song from the jukebox which is currently playing a polka, Digmedia ran from the Alley almost as soon as he entered, and Sybbie is shaking her pass on the bar wearing cheese nip baskets for shoes. </p>
<p>What exactly do we need to qualify for disreputable and "real seediness?"</p>
<p>maybe an arrest?</p>
<p>SBmom. Does it need to be a U.S. arrest or would a border town work as well? Just asking.</p>
<p>SBMom,
You're right. An arrest should raise the disreputable, seedy, and untamed factors. We would need a volunteer....</p>
<p>However, I think all of the law enforcement officials are afraid of Curmudgeon if he gets them in a court. Besides, who is going to swear out the complaint? We own the bar!</p>
<p>I just envision flashing red lights and a hubbub sufficient to get crash, sybbie, Alum & sluggbugg out of the sauce for a minute... Then back to dancing on the tables....</p>
<p>SBMom,
Your plan works for me! Do we have red lights on our police cars? </p>
<p>DofS,
If you need more authenticity, I'm afraid you'll have to do the recruiting. Be careful though. We don't need another Altamont.</p>
<p>I am a very risk adverse individual so yes the sirens and flashing lights would suffice in pulling me out of the sauce. </p>
<p>I hope Sinner's alley is not located in Hanover as I don't want to be featured in the police blotter for dancing with baskets on my feet. My fashionista D would not want to come bail me out. </p>
<p>Another round, drinks are on the house</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but arguing about polkas, dancing on tables, and beating Aussies at darts just doesn't fit my concept of disreputable. I myself have argued over many polkas and danced in many places, tables included, at various times in my life. All of us, notwithstanding a few quirks and occasional weird ideas, are reputable, upstanding professionals and parents, or at least that's the impression we give. </p>
<p>By disreputables I mean people who are, or who appear to be, lowlives, with a real or apparent criminal record (I don't mean getting arrested for demonstrating), maybe businessmen with a back-room money-laundering or bootlegging operation. The kind of people my DW wouldn't let me associate with - maybe even the kind that I wouldn't let me associate with - but still we need them for a genuine seedy dive.</p>
<p>I am quite sure we could generate interest in bootlegging.</p>
<p>bootleg CDs or distilled liquor?</p>
<p>Hey around here we have a lot of fishermen, a noble occupation but some of them are a little um scruffy? ( some also have a few occupations on the side that are less than reputable or so Ive been told)</p>
<p>LOL!!!!! All of you are so funny! Will minors be allowed, or will I need a fake ID? I could get caught and be the scruffy one! :D</p>
<p>*Taramom slowly lifts up her head from the table and peers unsteadily at Greybeard *</p>
<p>exactly...what is this unfortunate incident in 1978 you refer to?</p>
<p>Taramom's head crashes back down to the table again</p>
<p>We are watching the 100 best movie quotes...I have seen all the movies but about 4...yikes</p>
<p>But our family is bonding...</p>
<p>And eating raw chocolate chip cookie dough</p>
<p>with wine of course</p>
<p>um raw cookie dough has raw eggs in it
however if you drink enough liquor you should be all right- alcohol sterilizes things right?</p>
<p>today was the last day of school- I am counting the days till camp.</p>
<p>I think curmudgeon's daughter can eat dough, too.</p>
<p>PS yemaya, you are busted for a fake ID!</p>
