NationStates Jolt Archive

Let's see...

The kegs are cold, the pastry treats are in the oven warming, ESPN has been connected to the data projector...

All seems in readiness.

In peace, charity and justice, I call to order the United Grand Lodge of Nation States.

Those wishing to attend please do so.

Those wishing to flame please move on.

Would this be Lodge as in Masonic?

Mmm, beer. Now if only I could get some IRL...

Yph it wobd (Yes it would) *as chomping into a sausage roll*

Hey Patra, last time you were bringing biscuits, I never got any!

Really? That's a shame, but they do go fast. I'm thinking of baking some more this afternoon (ANZAC biscuits) but I have to clean the house. I'm getting a new computer today, an Intel Celeron! I am told that they are reputed under proformers, but it's the first computer I'll actually own (this one is a rental I got for uni)!

Never heard that about Celeron. I'm using an IBM Think Centre.

But hey crack open a beer, I'll flick the projector onto the AFL channel and we can watch Brisbane beat Adelaide again!

Sounds good, want a fourex?

I'll take a brew. Thanks. I'm not actually sure what this is, but hey, free beer.

EDIT: As long as said beer is Guiness. Otherwise, don't bother.

Thanks Patra that would be nice. Gas should be connected to the kegs and while you're there mate get Proto a Guiness, it's that small black keg next to the Stella.

Only a small keg? I'm an Irishman, surely you don't think just a small keg's going to hold me over? I alone will need at least six, preferably large. I hope you have more in the back room.

Please everyone join me on the couches, they have been scotch guarded so risk from beer spillage has been negated and feet are more than welcome on the coffee table.

So Proto, whats your day going to entail?

Drinking, drinking, drinking, fighting, wondering if maybe I should be at work, more drinking to erase wondering, more fighting, much singing, passing out.

Good old Irish day. Hopefully rainy.

OK Proto, I'll see what I can do. *Calls a mate at local bottle shop.*

Sounds very liquidy. What part of Ireland are you from?

EDIT: Elsburytonia has no idea about the geography of Ireland. You could say in Hilly Shire where the trees are chocolate and the sea is jelly and I'd probably believe you.

Patra! Where are those beers?

I'm not actually from Ireland. I'm American, but I am also nearly pure Irish descent, have visited several times, love the country, people, ect. My family is from County Kerry and COunty Cork, and I still have relatives in both areas, whom I have visited often over the years. I would like to live there someday.

Technically, I suppose I'm a plastic Paddy. I'm Catholic and pro-independence, but I don't know if I could ever actually fight for it.

*Serves a round of cold ones* More on tap... ;)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*First sip of beer*

Ta Patra.

What's in your day, apart from the whole computer ownership thing?


Proto - yeah, don't see much point in fighting either, but I would if the need arose.

Well I'm a Victorian, former Catholic, Mason, Monarchist, Conservative.

My family apparently left England to go to the gold fields in America (some where along the way mixed with American Indians), found nothing and headed to the Bendigo goldfields where they made a squillion which was imediately pissed against a wall.
