baa-ram-ewe! baa-ram-ewe! to your breed, your fleece, your clan be true! sheep be true! baa-ram-ewe!

do i have your attention? lovely. some announcements, pardon the length but i have been away for a while. it is so hard to get a phone around here these days, isn't it. not to mention hair dye. you vain little sheeples, you.

i would like to thank my generous friends from the puppy pound who took such great care to liberate us poor souls that shared your fate. i was getting real tired of being beaten for looking at someone wrong
sincerest thanks to you sirs. may your coats stay shiny and life not be ever so ruff for you mutts.

dear ollie. go suck it.

pernell reason. be very afraid of what lurks in the dark. it might glitter and laugh. you and your men like laughing, don't you. this time i have a knife.

to my dearest clyde. i know you are out there, waiting for me to return to you. don't fret, my pet. i will find you. i promise.

now who went and cleared out the treasury? it was my favorite place to get decor for my humble abode. shame on you. shame.

When January 8

Hey Sonny, or should I say Gun? Found some information about you. Got anything you want to say now before I end you? You coward...

For the rest of the Hellhounds. I never betrayed you. Heard you got out of La Quinta. I am sorry about Tesla. I loved him. I know you don't believe it right now but someday you will.

Doomsday

The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans
Atop the broken universal clock:
The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens.
Out painted stages fall apart by scenes
While all the actors halt in mortal shock:
The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans.

Streets crack through in havoc-split ravines
As the doomstruck city crumbles block by block:
The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens.

Fractured glass flies down in smithereens;
Our lucky relics have been put in hock:
The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans.

The monkey's wrench has blasted all machines;
We never thought to hear the holy cock:
The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens.

Too late to ask if end was worth the means,
Too late to calculate the toppling stock:
The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans,
The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens.

ok technically my birthday was like a month ago, but i'm just getting around to celebrating it so.

( 18 bitchez )

and this stuff falling from the sky just means i get to prolong my celebration, so take THAT weird apocalyptic weather patterns! (you can't call it snow because that's an insult to the real thing. what's coming down now is ... WRONG. i dunno what other word to use for it.)

buuuuut i guess the whole faux snow thing is appropriate, given the season. you know what i miss? the charlie brown christmas special! and the rudolph one with the snow monster and that elf who wanted to be a dentist. they were both staples when i was a kid because they were always on tv this time of year. but then i started skipping them and of course now i'm sorry i did. anyway! who else has a favorite holiday movie?

MERRY CHRISTMAS, AUSTIN!

Ho Ho Ho-ly moly, are we not going to talk about the Mordor-level thundersnow we're experiencing right now? "White Christmas" my tookus. It's starting to lay out there so, please, resist the urge to make snow angels because, let me tell you, you'll be in for a rude awakening of the chemical burn variety. On a lighter note, I know it's not until tomorrow but Merry Christmas to all my gentile sisters and misters! Stay safe out there...here's hoping you find yourself under some mistletoe instead of out in this shizzstorm!

Apologies to anyone who witnessed my inadvertent strip tease outside earlier. I didn't realize my hoodie was still damp from the wash so when I ventured outside to check out the snow (not realizing it was actually Satan's Slurpee out there) the whole sweatshirt started smoking and disintegrating. Managed to get out of the offending garment and out of harm's way before I got burned but still, mea culpa.

Unrelated, but if anyone wants to put on their snappiest hazmat garb or scuba suit and venture on over to the Airstream, I can guarantee mediocre hot cocoa and slightly better conversation.

If anyone requires decorations for the holidays, I've found one hell of a stash. Personally it feels like dressing up a corpse.

I'm back by the way. Didn't die or anything.
Would suggest against leaving Austin though or at least avoid going west.

I really miss the bacon at the Capitol. It's a terrible thing to lament. I know it is! but it's a terrible thing to lose.

Halloween is upon us my friends. What's your favorite spooky tales, ghost story, haunted happenings, scary movie, spine chilling book?

Living where I did when I grew up I knew many ghosts and saw many things. My ancestral home was steeped with history and death. Things haven't changed much.

this is a quick thanks to everyone for your patronage at the bar. the loss of carl has been a tough one, but we are ready for a fresh start. that being said, my name is sean mercer. i'm the cook and the new owner. as of october 1, we have come to the decision to rename the pub in the celebration of not only a new month but a new beginning. we have officiated it today which is the main reason for this message. the bar is now going to be known as the white trail.

our business hour is from 7am to 6:30pm. lock down is at 7pm. please uphold the policies as well as the neutral stance of the bar.

Do y'all think vacations are still a thing? Go see the sights of gas-burned Austin. Marvel at the dried-out Zilker Park. Go see the bat migration under the bridge, bet they're still alive. Clean shufflers out of the Memorial Museum. Stroll the sculpture garden and contemplate mankind's future.
