The Lounge is open!

Free Republic Smokers' Lounge theme song

[appalachian_dweller]

Wow! Looks like I'm the first one here today. Well, seeing as how beer is not just for breakfast anymore, how 'bout a Bass Ale this morning. I have a 4 hour meeting this afternoon so I should steady my nerves now.

How ya' been Joe? Nice to see the louge open again. I've missed the place!

[Just another Joe]

We can surely handle that.
Yeh, I've been traveling on business and just haven't had the time, energy, or internet connection to open the last few weeks.

[appalachian_dweller]

Business travel can be brutal. I refuse to do it much to my manager's dismay.

Man it's COLD out today. I need to talk to al gore and tell him to replace the batteries in his global warming machine.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', Joe ! Happy Friday ! ...

[Sunshine Sister]

Hi Joe! I missed the place too! Lots of articles to read.
I'll come back a little later for a beer. Kind of early and I'm not sure how a beer would sit with eggs overeasy!

[Just another Joe]

heh heh, don't you need to HIRE someone before you fire them?

[Just another Joe]

Hey Sis, yeh, that's three weeks worth of articles.
Business can SOOO get in the way of pleasure.

[Just another Joe]

Be back after while.
Business calls again.

[appalachian_dweller]

Beer and eggs. Yummy!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Yeah. The original signs said Firefighters for Kerry. Until someone asked me to 'fix' it ...

http://www.firefightersforkerry.com/index.php

Hey ! I see they have a link there where folks can submit photos to them to put on that website.

Maybe they'll put this one up ?? ...

[SheLion]

Hi Joe!

Wow! Look at all those articles. My goodness!

[SheLion]

[Argh]

HIYA, JOE!! If you get a chance, let me know what the Lounge's theme song is, nothing I've got on any computer will play it. I'm guessing, "Tobacco Road"?

[CSM]

Yeah, the lounge is open early enough for me to join the fun! I need a bloddy mary this mornin'!

[appalachian_dweller]

Well, I'm off to my 4 hour meeting. *heavy sigh*

Thanks for the brewski Joe!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

ps - about my tag line...
I've been following the terror thread which has been running for about 3 months with over 13,000 posts. There's this jerk who calls himself Daleel who's been posting threats against us on a yahoo forum. We think he's lurking on the thread so I thought I'd send him a greeting.

[CTOCS]

Sheesh, Joe, If I read all those articles, I won't have time for the lounge.

Anyway, Jack and coke tall with a lime......

[theDentist]

Hi guys. I've been away for a long while, and just found myself passing by. Can I have a Maker's Mark bourbon on the rocks, Joe? I already have a Cohiba.

[Just another Joe]

I'm guessing, "Tobacco Road"?

Naw, I Love this Bar.
