GasWorks


Wayne's World - Scene 4
*********************************************
==== Wayne and Garth approach Tiny the Bouncer ====

Wayne: Hey, Tiny, who's playing tonight?
Tiny: Jolly Green Giants, Sh**y Beatles.
Wayne: The Sh**y Beatles? Are they any good?
Tiny: They suck.
Wayne: Then it's not just a clever name? Who else?
Tiny: Crucial Taunt, just finishing.
Wayne: I hear they can wail.
Tiny: You're right.
Wayne: Party on.
Tiny: Party on.

==== Wayne and Garth Walking Down the Stairs into the Club ====

Wayne: This is the Gasworks, an excellent heavy metal bar. - Always a babefest.
Garth: And they got a pool table, too.

*********************************************

It's been 14 years since Garth said those magic words .. and now (thanks to Forrest and Vernal), it can also be said about the home of Mr. T and Mrs. Dash.

It took about 2 and 1/2 hours to assemble but that was the easy part - Forrest and Russian Teacher did all the heavy lifting getting it into the garage - a.k.a the "game room". T takes the kudos for winning the first game of 8 ball game - I won the first 9 ball game .... and C-man gets the prize for figuring out what those extra screws were for.

We debated about wether to recover the table, but .... since Watson's was closed and we really wanted to play ..... decided to stretch the existing felt into place. It all went together well - and hey, no quarters!

We'll probably still get a couple more cue-sticks (and I'd like to get a 9-ball rack for Christmas - hint hint) but we are set up and ready to go!!!

Rack'em Up and Party On!

Hey Dust ... can you remind me what the template fix is to get my links side bar back from the bottom of the page?

It's been a while, but I think the fix is to turn off either "Show Link Field" or "Enable float alignment" under the "Formatting" tab in the console (otherwise known as the dashboard :)... ).

Maybe you'll get a 9-ball rack as a white elephant gift.

Anybody up for a game of pool? :)
I am horrible. Good thing that doesn't stop me from having fun! :) It was nice to win 8 ball last night, when all my balls are still on the table! Dash managed to use one of my balls as the cue ball to sink the 8 ball! :) Whew. I'll take a win--anyway I can get it! LOL

I blame the lighting for that little mishap. Of course that just happens to support my argument for a billiards lamp over the table.
