The New Moose Factory - Virtual Bar & Grill

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Fixes up 2PR infringement. Self Policed. Sorry Alex, it looks like you have double posted now - but you broke the ruly thingy too... ha ha.

Cool picture Alex! Brilliant!

Brad: Now that it is Tuesday here in NZ - can I be the first on the planet to "officially" send birthday greetings on your reallyreal birthday? Like even before your Mom, Dad, sister and stuff .... (Did the Marylin Munroe incident in Toys R Us have anything to do with Sister Malexa Crost BTW?)

... and yes Brad you should be scared - sorry buddy on your birthday and all.

Thought you might like a peek at the lunch room, PC in the RL Clinic....  

Sandwich:  ham, tomato, lettuce and mayo on rye.  (lettuce and tomato same as used in the cheese burgers...)

Screen Shot:  Moose on the loose!

Lunch box on right.  One of my workmates on left - please don't tell her I posted her on the internet...  hopefully she is fuzzed out enough.

Combines Posts: Alex will now have a double post...

C'mon Mr Server please show us the next page I now it's there somewhere....

*Pleeeeease*

Weird - I combined a couple of posts on this page to avoid the 2PR, and when I did page 26 dissapeared completely.   The only way to get it back was to post again....  thus breaking the freaking 2PR .... again. 

I think I am entering into another dimension or something - is there a worm hole lurking somewhere in the back of Dirk's closet where the server lives? - (that sucks unsuspecting forum pages along with my posts) ?

One day the truth will be known - but perhaps not to mere mortal earthlings such as myself.

OK - 0030 gottagobed, maybe the server will be less cranky tommorrow...

hi everybody how are you all,i know what you mean n_o_body its a right pain in the you know what, and then after the format installing everything then sorting out settings lol,i think i have got everything done how i want it now,and i have had no more probs so far since i installed the wireless broadband its been great

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Good morning! ( Wed 1130 NZT).

Where is everyone?  OK ....

Brad:  will be too busy doing the birthday thing (should be in full swing by now ,,, let's see 1630 PDT) - hope school was not too torturous on your birthday.  (Any g**y**m today?)  Tried to find a heavy metal version of happy birthday to link - not much luck sorry.  Will have to try and find something else - wait for the edit.

Good news!  You are NOT infected with the pregnonetsy worm!  Your condition (among others - which I have not quite worked out yet)  is in fact avianlatexhypodermichysteriotoysRusbumblebroxis - a very rare disease that affects young teenage boys in the northern hemisphere.  Symptoms include, sweating and acute nausea at the sight of rubber chickens, a ridiculous and completely irrational fear of hypodermic needles causing hysteria and general panic and anxiety attacks in toy stores and most importantly - total lack of coordination and enthusiam in gym class.

Now all I have to do is work out how to treat it - that's if the boy ever comes back after kicking it up on his birthday.

Alex:  OK he will probably be going to bed...  school night?

Jacky:  Not sure what time she goes to bed.

Moose: Still out in the garden?  its 1930! - must be getting dark .... you wont be able to see where to plant the seeds and I wouldn't want you to walk into a branch and poke your eye out...

Ryan & Nerd:  RL getting too RL?

Cybermom:  Hi I know you're watching .... always watching ....  can I help clear the tables?

[octaves 4]

Thanks all for the birthday wishes!  Haha, I went out to the Crowne Plaza Hotel for first class dinner

I am now in the process of changing the age on my profiiille...there.  Yay!  I AM FOURTEEN!!!  Yay!  No more guilt to sneaking in 14A movies! 

I'd like a BIIIIIIIG slice of birthday cake!  CHOP CHOP!  Just kiddin.  Take your oh so long time, autoservermachinethingy.  SO MANY SMILIES!

Oh yeah, my math teacher gave me a noon detention...ucky...its funny cause' I never even told anyone that it was my birthday today at school.  Well, except for my friends who already knew, but I told them not to even say boo about it...I HAAAATE the happy birthday song.  Uggggggh...

Anyways...have a happy Brad's Birthday everyone!! 

Oh yeah, I faked sick through gym...again...muahaha...DIE evil gymteacherbot!!!

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Hi guys,

    We just got back from London (Ontario, that is) where we got our winter tires changed to our summer set, picked up a few flowers and a copy of The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien.  This was reconstructed from manuscripts and inferences, and is a story of the first age of middle earth.  As you know, The Lord of the Rings ends the third age, so it is truly legendary by that time.  Chistopher Tolkien apparently pulled this together without editorial interpolation from his father's unfinished notes and works, as well as inferences in the other works.  More after I have read it.

Yes, Craig, we'll still be gardening tomorrow.  We have spread around 25Kg of grass seed, a few packets of flower seeds, both perennial and annual, and tomorrow will be adding some hybrid day lilies and ten cana lilies in addition to another fine scatter of wild flower mix.

Will be done before mother's day, if I don't get eaten by the black fiies nor carried off by the mosquitoes, which are nearly large enough to do so.  There is a West Nile virus alert up here.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Hey there everyone!

Brad: sounds like you had an awesome birthday mate!  Can I let you in on a secret?  My phys-ed teachers always wrote - "tries hard - lacks coordination" on my report card...  However I did always take my phys-ed kit  - you got detention otherwise, writing out the uniform code etc...  come to think of it we had "sock detentions too"  - in NZ you wear shorts all year round no matter how cold or frosty and long socks to the knees that have to be pulled up - at all times."

Moose:  My experience of snow driving is limited to the odd excursion up Mt Ruapehu - (the ever so slightly contankerous active volcano in the central North Island that we ski on).  Even then it is not that often that you need chains - only had to use them once or twice.  Take a look at my space for some photos...  The one of the boys standing in front of the car, was taken after the car had been turned around - tricky enough with city slicker tyres, even if the snow was only an inch or two.  I have now learnt that when parking on or near the mountain that you should park facing down the hill not up.  Even if you are not expecting it to snow overnight...

Oh stop it ...!  

*pause while the laughter of all the Canadian's from the Great White North quietens down...*

Hey! I just noticed that I am now a tourist! - Ever so glad,  my thighs were killing me from all that squatting - a particularly difficult phase, not unlike like the teenage years.

EDIT EDIT - STOP PRESS!

Moose, Moose I have just found a fix for your autoserver problem - more RAM!  After all it's an awfully long way down here to NZ, (next stop Antarctica..) and the system needs to be in top form now that I have joined the factory.  I really do suggest that you consider replacing those burnt out valves... (but hands off my clinic budget...)

May I introduce our very own Shrek the Ram, with his 27.5 kilograms (60.5 pounds) of finest merino wool all the way from the South Island, hill country in NZ.  A true ovine celeb in his own right.

See Shrek's story - link below

http://www.shellycorrigan.com/NZ/html/nz_shrek.html

I am sure he ran a little faster after losing his fleece....

Alex:  Here is the music link for the Charleston - don't think it plays on a CD player - you will need to use a gramophone...  I think Moose has one.

Flap away matey.

[homeandaway 1]

craig - thats a very nice music film indeed!, a little babish for me, but ill live! - um...cya!

~alex~

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Well, The Charleston was quite the rage in 1925 - very "in" .... they didn't call it the roaring 20's for nothing ya know....

Edit: Thurs - 1815

On dinner break - working late shift.

Lamb shank with gravy, carrots, beans, and kumara (sweet potato) mash.  Actually for cafeteria food was not too bad.  NZ$6.50.  Sorry, no time to post a pic - too hungry, it was inhaled in minutes flat.  Busy afternoon.

Oh ... and a 600 ml (1pint) vanilla Wave.  (milk shake in a bottle - yum. - only 3.8g of fat / 100 ml)

Still trying to work out the best treatment for Brad ... very tricky -  don't want to aggravate what is essentially a very deleciate condition.

[homeandaway 1]

sounds you had a great dinner my friend!, silly car, see ya later and be safe!

moose - please can i have a black tea and a peice of toast to go?, thnaks!

~alex~

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Homeandaway:  Tea and toast served in a paper bag.  Plastic is not really biodegradable, y'know.

Craig:  Are you sure it wasn't roast haunch of Shrek?  Would be a pretty old, tough hunk of mutton, what?  Everyone should joint PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals.

Gardening continues.  Put in 10 Canna's and several day lilies.  Scattered another large bunch of wild-flower seed in the natural regeneration area where all the baby spruce trees are growing.

[Nerd_Guy 4]

I would like to appologize for not being at the Moose for awhile. RLS is setting in, my grades are slipping, I'm developing a social life... I might not post as frequently as I used to. 

-Alex

[nousername 0]

so wait... is this still a bar and grill or is it a clinic?

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Nousername:  Well put it this way...

It is still the same old joint as always (great food and converstion) but somewhere back on page 23 this guy who happens to be a nurse rocked up and noticed that a couple of the patrons had medical "problems" ,  so he then set up a medical clinic in one of the back booths with a couple of old privacy screens to treat, advise and well lets face it - have some fun.  The propertior of the Factory AKA , Mr N_O_Body, who the nurse guy finds easier to call Moose, then very generously provided him with a whole raft of medical equipment that he is now itching to use - on anyone willing to make their way down from the bar to the clinic.

Like the clinics in SC4  - anyone in the factory is at liberty to adjust the funding slider, but be warned ... adjusting sliders has its consequences.

Slider is currently on max - §150 / month, patient capacity 2/15.

There are several clinic staff members who you can meet on pages 24 and 25.

So there you have it ... come on down the back and check it out,  I am sure you will find the medical staff friendly, and (mostly) competent.  I do have serious concerns regarding Bozo the Clone PhD - recently escaped from the genetics lab however.

Nerd_guy:  nice to see you back - hope you can still drop by occasionally - summer is coming...  will try not to break the joint - too much....

Moose:  So what you say about installing more RAM on the autoservergiverouttathingy?  ...and are you going to replace the valves?

And to all our non posting readers - yes you know who you are:  Stay tuned - you never know what might happen next ... Will Brad and Alex ever be cured?  Will the clinic ever get anymore patients? 

lotsaluv to all.

PS:  Enjoying the new shiny ST Server - thanks Dirk and team.  Much faster ...... 

Down here in NZ , I sometimes think we are at the end of the super information highway ...  just how does the internet work anyway?  and don't anyone tell be it is just a bunch of interconnected computers all over the world - that bit I get.

At least Dirk understands my need for more RAM....  *sniff*

[nousername 0]

*Sees the big needle* starts to back away slowly, "well i have to get going now i'm late for something" *starts to run to the door and forgets that the second door got replaced by a big pane of glass* WHUMP!!! THUD!! People in the grill wonder what just happened....  *gets up, dusts himself off*  "I'm ok..." *abcvs appears in front* *gets up and walks right into the glass* *sees abcvs above him* "hehe so whats up..." *lies back down...*

You saw nothing and know nothing....

[homeandaway 1]

Thanks for the tea moose, please can i have a banana on taost?, thanks!

cya and be safe

~alex~

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Alex:   Here's your nana toast mate, all nice and squishy ....       

*jumps, spins around to the sound of breaking glass*   
 
Whaaat?  .....  
*sees nousername complete a full 360° flip and land on his (I assume his) gluteous maximis. *

             

CODE RED! I SAY IT'S A CODE RED!  -  I REPEAT  -  
WE HAVE A CODE RED SITUATION HERE!

MOOSE! SECURE THE AREA  - IT'S A CODE 101 LOCKDOWN - STAT!  

Moose quickly swings into action unrolling the plastic roll of  "Hot Zone" tape as he goes.... 

*Enter stage left .... Sister E. Nema - "no job too big or too dirty"* 





*Sister E. Nema quickly (...well as quickly as she can for her age...) swings into action grabs a table cloth from a nearby table (pulls it out in one move - leaving the plates and cutlery in place) and stems the worst of the leakage.*

*Please remember that all bleeding stops - eventually*

"OK boys, we have got ourselves a stretcher case here,  lets get nousername down to the clinic emergency room STAT. " 
*Actually in reality the "ER" is just the next  booth next to where Alex and Brad are... * 

(BTW did Brad ever check back in after his birthday bash ... ?  He wasn't exactly discharged, just given a leave pass - I seem to remember...)

Soon the familiar sound of beeping can be heard....  Sister E. Nema in a stunning display of efficiency quickly has the situation under control ...  until ... then ...
... in the middle of everything, Dr R. Igor Mortis swaggers in, dressed in his designer scrubs, Armarni shoes and stethoscope slung casually over his shoulder, he checks his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, smooths his hair and then proceeds to generally make a complete and utter nuisance of himself, strutting about importantly and getting in everyones way.

"Well Sister - I can see that we have a bit of a sit - U - ation here!  How exciting!  I have been dying to try out my rather splendid medical skills - what a splendidly lucious opportunity! - ... and just what is that wrapped around nousernames gluteous maximus?  Looks like a rather large red nappy if you ask me ....."

"Well I didn't ask you ...."  Sister E. Nema sniffs and looks a bit put out ...  "and for your information Dr, that is what came to hand at the time ..."

"Not to worry!" cutting over the top of Sister Nema self-importantly, "It is just jolly lucky that I was here at the right time, - I happen to be very skilled with injuries of this type... right then lets take a look ... Sister if you could just whip that whateveryoucallit  off ..."

*Sister Nema scowls and unwraps the table cloth come bangdage, and Dr Mortis barges forth to inspect the wound - the bleeding has mostly stopped and it not too serious*

"Marvellous marvellous!  well I think a proper dressing (looks condesendingly at Sister Nema) should sort that out - just give that buttock a good sluice down Sister and it will be good as new."  

*Dr Mortis slopes back off in the direction of the bar, leaving Sister E. Nema to do the actual work*

*Sister Nema bustles off to get the necessary things for the dressing - she still looks extremely annoyed with Dr Mortis*

A short time later, nousername is comfortably propped up on pillows with the triple starched sheets perfectly placed and the bed covers all tucked in, with the corners mitred at precisely 45°.  
He is in the next bed to Alex's and Brad's - (actually Brad's bed is empty,  he doesn't seem to have returned yet from his birthday leave ... that boy will be in trouble when he gets back.... and Alex is still doing the charleston in the middle of the bar)

Hi, This is my first time at Simtropolis, but no trouble with the rules.

[homeandaway 1]

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Craig:  Wouldn't ewe know.  I don't think the valves need replacing, because there aren't any.  We only use sea-c.o.c.k.s.  They always operate on a quarter turn.  We really can't afford that Shrek RAM, but we could start serving lamb and mutton to those whose diet may require it.  Puts the Leg of Mutton Rag on the jukebox.

homeandaway:  Banana on toast?  Sure.  Enjoy.

nousername:  This triple scotch is on the house.

Hey!  Alex and Craig watch the two post rule!

Well, folks, the planting season seems to be over.  Now comes the season of waiting.  Waiting will fill.  Right now, we are trying to grok the biggest trillium plant in the world.  Rain, rain, come to me and douse my plantings, one, two, three.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Moose:  Sorry Mr Moose sir ... will try not to break the 2PR  - *fingers crossed behind back*

*sighs guiltily*   - BTW is the 2PR a "rule" or a "Dirktation"  - apparently there is a difference... 

I will do a "post combine" but it will make Alex double post....  I'll PM him with the bad news.

Umm... sorry to bring this up in front of the youngers, but are ewe aware of the difference in application between a EWE and a RAM?  Quite a different plugin altogether...  I can PM if ewe need any clarification...

[Moose, I assume the Factory is somewhere in CyberOCanada ... and not sure what the street names outside the Factory are, so I took a liberty...]

Ryan: Yes I saw you slink in - you may laugh now but he who laughs last laughs loudest - MOR HOR HOR HOR!  

Are you feeling quite well?   How's the exam stress?  Christina OK? 

The Moose Factory Clinic 

Slider on max - §150 / m;  Current patients 3/15 (and FYI,  Brad has NOT been discharged...contrary to what he may or may not think)

*Sister E. Nema catches a fleeting glimpse of  Brad out the window and bustles out of the door with a surprising burst of speed, previously unknown to our readers ...

(thank you very much - you are all beautiful people and I mean that from the bottom of my bedpan, but I digress...) 

... and leaps on to her trusty "nursinator mobility scooter"  sets off in hot pursuit of Brad, last seen heading down Huron Street and left into Maplesyrup Ave..... mother's with strollers and people walking their dogs, leap to one side as Sister E. Nema weaves in and out of the passerbys on the sidewalk ... - Brad is still just visible and takes another hard left into a blind side alley, with rubbish bins and dumpsters lining each side.  He stops and assesses his options...  Sister E. Nema postions the Nursinator Mobility Scooter squarely in the middle of the alley facing Brad .... and revs the engine - all 1000 cc of it - (yes I said engine - none of this woosy cleany greeny battery power business - give me GAS!) ...  the headlights on the front of the scooter illuminate her quarry, the whites of his eyes flashing....

[mqsim 1]

Ouch *sits down beside abcvs * Ahhhhhh that felt good

[nousername 0]

*wakes up* "Can someone please tell me why i'm in a hospital bed, with my butt wrapped in bandages?" *sees the scotch* "Oooo scotch.... mine now!!!!" *after finishing the scotch, starts singing can't touch this*  "U can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

My-my-my-my (U can't touch this) music hits me so hard

Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me

With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet"

It feels good

When you know you're sown

A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown

And I'm known as such

And this is a beat-uh!

U can't touch this

I told you homeboy

U can't touch this

Yeah, that's how we livin' and you know

U can't touch this

Look in my eyes,man

U can't touch this

Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics

U can't touch this

Fresh new kicks and pants

You got it like that now you know you wanna dance

So move out of your seat

And get a fly girl and catch this beat

While it's rolling

Hold on

Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on

Like that

Like that

Cold on a mission so fall on back

Let 'em know that you're too much

And this is a beat

They can't touch

Yo! I told you

U can't touch this

Why you standing there, man?

U can't touch this

Yo,sound the bells, school is in, sucker

U can't touch this

Give me a song or rhythm

Making 'em sweat

That's what I'm giving'em

Now they know

You talk about the Hammer, you're talking about a show

That's hyped and tight

Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe

Or a tape to learn

What it is going to take in the '90s

To burn the charts

Legit either work hard or you might as well quit

That's the word,because you know

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

Break it down

Stop. . . Hammer time

Go with the flow

It is said

That if you can't groove to this

Then you probably are dead

So wave your hands in the air

Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair

This is it for a winter

Dance to this an' you're gonna get thinner

Move slide your rump

Just for a minute, let's all do the bump

Bump bump bump

Yeah, U can't touch this

Look man, U can't touch this

You better get hyped

Boy 'cause you know ya can't

U can't touch this

Ring the bell, school's back in

Break it down

Stop. Hammer time

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

Break it down

Stop. Hammer time

Every time you see me

The Hammer's just so hyped

I'm dope on the floor

And I'm magic on the mike

Now why would I ever

Stop doing this?

When others making records

That just don't hit

I've toured around the world

From London to the Bay

It's Hammer, go Hammer, M.C.Hammer, Yo Hammer

And the rest can go and play

Can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

U can't touch this

Yeah,U can't touch this

I told you, U can't touch this

Too hype, can't touch this

Yo, we outta here, can't touch this *10 min later starts dancing with Alex to the music of daft punk  .... dances right out the front door, and some how catches up to brad, just in time to push him away and into a trash can just as hell on a motorized scooter is about to catch him...*

Btw, looks like the clinic got a new patient.... lol
