You know living a life of ease

I understand. I almost submitted "Butternut Grove" (since it is an edible nut), but reconsidered. I refuse to end up like Barbaro.

But the food run low and the meat went bad
And she said to the boy one day - ~gl

Q for Linda re: above submit: is not meat a no- brainer..? , IAE - But what of the meta-food word 'food' lol - all joking aside, I've a feeling its too generic...not a valid submit: no argument here....thoughts ? Thank you

I allowed "dinner" for mandoann, "meals" for RM, so "food" is on just as solid ground. I'm placing these in the "miscellaneous" category on my tracker. Add to these Jesse Joe's flourish earlier today and the foods have now overtaken the beverages!

[Oh, Linda]

From Triangle...

Rock lobsters and tuna fish

[teherie]

"...just fetch some wine and set it there" (Minstrel of the Dawn)

"...where maps are contained and what's left of his brains when his crew threw his balls to the sharks" (Too Many Clues In This Room). I guess that counts as fish food but remember I didn't write the line, G.L. did.

[Jesse Joe]

Boathouse



I'd sooner eat down at the boathouse,?????

Or I could be back at the alehouse, with a flagon or two ????

What do you think Oh Linda ! NO, YES, Maybe !!!

[Jesse Joe]

"Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle'

And the drinks are passed around

[RM]

Jesse Joe appears to be in full gallop.....I'd best use my whip

Song : High And Dry

Lyric :

Her sails billow like bubbles, while you sip your daily doubles

For the same reason dinner, meals and food worked, I'd say yes to eat (counting in miscellaneous category). Since I did allow "gin bottle" from Circle of Steel it would seem logical to include alehouse too. Flagon is questionable, however, but just for a moment. People do say things like "drink a pint" with the assumption meaning beer/ale/stout, etc. I wonder if anyone ever says "drink a flagon." Presumably that's what GL had in mind, especially since it's in the same line with ale. So let's go for it and err on the side of yes. The key here is they are all in the context of food. Respectable indeed, Jesse Joe. Good work! This brings the food and beverages to an even tie!

The two of you are tied at 12 unique submissions apiece! Giddyup!

[Jesse Joe]

Oh RM has a whip too, or he borrowed it from Char !

[Jesse Joe]

Song: Long Way Back Home


All I have is my drink
And the time left to think
While time slips away

[Jesse Joe]

Song: Lazy Mornin',


Another lazy mornin', come suppertime I'm gonna light my barbecue


I've checked to see that it had not been used so far... It's kind of surprising that it hasn't, maybe I've missed it, if so, {My Apologies}

[RM]

Holy Smokes ! Jesse Joe is flying......

Song : Rosanna

Lyrics (2 submissions) :

With kisses for a king and coffee on a silver tray

Song: Oh Linda


Painted eyes and lips like wine

Me, too, since from the same song we got "coffee's in the kitchen," from your rival RM no less!

Are you sure ? I found "dinner's served" from Yarmouth Castle, but not from Rosanna.

And all is well by nine"

Hi RM--fezo beat you to it on day #2. C'mon, I know you've got another one in you!

Just kidding........thank you for the clarification.

Nope....he's spent. To ensure he retains some value for stud services, it's best that I rein in this well-lathered and weary steed. I concede the race to Jesse Joe.

BTW - see the Stonewall vistory - Cabaret - you'll see the Lighter, the Beer can, the glass of beer; and.. the cigarette dragged upon..

I've gone back to listen to that "sound" and now I've managed to convince myself it's the beverage/quaff sound....

[Don Quixote]

I think we missed one of the earlier ones. It comes from a song whose title is two synonyms. Can anyone find it?
