Buddy Baggins Clubhouse

[legoman]

Legoman, what's a dairy milk bar?
Honestly wonko, its only the best bar of chocolate in the world. OK, you said you'd had cream eggs, now they're made by cadbury's (boy are they good!) but imagine the chocolate part on its own, now imagine lots of it in a solid bar usually around the size of a mars bar, now you have best bar of chocolate in the world, beaten only by the fact that you can get it in bigger bars!!! in fact HUGE bars!!!!!!! Soooo goood!!!!!!
*drools*
*digs into his chocolate covered walrus*
'hmmmm'
*drools more, and offers some to Grond who sees him drooling and runs to the other side of the room to answer elbereth*

[Nimawae's hope]

Chocolate covered walrus.....interesting. All this talk about chocolate is making me hungry. But you know, I've never had a Cadbury Cream egg. What are they like?

*Takes a piece of chocolate covered walrus* Hey, I'm hungry!!!

[legoman]

you've never had a... oh dear...
they're amazing, its like a hollow chocolate egg, but instead of leaving it hollow they filled it with the most gorgeous sugar/cream/stuff. so good, go now and buy 76. You shall be converted before you finish the first one... how do you eat yours?

[Wonko The Sane]

Wow...I LOVE Cadbury's Cream Eggs, but I've never seen a Dairy Milk bar. Interesting. Sounds delicious!!

I can't believe Nim has never had a Cadbury Cream Egg!!
Don't you remember those commercials from when you were little with the bunnies that made chicken noises? Those were ACE! I have a few on tape with my old recording of the Mary Martin Peter Pan. ;)
I also have the "Please Sir, I want some more" Nissin Hearty Cup 'O Noodles on that tape, and the original "Mmmm Good" Campbell's soup commercial." Also on that tape is an Osk-Kosh B'Gosh commercial with a bullfrog and a little kid saying "Osh-Kosk B'Gosh" in a really cute voice.
I remember those commercials cause I watched that tape SOO many times when I was little! :D

But the sugary creamy stuff in the cream egg isn't like the sugary creamy stuff in an Oreo, it's more liquidy and it's sweeter. It's basically cornsyrupy, but it's really good.
Like I said my sister hoardes them...I think she has some hidden in her sock drawer...*roots around amongst her sister's socks and underpants and finds a cream egg*
I hate that they don't sell these all year round!

[Nimawae's hope]

Yeah, I know that I'm weird. My parents just never got me any.....but I used to love the commercials. Never had the chance to get myself any. Oh well. *Makes mental note to check up on getting those* 76......gee I don't know if the store will have that many....oh wait....were you talking eggs or bags of eggs?

Wonko keeps copies of old commercials? Gee...honey, I think you need a hobby. When was the last time you got out of the house?:D :D J/K

[Wonko The Sane]

No! I don't keep copies of old commercials, they're just on the same tape as the movies I watched as a kid because we'd tape right through the commercials rather than monkey around with the "pause" button! ;) I haven't seen them in ages though...I should watch them again. Movies and commercials and all. Commercials from your childhood are SOOO fun. :D

And I don't think the cream eggs come in bags. I've only seen them sold individually, and you won't find any in the stores until Easter, Nim so you should just sit tight for a while.

[YayGollum]

Doobedoobedoo...everybody lose the clubhouse in the forum changes?

[Wonko The Sane]

Wow...I had no idea they came in boxes! This blows my mind!

I shall just have to stock up...
Or raid my sister's sock drawer.

[legoman]

yeah, if you're lucky and you live near somewhere that is a stockist for sweetshops and your parents have a'macro' card its possible to get them in huge boxes, you know the big display ones they stack up in woolworths! brilliant!!!!!!!!
but then you die from sugar overload.

I'm still waiting for them to bring out a cream egg easter egg, you know the big eg but full of the cream... its the dream.

wow, I didn't even notice the change, I use the whole user cp thing too much. Good idea though.

[Wonko The Sane]

Yay! That would be ace!! A giant egg full of the cream!

That'd be like...Cadbury heaven.

But I didn't know they MADE other chocolate! I went to my mum the other day and I was like, "Did you know that Cadbury makes chocolate OTHER than those little eggs that Ame (my sister) likes?" And she was like, "Yes." And I was like "Oh...well I didn't!!!"

[Nimawae's hope]

Wow! We're still on the Cadbury Creme Eggs!

Maybe we should go back to the original topic before we are deleted. Uh..what was the original topic again?

[Wonko The Sane]

It's a clubhouse, kind of like a pub, I don't think there IS an original topic so I'm pretty sure we're fine talking about Cadbury Cream Eggs.
Anyway it doesn't matter much, this thread is on its last legs anyway.

[Nimawae's hope]

Sad, isn't it, how these things happen? I noticed that I was the first person to post since Nov 1 or something like that. We ought to revive it you know!

[Wonko The Sane]

If you ask me it was naff to begin with.

But nobody asks me.

[Nimawae's hope]

Well they probably didn't ask you, because they knew you would say it was naff! Besides, how many places can you go and have the option of eating walrus steak? Eh? You can't!!! Ain't nowheres you can go to find such succulent steaks!!!

[Wonko The Sane]

*grimaces*

Yech...who'd WANT to eat Walrus Steak?!

[legoman]

Hey, we went to great lengths to get that steak, now you can just be quiet and eat it...

hmm, I think this kinda lost its balance since buddy disapeared, he used to keep it nicely in order and draw more people to it, unfortunately now its us 3 and well lets be honest we are not the best at keping things on topic are we!!!

[Wonko The Sane]

*Stands on head*

"You are old, Father William
The young man said
and your hair has become very white
and yet you incessantly stand on your head
do you think at your age it is right?"

Topic? What's that?

[YayGollum]

Argh! I hate seeing my oldest and most favoritest threads die! The Gollum Fan Club! That long named bar! This place! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *collapses, then eats random Cadbury creme eggs* What a great topic! Discussing chocolate! What's better? Dark, milk, or white? Dark all the way! :rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

Ooooh...Dark!!!

*stands on her head and quotes again*

I must go down to the seas again
to the lonely sea and the sky
and all I ask is a small ship
and a star to steer her by.

[YayGollum]

Thank you. Yay for dark chocolate! *stands on his head, too* No, I'm not getting inspiration for crazy poems. I'm not remembering any good ones, either. The blood is rushing to my head. *plops back down* Ugh. Ick. :rolleyes: Ummm...what's the greatest thing about this clubhouse? Sure, the super informality. Sure, the walrus steaks. Sure, the fact that this is the home of v&f. What else?

[Wonko The Sane]

The home of Wonks On-Head-Poetry-Recitals!!

*Stands on head again*

"The world is too much with us late and soon
getting and spending we lay waste our powers
little we see in nature that is ours
we have given our hearts away a sordid boon"

Mmm...Wordsworth...
And the two preceeding quotes were Carroll and Masefield I believe.

[legoman]

*Legoman runs back from the toilet*
'Nobody touch the walrus steaks I think they're off, nobody's had any have they??'

[Wonko The Sane]

:-P

Legoman was in the toilet.

[Gary Gamgee]

gary wakes up brushes his teeth and washes his hands. 'excuse me what?

[Wonko The Sane]

Are you aware that Legoman was in the toilet?

[YayGollum]

"Augh! That scary Gary person is here!" *hides* "The toilet thing wasn't that funny. :rolleyes: oh well. No, lego dude, noone has touched your steaks. I was thinking about it. Very yummy!"

[legoman]

'phew'
'You know I don't even get your toilet joke, I never said I was IN the toilet, that would have been quite amusing... nevermind. I just ran back FROM the toilet... still, the steaks are off'

*legoman throws steaks out of the window and they hit sam gamgee who has started his sneaking around in other peoples gardens again*
'ha! serves him right, nosey little hobbit.'

[Wonko The Sane]

*Shakes her head*...I hate that hobbit.

[legoman]

have you seen the extended dvd thing?? cos Sam comes over a lot better in that thatn in other things...

still you are rather hard on him considering he's just been killed by being squashed by some walrus steak!

[Wonko The Sane]

No, I don't feel a bit sorry for him, and what's more...I don't...um...
I still hate him.

But I HAVEN'T seen the extended DVD. :(

[legoman]

ah well, that explains it, you are just not as educated in the ways of... hang on I've figured it out! You're jealous of sam Gamgee cos he's in a loving relationship with Elijah wood, typical, you women are all the same. *legoman looks away* I'm not interested anymore, I'm off to cook some pancakes.

[Wonko The Sane]

But I don't WANT Elijah. I've got me a man...There must be some other reason why I hate Sam. Maybe that he's stupid? Yeah..that might be it.

[YayGollum]

Argh! It's because he's evil to poor Smeagol! Smeagol the Hero! The only reason he hates poor Smeagol is because of what he knows about him from Bilbo's story. That's just craziness. Why would the evil sam hate poor Smeagol that much just from what he did in The Hobbit? oh well.

[legoman]

he doesn't hate him, he was just playing good-cop/bad-cop, with frodo.

[YayGollum]

Oh, okay. That makes everything better. Now I don't hate him at all. :rolleyes: Actually, I don't think that the evil sam is smart enough for something like that. He's just too simple and honest. Ick. That's one of the reasons I hate him.

[Wonko The Sane]

Yeah...gotta hate that honesty...

No...I really hate him cos I can't abide by that much stupidity and density and stupid denisty residing in one person...erm..hobbit...

[Nimawae's hope]

Everyone in hears blasting Sam!?! Poor thing.
Oh well.

Legoman get me a steak....I'm famished from the incredibly embarrassing results of Snaga's British test.....AAAUUUURRRRGGGHHHH!!!! TOO MANY TESTS!!!

[Wonko The Sane]

Snaga's British test was BRILLIANT!!

*says that cos she passed...and she's horribly biased towards anything to do with the orc*

[Nimawae's hope]

Yes, I could tell that you were rather biased. But that's ok, because I didn't say anything against it in the first place. I'm just horribly depressed at my ignorance.

[Wonko The Sane]

I scored you...go and check it out. :(

[Nimawae's hope]

That sad face you gave me was not a bit comforting. Now I'm already depressed again.:(

[legoman]

oooh, theres an english test, I'm missing everything at the moment, I've got to finish this term - roll on thursday night. But its none stop work till then and then I get to come on here as per usual, not good, I have to read about 4 pages of every thread to catch up - argh! I hate work...

Whats wrong with honesty?

[Nimawae's hope]

There's nothing wrong with honesty. It's just that it made me depressed that much more quickly. I don't like being depressed. Say legoman, do you think you could be my English tutor....PLEASE! *Looks at him with pleading eyes* I have humiliated myself......maybe you can help me repair the damage....

[Wonko The Sane]

Honesty is good. Relationships should have it.

[legoman]

why do you guys need english tutors?
Whats wrong with your english?
Whats so good about mine?
I'm honest, am I depressing?
Oh dear, I don't like the way this is going... so who likes lined paper?

[Wonko The Sane]

I just want an ENGLISH English tutor.
To teach me to be English.

And he has to be an English English tutor becuase then he is an English tutor of English nationality.

Plus if I figured that with an English English tutor it'd be fun to hear him give lessons and I could snog him on breaks.

Anyway, that's pretty much how Snaga and I met. :)

[legoman]

So you keep telling us...lol.

I'm really not sure our accents are all that brilliant you know, its just english. I think you go over the top a bit there.

[Wonko The Sane]

No no they ARE brilliant! I totally love your accents!

Snaga's soo confused that the "novelty" of his accent hasn't worn off.

I told him it never would. ;)

[legoman]

Lucky him.

Haha, you're all mad, the lot of you, all you accent loving americans. Quite insane. I'm so happy for you.

[Wonko The Sane]

I AM mad and I like it!

And thank you. I'm happy for you as well.
:)

[legoman]

why? why are you happy for me, I have done nothing to warrant this wanton happying...

Hey where Nimawae gotto, I have heard from her in ages!

[Wonko The Sane]

Legsieman, Snaga suggested I sing you the song I texted him earlier today.

It's funny. He thought you'd appreciate it.

"I love you, baby.
I love the way that you walk.
I love you, baby.
I love the way that you talk.
I really like it when you call my name.
*imitates girly voice* Hey, Braky-Waky.

Oh-oh, I like your sister.
I like your Aunt Louise.
I like your doggie.
Hey! I even like his fleas!
I really like it when you tickle me-he-he-he-he-he-he-he...STOP IT!!!!

*doop doo doop doo doop doo*
Somebody left a caaake, out in the rain.
OH NO!!!
I was gonna eat that cake!
But now it's all wet and I don't think I want any!

We could get married.
Just the two of us!
And you could get a job driving a school bus.
I love you baby!
Will you marry me?

You don't have to decide right away.
Think it over.
Who's it gonna hurt?
Hey, where ya goin?"

[legoman]

hehe, thats great, who's that by??? hehe. I like the tickling bit, hehe.

I'll have to type the words to 'lah-di-dah' at some point, you'll love that, some nice english language in that, oh and it was snaga's favourite off that tape I made for tookish which we played on the edinburgh trip.

[Wonko The Sane]

It's from Space Ghost.
It's sung by Space Ghost's sidekick Brak.

It's funny!
Go to http://www.adultswim.com/shows/spaceghost/index.html for other stuff.

[legoman]

Hey thats the guy you used to have as an avatar. it all makes sense now. cool.

I forgot to look out for those lyrics, I'll get them soon.

[Wonko The Sane]

Yeah, he used to be my avatar...
But more because I have his logo saved on my sucky Space Ghost page than anything else.
I was desperate for an avatar.

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary is out walking in the a part of the Shire he hasn't been down for quite a while. The sun is bright and high in the cloudless sky, the air is lazy and warm. Small flying insects fly around annoying Gary intensly. Paying as little heed to the midges as need be, he notices out of the corner of his eye, the old clubhouse. He hasn'y been there for a long, long time. Wandering over he hopes the old gang are still there and, more importantly had they had any news of Bagcrumble, whom Gary hadn't seen since the duck went off a chicken.

As he gets closer he sees the front door is off one hinge and flayling gently in the breeze. Cob webs cover the porch. He stops. To his dismay he realises the place has been abandoned. 'Too bad' he thinks and wonders over to the very window that Kit Baggins once carefully poured a cold cup of tea onto him out of. And peers in. The place is empty ramshackled a gang of cochroaches where assembled near the fireplace, appearing to make plans. Just as he was about to turn away and go he notices a bottle sticking out the side of the sofa and decides to investigate. He goes in.

The air is not as bad as he thought, the constant breeze has kept it kind of fresh. So he sits down and picks up the bottle. 'A half full bottle of vodka' he exclaims and pours himself a drink.

'Aahh I remember this place'

As he slowly gets drunk, and more incoherrent, he reminiscences.

'Trying to convince Elbereth to eat a special muffin:D '

'Taking Truor down the offy'

'All that trouble with the place burning down '

'Legoman's guitar'

'Wink murder'

Gary promtly falls asleep.

[YayGollum]

Truor shows up just because I happen to love this old place. "Hey, is there any fish in that vodka? Wait. What happened to this place? The last time I was here, so was legoman and tookish and Wonko! It was finally destroyed? That's too bad. Are you awake or not?"

[legoman]

we're dozing.

[tookish-girl]

Hey didn't this place get blown up or something?

Well, I can see there's still some kit-kats left on the floor.
*tookish sits herself down and has a break*

[Elbereth]

Elbereth passes the rundown clubhouse and notices smoke coming from the chimney. 'Could it be? Could the Clubhouse be up and running again? What timing! Just when I was getting an itching to visit old friends in a nice bar.'

Knocking on the door, Elbereth enters the old clubhouse to find Legoman and Gary lounging on a couch, Tookish sitting in a nearby chair munching on some kitkats happily...and Trouor rumaging through the bar for some Vodka and Fish to wet his whistle.

"HEY EVERYONE! It's nice to see some familiar faces! So what's going on? Hey Truor, could you find me some Elderberry wine in there while you are looking. Thanks!"

Elbereth happily sits down on plush armchair, causing a cloud of dust to fill the room...

*Cough* *Cough* "Sorry about that guys."

[legoman]

hello elb, didn't expect to see you round here so soon after the refurbishment, you know, they had to do something after this place turned so surreal - sorry guys, I fear some of that may have been my fault...

anybody want a sardine???... I don't eat fish.

[YayGollum]

Truor reflexively glares at the Elbereth lady but grabs the drink for her anyways. "Here you are, miss. Hmph." :rolleyes: "How did this place die down? I forget."

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary wakes up choughing and sees the other guys 'Hey everyone' he rasps. 'Truor is there any water over there' he says whilst inadvertantly swiping the Kit Kat out of tookish's hands and greedily gobbling.

'Ahh' he says 'That's better'

[Elbereth]

"Thanks Truor." Elbereth said with a hurt and pensive look on her face.

"And Nay on the sardine Legoman...it looks a bit gamey to me. Anyway, I'm curious to know too...how did this place die down. I've been away for so long, I forget."

Elbereth takes a sip of her wine and tries her best to relax in the uncomfortable dusty armchair.

[YayGollum]

Truor delivers a glass of water for the crazy Gary hobbit, then lounges on a sofa. "Well, I remember something about a walrus. Am I close?"

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary drinks water and thanks Trour kindly. 'I'm not crazy. Have you seen my talking duck lately?'

[Elbereth]

"Me thinks we are all a bit mad in here actually."

[tookish-girl]

I agree, we all go can-can!

Tookish seems to recall something about a light sabre fight but knows that isn't the reason we all stopped coming here.

Actually since this is a clubhouse shouldn't we all be eating Club biscuits instead of kit-kats? I like the orange ones myself!


Can't beleive I haven't made that joke before!

[YayGollum]

Truor recoils. "Ack! No, I haven't seen that scary talking duck! And I hope to never again! Anyways, what's a club biscuit? What other colors are there?" :confused:

[legoman]

ah, the dying down of here, I seem to recall it may have been my fault cos I scared people away by going hunting for giant walrus' and then crushing the clubhouse and building others and then eveyone just got confused and I can't remember what happened.

I wont do it again, I promise.

do we have any mint club biscuits, they're the best ones.

[YayGollum]

Truor looks at the legoman dude with all kinds of surprise. "Oh. I didn't think you were that evil. oh well. I am now picturing a green biscuit thanks to your talk about a mint something. Biscuits should not be green."

[Elbereth]

"Perhaps we can show those brits our wholesome, down home, southern style, buttermilk biscuits! Mmmmm....I'm getting hungry already!"

Elbereth begins to daydream of baskets full of freshly baked buttermilk biscuits. Then she remembers the point of why Tookish girl brought up the biscuits in the first place...And her fantasy comes to a screeching halt.

"Actually, if I am to have anything clubbed...it would be soda. Club soda is great! And gets out stains in a jiffy too! ;) "

[legoman]

buttermilk - ick, that does not sound appetising!

try some nice ginger biscuits or something.

hehe club soda, that just doesn't work in my head, not at all. how do you drink a biscuit? silly silly...

*legoman downs a bourbon and turns towards the fireplace (I hope we have afireplace...)*

[Gary Gamgee]

'Hey legoman can I have a bourbon? Where you find that?' Gary trips over a small thing.

'Ahh Bagcrumble how I miss him. He's never deliberately set out to frightened Trour, at least I don't think so. Why if he was here he could tell if Club soda was the same as Cream soda or more like tonic water? Cream soda with a scoop of ice cream mmmhhn' Gary trips over the same small thing.

'Hang on' he thinks 'wait here' and nips out, carefully avioding the small thing, and goes next door to the conviently situated convience store. And buys goods.

'Hey' he comes back 'I got beer I got Kit Kats I got cream soda' and chucks tookish a packet of orange club and legoman a packet mint ones 'save an orange one for me tookish'. Pours himself and Elbereth a glass of cream soda with ice cream.

'Hey tookish how about a sing-song' and starts singing

'If you like alot of chocolatte on your biscuit join our club'

[legoman]

*legoman joins in at the end of the song*

'Quack!'

'Hey, Gary, here have some bourbons which have been blended into Earl Grey, it's a delicassy, its called an Earl-bourbon Soda, they're all the rage in Cornwall (the spinning county).'

*legoman pours Gary a drink out of a suspicious looking jug which appears to be steaming a form of green smoke*

'Yum!'

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary Declines Legomans offer gently*fearing the club killing dude*'No thanks I'll just have a bourban'

[YayGollum]

Truor watches the others and their craziness as he goes on a rant. "Yes, buttermilk biscuits are the best. But only when they're nice and flaky and buttery! I've never hear of the types that taste like mint. Sounds scary. I've had orange ones before, but those had lots of cheese in them. Very good. Did we get any club soda, by the way? No singing for me. Ick."

[Elbereth]

*Takes a sip of her cream soda and ice cream that Gary so thoughtfully bought for her. *

"Yum! I never had this before...not bad!! Thanks Gary! That was very nice of you. So how much do I owe you for the ice cream soda?"

Then overhearing Truor's rant, she smiles warmly and says, "Nope, we didn't get any club soda I'm afraid. I guess the Brits didn't realize that we Americans call Seltzer water, club soda."

[Gary Gamgee]

'I'm glad you like it Elbereth' he said avioding a small thing. 'it's good to know the difference between club and cream soad, the drink was on me'. Gary sits down and opens a book 'Harry Potter and The Philsophers Stone' and starts reading.
