Nope, we are human, with enhancements. We have enhancements connected to our skull, that improve the logical parts at the expense of the irrational side. The brain is still organic, but it has been chemically and electrically enhanced. Our bodies are still human, but many of us add mechanical extra limbs or such when it is useful.

Usual gin or bond-style (and personal favourite of mine) vodka martini?

If you want it properly bond-style, it's a 6:1 Vodka Martini, shaken. A dry gin one is 4:1, a medium 2:1 (or 4:1 rosso and 4:1 dry vermouth), a very dry 8:1, and a Monty 16:1 (if anyone can guess the reasoning for the name and ratio they get one on the house). All gin martini's are stirred 4 times, vodka ones are best shaken, indeed, since they should be served cold, it should be the only way, but can be served stirred if needs be.

Nice choice

/me get's and Er Guo Tou for the lady, mixes a black russian and sets it down in front of Skanky, then wanders over to Geo to see how he want's his martini...

Skanky Burns · February 9, 2004, 21:04

I think there may be a slight problem with the chips Jamski ordered before.

Drogue · February 9, 2004, 21:27

Skanky that's just wrong. Killing for food is one thing, but mindless torture of animals serves no useful purpose

Skanky Burns · February 9, 2004, 21:36

Hey, I'm not the one about to cook them.
When you finish cooking, Drogue, I'll have some chips from the left basket thanks.

FlameFlash · February 9, 2004, 22:03

Arr... irrational eh? So what do ye have fer yer gut then? More spare parts?

t_ras · February 10, 2004, 03:03

Jamski · February 10, 2004, 04:45

No, a stomach, surprisingly. They can be enhanced, by an electrical unit, or hormones, or artificial organs, but that is all where necessary. We don't suffer from indigestion and can eat more things than fullhumans, but we are still basically human. Human with modifications, improvements and attachments, but still human.

Coming up

/me cracks open a bottle of Red Sargasso, grabs some xenodonuts and empties the contents of the chip fryer onto a plate...

Enjoy

Jamski · February 10, 2004, 06:16

WHERE'S MY HOT DOG!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'll have a cat instead :

-Jam

Drogue · February 10, 2004, 08:00

Eating cats is an even worse offense

The eating of live animals is forbidden in this bar

A hot dog we can do, but American, not Korean style

t_ras · February 10, 2004, 08:00

*two blue uniformed men came and took jamski a way for about half an hour.....

sorry for the inconbinience, he forgot his weely nervstapling setion so he was suffering from some..."malfunctioning"
(as metter of fatc i think he was enjoying it not suffering, but whatever the commisar says it's true...)

Skanky Burns · February 10, 2004, 08:21

Since we can't eat cats, can I have this to drink then?

t_ras · February 10, 2004, 08:27

(i think this one's mal functioning too....)

/me ponders over this very important decision

Mmm, tuff choices you present, but I'll have a very dry gin 8:1, and since I'm a bit in forgetting mood, present me a Vodka Martini shaken afterwards, 6:1 off course!!

/me slumps a bit back in his stool awaiting his drink(s)

/me puts two martini glasses in front of Geo.

/me grabs a bottle of vermouth and puts a dash in on of the waiting martini glasses. He picks up the gin, pours until it hits gets to the top, and then stirs it clockwise, 4 times, with a long barspoon. He adds an olive and presents it to Geo.

/me then grabs the vermouth again, adds a slightly larger dash to a shaker filled with ice, pours in a couple of shots of vodka, plants down the shaker glass and shakes it over his shoulder. After pouring carefully between the glass and the shaker into the other glass, Drogue gets a lighter from his pocket, takes an orange twist and flames it, before dropping it over the side of the glass.

Enjoy

There is only one Cyborg Gorilla, and he is guarding this bar. It is the Gorilla, not a Gorilla. And he's more than enough to reject any malfunctioning Cyborgs, or any fullhumans where needs be.

So, Obstructor's Cyborg Gorilla's in this bar are not the real thing then

He is just making up impossible creatures

He should be

from this bar for frauding... at least for 5 minutes

Your proficiency as a bartender continues to surprise me, Drogue, in addittion to your skill with confusing barstories.

/me wonders now if he has one empty glass AND a filled one with a mixed substance and half spilled, and flamed on top of that!!

Clarify this for me pls. It is very important, since I need to drink those in proper order.

It could be a new University project into creating them, they could even be trained circus gorilla's. However the only true Cyborg Gorilla I'm aware of is the bouncer here, at the Rec Commons.

Thank you

I was a bartender for a while in real life, and I've been mixing cocktails for years at parties. The scary thing is my girlfriend can do it well too. Good for parties, bad for livers

I'm presuming, knowing your efficiency at drinking, that the gin martini has been drunk. The vodka martini is still there, and has a flamed orange twist draped over the side, half in the liquid, half out of the glass. Flaming orange peel is simple, just heat it with a lighter, squeeze it between your fingers and it should have a little *whoosh* and then drop it into the glass, of over the rim

It's used instead of an orange in vodka martini's, in some places.

No, what I mean is: from what stands here, it is not clear what you mean with the other glass I'm a bit

concerned if you trying to lure me in drinking a gin-vodka with an olive and flamed orange peel or not.

/me has a questioning look on his face...
