The Liberty Pub - Halloween Edition - OPEN



This coming Saturday is Halloween! C2 is celebrating all this week, by introducing liberty pub posts with a fun, scary Halloween classic!

What better way to kick things off than to bring 2 masters of horror together, by having Vincent Price perform Edgar Allen Poe's classic poem, The Raven?

  4. Pi guy, is this a trick or a treat? The dripping blood in the pub sign is a festive touch. LOL

  5. DEZ, you are looking a bit more menacing than usual.

  6. Hey, snow - I'm glad you're here. Would it be okay if we email you about something related to C2? We want to toss something across your desk if that's all right.

  7. When my wife and I were dating, I said I wasn't much for poetry, so I read The Raven to her.
    I got as far as the first
    Quoth the raven
    (squawk!) Nevermore (in a high-pitched bird voice) (squawk!)
    She cracked up.

  14. Evening all. Bar Wench, may I have a large Bailey's? I ran 26.2 today and I DESERVE it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Pink has it so I have access - but I wanted permission from you first. (I hate to send anyone anything unsolicited.) You'll hear from me soon, snow - thanks.

  17. Geepers, take that fake chainsaw out of your head.
    It is fake isn't it?

  18. Jim in Virginia,

    A marathoner eh? How'd you do?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Pi did ALL the work - really. I just swapped out a font!

    Hey, Jim - that's my drink! I'll join you.

    ReplyDelete
  20. experiencedtraveller, thisis the best I can do!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Geepers- since you asked, 4:35. Slower than the last two. I'm getting old.
    Every time I've run one ,when I finish I figure, fine, done that, don't need to do it again. Then a month or so later I start thinking about the next one. It's a disease. Maybe a mental illness.

    ReplyDelete
  22. DEZ - glad you made it. Decanted blood, eh?

    Yep...and it's getting easier to watch as time goes on.

  25. Gak, a decanter is a vessel normally used for wine.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Can I get a decanter of blood over here?

    NO! I have to draw the line somewhere!

    ;-)

    Love you, DEZ!

    ReplyDelete
  27. DEZ, most folks just drink it straight out of the package from the blood bank.

    ReplyDelete
  28. DEZ, I think you need a blood bank bailout.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow, I don't usually click the links! That looks really good, Brandy!

    ReplyDelete
  30. DEZ, you showed up with a quiver full of puns, I see.

    It can be. My dad started running when he quit smoking in his late 40's he's probably run 100 since.

    Me, just one.

    Was it the Marine Corp Marathon? That's a nice course.

    Well I had planned on flying the straight and arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Geepers, yep, Marine Corps. 30,000 runners. Perfect day for it.

  34. Hi everybody! May I have my usual Bombay martini Brandy?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow, I don't usually click the links! That looks really good, Brandy!

    Nothing but the best for C² ers!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have to go feed the wolfpack. Well, house wolves, not werewolves, but they need food.
    Back in a bit.

  37. DEZ said...
    No blood?
    Where is the local blood bank?


    No blood?

    I'm guessing the Sangria tastes kind of weak, then.
    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  38. I always click the links, and yes I was rickrolled too many times to count! LOL

    Take a bow for that one. Let's see how far this can be strung along.

    So if you use a decanter for wine, the wine is not, therefore, decanted? lol

    ReplyDelete
  41. DEZ said...
    Bail out the blood banks!


    No bail out for blood suckers!

    ReplyDelete
  46. DEZ, I was saving that one for later.

    Oh well, there are other versions for other days.

    At least, it should be dedicated to Running Bare,
    working in the lab late at night
    so we can get our new website

    ReplyDelete
  47. Evening, all. I start my new job tomorrow so I think I'll get really loaded tonight, Brandy. Sound smart?

    ReplyDelete

  60. Sorry pi guy.

    The more the merrier, DEZ!! It's all good!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Pi Guy, I might tune it in for awhile but in all actuality I can probably step outside and hear it. I saw fighter jets up a couple of hours ago so wondering if they'll have a flyover.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hillary is coming?

    We do flyovers for that now?

    ReplyDelete
  63. THREAD KILLER. LOL

    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  68. DEZ, I have one of those witches, LOL, will have to make a sign like that.

    ReplyDelete
  69. {gak} - (DEZ)

    Well, once upon ...
    no really, as a member of a pub-quiz team named after (Dirty-) Harry Callahan 'Callahan' I thought of that name to be very fitting plus a part of my date of birth.
    The founders of that pub-quiz team are both policemen and so the story goes ...

  70. {Brandy} you are such a darling. :-)

    Anything for you, dear Callahan! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  72. Later, C2ers, I need to get a few projects done around the house. See you all later tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  73. {Callahan} We can rule out 23 as the month. And pretty much the year.
    You were born on the 23rd of something.

    Reminds me of a song,

    I saw them in the swamps of Jersey a few weeks back. Awesome stage. They sounded fine. I'm not a big fan but respect the professionalism of the performance.


    Next up: Bon Jovi at the Meadowlands in 2010.

    A large brandy please, brandy.

    Meanwhile, this story makes me both laugh & cry:


    Biden Team Drafts Its Own Counterterrorism Strategy After Defense Dept Declines

    In case that wasn't clear, not a single strategist in the Pentegon was willing to draft a paper to defend the Biden plan. No one wanted to put their name on the document. So, members of Biden's staff -- political appointees -- had to write the brief.
