What’s a “Crown Float”?
That was my question last night upon looking at the bar tab from FATS (apparently “crown float” is how they classify a drink such as a “Black & Tan”. I’m still a little disturbed that my Guinness came from a can. Heathens).
We’d been invited out by Dale & Morgan, and so spent the evening having yummy food, drinking yummy drinks, and screaming at each other over the speakers. Bars are definitely not conducive to the one thing that is their purpose: Socializing. The only other downfall we seemed to see? Tyler has pointed out that here in Canada, a Pint is not a Pint. He’s looking for his standard UK Pint, that he gets in the pub. We don’t have that. Maybe our favourite Microbiologist (at least the one in The Family) needs to start his own pub? Pints with a PhD. There ya go. He can tell you all about the bacteria in your glass, and why it’s important not to use antibacterials while you’re chugging it all down.
A point in favour for FATS? I requested the Mushroom Swiss burger without the bun…and the waitress didn’t even blink. They even gave me extra salad. Booyeah.
The Sock also made it to the pub, at least until they turned down the lights. Morgan snatched it out of my hands to inspect it, then tried to start knitting away merrily in her tipsiness. I practically screeched at her to stop, I’m afraid. I was in the middle of turning the heel. Thank goodness I was able to frog back and repair because it threw me off balance to the point that I mucked up a little farther down. It’s all good now. The first Hedera is getting closer to done. It’s very pretty too. There’s just one part of the heel flap/gusset that I don’t like, and will need to find a way to tighten up. Hrmf.
Robin’s socks are also done. I decided to get that right out of the way on Thursday/Friday. By the time he woke up on Friday afternoon, he had new socks. He’s happy they’re done…but sad that it’s too hot to wear them. I’m sure that come the Fall he will be begging for more socks 
No Karazhan raid this weekend due to the aformentioned trip to the bar. I’ve been told that I need to appear online more often. While fun, this may impede my sock progress (grin). We’ll see what happens :) I think that our guild leadership just wants a little Shadow Priestie lovin’. Mana battery my left buttock
