You guys are brilliant! You crack me up. I loved every one of these suggestions. I wish I could sup a wee something with each and every one of you. What a lucky blugger I am to know y’all.

Hearty cheers, folks.

Oh, the firkin and anything/anything and firkin is more than likely to have copywrite issues. There is a pub company (UK, but Oz owned), with the frog and firkin, ferret and firkin, faggot and firkin etc. That last one using the old meaning of the word, as in bundle of old brittle and dried wood.

How’s about THE WELL, AN TOBAR, and whatever a well or spring is in Spanish. With an American, a wee Scot and a Mexican. Sort of Texmex, only CalMex with a Scotch kicker. And thats your radio/tv ad.
How’s dear Paris getting on these days, the news on her is sparse on this side.

Put up a flashing sign and call it

“Cheap Drink Here!”

“L8!”

“Clean toilets!”

Line the walls with pictures of the state Governor and you could call it ‘Arnie’s’. Above the door on the inside you could have a plaque saying ‘You’ll be back’. Make it a micro-brewery and you could have your own beers with exotic names like ‘T-800′, or ‘Collateral Damage’, or, with a nod back to the days when he liked to flex his sword arm, ‘Red Sonja’

Oh now let me see:

“Still at the Office”
“The Pig and Swill”
“The Fly Half”
“The Doting Aunt”
“The Lax Buns

Or to offer you some from my home town on this side of the pond:

“The Bay Horse”
“The Pheasant” -or is that Peasant?
“The Mercat”
“The Tyneside”
“The Victoria Arms”
“The Gardners’ Arms”
“The Toll Bar”
“The Plough”
“The Golf Bar”
“The Waterside”

I can feel your pain. I work for an architectural firm. We compete in “Canstruction”, a contest for the benefit of the food bank. We make art using grocery items which we donate to the bank.

We had a team meeting looking for themes for this year – We try to incorporate the word ‘can’ in our theme.

They rejected my excellent suggestion: Cannery Row (I wanted to use sardine cans)

It seems that NONE of the young architects ever read Cannery Row and didn’t get it.

I’d love to have a drink at the Village Jester.

“The big dog’s cock” I wouldn’t be seen dead drinking in a pub called “The village Jester.”

unless its free drink for a blogging pal who is like an uncle to you (no not that kind of uncle)
