Tahiti, do you said?
"Scrumpy in full Maori (te kehukatiki-mana ao scrumpitipu) or kiwi slang (scrump) refers to a variety of cider produced by the Maori abundant in New Zealand. Its origins are ancient, lost in the mists of time and whispered rumours abound in New Zealand public toilets of how and where Scrumpy came from. Some facts are agreed upon by all and sundry. Any New Zealander will be able to tell you, for instance, that Scrumpy is gathered from fallen logs by the native Maoris. They suck the fermented apple juice trapped within the logs out with their elongated noses before returning it to the hive where it is bottled and distributed."
Certainly, Master Barliman, I prefer my "Tapas".

(Even, I prefer your suggestion about the Mrs. Tunnellys´s haberdashery......)

I just realised that Maori has a very nice ME anagram...Maybe our dear Inkeeper digs really deep to make the scrumpy

Master Barliman, I'm very thirsty. Please bring me a barrel of wine, a hobbit sized one. 
Offline
You mean a small one, then.
Offline
A thirsty hobbit needs more than a small one....

Offline
Ahem, by the way I have a large one too! Thanks Master Barliman! 

Offline
You are damned right Holger, hobbit sized barrel cannot be a smal one !
Cheers Fellows !

Huoommm ... did my work for today ... rhuoomm ... Ahh, Master Milo, good ol' chap want trying to run out my entries tonight ... rhuoomm ... I'm afraid this night won't suffice ... rhuom ... unless you haste a bit .... gruuuooou°u°mm ...
Offline
Very unlikely indeed Master Ent. Would be quite a few entries for one night I believe.....

rhuoomm ... Master Caster, so you might be right ... huoommrhuoomm ... as he's at the bottom of uprising mountains at the moment ... gruoomm ... well, what about a nice bowl of clear-clean-non-sparking-honey-coloured-watery-liquid-which-is not affected-by-drowning-rats-or-furballs-of-cats-though-providing a taste of appely-watery-liquid ... huoommm ... or whatever it is ... huoomm ... Master Barliman might find out what I mean ... he's used to cope with me, ya know ... rhuoommm ... patient man that is indeed ... huom ... so, cheers, Master Hsf62 ...

Santé les amis !

Patient indeed, Master Tree, and not much prone to hastiness myself these days. I've taken a leaf out of your book (or beard...not sure which it was).
Offline
huoommm ... there wasn't a leave in the book ...alas .. and, by the by, I never send you any book in which a tree and leave could be hidden ... rhuoomm ... nay, that's what I know ... huoomm ... wonder what you are talking about ... rhuomm ... hom? ... better top up this bowl ...rhuoomm ...
Offline
i initially read "leak" instead of "leaf" ...

Offline
huooommmm .... hom? ... hmmm ... so today it's time to order some tiny-metal- Phaeton-design-things, isn't it? ... huooommmm ... fine figures they are ... saw them about some months ago ... huomm ... very nice indeed ... somehow "back to the roots" it is, right? ... huommmmm

chris tubb will put one of each aside for me, so it was a good day.

Huommm ... not necessary to provide this here, Master Cameosis ... rhuoomm .. better keep that barkeep busy here filling my bowl again ... rhuoomm ... alas ... where's the master-Barliman-barkeep ? ... just see them straying cats around here ... rhuoomm ... anyway, a good day it was indeed ... ended with an empty bowl, no barkeep to take care of that, leaves falling ... preparing to rehearse that Christmas Tree again after having cleaned all them wargskins at the front door properly ... rhuoommm ... though, to be honest, I really cannot haste each and everything ... huom .. though I try ...

You're very useful to have around, Master Tree, you know your duties and I don't even have tio keep an eye on you. Unlike that scalliwag Nob.
Offline
rhuoommm ... thanks a lot, Master Barliman, but what about my empty bowl ... huomm ... yes, I do know that your memory is like a lumber-room ... rhuoomm ... I'm sure we'll cope with those minor problems in the ent ... rhuoommm ... rhuoomm ... err, ... problem is that I caught Nob while you were absent ... let him clean the stables in the backyard of the Pony ... rhuoomm ... that's why he cannot help inside the tabroom now ... huoomm ... he might be busy for at least some more days to cope with that ... ahem ... you know what .... rhuoommm ... he's reliable and sometimes does what you ask him to do ... rhuoommm ... you just have to be a bit more patient ... huommmm ... but that's what we have learned in the past years ... huoomm .... but, who is "tio" you let keep an eye upon me? .... rhuoomm ... never heard of him before .... huoomm ... must be a spy-thing I guess ... alas, could be Boris ... huoomm ... I forgot ... Boris, the spider, I nearly forgot about him ... rhuoomm ... yes, Pete Townsend saw him first ...huom ...
Offline
Tio? I have no idea who he is, but he keeps popping in uninvited. And the only reason Nob does things when you ask him is because he doesn't want to be stomped on by a 12-foot tall tree.
Offline
Hi Master Barliman,
Please let me offer you a drink. Take a sit and I will serve your clients meanwhile.
Offline
huoommmm ... thank you for spoiling my self-confidence again, Master Barliman ... rhuom ... I always thought that it was respect that makes Nob move ... huomm .. never considered it has to do with my size ... huoommm ... you might be right again, Master Barliman ... huomm ... though 12 feet is slightly wrong ... huom ... err, by the by, I just saw Tio at the front door ... hasty animal that is indeed, and a bit shy ... rhuoommm ... maybe I can convince him to take a part in this year's Christmas-tree-folly, once I get him ... rhuoommm ...
Offline
huoommm ... "seat" that is ... Master Milo ... anyway, thanks for serving me ... rhuommm ... but why offer the barkeep a drink at all ... huommm ... it's his job to serve around here, isn't it? ... he charges you a lot just for a bowl of clear-clean-watery-liquids, right? .... rhuoommm ... ahh, so it was you, Master Milo, to have left the front door open, so that Tio just could pop in again ... huoomm ...
Offline
Sorry master Ent, the door is to heavy for me ! 
Offline
huommm ... Tio doesn't mind about a door being left open, Master Milo ... rhuoomm ... that's him ... huom ... and alas, to be honest, for Hobbits there's no door to resist, as far as I know ... rhuommm ... unless you have to rely on that Gandalf to help you further on ... rhuoomm ... huommm ... nice guy, by the way ... huom

Oh my god have you seen this??
Just when I was saying it had been 2 years since the last True Vignette!!!! this is a masterpiece!! I just hope it won't be sold at ... a master price.... (this vignette is as big and complex as Sauron at Gorgoroth which costed 69€ back in years when mithril was practicing fair prices...)
I hope you like it and are quite proud of it master Innkeeper!
