Without caring people there is no purpose to life ...
To Callahan's denizens, may every day bring you a new reason to smile
because there is nothing more important than innocent smiling and laughing,
nothing in this world

Conference News
A Halloween Party Chat report from JayJ:
This years Halloween Party was off to a roaring start as the
wickedwitchofthewest opened the large oaken door of
Callahans Saloon and welcomed in the strangest people.
It was difficult to tell which witch was which, which really confused everyone.
Through the course of the evening, Amber, Fuzzy, Niitaki, Moby, Sandy, the
Pixies, Heidi, Dark, LeCygne, nghnam, 3rddan, bones, Lolage and many others
were in and out of that room all night. Some came just to see 'The Bat' hanging over
the hot Cauldron, others stumbled in to taste the wicked brew being served to to all
patrons.
As the evening moved along, we were graced with the appearance of Henry the VIII,
and as far as I could tell, he left all his wives at home to come play with us.
At one point I heard him declare - and I Quote - "Wow, now this looks like the old
Callahans." end quote. We also met Glindathegoodwitch and there was
a partridgeinapeartree, tree and all. Amber was hopping around as a
wabbit, looking for greens, and someone supplied her with $20.00 bills as the only greens
to be found.
Warts, eyeballs, caterpillar legs, to name just a few of the gruesome treats that were to
be found in Callahans. At one point, the room heard a loud "Do I need to remind you
who pays your wages around here, Fuzzy?" But no one ever answered..:)
Dark was hitting the wine pretty hard, and the Pixies seemed to have some concern over what
the cat had dragged in. It was a fun filled night and will, no doubt be re-incarnated
next year, same time, same place.
Message Board News
From Sandra:
October saw lots of action over in the Grab Bag. For those of you who don’t
know, the Grab Bag is a requested access folder for folks who are over 18 years
old and can attest that they are not easily offended. The content in the Grab
Bag is not meant to be vulgar or offensive but merely a place where adults can
feel comfortable discussing adult issues in an adult way.
Sylphidine Wordsmith started us up on a journey learning and
discussing "polyamory." 147 posts later and lots of off-threads, we’re
still exploring all the little ins and outs and challenges of living our lives
in love. Sylph shared with us that Spider’s character of Slippery Joe was a poly
and that both Robert Heinlein and Theodore Sturgeon explored polyfidelity in works
that are now consider classics of science fiction. Carol, while ducking Fast
Eddie, dipped her toe in the water and led curious minds searching for a better
understanding of what polyamory was. Much debate and wonder happened along the
way. Head on over to the grab bag and maybe you’ll have something to add.
The Grab Bag is full of many interesting jokes, as well. Midustouch (Vickie)
cleared things up for us and gave us the real definition of marketing.
Lou shared a personal shopping experience with us -- OK, he disguised
it all as a joke but we know the truth Lou! Cortland exposed a
whole town that’s feeling "stiffed."
In the "Games" folder , we tested to see "What Kind of Thinker Are You?"
Cameron found out that he’s a musical thinker. Chris (Emmettman)
is an existential thinker, while Mitzi and her soul sisters,
Cane and Sue are now contemplating a move to India as they apparently
relate quite well to Ghandi and Mother Theresa. Jennielyn is a Linguistic
thinker and well, Cortland, MagicCoon (Deb) and Silky apparently think with
two minds (wonder if they have mine?). Silky was left confused... two minds but one head,
how does that work? Jules and Carol are both Spatial thinkers, though
Carol is not too sure why that is, so Jules is still drawing some pictures for her to help her
out. Kate, Pyewacket, and Dawn are musical thinkers. That’s one band I
would definitely buy a ticket to see! Interpersonal thinker Bits feels right
at home with folks like DaVinci and her fellow Callahanians. Chris (Emettman) summed it all
up for us with this phrase, "Cogito Ergo Sunk" - "I think therefore
I’ve had it." What kind of thinker are you? Stop over in the games folder and find out.
In Galaxy, Geeks and Gadgets, Cyberapto praised the merits of a dishwasher over
the manual dish washing method, reminding us that we should watch our water consumption and
Dave (FlatbushSKP) introduced us to a refrigerator that takes picture watching
to a whole new level. Misss (Sandy - that‘s ME!) asked the deep philosophical
question, "how do you unscrew your thingies?" Nah, I’m not even going to tell you the
answers I received to that one--you’re going to have to find out for yourself!
See you on the message boards!
And from Carol:
Summer has come and gone and winter pushes on. While we in the states believe in bundling up,
Chris (Emmetman) gave us the news from Japan’s headlines
Heated bra aims to save the world! You think that's bad, all Cortland
could say was "Titillating!" Which, of course, sent everyone screaming to the
parking lot. Thanks Guys!
Kirwand (Ciardubhain) debated a long while before posting the Poll
Decisiveness: Are you for it, or agai... but our patrons were indecisive about
which way to post… You gotta love this bunch of cyberdrinkers ! Callahan’s Saloon seems to have many
people who go out of their way to help others so Bits polled,
Have you learned to perform CPR? Ummm - our Denizens are or will be CPR
certified in the near future. Thanks Callahanians !
Jules & Robyn (Juliette)
disappeared on us for a while. Okay so what can we say, We knew they loved us,
we knew they could not stay away very long... We knew they would be back..:) Back - but with
attitude <:g>: Bits, Kirwand, EK and Bones gave us some hints on how to have
Cheap Thrills while the kids were gone. I’ll not tell you anymore ‘bout that
You’ll have to read it for yourself!

Joke of The Month
Important!!!! Tell all your friends and family!!!
I dislike people who forward warnings as much as anyone,
but this one is important!
If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting
a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off
and dance around naked to shake off the ticks, do not do it!
IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked...
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid now.

Poem of the Month -
"Rocks Hide"
Rocks hide
Where once a family
Had loved more than a life could hold;
Their grave is deep and cold.
My song is ended,
Joy is fled.
The singer too
Will soon be dead.
God wills what falls,
God wills what comes to be,
Rejioce! For soon the singer
Will be free.
