The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Heh, just checked, I joined ehmac on 07 August 2011, so have my 1'st anniversary coming up!! :D
Time flies when you're having fun, eh!! :)
Congrat's ....
Well, John, since you have been a fine customer at the Cafe Chez Marc (your coffee tab alone is now a bit over $13,000), let's say that we have an anniversary day for you as well on Aug. 7th, when everything is on the house???

Guess it is past 4PM, the time for High Tea. Still, I could make a fresh pot if anyone is interested.

Ouch, I thought I was a rather light coffee drinker!! :eek:
Like your idea of "everything on the house" on the 7'th though!! ;)
Well, maybe as an anniversary gift we could tear up your tab. How does that sound? I am still willing to have a John P. Day on the 7th, regardless of what you decide.

Anniversaries galore! - let the celebration begin!

I picked up some Iced buns ( strawberry jam centres), enough for everybody I think.

Any coffee left?
Plenty of coffee, Bill. How are you today?

Thanks Marc *blush*
Well, you like my coffee ............... any your tab is higher than John's coffee bill. Maybe I shall have to write off your tab on your 1st anniversary. Paix, mon amie.

I'm fine Marc, enjoying some of the cool evening air

Take care, good night & sweet dreams of all the new furniture you'll have!
Merci, Bill. No new furniture for us, however. :D

How is Life treating you these days, mon ami?

I am sure that my coffee tab is much, much higher than John's LOL
Much higher, Kim. You drink more coffee than John, and a higher grade/blend, thus your tab is just over $32,000. Still, the motto here at The Cafe Chez Marc is "In God we Trust ................ all others pay cash". Still, we could have you play piano at The Cafe, with a little jar for change. A few nights of "tinkling the ivories" for tips would have your tab covered in full. :D

Don, just checked out that JfL clip from yesterday. A real hoot ............. just the look on their faces was enough to make me laugh out loud.
