Happy new year everyone !
(very late, but waking up was quite hard…nit only because of this Dwarf cocktail)

Master Barliman, you shall visit my place for improving your french. And if I cannot help you, Ms Milo being an english teacher, I’m sure she will explain it the right way.
Easiest way to improve: All important words to know about are related to food, drinks, friendship… and nearby my place also a little of game with an oval ball. :rolleyes:

A nice idea, but it would be an hopeless quest, Master M. My linguistic talents were zero even when I had a memory. Actually, less than zero. And now I’ve got to the point in life where I find it difficult to remember words even in my own language. Indeed, most of my memory brain cells have called it a day and jumped ship.

Hi Master Barliman, time for 2014 breakfast. What’s new on your menu this year ?

Nob spilled ketchup on it yesterday. Does that count?

Only if it is home made ketchup.

I will raise a glass in toast with any present here in the Pony to Professor JRR Tolkien, who was born on Jan 3rd, 1892.

hom? … no, you don’t, Master of the Tabs, Taps and Traps, you don’t … rhuoommm … I simply was just a little bit absent-minded lately because I was seriously contemplating about which day it is today … huomm … mind, please, that we trees call each new day “to-day” … rhooommm … at the moment I’m considering a wise thought that came to my mind … rhuoom … one could give each new day a name or number … or even both … hoommm … but what about those days that have passed already? … huom … just reverse number and name, or is it better to add some adjectives such as “good”, “bad”, “ugly”, or “…?” huommm … see, then there’s the problem when to start …. alas …. huoommm …. I better reconsider all of this if time allows … rhuommm … so, Master Barliman, just to cut it short, as I said before, you cannot know how I feel … houooom …….. hom

Ah, I thought it was a description of the inside of your head. Certainly the noises are very similar to the Orcish noise rattling round inside my own alcohol-befuddled brain.

huoommm … so, see, Master Barliman, at least now I (!) know how you (!) feel … huom … and that doesn’t sound good at all . ..huom … so, let me first tell you that a rattling Orcish noise in the brain does not necessarily mean that your brains lack blood instead of the other liquid … huomm … I think you simply caught a cold, which also very often might befuddle a brain … rhuom … nothing serious that is at this early time of the year, but should be considered and watched furtheron …. hoommm …
… er, the other diagnosis I have right at hand is, that you tried some of that GD-liquid-stuff … which indeed has become a serious matter around here for a while … rhuoomm … might have turned out to have become epidemic by now …. huomm … all the others who joined into that are not present since days … huom … anyway, stay calm, don’t move, take a rest and try to doze or even sleep a bit, or take a nap, whatever you want …. rhuomm … meanwhile I’ll have a look downstairs and try to protcet the “Prancing Pony” from any harm from downstairs … rhuoomm … that is the trap-door just behind the bar, that is …huommm … might become just a bit uncomfortable for an Ent down there … huoommm … I hope it’s not flooded yet ….though it’s just courage that one needs …. huomm ….

huoommm … “for days” that is, not “since” … huom … I cannot correct that from downstairs … alas … huom

If you want courage down there, try some of that d****d Golden Dwarf stuff – no, even better, drink all of it. Or if you can’t manage that, dig a hole and bury it. I never want to see it again. And now I shall take your advice and go and lie down. Tell Nob he’s in charge (though that’s really a bit of a contradiction in terms…).

huommm … that’s fine, meladies and gentlemen, leaving me alone somewhere downstairs protecting the Pony from below a hidden and closed trap-door, having to dig a hole and bury that d****d GD stuff, which I never tasted, deep … huomm … yer know how risky it is to dig too deep? … huom … I’m panicked … how to do all that at once, immediately and in a moment … and who’s going to tell Nob that he’s in charge of the Pony? … hom …The Man in the Dark can’t, as he’s well asleep again ….
huoommm … ouch, narrow place that is here … huommm … though …

huommm … sorry about that me lad … huom … so, too much talkative I’m again, and so I better be quiet … huomm … foes might be listening … huom … and I better give up digging deeper downstairs …. huommm … before I get onto someone’s nerves that is …. huomm … right you are, Master Bar … indeed ´, so hush now … huoommm …

I don´t understand what problem you have if you dig deep. I’m usually comfortable underground …..

On the other hand, dear friends, to wish you all a happy night. That the Three Wse Men will leave many gifts (if they pass through your homes). I also like to make several ´King´s Cake` orders to invite all of you to breakfast. Barli, can we have some of this tomorrow?
