I hope Dave doesn’t bring a drinking horn here that’s as big as that one used by Helm in the new release. I’ll run out of ale in no time!

Maybe you could serve us drinks in horns instead of glasses !!!! Just few hours until we do celebrate this new outstanding figure… with horn….

It certainly is a very nice figure indeed. I look forward to painting him.

Master Barliman,

Please give Horns of your best ale next time you see Arthadan & Imisel coming in. The bill is for me.
Oh, and I will take one also.

You’ll have to be pretty strong to lift three of those monsters!

Have you ever tried to drink out of one of those things? It’s a rare skill to manage it without drenching yourself. Most places only have a half-yard these days. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen a true yard for more years than I care to remember.

Huuooommm … a yard of ale would even be better as you then don’t have to slurp up the liquid through a very long and narrowing tube … rhuoommm … imagine that Helmy-horn were filled with a liquid … huoommm … see, it just might contain one-and-a-half bowl … hrruomm … what I think is, that the Helmy-horn wasn’t designed to take liquids … huooommm … but it’s just a guess, of course … huom

Huoommm … as for them “true” yards, I still keep one of them … huommm … and yes, I tried it three or even four times and never got drenched … rhuoommm … yes, there’s a certain skill … huoommm … I always thought a barkeep should know about that … hoommm

No, I’m not daft enough to have ever tried it. You know, I assume, that you’re supposed to down the whole lot in one go (about two and a half pints)…? Mind you, that should be well witnin an Ent’s capacity.

huoommm … well, never done it in one go as the fun of it is to share it with friends and in the ent see who’s drenched … rhuoommm … you have to know when to sip, drink or swallow while turning the yard … huom … there once was something similar in my Osning area called “Stiefel” (which means boot and is of the same shape and made of glass containig 3 or 5 litres – two sizes there were) … rhuoommm … I think it’s more difficult to drink a “Stiefel” than a yard of ale .. huoomm
