For Fun! The Quest: CJ Pub Crawl

Hey! Looks like our limos left without us and we're stuck here for a while:

Eugene's Pub, Ennistymon, Ireland

I'll wait here until everyone finished their base jumping and finds their way here. Take your time! [hiccup]

yay for Carolan! I was so sad to see that thread be lost forever!

I have rounded up Troy, Travis and our (sadly now empty) barrel of mead... lets see if everyone else catches up!

Wow that was some party, I've been asleep for days.   OK I'm back on track and ready to go again are we all still present and correct?

Dozey.

I'm here a little worse for wear in a good way if you get my drift.  So what's the plan now? This base jumping lark is going to take some beating!

Hey ladies and gents!!

We are back on the road to recovery I see!!! Thanks Carolan for getting us started!

I though I lost you guys for ever.  Must have hit the Irish Whisky a little too hard.  Thanks Carolan for helping us find our way.  I must say you are an incredible  tour guide.  Perhaps we should pick a meeting place, one with hearty food, and even heartier drinks so we can re-assemble in full force.

Well it is great to be back on track here. I think Beverly is right and we should meet up I do believe we have lost some folks. Come on down to the pub everyone! (Kelly)

Yeah, hurry up everybody! We've almost emptied Eugene's last cask of Guinness!! [hic]

Oh Hi everyone. It seems I got left behind. I was stuck in the loo and no one would let me out. I need to catch up on the pub crawl. Now were are we? Is the sheep still in the limo?

The sheep! OMG the sheep!!! It was still in the limo when it disappeared!!

(holding Tessa's hand while she sobs hyserically) Don't worry dearest, we'll find your lamb.

I've phoned the Gardai and they are sending over a team of hunky detectives to assist us. Here, have another bottle of mead...

Thanks I could use one. Since I got stuck in the loo, my cure has disappeared. Apparently you have to keep drinking it to keep it working. So give me two bottles please.

Wait a minute, what happened to the limo? What are we traveling in now? Did my bicycle get lost too? Ah well maybe I will hijack a goat or sheep to keep up.

Carolan wait up!!! I am back to riding this sheep again and by backside is getting sore! Anyone have a cider for me?  Where did Bigted and Dozey get too, did we leave them behind somewhere or is Dozey protecting someone's kilt again! Dozey stop that Sean is turning red again!!

GiddyUp Sheepy, GiddyUP!!!

Uh, that's not "protecting" Dozey's doing...(smacking Dozey's hands)

its ok, its ok! maybe Dozey is just extending our research project! (all in the name of science!)

Hi everyone -- fingers crossed, we believe we have the old Creaky Board back up and running (for posterity's sake).  We apologize for the downtime as servers were switched.

The old board can be reached via our Community front page, or by its link:

Ahhh, just finished my forth bottle of mead. Burp. hiccup. I am feelling fine, let me tell you! Dozey what are you doing there? How many times have we told you it is not lady like to touch a man's sporin in public. You gotta what till you are in privet.

The old creaky board is now visible to see so, No ladies you will not see me diving into the Mead!  I will leave that up to Kate for the swimming, to give us all a head start to the next site!!

Carolan where are we going next and where can I get one of those hunky guys to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with????  I always wondered why one jumps out of airplanes, now that I got a small glimps of hunky Patrick I can see why!!!

We're headed for Doolin, trad music capital of southwestern Ireland! Load 'em up, ladies!!

I'm on my way!! The sheep keeps tripping over the kilt so I have to shorten it....and can someone get me a saddle for this animal?

Another one for Tessa...

Here we are at Doolin!

And our first stop is...

O'Connor's Pub

Thanks Carolan! The only thing the sheep in the pictures need now is the kilt's do I have to dress them again?

I like the new Pub! I already started where is everyone else!!

I'm coming! I'm coming! I got held up running laps in the Diet and Exercise forum. Now I'm collapsed, pass me a cider!

Kate, Here's one for you!!

Sorry guys, I had to catch a flight back to the UK as I had a nasty flare - obviously not been drinking enough Guiness so I need to do some serious catching up.

As I touched down in Ireland I was greeted by the Garda at the airport which I thought was very hospitable.   Instead it seems that the cabin crew had called ahead complaining of a passenger drinking the flight's alcohol supply dry - namely moi!

After much convincing the Garda seemed satisfied with our tale of woe and are now looking forward to assisting us in our quest.   Please say 'Hi' to Brendan (piercing blue eyes just like Aidan Quinn who he claims is his brother - I saw him first!) and Kirian (blonde hair - he's all yours).   I have to say they both have the most wicked sense of humour and are extremely cheeky.

Gotta go as Brendan has a suprise for me...

Whew, I thought the Gardai had greeted you because of the sheep incident...[wandering away with Kirian, whistling innocently]

Load up, ladies! We're headed for Bunratty Castle.

There are a number of fascinating dwellings from different time periods to wander through (if you're allergic to peat smoke, double up on your Advair!),

Careful of the dungeon stairs...

There's even a herd of sheep for Tessa...

and they're preparing the great hall in the castle for a Medieval feast tonight! Woot! Utensils are optional!

Okay Ladies, We have to name the sheep they are getting out of hand so we need name tags for them, maybe pretty bowes around their necks or ears!! 

I found the cow bell, so I am riding one again.  June put the camera away no pictures of me drinking on the sheep!

So does Kirian and Brendan have a brother, cousin or friend with Black hair and Blue Eyes? I have always dreamed of a man with dark hair and blue eyes, guess he is only a man in my dreams.  Surpising he only shows up when I drink Tequila, interesting!!!

Carolan, You have a great sense of travel and always get us to the most wonderful places in the world...way to go!

Why, thank 'e, ma'am!  I aim to please.

Wait till you see what I'm cooking up for mid-winter.   All I can say is, I hop you like rum!
