Roland lay awake, staring at the ceiling. The more he thought about it, the clearer it became. Every time he saw Nancy she had an Earl Grey Latte in her hand and was stroking a cat.
Tomorrow, he determined, he would establish the best whereabouts for premises and write a business plan. This one
couldn't fail.
Why, it might even be possible to offset some of the overhead by subletting space to those roving bands of Vietnamese manicurists that seemed to be setting up business wherever there was a bare spot, these days.
Single women loved Earl Grey Lattes and they loved cats. Combine the two and this could be bigger than Starbucks... and the girls would feel safe in what was really a singles bar without a lot of beery guys hitting on everything with a heartbeat.
Yep, this was it; A singles bar with a lot of mellow guys hitting on everything with a heartbeat. If they were allergic to cats they missed out.

This sounds like a Starbucks in any Barnes & Noble (a local chain of book stores that doubles as a singles scene on Friday and Saturday nights). |
|
| |
A cafe. Amended. You were a bit quick on the draw. |
|
| |
What, no Vietnamese manicurists?
(Later) Oh, there are now. Excellent. |
|
| |
Didn't he sack Rome or something? |
|
| |
what, UnaBubba? doesn't surprise me one bit! |
|
| |
I think the keyboard on my notebook is starting to expire. The 'g' and 'd' stick, randomly. |
|
| |
By the way, we now have manicurists in every outlet. |
|
| |
You probably spilled latte on it. |
|
| |
I miss out. I hate cats. But only the ones
I'm allergic to. |
|
| |
Whatever floats your boat, [Pa`ve]. |
|
| |
This seems a featherweight for you [UB]. Take existing beverage, add milk and site in a cat-rich environment. I liked the story as always but [-] for the idea. |
|
| |
Roland has very dull ideas with little
inventiveness [-]. I prefer UnaBubba's. |
|
| |
Sorry [UB], the mad cat bar is fine by me but please don't
ruin good tea. |
|
| |
Oh, but there's a cat hair in the tea.& The manicurists can't work on a hand that's stroking a cat. Roland better think on this one a bit longer. |
|
| |
Guess you had to be there? This, for those who are missing the point, is a location joke. |
|
| |
Roland is a sadly misunderstood, nasty, little pervert, with very few redeeming features. It's why I give him all of the dodgy, sleazy ideas. I feel sorry for him, but not that sorry. |
|
| |
This would work if it were also an origami bar. A venue where bored single wimmin can congregate as a displacement activity, and make origami pictures of things, then photocopy the results. |
|
| |
Yout 't' is sticking as well, grandpa. Just not with this demographic, I guess. Only marie knows for sure... |
|
| |
Ian, you're terrible you are! |
|
| |
i think a place where people can go and snuggle with cutesy animals and drink hot beverages in comfort is a great idea. |
|
| |
Oh [schmendrick] that gives me an idea for a llama and coca bar! |
|
| |
You shouldn't really mix hot beverages with cute creatures. Perhaps a duckling pub? |
|
| |
Aw, shucks-- I accidentally deleted my anno! I hate when I do that. |
|
| |
Anyway, I love ol' Rolly. But the darndest thing happened to me the other day...I was sitting in a nail salon, drinking an earl grey latte (which was delicious! You brits must believe me!). Here's the clincher: my manicurist was Vietnamese, too! Holy hell! If I didn't know any better I'd think I was Nancy! |

Holy shit! She knows I'm stalking her... |
