Have I told you guys lately how much The Hat TOTALLY ROCKS!?

..well then it's about time I did.

I've been wanting to change my template for a while now.
I wanted it to be absolutely unique.
I wanted it to be warm,and inviting.
I wanted it to reflect my personality.
I want,I want,I want!!...'Cause I'm selfish like that.

So,I shot off an e-mail to the amazingly talented,delightfully effervescent,and entirely BRILLIANT! Ms. Hat,which basically said,'..I don't know what I want,..but I want you to figure it out,and do it for me'.


Well don't ya know that after just a few phone calls,wherein I offered vague descriptions,asked an abundance of stupid questions,(she never once called me an incredible idiot btw..thanx Sunshine ;),and was essentially no help whatsoever,she came up with this marvelous new template!

I felt immediately at home.

Welcome to Sling's Domain my friends!..

In the event that the Feds raid the joint,there is a trapdoor behind the bar for your escaping convenience..

EDIT: I love this blog thing of ours.
It's where I go to connect with people,and places,outside of my daily encounters.
It's personal,and I just wanted my blog to reflect that.
Maybe you feel like that,maybe not.
In any case,The Hat can be contacted here.

Whoa! I thought I'd taken a wrong turn back there. "Bootleggers", ha! And look, everybody knows your name.

This is so awesome. Since I am a clean freak I will come by and clean the bar everynight. (just because some of these bloggers spill) It is so Slingy Dingy ding dong delightful.

Beautiful; has sling written all over it...Hat is quite the talent that's for sure and did you do the cabinetry? Really, really cool and I am so jealous because it is.....really cool. Yup, we need more adjectives.

Redolant. That's what it is. Pretty Musso & Frank's. I'm so ready to call this my second home. Considering my rent and what I could save in just drinking 'round the clock over there, I might be ready to call it first home.

I would, however, like to put this in the suggestion box: I think this needs to be Sling's Joint.

Hat is wizardly.

Sling, she sure is amazing... I'm not game to muck about too much with mine...can I have her please? Please...I'm impressed with the background... won't even begin to ask how she did that.

Looks fantastic! (Kind of miss the big cat, though.)

Yellerdawg- Oh,we have Dublin Dr. Pepper's just in the event you drive by!..Don't be afraid of change Jackie Sue,get to know it,..make it your friend.

mom- Aren't I clever to get some one who is not only talented,but actually cyber-knows me so very well!

Mouse- The beer's in the walk-in..
Help yerself doll.

Cowbelle- Of course you can get a black and tan.We brewed it fresh this morning in the cellar. ;)

Billy P.- It really is Feckin' excellent,is'nt it!
It just shows what can be accomplished,when you pester someone else long enough.

doralong-It's always nice to have a good lookin' dame dressing up the joint.
See what the boys in the back room will have.

Sage- Ha!..Okay,but it can get pretty messy in here.

rosemary-See!..The old adjectives just don't cut it any more.I didn't make the cabimets.Hat made them in her spare time,between composing beautiful music,and producing independent films..Come to think of it,I hate The Hat.

Booda Babe- Oh great,..Now I have to go look up 'redolant'.
Be right back.

Yes!..it's redolent!
And it smells nice too!
You know,I briefly considered renaming my blog 'Sling's Joint',but that has a whole other connotation for me.

Hat- BEGORRA!

middle child- Well,now is a good time to brag some more about Ms. Hat.
Many of the improvements she made aren't necessarily apparent.
Aside from the look and feel of the blog itself,she cleaned up the HTML in my template,so that even I can better understand it.
Trust me,that's no small feat!

Citizen- One of the things I did tell Hat,was that I liked the 'attitude' of the big cat.
I was more than happy to trade the use of that copywrited(copywritten?) image,for something that would be my own,unique place to come and relax...

Now,if I can just think of something to blog about.

At 8:06 PM , Blogger Sling said...

serena joy- Oh yes!..Tip O' the lid to Hat!..She's Irish you know,..only mostly Scottish,but still.

That's 4 Buds, a Jack up and 2 Johnny Blacks on the rocks. Oh and there's a joker in the corner that wants a Slo Gin Fizz.. I'd keep an eye on him if I were you boss..

I am in a constant state of Hat Awe. I come here to gawk at the graphics...and the carpentry...and the guitar vids...

Meant to stop by earlier but this no alcohol for five days thing..... say this place looks classy. But then ya got this classy dame to fix it up for you right?

So I'll have a double chard with a twist and don't put in one of those pansy wine glass, want mine in a stein!
