The Two-Headed Cow, A Publick House

[Theoden]

Also a (belated) happy birthday to you, Bugsy.

Thanks all,

By the way, should we make an announcement of our soon to be completed wonder? We could make a nice story featuring all of us, only question is who should be the great prophet .

 

[DaveShack]

What wonder are we about to complete?

 

[Mauer]

I was gonna ask, but didn't want to look stupid...er.. stupider.

 

[1889]

I think its next turn that we build the Hindu Shrine. Quick test, without looking what is it called?

 

[Mauer]

I think it's the hoobida joobida

 

[Theoden]

Mahabodhi? Though I can't remember if that's the hindu or buddhist shrine...

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Also a (belated) happy birthday to you, Bugsy.

Thanks, but at my age I don't get too excited about birthdays. 47 orbits of the sun... I'm getting dizzy.

Hari krisna, hari, hari krisna.

Kashi Vishwanath or something like that.

Spoiler :

It was the end of november of the year that would be remembered as 625 before Christ. We actually don't know why we call it that way 1889 and DaveShack were rolling a dice, while Sir Bugsy served the drinks. At the same moment Lord Parkin and Mauer were talking about the future plans for our civilization. A few moments later Dutchfire joined the conversation, and started talking about the new way of living some people in their city had adopted. It was called "Hinduism", or something like that, and it had been spreading for centuries. They were all thinking about how they could make this religion thing usefull.
Sir Bugsy: "Well, why don't you tax them, like you tax my bar?"
DaveShack: "That's actually quite a good idea!"
1889: "But we can't just start a tax for nothing, we're not dictators, we're a democratically elected government."
Mauer: "Well, we could do that, we haven't had elections in a few centuries anyway."

At that moment, Theoden came in, dragging along a knocked-out guy.
Theoden: "I found this weirdo lying on the town square."
Dutchfire: "Those clothes, they seem to be Hindu."
Strange guy: "I'm Mosos, servant of Brahman. I've come here to liberate the Innovian people of their ignorance of the One, True faith. I've set up the Kashi Vishwanath temple here."
Mauer: "Kisha Vashwat?"
Sir Bugsy: "Kasa Vishwinath?"
Moses: "Kashi Vishwanath, you fools! I've also made a bath there, and anyone enters it will feel truly liberated!"
DaveShack: "Wait a second, you can't just set up a bath here, that's against the laws." *winks to Theoden*
Theoden: "Correct, you will need to pay 1 gold to the local government for everyone that enters the bath."
Moses: "But I expect a lot of people to come here."
1889: "So we'll be making a lot of money, making that religion of yours finally usefull."
Moses: "But my temple will do a lot more for you, for example, I can provide training at the temple for three priests. And it will make your city more famous for it's beautifull culture around the globe. And it will attract more people to the Faith."
Dutchfire: "Good for you, and for us. But you will still have to pay."
And as the prophet left the bar, the officials felt good about themselves, and saw a shining future for the Innovian civilization.

How's that for an announcement?

 

[Theoden]

That's excellent.

 

[1889]

Yes, very nice. Also I just checked and our prophet's name was Moses.

 

[dutchfire]

Changed the name

 

[dutchfire]

I've just beaten Immortal and Deity today, it feels good!

I just started up a duel map, future age, monty, peter as opponent, made sure he didn't have oil, and killed him. You could try too, it really feels good .

 

[1889]

My mother-in-law just arrived for a 4-6 week visit, my snow machine just busted a cylinder, the muffler is about to fall off the car, the house is sinking (but only a little bit) and the dog broke his leg.

A drink would be very useful, something strong like a Trans-galactic snorgel blaster. Better give the dog one too.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

One Trans-galactic snorgel blaster coming up. I got the recipe from some guy named Ford Prefect. Plus one for the pooch.

 

[GenMarshall]

Just noticed this place and compleately forgotten about this place.

I wonder if this place has any sake and green tea .
