RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

Good morning, campers! It's June, school is finally out here in Ontario (as of Thursday), and summer can officially begin on all cylinders!

And, right on cue, we're supposed to get a heat dome on the eastern half of the continent. And yes, that includes Canada.

I remember some friends from around New York City came to visit us during a heat wave. When they got here, she moaned, "Oh, and I was so looking forward to getting some of that cool Canadian air!"

I just smirked at her and said, "What? You think we keep it in here with a white pickett fence?"

Anyway, it's market day, and my other granddaughter is visiting, so I shan't tary, shan't I.

Lights is filtering through the windows – and gosh, I should ask Lady Dryad to see if she can at least scrape the worst of it off!

Tea Kettle is refilled and steamin' away. There are pots of Yorkshire and Lapsong Souchow teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is ready to serve.

Today we're using Happy Camper coffee – naturally.

I've put out some strawberry goodies our suppliers left.

And I'm whipping up ham and cheese omlettes for the first 15 customers, so – belly up to the bar boys, girls, and those who know better

And take care out there, 'K?

Lapsang and an omelette assuming they are still on offer.

Got some geek work to do on the forum site I admin and then just a regular weekend. I started a possible follow-up to Paris Bares All but not sure about it. Might go back to it and hate it. We shall see.

Hi everyone. It's been so hot in Kent this past week but had a lovely walk this morning in the shade. Watched some great bands and reconnected with one of my old friends from sixth-form last night. It's been twenty years so got a lot to catch up on and hadn't realised she had moved back to the area.

I also bit the bullet and submitted my next story that continues from my old competition entry after sitting on it for a week. It's quite weird so I'm just waiting on someone to possibly tell me off 🫣 It's definitely not the popular type of stroke story anyway.

Hey Emma!

And it's been a hot minute since we had the pleasure of your company! Welcome back!

I'm sure your story is fine, and will be warmly received.

So, pull up a rock, and tell us what's been going on in your corner of Kent – which is where Lady Jay comes from, BTW. How is life treating you? And do you still do pole dancing – for fun?

Glad to have you back!

Kent is the county my late parents came from. However, the two towns where they were born are now part of Greater London. I know we have chatted before, but it's always nice to see another Brit in the bar... 😊

A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear. 😎 Thank you.

I actually haven't done a great deal recently due to the heat, but we have a portable aircon unit so indoors is relatively cool. I haven't done pole in a while due to the cost of classes going up, but I'm still going to the gym and doing stretch.

Hiya, Rumpies

Poppin’ in to say Hi! It’s gonna be hot as hell in Ky this week, so crank up the A/C in here!

Everyone’s gearing up for the 4th! Too bad our country is so divided at the moment and our President would be happy if at least half of us fell off the planet.

Oh well. I’m gonna enjoy it anyways! Headed outta town again.

I think most of humanity would be happy if HE fell off the Earth at this point. I almost dread the news some days. I hear the Supremes ruled in favour of mail-in ballots that arrive after the election date so that's a small kick in the slats for him and GOP.

According to Wikipedia, Tuesday comes from the Old English name for Týr, the ancient Germanic and Norse god of dueling, law, and war.

Dueling, law, and war, eh?

Well not sure about the dueling part – you guys will have to take that outside. Just don't upset the dumpster hot tub, see?

Law? It is to laugh in this day and age, with the Orange Slime Monster in what's left of the White House.

And war? Sure thing. Just ask the OSM about that. He can't finish what he started, and this is one time he can't declare bankruptcy and just walk away.

Although he will try to leave others holding the bag while he walks away with the swag as he has so many times before.

So – Happy Tuesday.

But let's also remember that it is Pride Month, so fuck that asshole.

And we've got Cranky Pants coffee blend this morning to match my mood.

Plus Pride donuts 'cause everyone's welcome.

To paraphrase Tom Lehrer … I hate intolerant people!

Bom Dia! My Brazilian trainer is trying to teach me Portuguese. I know how to greet people...and that's about as far as I've gotten. LOL. Hope all is well here in Lushland, especially with my fellow Rumpies!

We have been praying for some rain, and it finally came in a BIG way this morning. Lots of thunder, lightning, and heavy downpours.

I've been getting ready for our big Fourth of July picnic and have everything set for the big day. Looking forward to celebrating with like-minded people (anti-orange slime folks).

My son met with a specialist yesterday, who is ready to schedule surgery if last week's outpatient procedure isn't enough to solve the issues. He suggested waiting a few weeks to see if something more invasive is needed. But, in the meantime, my son is feeling good enough to function out of bed, and it's done wonders for his mental health.

I have an appointment with the rhinologist who put me on the latest protocol that hasn't helped at all. We will be discussing whether another surgery is the next step or if a different specialist is a better alternative.

Getting very excited about my oldest grandson coming to visit in 12 days! He's flying down as an unaccompanied minor to spend 9 days with us. My heart is so happy.

I'll have a Coke Zero please and thanks! I'm off to mod!

100% agree, Bear!

Happy Pride Month, everyone!!

Just coming down after two months of insanity.

Finally getting back to writing again. Dropped my first BDSM (DDLG) story last week. And published my first cuckold story this morning. I’ve got two other new stories in the pipeline, am finishing a full rewrite of the futa transformation story I wrote last winter, and am trying to think of something creative for the latest comp.

I’ll take the usual coffee with a splash of cream.

And I am off to my next meeting!

It's Canada Day up Canada way on the first day of July...

Yep, it's that time of year again. Canada turns 169 years today (well, using the common measure of passage of the British North America Act, there's arguments to be made for some other dates). Where I am, it's sweltering (headed for 34C) and humid. So my Canada Day celebrations will likely involve being indoors and watching something on TV or computer.

In honour of Canada Day, we'll fill up Bertha with Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw dark roast. Teas are Canadian Breakfast and Vinyl Cafe (which honours a famous Canadian radio show). And for munchies? Bear claws and butter tarts, of course.

For music, we got lots to choose from. Here's some classic Canadian rock.

And one of our leading current bands, Vancouver's Spiritbox, three time Grammy nominees and a bunch of Juno noms, too.

Happy Canada Day!

Here's a fun fact I may not have shared before. I have both United States AND Canadian citizenship.

So, in honor of my Canadian roots, put the drinks on my tab today. (and by my tab, I mean Ping's, of course)

Happy Canadian Day... to all Canadians... Have a great day. 😊

A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear. Thank you. 😎

I will be cheering on the English football team; we're playing DR Congo at 5 pm GMT today in the World Cup. There won't be much work going on here during the match.

So, Kat, is the half-Canadian... mmm... maybe a British passport next? 😳🤣

LOL. I have some footie fans on my team and we just happen to have a TV screen in our room for monitoring the network. Somehow, though, football matches keep showing up on it😁. Canada's next match is on Saturday against Morocco so no work impact there.

Happy Canada Day to Canadians on here.

Not a dual citizen, but I have family in Canada. So I’ve spent a fair amount of time up there.

Happy Canada Day!!!

Happy Canada Day!!!!!

Its 97F here today. I was going to mow the lawn but piss on that, too hot. So I had a vodka and strawberry lemonade whilst sitting in my Muskoka chair (like an Adirondack chair only better of course 😜) Then I had another one and have now decided the lawn doesn't really need cutting. Scored some fresh mango/pineapple salsa that I'm gonna have with wild salmon on the BBQ. I may explode with pleasure.

Hope you all are having a great weekend and are working on your Comp stories!

Kat: congrats on your dual citizenship!

Oh good, it wasn't just me. 😋

Ya'll just sitting around pissing on stuff? and you wonder why we won't let you be our 51st state. smh

Given our lack of interest in being the 51st state, I don't think this is much of a problem.😁 If pissing is enough to avoid that fate, I will piss away. I am on a drug that causes frequent urination so am well-prepared. 🤪

Hello, Hello anybody here? I stopped in for a cup of Bertha’s Best Coffee. Well I guess that I’ll rinse her out and start a fresh pot. I’m glad the barkeep has a stash of different coffees under the counter also with the booze. Well Bertha is perking a way now. I wish I had paid more attention to how Bear, Lion and Seeker did the morning ritual. What’s that noise coming from Storeroom #4? Darn Kimmi is gone getting ready for the holiday. I’m such a rookie at this. Well I need to go find some treats now. I’ll be back after I get some.

Home from the gym, off to the pool. Gotta burn some calories ahead of Saturday’s big 4th soirée. Coke Zero to go please and thank you.

Many thanks to those who have read Caged. I really appreciate it, especially knowing that BDSM is not everyone’s cup of tea. I spent a lot of time trying to finesse the story so it wouldn’t just sound like a book report of kinky sex acts. So it’s nice to have people read my efforts. 😘😘

I'm just getting over a UTI. I feel you on the having to piss frequently thing. 😕😊

Here is the coffee I found and a Raspberry Butter Braid fresh out of the oven.

If pissing is enough to get a hard pass on "statehood" – or be in state with hoods, probably pointy white ones with holes for eyes – then be prepared for a urine flood!

OTOH, we might consider applications by selected states for province-hood, if y'all are willing to be polite and supportive of others.

Yeah, been up to my eyeballs in a big project. I might have some news Real Soon Now…

But thanks for picking up the slack!

You're doing fine – and thanks!

I can offer you a position. No, in light of what goes on it Store Room #4, let me rephrase that: a job as 3rd assistant junior barkeep and bottle washer.

And I'll even pay you half of what I get, because that's the kind of generous Bear-tender I am!

Hi, Rumpies!

So glad about the WTA match results today. Rooting for Alex Eala!

I can lend a hand with washing the bottles, Bear. Haha!

In celebration of my first year here on Lush, I am looking back at the first erotica that I must have written, which was 75% true to life. Do take a read The Last Firefly. I really need to sit down and continue the overdue parts. :)

I have experience as a Busboy and Short Order Cook while in High School (55 years ago). Do I understand you that you’re offering zero times zero minus one half equals zero? That’s better than owning you for the training opportunity. Thanks for the offer but my wife has control of my free time.
