THE TIME,: 2:00 am
THE PLACE,: downtown at the Last Call! lounge

YOU'VE SLAMMED 'EM DOWN ... NOW SERVE 'EM UP!

Sure, we know. You think you're a real master of mixology -- the Kahuna of Cocktails, the Baron of Blotto, the Sultan of Swill. But just because you've prayed to the porcelain god doesn't mean you have what it takes to serve its disciples. For a challenge that's straight-up and over-the-top, slip behind the bar at the Last Call! lounge -- the one place where everyone can't get enough of what you've got. And since liquor is quicker, you'll feel the need for speed, because the more you accurately pour, the higher your customers -- and your tips -- become. And if you earn enough tips, you'll make it to last call and ride the stale ether of your liquor-soaked lounge all the way to bartender's heaven.

Now, don't fret if you don't know your Woo Woo from your Sweet Patootie, everything you need will be at your fingertips. But if you start botching up Bocci Balls or defiling Bahama Mamas, your hard-ass boss will put your butt in a Singapore Sling. So shake your thang, pour on the charm, or stir things up...whatever it takes to keep this outrageously entertaining convergence of carousers coming back for more.

HERE ARE YOUR TOOLS:

* Recipes for more than 100 drinks -- some of which you may want to try yourself.
* Free drink tickets: no, they're not free to the bar, so don't try to be everybody's best bud.
* The Music Button: you call the tune! Just be sure you're creating the right mood.
* The Charm Button: if you've got it, flaunt it.
* The Bounce Button: your last resort...bounce 'em before they bounce you.

And remember, at the Last Call! you call the shots -- so don't pour 'til you see the whites of their eyes (any other color and they're probably already schnookered)....

    This is a great little book and this one is meant just for boys, the first book to be published in Penelope Dyan's "Penny Mouse Early Reader Series," in the For Boys Only Version. It is a book meant to encourage reading, creativity and the fun of learning all wrapped into one! The concept is simple, but the meaning is deep. Everything about Dyan is more than it seems and less than it seems. And basically, this is a book meant for fun that a teacher can either take into the classroom or a mom can read at home, and the beauty of the poetry line is that the children can guess what comes next and begin the process of reading as their minds gravitate toward the creative, To do a book like this, you have to be able think like a child. Dyan has certainly done that! So parents, please enjoy this book with your kids, and teachers, please enjoy yourselves as well, because this is exactly why Dyan created these books! Watch for more Penny Mouse Early Readers,' because they will be coming out soon! Written by a former teacher, and intended just for you, it's Penny Mouse all the way!...

    This book takes a humorous look at all the hype and paranoia leading up to the Year 2000. Although the book is actually a type of Y2K preparedness guide, filled with what could actually be useful information in the extremely unlikely event of a Y2K disaster, the reader will probably be too busy laughing out loud to take much note of the facts. A great gift or "watercooler" reference book....

    Funny Things, Computers offers a humourous visual examination of the early days of the personal computer, when technology invaded everyday life in innumerable, often hilarious, ways.

You can love them, you can hate them -but you certainly can't ignore them. Computers in the home, computers on the job, computers that we're plugged into every time we bank, shop or travel - they all have their little quirks and ironies that Hutchings captures perfectly.

In Funny Things, Computers, Trevor Hutchings' unique sense of humour is directed at that wondrous invention that is at once man's greatest achievement, nemesis and alter ego....

Each ad is commented upon by a divorced male, a regular guy in his mid-fifties who, amused by the way some of his baby-boomer contemporaries market themselves, makes light of the entire process....
