It's funny.  I once had a board called La Taberna de los Malvados.  Maybe this forum will last longer than mine did.

I doubt the DMFAers will ever let it die.

I was either going to call this place "The Lusty Siren" or "The Drunken Dragon" but, sadly, the Drunken Dragon tavern hasn't appear in the comic yet. Just the Lusty Siren.

What about the Prancing Pony? Oh wait, wrong story...

Darkmoon

Yes, wrong story. We won't got anywhere near there ever again.

"The Drunken Dragon" sounds familiar. Though "The Lusty Siren" sounds adequate.

I dunno if the Drunken Dragon was used anywhere else before. I know I used it accidentally once in CVRPG when I meant to reference The Lusty Siren... I edited that comic once I caught it.

But they have pints!

Darkmoon

Pints, sure... but of what...

And no, I don't want to know the answer.

I see Raye's made her return.  I wonder what she wants.

(blinks) Crap... uhm... we're converting to metric right?

I think a litre (spelled the european way ;)) is approx a quart, yes? If so, a pint is half a quart, thus approx half a litre.

On another random note, I was browsing through the archives and I hadn't realized this, but Raye's font has changed.  It was blue and now it's purple.

Not wanting to necro too much, but a pint is actually approximately 473, 561, 568, or 375ml, depending on who you ask, what's in the pint, and where you're asking.

Oh, and in NZ milk makes it 600ml, and in Aus, a pint of beer is 570ml. Just in case you wanted to be sure.


Give me metric anytime. :-)

Heh. Thank you. So a pint would be something like... a small bottle?

something like that.

A large beer, generally speaking. Although Aus has some strange labels for different sizes of drinks... schooners and draughts, unless draught is the type of beer, in which case....

Yeah, I'll stick with my pint of Guinness. :-)

Kasarn

Well, what's the size of a pint in LotR's Middle Earth?

llearch n'n'daCorna

Whatever the local king says it is, I suspect.

Although I suggest Tolkien was using UK measurements, so you're talking probably 473 or 568mL.

Wet weight, of course. Dry weights vary more.

There are dry pints and wet pints and they're different?! Why couldn't you people come up with a coherent measuring system?

I like the US. All cans are 12 oz. All bottles are 20 oz. A shot is 2 oz or 4 oz (standard, last I knew). Everything is based on that. Simple.

Which of the three ounces are you referring to, DMoon? :-)


Oh, and Gabi? Yeah. It's worse than that, even, but mostly it's simplified by "your local default" which varies from place to place.

Me too.

At least metric you can figure out multiples relatively easily.


'course, it's french, so Americans won't have a bar of it. Which explains why one of their multi-billion-dollar spacecraft went awry and crashed on landing - someone screwed up the metric/imperial translation on the designs. Yay for wasted money....

Yes, they often tell that story at university to illustrate the merits of a formal, ambiguety-free specification.
