Application for Mike Callahan - Spider Robinson's Callahan's Place stories

May 02, 2007 11:04

A large, slightly balding red-haired man came sauntering into the sorting room. He glanced around, frowning, an expression that seemed oddly unusual on his face, and then turned to address some conveniently nearby house elves. "All right, gents, I was told you wanted a bartender. How the hell am I supposed to tend a bar if there's no booze ( Read more... )

application, mike callahan

Oh, you are so a Ravenclaw. I'd like some Glenfidditch, if you wouldn't mind.

What'd somebody ask for in 1967?

Callahan grinned at her as he poured her drink. "Asshole asked for a Mother Superior," he told her. "Turned out to be a martini with a prune in it, so by God, I went out and bought a prune." He chuckled and then added, "Of course, more recently than that, a guy I took on as part-time help ordered a horse's ass... which is just a ginger ale with a cherry in it... so named because anyone who'd order it is, well, you get the idea."

*makes a face* Ouchie. To both of 'em. Give me a good single malt scotch any day.

In fact...*takes a sip* Oh yeah. Good stuff. You'll be a credit to Ravenclaw.

He chuckled. "Well, there's no accounting for taste." He watched her sip her drink and then said warmly, "I'm glad you like it."

Strong Bad was overjoyed.

"You've brought the cold ones right into the Sorting Room! Man, give me one of those and I'll vote you anywheres you want. Gryfflypuff? Ballzador? It's all good."

Callahan handed Strong Bad his drink, still grinning. "You just vote me wherever you want," he said. "As long as there's a bar there and good people to share drinks with." It didn't need to be said that clearly his definition of people was fairly loose.

Strong Bad gulped down half the bottle and smacked his oblong not-really-lips in satisfaction. "Ahhhh. Hits the spot. I tell you what, I'm-a gonna call you a Chawyclaw. There's this chaw parlor in Slytherin house that's great for the spittoons but not so much with the cold ones."

Re: vote: Chawyclaw themickoftime May 3 2007, 19:06:20 UTC

Callahan nodded. "Well, chaw tends to make you look pretty horrible if you use too much of it. All cold ones'll do is destroy your liver."

"Just give me a rum and coke and we'll call it even."

Re: Vote: Ravenclaw themickoftime May 2 2007, 21:02:27 UTC

"Sure." He grinned, handing over the drink.

Oh dear. I do hope we won't be in direct competition.

themickoftime May 2 2007, 21:05:17 UTC

Nothing says we have to be." He gave her the once-over, approving of what he saw. "You a bartender, too? I always did like a lady who could sling booze."

lady_thujone May 2 2007, 21:07:24 UTC

I'm more than that, dearie. I'm La Fee Verte.

"Woulda figured you for an absinthe kind of girl," he said, handing her a drink and watching for her reaction to it.

GIR, still somewhat salty from his time as a giant kernel of popcorn, squeaked absently into the sorting room in his green doggy-disguise.

"I need a clown drink! Or a puppy-drink. And a burr-i-to." He gazed up at Callahan with his tiny pink tongue sticking out one side of his mouth. "I'm a mongoose!"

themickoftime May 3 2007, 01:06:50 UTC

"Sure thing." Callahan served Gir up a salty dog. "Dunno of any clown-drinks, but I did know a genuine talking German shepherd once."
