Title: Cashews & Gobblers

"So, this is Bikers.  The famous Bikers,  where cuisine and metal meet
head-to-head," she said, standing in the doorway of the bar.  She
removed her shades, saw that there were 4 people standing at the
bar, and said to Jake, "What's on Tap?  Enough to feed 30 dry
Black Dogs?  I command 30 riders, all hungry and thirsty, and all
willing and able to kill for food and drink, and this is not just a silly
rodomontade!"

ro.do.mon.tade n [MF, fr. It Rodomonte, character in Orlando
   Innamorato by Matteo M. Boiardo] (1612) 1: a bragging speech
   2: vain boasting or bluster: rant -- rodomontade adj.

Jake chuckled, finished wiping the last possible water spot off
one of the metal beer mugs, and carefully placed it upside down
on the metal mug pyramid.  He folded the bar towel and placed it
on the bar near the taps, leaned with both hands on the bar and
said, "Plenty of beer.   Special today is Cashew Chicken stir fry
made with so many cashews each bite is a crunch toward
heaven.  Special drink with each meal is a Gobbler, Wild Turkey
double with a shot of Egri Bikaver.  Guaranteed to fill your belly
and make you leave quietly."

"Impressive!  Cute! Such a dump for such a classy fellow.  Stir
up 30 specials and get ready for a Black Dog invasion," The One
said as she started to summon her horde.

"She reminds me of something someone might want to feed
a banana in the zoo,"  Sis said not very quietly.   "Do we all suppose
her name is Jacqueline Napis?  Tell me, Jackie, do you pick the fleas
from your little pack of baby bikers?"

jack.a.napes n [ME Jack Napis, nickname for William de la Pole d.
   1450 duke of Suffolk] (1526) 1: monkey, ape 2 a: an impudent or
