Re: The Night Life On Mars

Note: the following is fictional:
The first bar in mars was named Commander Cobras’ Salon. Unlike earth establishments this bar was equipped with a shooting range and attached was a gun shop. Given the bouncers were armed with Kevlar armor and semi automatics that could be held in one hand, pepper spray, and teasers, not to many people stepped out of line. The club owner made quite a bit off the poker and black jack tables. The exotic dancers dressed in confederate etire, also helped the owner gouge customers with the price of bear given there weren’t to many people on mars. But the customers new to keep there hands off. In Cobra Commanders words. This is a family place.  ???  big_smile

Re: The Night Life On Mars

Come visit 'The Beach'

The first and only place on mars where you can surf, our 2.5 million gallon pool can generate contious artificial waves from 2 to 20 meters...surfing in low gravity is an entirely new sport!

On the beaches edge we offer a full service 24 hour bar offer drinks both local and import, try our new coffee/pomagranet beer and after dark our entire facility is black light lit
so bring your glow stick and pound on our paint drums in the only place on mars that is clothing optional and always 88 degrees.

Happy 'hour' every night during the time slip
Fridays are orgy nights, bring all your friends, imunization records required

Re: The Night Life On Mars

Come pray with us at our all night vigil.  Having come to Mars to rid ourselves of the evil heathen practices of Earth, we have been beseiged on all sides by evildoers like Purdue and Cobra.  Let us pray for their souls!

The Temple Bar
Saturday night/Sunday morning mass!

The Prophet speaks!

First drink's free, 1/2 Mars Bar each after, or 2 Aurics for the duration! Whole barbecued rabbit - 1 Bar! No cover! Ladies drink and eat free!

Guard yourself against the machinations of the heathens and taste of the nectars of salvation! Can't drive home? Stay for Sunday services featuring the Prophet Cobra live from the heavily fortified Promised Land! Good drink, good food, good words. F**kin' a!

Sir, you are cruel. 

I refuse your offer to eat rabbits -- even as a free meal.

Shame on you!

Re: The Night Life On Mars

The Temple Bar has removed rabbit from its menu for the time being due to "health concerns." In addition, ladies will no longer eat or drink free. Sorry. The Prophet asks that complaints be directed to the management of the Temple Bar.

::EDIT::  Are they dancing?  Greeting one another?  Fighting?  Other?  Care to interpret the photo, Cobra?

Well, I'd guess they're high-fiving over the new Martian Health Department regulations regarding the preparing of rabbit. They've lobbied long and hard for that legislation, finally succeeding because rabbits comprise nearly 75% of the mammal population of Mars. Saw it on the internet, so it must be true.  big_smile

Re: The Night Life On Mars

The owners of the TempleBar, having discovered that their advertising robots had new pro-rabbit rights graffiti painted on them, has elected to sue those responsible. Upon discovering that Mars has no legal system in place, and thus no venues for lawsuits, Trebuchet took the bold move of hiring several bar customers as his lawyers, gave them blunt weaponry, and sent them to beat the money out of the Rabbit Rights movement, who soon raised their own 'legal defense team'.

After successful settlement of their grievances, where the Rabbit Rights people agreed to place their message on their own robots, several other parties pursued lawsuits by similar means. A new courthouse was built to provide a venue for settling disputes, and CourtVue is currently the highest rated TV show on Mars, as the lawyers battle each other for supremacy in the ring.

That would be poetic justice.  :laugh:  :band:

Re: The Night Life On Mars

Tolley Astronautics is bringing to the Martian market a meat product to get around the newly signed rabbit protection act. Our new Pigabbits are a pig/rabit hybrid that are perfect for grilling. They lake fur so the skinning process is more efficent and the pork genes increse the ammount of meat and it's tenderness in each and ever delectable critters!

The Rabbit shelter is now open.  Come pray with us, and bring your rabbits for safe keeping.  We have a heavily armed... err... highly trained "legal team" to handle "litigation."

Re: The Night Life On Mars

The Martian Pause

Nightlife on Mars is filled with the same types of venues one finds anywhere on Earth. While not as raucous as the Lunar casino's, or the orbiting saloon's, there is a unique flavor to the Martian night.

This is most notably exemplified during the Martian Pause, the 39 minutes and 35 seconds where time seemingly stands still on Mars.

It is an oft observed custom to gather during the Martian Pause, also known as Ares Witching Hour, and share a drink among friends. Many take to toasting Mars herself, sometimes spending the entire Pause in round after round of toasts. A bit of a game you might say.

If you find yourself there, order a round of Sancho's Red Gold, and enjoy a little Martian Pause.

When time stands still
we wait until
the dance of Mars goes on
Yet while we wait
we commiserate
and drink until the dawn!

Re: The Night Life On Mars

When thy people mistake a bear for a beer, then shall they be cut off lest they be mauled and come to misery and death. For behold, the way to salvation is down a river of beer, but beset on all sides by heathen bears who doth seek to corrupt the souls of the faithful. Metaphorically of course, so says the prophet, f**kin' a.

Re: The Night Life On Mars

You humans don’t know how to party. I am going to go hang out with the true native Martians. They have some vintage whisky from the ancient Hellas Distillery, and they know how to rock and roll.

The only problem is that the Native Martians look like rocks, so they are hard to find.
