The debate over bar food was getting, as they say, pret-ty lively. So Bingo and Vicki called a general meeting.
After some spirited discussion, it was agreed that 1) pickles and pretzels would prevail as basic bar food, and 2) pizza could be procured and brought in.
Vicki and Bingo parlayed with Biker Raj and explained that pizza was permitted if he procured it himself.
Also, Biker apologized for getting upset. He was just hungry, he said. (All the Bears knew that.)
When Roger Yoga returned, they explained things to him, too, paying particular attention to point out that pizza could be healthy!
However, he would stick with yogurt andvegetables, he said, thank you very much. (Although he did have an occasionalpickle.)
Everyone was glad to get back to pinochle, pickles, pretzels...and sarsaparilla, of course.
And everyone welcomed Biker Raj and Roger Yoga whenever they stopped by.
Each one made the Buckhorn a better place, in his own way.
