For Daylight Savings Time #NipClub Sets it's Clocks Back a Hundred Years? OOPS Nov. 2, 2013...1923

#NipClub Speakeasy Night

Well, this is awkward. I simply asked @Kittehboi to pop into the NipClub office complex Saturday night and set the clocks back ONE HOUR. Now, in case you didn't know it, @Kittehboi's human is a brilliant scientist, and apparently Breeze decided to try to set the clocks back with some quantum physics tricks. And he set the clocks back A HUNDRED YEARS OR SO.  

So, we decided to make the best of it and revisit a pawty from 2013 where we went back to the PROHIBITION Era. I've included that original blog below, with a lot of old pals we don't see anymore, and a few familiar faces. This will be fun for you newer pals. 

If YOU need a special roaring 20s Speakeasy, Prohibition, Flapper, Dapper Dan, etc. avatar please contact NipClub Outfitters  @RealFakeGator soon. 

Sincerely, @TheNascarKitty NipClub Manager and Founder, and the guy who needs to explain to the insurance adjuster why all our facilities are suddenly 100 years older.......

#NipClub Speakeasy Manager @TheNascarKitty & bar girls
@AutumnTheDoxie & @TinyPearlCat invite you in...if you have
the secret pass and swear you aren't a lawman!!!

This week #NipClub is taking you back to the past...to a time that's fun to remember...but you wouldn't want to actually be there.....

PROHIBITION: a time when you couldn't simply go have a drink with pals, or purchase a bottle of booze to take home....establishments called SPEAKEASY's popped up all over America.

At the SPEAKEASY, if you knew the secret code word, you could enter a world of fun, intrigue, secrecy...almost a "brotherhood" of partiers. Of course, because breaking laws was involved, "gangsters" where usually behind the Speakeasy Clubs, because they weren't afraid to make a few $$$ catering to the "illegal" tastes of their clientele!
    

@kingtuttifruitti waits to hear the code word for entry
but don't say it loud!



HINT: The password is what @3phibotticelli likes to do with pals..... (OK, it's "HUG")

So as not to arouse suspicion,
@Spanielopolois arrives in a nondescript car

The 1920's & Early 1930's in America will always be remembered as an era of civil disobedience....caused by that nasty idea called PROHIBITION!! 

Click HERE for more info about Prohibition!!

Imagine a world where #NipClub would be illegal because of the very beverages that we all enjoy!! No Niptinis, No Meowmosas, No Meowgaritas, NO BACON BEER!!.....well at least not legally! 

#nipclub patrons protest prohibition

back row: @tiggybean @snoopdoggdoxie

front row: @squeakyelvis (squeaky & elvis) @germanshorthair (banjo)

PROHIBITION made it illegal to manufacture, possess or consume alcoholic beverages!! So naturally, this led to an era of terrific illegal party establishments (Speakeasy Clubs), each trying to outdo each other to grab customers!! It ushered in bathtub gin, hot jazz music & gun toting gangsters!! 

                               

Belly up to the bathtub because
#Nipclub home brew is chilled and ready to go

Party girls @SweetPeaBeardie @Bea_bells @Shaynacat party like it's 1929!

That's right PROHIBITION and Speakeasy Clubs, were a huge part in the rise of Hot Jazz music in the 1920's..here's an example of Jazz great  Louis Armstrong playing in a Speakeasy!! 

Even before there was prohibition, there was a huge campaign to outlaw "Devil Alcohol" led by a crazy spinster named CARRIE NATION, who went on a state by state terror trail, smashing up bars and liquor stores with her now famous hatchet. Let's hope she doesn't show up at #NipClub this week and smash up our bar!!

why she was grumpy...would YOU buy her a drink?

Introducing the Return of #NipClub's extra long pawties!! (And Cheers Night) Oct. 26th, 2023

Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at The Lucky Cat Rescue Every penny helps! Thanks!

Back in the good old days #NipClub grew so huge that we expanded to having extra pawties that would start on Saturday afternoon and go until Sunday evening.  Sometimes the normal Thursday  night pawty would continue on right through to the Saturday start time. Themes were wild, and exciting, we had quizzes and puzzles and prizes. Great food menus, sometimes our anipal friends would tie the knot at our special pawties, OR, if they asked, we'd throw them their own pawty.  

Well, we're growing again, great new pals, and returning pals from days past come around a lot. We thought it was time to bring back those pawties. And while they'll start out a little shorter, and probably 4 times a year, we hope they'll grow to be monthly, and/or 24 hour pawties again.

And the first one is THIS WEEKEND!!!!!! The all new #NipClubExtra !!!!!!!!!

Look for more information at this link:

#NipclubExtra

But, we still need to pawty this Thursday. So let's just have a night of friendship at our CHEERS Nightclub and get each other pumped out for this weekend. Maybe make arrangements to meet up with pals at a certain time. Remember, this pawty is long enough that it will be convenient for anipals from every timezone around the world. So come have fun. Lot's of Fun. 

THURSDAY:

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.


Wouldn't you like to get away?


All those nights when your've got no lights, the check is in the mail.
And your little angel hung the cat up by it's tail.


And your third fiancé didn't show!


Sometimes you wanna go..


Where everybody knows your name
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
the troubles are all the same.
you wanna be where everybody knows your name


You roll out of bed, mr. Coffee is dead, the morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe, and didn't even write.


And your husband wants to be a girl!


Be glad there's one place in the world


Where everybody knows your name
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same.

You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

CHEERS THEME lyrics by Gary Portnoy

#NipClub has been very busy lately, so this week we're taking it easy, just sitting around our friendly neighborhood bar, chatting, dancing, nomming, enjoying each other's friendship.

Uh oh! Nip Zombies at #NipClub Oct. 19th, 2023

Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at The Lucky Cat Rescue Every penny helps! Thanks!

We noticed a bunch of Zombies lingering outside #NipClub Headquarters this week, and in our search for a reason why, we realized that our Nip Crops were so strong this year that they caused near zombie-like side effects when used too strongly. It even affected humans, dogs, ducks, horses, fish, etc. who simply inhaled it's scent.

It ALSO turns out that this nip was used for the entire pawty last week. So, most of our #NipClub Pals have been a "little on edge" all week. And darned if they don't look and act a little like goofy zombies. But fear not, the effects wear off in 8 days (So, the day after NipClub this week). But, we'll make the best of it. Bring your "Zombie" selves down to NipClub this week and pawty like a zombie. You'll wake up normal on Friday morning. We've cut the strength of the remaining Nip so you don't have to worry about getting zombified .

So while this week will just be a normal Cheers night pawty, you may encounter some of these zombies and they may want to fight, or eat your brains or something, but please don't kill them, they'll eventually revert back to your old friends when the nip wears off.

And don't forget we're having a special #NipClub extended Halloween Pawty on Oct.

28th. This is the return to our quarterly weekend pawties and eventually we hope to extend that to 24 hour long pawties again.
