Welcome one and all to Jim's Café, the sanctuary for the long suffering sane from the madness of the modern world.

Hello everyone, today for Jim's Cafe there isnt actually much I could find on my usual site for what day it is, so I am going to blend "Tattoo Day, World Watercolour Month and Emoji Day into the EMOJI DRAWING TABLE!! As for the rest, I'm just gonna make them up. Remember, if you dont want to answer everything, you dont have to, thats why we have many tables, simply seat yourself at the questions you find most to your liking.

But first, some atmosphere.

Im feeling in an especially good mood lately, so I worked EXTRA hard on finding some seriously interesting fun facts!

Fun Facts
1) Bananas cant reproduce! Modern bananas are actually a hybrid of 2 other plants and have no seeds so can only be reproduced from cuttings with the assistance of Farmers, a plant that cannot naturally exist ^^
2) Sniffer bees are able to seek out drugs, explosives, pesticides and radioactive metals according to the scientist to trained them to detect landmines.
3) The worlds smallest reptile was discovered only this year and is a frightfully small 22-29mm long and can perch comfortably on the a fingernail.
4) Your nostrils only work 1 at a time. Aside from in times of heavy exercise, pressure change or other phenomena, one nostril will be doing most of the work whilst the other stays mostly blocked. They swap every few hours and this is controlled by the same autonomic nervous system that regulates heart rate, digestion, and other unconscious bodily functions.
5) The human body literally glows ^^ We all emit extremely low levels of light in the visible spectrum. This glow grows stronger or dimmer through the day with the person's metabolism.

Bonus Fact, In these uncertain times of pandemic, everyone should get a brass doornob, because it turns out that brass ions naturally kills bacteria! (Yes I know Covid is a virus, but meh)

Emoji Drawing Table:
1) What interesting Emoji's do you feel are usually or always missing from emoji banks? (pained smile, ennui, existential confusion etc)
2) What is your favourite emoji?
3) DRAW US YOUR EMOJI! Draw a new emoji and make it cool, then post it here ^^

Treasure Table:
Tell us about all your precious treasure!
1) What little trinket or keepsake do you treasure and why?
2) Is there a person you treasure? Tell us about them (no need to name names if they are on SF)
3) Do you have a place you hold close to your heart? This can be as large as a country or as small as a favourite park bench.
4) Is there any music or entertainment you treasure? Something with a special meaning to you?
5) Do you own any actual treasure? Doubloons, precious gems, where did you bury it?

Ice Cream Table:
Oh hey! Its Ice Cream Month! Nothing like Coffee and Ice Cream.
1) What is your favourite Ice Cream
2) What is your LEAST favourite Ice Cream (the "why did they MAKE this? kind)
3) How often do you eat Ice Cream
4) Do you prefer Ice Cream or Ice Lollies?
5) What was your strangest Ice Cream Concoction? (Mine was the Ice Cream Toastie)

The Bar
A place for people to just pop in and say hi.
1) Pop in
2) Say Hi

Downstairs
If you get tired of the pleasant air and peaceful Jazz of the Cafe, we have a lovely tavern in the basement stocked with new questions, a nicer host and every drink under the sun.

1) What little trinket or keepsake do you treasure and why? Shaving kit that my grandfather gave me, the complete cut throat straight razor, mug, brush and everything that he taught me to use and that I still use to this day. He also taught me woodworking, woodcraft and things outdoors. I also have one of my grandmother's cast iron skillets that was old when she was alive. She taught me herbalism, cooking, how to make soap and candles and things of that nature.

2) Is there a person you treasure? Tell us about them (no need to name names if they are on SF). The closest would be my nephew and two great/grand nieces. The girls especially because my nephew is now grown and it is a blast to spoil the girls since they are both young enough that all the world is new to them, exciting and fun to explore. They love coming out to peek at the Moon and planets through my telescope. :)

3) Do you have a place you hold close to your heart? This can be as large as a country or as small as a favourite park bench. I would say the land still owned by the family where I get away to for camping, fishing and hunting and being out in the woods and nature.

4) Is there any music or entertainment you treasure? Something with a special meaning to you? I love music of all genres and TV and movies also, sitcoms especially on film

5) Do you own any actual treasure? Doubloons, precious gems, where did you bury it? No treasures here.

Ice Cream Table:
Oh hey! Its Ice Cream Month! Nothing like Coffee and Ice Cream.

1) What is your favourite Ice Cream Blue Bell Dutch chocolate.

2) What is your LEAST favourite Ice Cream (the "why did they MAKE this? kind). Have not really experimented enough to have a least favorite. I stick mainly to chocolate and vanilla for store bought and make home made ice cream fairly regularly, peach is my favorite for home made.

3) How often do you eat Ice Cream. Most every day especially now it's Summer.

4) Do you prefer Ice Cream or Ice Lollies? Never had Ice lollies, so ice cream for me.

5) What was your strangest Ice Cream Concoction? (Mine was the Ice Cream Toastie). None here but not so much creative myself.
