a night at crap bar filled with jerks in patterned shirts and faded old navy jeans and the women who love them

hell. moreso thanks to the Lenny Kravitz on the jukebox. I spent about twenty minutes staring at the wall trying to remember this guy's name, but it wasn't coming to me. "You know, the guy who was in Sling Blade and Panic Room, country singer, plays assholes really well." No one remembered, then it hit me: "Dwight Yoakam!" Victory--albeit a small one--was mine. The triumph? Over my own Bass-addled brain. The prize? For twenty sweet minutes, my mind was occupied with thoughts other than the singular, bleak notion that the grim specter of death awaits some 60-odd years down the pike.

"This busboy was all up in my grill because he thought I called the waitress a bitch. I said, 'no you're the bitch!'" (high fives among all the bros)

but the couple dancing to "The Joker" in the middle of a shoving match between some patterned-shirt bros was sort of romantic, seriously.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 6 February 2005 10:34 (twenty-one years ago)

actually it was a pretty good time, maybe I'll go there again.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 6 February 2005 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Getting drunk is so much better in a slightly hateful setting.

― hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 6 February 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Ever since I first saw Barfly it's been a key ambition to get shit-faced and badly beaten up in an American bar.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Sunday, 6 February 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

He represents everything I despise: obviousness.

― hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 6 February 2005 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Can we change this thread title to a night at crap bar filled with Calums in patterned shirts and faded old navy jeans and the inflatable women who love them?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Sunday, 6 February 2005 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I ended up going to an insane goof shit yah dude bar this week because they had a $10 all you can drink special. The lady at the door was a portly fake tan fake blonde hussy in MATCHING VON DUTCH HAT AND VON DUTCH SHIRT. The DJ was a fucking ponce who played mostly early 90s trance and bad dance hits of 2 years ago. We spent most of the time getting people with all you can drink wristbands to funnel us drinks. The fucking bathroom had a fucking attendant with all kinds of fucking insane personal care products like FUCKING COCOA BUTTER. There was some dude celebrating his birthday by puking with two girls in the stall with him. Also, some pie-faced sorority bitch with a fucking raccoon tan spilled a drink on me and I nearly hurled mine on her (ah the benefits of all you can drink). Fuck chain bars!

Spoon "Someone Something"
The Count Five "Psychotic Reaction"
Magazine "The Light Pours Out of Me"
The Yardbirds "Puzzles"
Guided By Voices "Game of Pricks"
Modettes "Paint It Black"

What does that have to do with the fucking thread?

― he does guitar with his mouth lmao mint (ex machina), Sunday, 6 February 2005 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I stayed home and listened to new albums like a good little critic. I went out Wednesday-Friday and will be going out tonight so I wanted a day off.

While his voice (particular his propensity for "yeah"'s) is excruciating, I'm starting to gain an affection Lenny Kravitz's recent material. Its so minimal and repetitive. Just one riff repeated over and over with minimal accompaniment. "Are We Runnin'" is just a guitar riff, drums and a solo! That's the kind of shit I think about it if I'm trapped in a crappy bar.

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 6 February 2005 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

haha Jon hates when people get tangential on threads.

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 6 February 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

whatevs!

let's talk about jon's daet raep experiences at t1k1 b0b's.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Sunday, 6 February 2005 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Last night I went to a 90's cover band (they are quite the crowd pleasers - green day, pearl jam, nirvana, foo fighters, no doubt, rhcp) show at a FRAT PARTY. I bumped into some pretty indie thing in the line for beer. We chatted a little and then I ran into her later in the alcohol soaked crowd. We chatted, seemed to hit things off pretty well. She let me have some of her cigarette. We went to get another one, I grabbed her hand and led her. All going well! Band winds down; she goes to her friends and then disappears in the chaos. (I think I could have pulled if I had been a little more direct).

Meanwhile, my recently single friend is trying to pull some sophomore boy; gets fed up with it and arrives drunk at my room at 3 am and flops into bed with me. I do the right thing and tough I was uncomfortable with the position she put me in last night since we are friends and her ex is a good friend of mine. She freaks out like I implied she is constantly trying to hump my leg or something; storms off without a thank you for keeping her drunk ass in line.

Laura in Nihon gave me good advice:

L: no i think you are totally within your rights to say that if the genders were reversed, would anyone fault a girl for telling a guy not to come to her room wasted and put her in a provocative position?

JW: YOU ARE WISE

L: besides that fact that it's really indicative of you not wanting to be a jerk, the mere fact that it makes you uncomfortable should be reason enough, end of story.

Jon that's so gay

You're supposed to do the hungover remorse thang after you've done the wild thang.

Pop rocks aren't dangerous? Isn't there a warning on the package: "For oral use only. Do not pour in wide-open ass."

― he does guitar with his mouth lmao mint (ex machina), Sunday, 6 February 2005 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

no way dude. you're totally Brandon Flowers!

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

I just can't look its killing me
And taking control

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 6 February 2005 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Riot Gear, were you in O.C. per chance... at Pierce Street Annex?

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 6 February 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Manhattan Beach, homes. the Shellback Tavern.

why the fuck did I drive a half an hour to do this? I know not why. All I know is I didn't drink nearly enough and another foul memory has just hit me, as the bar was playing skateboarding videos on an endless loop.

"dudes, Chad just wiped going down the library steps!"

"Did you catch it on video??!!"

"Yes!"

"ROFFLE! Let's edit it to a NOFX tune and sell it at a store!"

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 6 February 2005 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

seven years pass...

It's like Gear lives in another city than me.
