Until last night. I went to the Jockey Club last night after kickball and a couple of cans of Sparks, to enjoy the jukebox and run into some friends. I drank some beer and played some pinball and one of my ex-roommates is there along with his girlfriend, various friends and neighbors. I sat on the couch at one end of the room (underneath a mounted elk head) with this guy Crazy Pete. It was all boys at that end of the room but I didn't think anything of it. There was one older man (when I say older I'm thinking probably 36-40 or so, not really all that old but probably the oldest one there easily) who was really offensive. He sat on guys laps without asking and they'd get up and move. He "danced" by wiggling his butt and grabbing his crotch. He threw beer into this guy Jerome's face and the bartender (a tiny punkette named Rachel) came over and gave him his warning. At this point I got up to use the bathroom. When I came back the only spot left on the couch was between Pete and Jerome and Pete was talking to a couple other people and so I started talking to Jerome, telling jokes that really aren't funny at all. Then the man comes over to our end of the couch and sits on a chair right next to it and grabs Jerome's knee. "You're a handsome guy," he says, "You're a handsome guy and even though you'd rather fuck this girl right here--" At this point I stood up and told the guy he was offensive and should leave. He just sat there, blinking. I grabbed my bag and stomped out and stood on the sidewalk for a few minutes. The situation was a little shallow, I guess. Why should that asshole be allowed to stay in the bar when he was making most of us uncomfortable? I thought about talking to the bartender about having him kicked out but decided to just stand at the bar instead. I went back in and got another beer. Pretty soon there was a crowd around the door. I guess what happened is that the bartender decided that he needed to leave but he wouldn't. So this guy (and I can't remember his name, it's not that important) pulled him outside and punched him once. He went out like a light and a bunch of boys ran out there and started kicking him while he was down. He was out the door. I guess I got my wish. |
. Bleh. |

clearly you are new to bar scenes. why didnt you just tell him to fuck off instead of saying you were offended and he should leave and then stomping off to the sidewalk? besides. you'll feel better telling an asshole in a bar to fuckoff. in fact, being a woman, you're pretty safe in telling guys off. if another guy had told him to "fuck off" there's a good chance fists would fly inside the door and thats a real drag. people get drunk in bars. some drunks are annoying. get thicker skin or enjoy bars in Apple Bees and Chili's. |
I understand getting angry, though. People who don't respect the boundaries of strangers tend to set off all kinds of defense mechanisms. |
Not that he deserves for lots of people to kick him when he's on the ground. That just ain't right. |
|
probably some people at least knew OF this guy in the bar. perhaps he was a semi-regular fixture so his antics were tolerated to an extent. and you know, you go to a bar, getting into a fight is a real buzz killer so sometimes you kinda ride out the annoying drunk knowing that A)most likely he'll pass out very soon, B) get kicked out even sooner, or C)have his drunken attention span drafted by some other patron. it sounds like a combo effect was brought on. Nothing to get mad about though. i mean. sometimes bars have really loveable drunk regulars. |
|
The particular bar that this happened at is about four blocks from home. The nearest "Chili's" or "Apple Bees" is at least 4-5 miles away and probably too yuppy for my taste. Normally I go to the Paragon, which is a karaoke bar and has booths so it makes it a little more difficult for assholes to invade. Who he was hitting on did have a little bit to do with it (Jerome is someone I've seen a few times at the Jockey and also the Paragon and is cute), but I took the whole thing far too personally for it to be because of him entirely. I don't think anyone should be kicked when they're down but I was glad he was (knocked) out. |
sometimes you need emphatic langauge to get your point across to drunks. so swearing or not. to a drunk FUDGE off would probabyl work all the same. its all in the delivery. eitherway, stand a little taller lapis. and of course the mall bars would be yuppy, i was being sarcastic knowing thats not what you would want. |
Once again I didn't get the joke. That was standing a little taller for me. That isn't normally something I'd feel comfortable doing in the first place. Baby steps. |
Bartenders have 2 jobs - 1: Make sure people enjoy themselves, be it getting them beer or keeping the place enjoyable. 2: Keep the dumbfucks in line, reference Job #1. I'll give the guy who hauled him outside and poped him props for taking care of a situation. However the people who followed out and decided they needed to beat on the guy while he was down are ass hats. People like that are no better then the jackass who was causing the problem in the first place. Normally I wouldn't condone violence but to the guy who poped him to start with, I say he basically did what a lot of people wanted to do but no one else would. The rest, were just sheep... Nothing but sheep, they saw one person do it and all of a sudden had the balls to do it themselves. Fuck people like that. |
|
. Is it from a movie or show or something? |
|
|
|
Sometimes, I love pissing stupid people off, it makes my life so much more eventfull. |
What's really fun is if somebody asks for help and the answer is so simple and obvious that they didn't even think of it. "Where's the restroom?" "Right down that hallway that says 'restrooms' with an arrow on it." |

Weak sauce is one of the best phrases ever, I used it at work today. Doesn't Cartman say it in some southpark episode? How do we get these strange dialect terms, and why do they spread like stds? I'm been saying "hardcore" a lot lately too. Hm. |
I'm starting to branch out a little, naming things D&D style: Teaspoon of death Bookshelf of heaviness Frankenbike of death Futon of pain Keychain of mild discomfort Fern of the heebee jeebies and so on |
When I was in college we would put "of doom" at the ends of things. "Paper of doom #5" and such. I like "keychain of mild discomfort." Hee. ' " "" """ """" """ "" " ' |
|
. I like 'of doom' as well. . Speaking of weak sauce, Hal, I believe weaksauce.net may be available for registry again soon. It just expired. Now that you've got time and 'Net again, maybe you can make use of it. If you really want it, it might be best to have Avatar transfer it to you instead of letting it open up again. Folks grab up expiring domain names like mad in the hopes that they can overcharge someone for it. |
|
As J noticed in one of my posts, I like putting things on a cracker... Christ, shit, god, holy rotten eggs, dick, whatever nown seems to cross my mind at the time... And sometimes I get flagrent with it. Holy flaming shit on a cracker. |
|
I hope that helps. |
|
|
Look. I use weak tea like this: "Yeah, they were trying to lure me in with the talk of an office with a window, but that's just WEAK TEA. Now, stock options and a 10% raise, that's what I want." So, is weak sauce synonymous? |
Money of pocket-burning Microphone of drunkeness Hrm. I need to take my film in before it is time to drink. |
Teaspoon of bludgeoning +2 I found my film roller last night. I have no idea how old the film in it is, so I rolled up a long one and shot like mad. I hope it's still good. It was in a fairly cool place for however long it was there. To the lab! |
Vorpal cell phone of attitude amplification +10 Vicious pronged coffee pot of cantankerous eyepopping +5 |
Crippling thimble of the damned +1 |
TBone, if you find out that film is still good, I have my roller around here somewhere... God love the kodiak. |

Thats not jesus, I know that guy.... And although, I'm sure Jesus and him probably had a few things in common, I know that guy CANNOT TURN WATER TO WINE!!!!! |
|
|
|
Have a date tonight, and a wake to go to... Should be an interesting night to say the least. |
|
he was behind the sofa the whole time. he's real good at hide n seek. |
|
Time to start the wake. |
Not too great, I hope.? |
|
The wake ended with us leaving the bar, and having about 4 people following us with clear intention of being stupid. We stop turn around and start walking the other direction. The one guy who immmediatly tags me and starts the shit is like this 4 foot tall 60 year old man... hits me twice, and shoves me.... Not that this does anything, or moves me in any direction or anything. Couldn't hit him back, I'd have killed him, he'd a had a corinary on the sidewalk. as of right now, not much of a hangover, but I can't feel my face. |
As I remember, the commercials for that stupid graduation movie "Can't Hardly Wait" had this one guy drunk or high off his ass, yelling: "I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!" Absolutely fucking happy. |

The first time a kid asked me to buy cigarettes was on my 21st birthday. |
|
|
In all reality, I should have just punched him in the face, and put his codgy old ass on the ground. But at the time I looked at it as.... "This is like hitting a tiny little woman." I refuse to hit women period, but hitting this guy would have been like fighting the handicapped which is just not cool... Unless they owe you money. As for not being able to feel my face, thats only because while I was in my drunken sleep the cat decided he was going to lay on my face for a few hours. little bastard. |
Regardless of whether you actually fight them, you seem to attract these confrontations. |
Maybe Hal makes faces at people. |
|
"God hates me." |

At least not from work. |
|
I wonder if my doctor will give me a perscription for Proloxil. |

i have the solution to the Blaster if you use windows xp, as most of the victims do. physically disconnect your pc from the net. check to insure your firewall is active by checking your connection properties, under the security tab. chances are, you arent. turn on your firewall. You most likely wont crash while not connected to the net. the constant rebooting is a sign of someone of something accessign your system and restarting. ok. firewall on. still disconnected from the net. turn off your system restore function by clicking properties on the My computer icon. You can turn it back on, once you've erradicated the worm. connect to the internet, go here http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html download the debugger or whatever. follow their instructions. they encourage you to run it twice. run program. reboot. repeat. if all is well, turn your system restore back on, go to MS and download the patch. get some better virus software and you should be all good to go. |
take out your lan cable from the back, hit ctr+alt+del (or if you are running w2k or xp, right click on your task bar and choose task manager), go to the processes tab, sort by image name, scroll to find msblast.exe, end the process. Next thing you need to do is search your registry for an entry. Be careful. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, then follow what patrick said, this is just the quickest and best way to do it without being on the net. Click start/run in the open field, type regedit. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Look for the value on the right that says "windows auto update"="msblast.exe" Delete that value. Reconnect to the internet. Update your virus definitions, then reboot. That is the manual way to fix this without network connectivity. Also, anyone that has programs that start up when you start windows, this is a good place to clean that crap out. I always take out any real player, quick time, instant messenger, etc. This will help your system run much better. |
