Remembrance of things Pabst




So we had a tough day with a lot of employee problems and miscellaneous bullshit. We get a call from one of the girls who is a good friend of ours from the store who also ended up appearing on the show. Red Jen the jeweler lived in the neighborhood and used to shop in the store. As usual Lisa adopted her and I got stuck doing shit that I didn't want to do. Don't get me wrong. She is a great girl and a lot of fun in a good time redheaded Irish girl kind of way.

But one time she had to go on vacation and asked us to water her plants and take care of her pets. I said ok until we got to her apartment. It turns out that she had goldfish. Not a cat. Not a dog. Not a bird. FUCKING GOLDFISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean fucking goldfish are supposed to die. And then you flush them. You win them in the little bowl in the game at the feast where you get the ping pong ball in the thing and the fucking goldfish dies before you get it home. So I says to Lisa "Let's just flush the scaly motherfucker here and now and come back in two week and put a new fucking goldfish in the tank." Of course she wouldn't let me do it. Fuck.

Anyhoo Red Jen calls and says to meet at Hanley's one of the oldest bars in NYC which is on the corner of my block. Irishmen have been getting piss drunk in there since the fucking Draft Riots. Of the Civil War. We used to go there all the time. I mean I used to go there at the time when I was a kid and it was a neighborhood joint where only neighborhood guys used to go. Now it is full of yuppie scum and hipster dofous cocksuckers.

We get there and Red Jen is sitting with a couple three of her friends. One of the girls had purple hair. And her boyfriend had a fucking derby. A fucking fucking derby. He had no idea what I was talking about when I asked him if was from Kentucky. Jumping Jesus.

Oh and to add to the fun it was karaoke night. And the Knicks were getting slaughtered by Miami. I am watching Lebron windmill dunk on Tyson Chandlers fucking knucklehead while some cunt is screeching out "Total Eclipse of the Heart." WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And man did the waitresses ever suck. And not in a good way like they used to do in the "Foxy Den." One of them marched up and down like fucking Oliver Hardy in the "March of the Wooden Soldiers" and kept telling me she wasn't my waitress. And the twat that was my waitress kept disappearing for twenty minutes at a time. What's up with that shit?

But you know why should I complain. The wife let me off the leash a little. I had about six pints of Guinness's, a rare cheeseburger and double order of tater tots so what the fucking fuck I can't complain. I mean I had to listen to Derby guy talk about his job and the cackling of the other fuckin'  twats about how cool Michelle Obama is but at least I got to hang out in a bar and have a few pints and a burger. It has been a while.

And you know what.

I don't fuckin' miss it in the least.

Especially some Mo singing "Footloose."

WAITRESS BRING ME ANOTHER PINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like karaoke. I'm told I'm quite good at it, but I only do songs from the 60s and 70s--stuff that was only on vinyl.

I do impressions too--Richard Nixon, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Rod Serling, Walter Brennan, Lionel Barrymore. Actually, I do impressions of Rich Little doing impressions but who cares. I can also do weird shit like foreign accents speaking English and speaking German with a Dutch accent. Let me know if you ever need any voiceovers. I could upload any of those voices saying pretty much anything to YouTube.

Trooper, so you must be feeling pretty good after all those pints of Guinness. Or are you blind drunk, is that why you used such large font?

Hehe.

Trooper York said...

Actually I did it in word and copied it over because I didn't want to lose the flow if I messed it up in the post.

Trooper York said...

Also I have been having a problem with Internet explorer and my posts are coming out all messed up. So I have to compose them in Firefox and the fonts are too damn small for me to read.

I NEED ANOTHER PINT OVER HERE!!!!!

Your waitress has left the building.

Allie--Trooper's post is in 6-pint font.

Chip S. said...

I just saw the news about Mariano Rivera.

Trooper needs more than 6 pints tonight to ease his pain.

Trooper York said...

Hey I am as sober as a judge.

MamaM said...

MamaM arrived home from a combo road trip/retreat/anniv. celebration with MrM to queries of consideration and karaoke on the board.

The word karaoke provides a fit description for this post and other places and situations where something is different or missing: karaoke, portmanteau of Japanese kara "empty", and ōkesutora "orchestra", also known as Minus-One in the Philippines

Empty Orchestra, Minus One...

AllenS said...

I have the DVD of Laurel and Hardy in March of the Wooden Soldiers. How cool am I?

AllenS said...

Just to show everyone how super cool I am, I also own the boxed set on DVD of Amos 'n Andy. It's all of the half hour TV shows. I think that there are 67 shows. I haven't watched them in a while, but I believe that the commercials were from Pabst.

OH, and it's the platinum edition!

Titus said...

Welcome back Mamam.

During the retreat did you see your third eye? Are your chaka khans in alignment?

How did your tits hold up during the trip?


Great to have you back.

tits.

ndspinelli said...

Sounds like you were in Joe Pynes "Beef Box." Too many men hold in their emotions. You obviously don't have that problem.

Speaking of the Derby, as you may know I am a horse player. I actually bet on a horse[favorite] @ Aqueduct a couple weeks ago named Titus Catienus. He came in 3rd. I believe he was admiring the 2 horse butts in front of him.

There are 20 horses in a pretty wide open race on Saturday. If so inclined, you folks pick a horse. I've got Gemologist. My bride is studying the jockeys silk colors, she's a real handicap err...handicapper. She picks a horse, I pick one, and then we box the 2 in an Exacta. It's always good to have a horse in the race and drink some good Kentucky bourbon. I like a fairly obscure brand Old Forrester. Although Maker's Mark and Woodford are good. Woodford is the official bourbon of Churchill Downs.

I would make bets for you folks but I would hate to have to break your leg if you didn't pay.

Us old folks appreciate the change to big font.

...drink some good Kentucky bourbon.

Pappy Van Winkle. Good luck finding any.

Allen, you know what I would like in a set of DVDs? The Little Rascals. They were before my time, I'm not THAT old, but I loved watching them on TV after school as a kid.

I wanted to be Darla.

I envision Trooper as Spanky, crack as Buckwheat, not because of their ethnicity, only because Crack is as afraid of new age cults as Buckwheat was of "haints".

So who is Alfalfa?

LOL!

rcommal said...

Allie, you can see a lot of epusodes via the internet.

rcommal said...

My son found them on YouTube.

MamaM said...

During the retreat did you see your third eye?

Of course!

And when the custom's agent asked Titus if he had anything to declare, what was divulged?

Regarding little rascals, I received the gift of a "Spray Away" from the loving hub to deal with the raccoons that have been nightly feasting on the suet hung out for the birds. The raiding started in the spring when they came out of torpor and the little masked rascals now resemble giant butterballs. There is something highly satisfying in hearing the motion sensor activate the water sprinkler and knowing the suet will still be there the next morning.

Something divulgar I imagine.

Nice to see you back.

MamaM said...

Thanks chickenlittle, it's good to miss and be missed.

This is a peculiar one of a kind place. Through Titus, I discovered why a seer is so named. I'd not previously connected third eye awareness and seeing as the root of seer even though the word was familiar from early on through the King James.

chickelit said...

Sometimes Titus is like a window to our soles, blowing through our minds.

♫ Summer's Eve, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jazmine in my mind ♫

Titus said...

How odd. Sometimes I gently lower my balls in a combination of essential oils and sometimes I choose jasmine/

Coinky/dinky?

Mamam's back!

Yea!

Send in the band and the dancing girls.

Let's work it girls.

Sylvia Sydney-was an old, disgusting famous drag queen in Boston who would take out her teeth and sit on a toilet and pinch a loaf while on stage. Is that the same Sylvia Sixty was speaking about.

Rcommal, when my grandkids come to visit at the lake house in summer, on rainy days we watch old Max Fleischer cartoons, Shirley Temple movies, Little Rascals, Betty Boop, Popeye and more I can't even think of now. I got my grandkids hooked on these old gems. Grandkids are such fun.

ndspinelli said...

I hate when I sit on a toilet to take a dump and my balls hit the water. When I walk the beach in San Diego I know all the public toilets w/ low water so my balls remain dry and fecaless.

Anonymous said...

We are so lucky to have all our equipment so nicely tucked inside our bodies, it's great to be a woman!

ricpic said...

The fecal ball problem is solved by the bidet. What's with us in the good ol' US of A that we are so resistant to the bidet is beyond me. Gotta give the Frogs credit in this one area. All other areas not so much.

chickelit said...

Nick, just the notion of sitting on a public toilet in San Diego is fa schifo.

Glad to be guy.

ricpic said...

I don't see how. You don't take a dump in a bidet do you? They're just for washing up.

The German toilet seems to solve the balldunking problem nicely. Product is deposited on a dry platform for inspection. Of course the Italian innovation of squatting over a hole while standing on raised nonslip treads nicely avoids the problem unless you're so hung you can rub the floor while squatting.

AllenS said...

Nick, you wouldn't have that problem with a Japanese style toilet. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Not the binjo, but the indoor (or kinda indoor) Japanese old style toilet.

blake said...

I've never karaoke'd.

I'd go a capella or whip out the uke, if there weren't something more suitable for accompaniment, tho'.

I do own—and occasionally wear—a derby. It's one of my lesser sins.

ricpic said...

You move from toilet bowl to bidet, which is right next to toilet bowl in Euro bathrooms. Problem solved. Don't get me started on the fact that lack of bidets in this country means you either "improvise" or walk around with dirty ass crack and balls all day. Ya see? You got me started.

chickelit said...

Ah, now I see what you're saying ricpic...you're saying "go ahead and dunk your balls in that public toilet, Nick--you just need a handy way to clean them right away afterwards."

I saw the problem as the ball-dunking from the get-go. My solution was to hold back on the fun factory until getting home.

AllenS said...

To avoid getting your balls wet, put both feet on the seat and then squat. If your balls still get wet, well then there's no helping you. Send a picture to Allie, she's a nurse and will probably have something to tell you.

Titus said...

Blake you seem to have low hanging balls.

That's hot.

blake said...

Say what?

Anonymous said...

Allen, I do have a story about a gay old gent who had a roommate who was hung like a horse, testicles and penis both. Mind you this was on a dementia unit so both guys were a bit affected.

Every time the aides would walk the well endowed gent past old gay gent's bed, the poor old sweetheart had conniptions, he would beg us to bring well hung gent over for closer inspection.

Old well hung gent was quite deaf and didn't understand what old gay gent was wanting, he just thought his roommate was very friendly.

Hehe.

Anonymous said...

I should explain that the old gents wore hospital gowns to bed and if they soiled them, they would come off and be walked to the bathroom for cleanup naked, then a clean gown was put on.

Titus said...

sorry Blake, i was speaking nick's balls.

hanging low.

tits
