Since He Got that Damn Cataract Surgery

Where to begin? Where indeed... I suppose I should begin at the Beginning. I arrived to a touching and, at the same time, inspiring collection of sights:

1. KG tottering gingerly behind the The Sound Machine in what can only described as a neckbrace fashioned using mediaeval technology... Big, Metal and Uncomfortable Looking.

2. Jimmy way down the bar by the pool table... on a stool!.... eating Karaoles grub... with his arm in a sling!

Obviously, before I could process all of this visual information, I had to settle a little matter with Mr. High Life. So I tried to catch one or the other of Mrs. Jimmy's eyes only to be thwarted by two competing distractions on her attention(s)... Jimlet putting in a drink order and Carol shouting incoherent and abusive orders at Mrs. Jimmy. I thought all was lost, but guess who came to the rescue with a Long Distance Strike? Jimmy!... From his pool table stool he growled through a mouthful of Hamburger the appropriate orders to Mrs. Jimmy to pay attention and wait on Paying Customers. I quickly apologized to Mrs. Jimmy for getting her in trouble and she brushed it off with, "It's okay, baby... Since he got that damn cataract surgery he has eyes like hawk."

Me and Mr. Miller had just started our conversation when Joe and Rhonda came in and beheld all that I had seen.

After the initial shock and resulting tear-up, Rhonda made short work of the whole thing...

Jimmy: Car crash... Woman (of course) T-boned him in an intersection... totaling his car and messing up his arm... he seems content to milk her insurance company for the time being

KG: 2 car crashes resulting in neck surgery - apparently involving Titanium and a Human Cadaver Bone... we are not sure how or if they were actually inserted into his body or not. Rhonda's quote: "Hey, KG, is that a Human Cadaver Bone in your neck or are you just glad to see me?!"

After repeated desperate SMSs to the Alien, he finally got there just before the first rotation.

KG dropped a bombshell... K will not only be on R but now it will be on T too! so we will have the option to K @ K's on T or K @ K's on R.... Krazy!

There were some particularly Loud and Amateurish Hipsters who just didn't get it... calling attention to themselves by Overly Enjoying what, I can only conclude, was their very first ever round of Beers... jesus where do these people come from?

I was a light "singer" night... Matchbox Kenny and KG had to "perform" more than I have ever seen them... Droopy got two or three in... We were all in a bitter-sweet mood due to all the human carnage so we hung back and only did one round... by the time we recovered the Jam was on due to a large table of LWLLs so we counted our Blessings and went home

THE LINE UP

The Alien: PAINT IT BLACK
Rhonda: FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER (Matchbox Kenny made some kind of crack that he felt the need to apologize for to Rhonda - but none of us heard it - so there was a lost opportunity)
Joe: (chose to sit this one out)
Lisap: (had to work and was not in attendance :( )
Chris: JUST LIKE A WOMAN (but my voice breaks just like a little girl)

See you in 2 (two) weeks at K's for K on R
