When the Going gets Weird, I get Going.
One of the things I like about Karaoles is that it has always just avoided degrading into an annoying COPS episode. While all the elements are there - liquor, Stonewash, Toothlessness - it has somehow avoided the obvious potential decent into viciousness.
However, I guess it was only inevitable that a "perfect storm" of events would lead to a Fall.
1. Karaole - (as she was quick to remind everyone within earshot) the owner of Karaoles - had been there quite a while when we wandered in.
2. Jimmy - the natural stabilizer - was NOT there. His bartending duties taken over by Catfish - a good man, but no Jimmy.
I should have known trouble was in the air from the nervous mood of BikerBouncer. He was carding everyone - even people that he never cards - "The Boss is here... so I gotta card everyone".
The second sign of trouble was the general mood of Karaole and her Posse of Male Sycophant Boyfriends. They were over served and over confident... and in possession of an edgy pack mentality. "It's okay... we are with the Owner!" So when one of the Sycophants started victimizing Jo-Anne (TEAR IN MY BEER)... jumping up on her lap in her bar stool trying to kiss her and breaking the stool it was not fun but not a surprise. It went on way beyond the point where it was merely uncomfortable and progressed into Prosecutable. BikerBounder was powerless - especially since minutes earlier Karaole had been drunkenly repeating about 20 times that, ".. I OWN this damn bar... I can fire anyone here.... any of you all here... I can FIRE!"... In fact she was cheering on the sycophant... all BikerBouncer could do was look on sadly in disgust and repulsion... Jimmy would never have allowed it.
To top it off Karaole swaggered up several times to "perform" to howls and grunts from her sycophants... including an actual pole dance in appreciation from Jo-Anne's sexual assailant...
We could only pretend not to notice (in order to avoid being victimized ourselves) and hope that cooler heads would prevail.
It was just a plain mean vibe... One of the only bright spots was the unexpected arrival of lisap
It went from weird to terrifying when Lil'Jimmy entered obviously Amp'ed way too far up... I am guessing he had some kind of chemical help there (The Alien asks, "Meth?"). That was the last straw for us... when the Going gets Weird, I get Going.
Well now we know what we always expected: Jimmy is the only thing holding our Social Fabric together and keeping us all from descending into Chaos.
THE LINE UP:
Rhonda: (chose to sit this one out)
Joe: (chose to sit this one out)
Lisap: (chose to sit this one out)
Chris: (chose to sit this one out)
See you next week for K @ K's on R
