Frequent Adjustments of Seating Positions

It was a long time no K - since early October. Big news: BikerBouncer has left to pursue other career opportunities. At least that is what we think we understand from Jimmy. All I know for sure is that Jimmy was on the bouncer stool and Jimmy was holding the big "hit them on the head" flashlight. We can also only assume that BikerBouncer's lingerie business has expanded to the point that he needs to devote his full energy to it.

The crowd was pretty "office party". However this one had a difference. They had, as the Alien pointed out, a "bizarro version" of each of us among them... There was an alarming amount of confusion and overlap of names being called to the mic... Mr Brett, The Alien and I were all called up only to find some bizarro us already at the mic trying to poach our performance slot. Quick wits and even quicker fists corrected any confusion anyone might have had about any performers' true identity.

After questioning Mrs. Jimmy, it turns out that Marie has a "trick knee" and is doing most of her drinking during daylight hours. Presumably something about darkness aggravates it.

Karaole's has had a small make over in the time we have been gone. I can only assume that the beer distributors have notice the drop in sales due to our absence and have decided to up the promotion budget for Karaoles. There were a number of new, bright and, frankly, yuppieish beer signs and chalk "menu boards". One beer sign was particularly garish and annoying. It features a background graphic of ivy and blares "Wrigleyville" in 8 inch neon letters. Wrigleyville!?

The distracting effects of the sign were quickly mitigated with repeated applications of High Life (and frequent adjustments of seating positions to avoid uneven tanning).

Other side note: We were fascinated by a news/human-interest story on the bar TV about a Microsoft dork/employee that has had a really unconvincing sex change and continued to pursue his relationship with the Asian mother of his child AND enjoy the use of Microsoft's Ladies Room! Will wonders ever cease?! At least that is what I think the story was about. Somehow enjoying this story without the sound heightened the Trans gender drama but might have lead to some erroneous assumptions about the particulars of the story.


THE LINE UP

The Alien: FRIEND OF THE DEVIL
Mr Brett: PAINT IT BLACK (now forever rechristened PAINT IT MATT)
Rhonda: (chose to sit this one out)
Lisap: VACATION (flashbacks to our recent GO-GOs concert)
Chris: SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

Hope to see you all @ K's for K next R!

I've K'ed Ev'rywhere

(Inspired by I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE by GEOFF MACK)

I was staggerin' on up that long dirty beat up Clark Street road
When along came a van piled high with an e-lec-tronic load
If your goin' to Karaoles Kounty Musik Inn, Mack with me you can ride
And so I climbed in next to KG and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so many Intoxicans
And I said, "Listen! I've K'ed on every road in this here land!"

I've K'ed everywhere, man
I've K'ed everywhere, man
Places you wouldn't dare, man
Faced a sea of blank stares, man
Of failure I've had my share, man
I've K'ed everywhere

I've K'ed in:
Reno
Chicago
Fargo
Minnesota
Buffalo
Toronto
Winslow
Sarasota
Wichita
Tulsa
Ottawa
Oklahoma
Tampa
Panama
Mattawa
LaPaloma
Bangor
Baltimore
Salvador
Amarillo
Tocapillo
Barranquilla
And Padilla

I've K'ed everywhere, man
I've K'ed everywhere, man
Places you wouldn't dare, man
Faced a sea of blank stares, man
Of failure I've had my share, man
I've K'ed everywhere

K this R @ K's?
