Your “Don’t Get Drunk and Slam The Door” Sunday Evening Open Thread

 

So, how was your day? If there’s no more write-up than this, I am still drinking after working the day game at Nat Bailey.

Serious question: have we reached a generation of people that haven’t ever worked service jobs as a rite of passage? Because it seems a lot of young’uns sure as shit don’t know about tipping, or feel at ease not dropping a few bucks. Twice in two days, I’ve served groups of 10 people $70 in beers, and been stiffed each time. Now, I don’t expect a large amount, but it you’ve paid me with a $100 bill, and I’ve given you a $20 & two $5s back, common fucking courtesy dictates you reward the guy who huffed your beers up to your seats. Oh, and don’t act surprised when none of the other hawkers returns to your section; stories get around.

Anyways – end of rant. I did find this awesome flashback to the era of four channels & family night:

Your move, society.

Tonight’s sports:

  • Futbol:
    • CONCACAF Copa Oro 2017:
      • Curacao vs. México – 5:00 PM | UNI / FS1
    • Campeón de Campeones:

  • Beisbol:
    • Yankees at  Red Sox – 5:00 PM | ESPN / TSN

ENJOY THE EVENING!

A young Asian girl called me “Sir” today while working out. She wanted to use the bench. I’ve never felt so old.

Romonobyl

I think I saw that video, then my wife walked in and I had to minimize.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I hate having to minimize when I’m….ummmm, maximized.

Hey, but at least I still CAN maximize…so what am I complaining about?

I’m not sure which rumor is worse:

Superman might be one of the villains in the Justice League film, or Wonder Woman fighting Communists in Wonder Woman 2

Senor Weaselo

They’re going the Injustice route already?

Me entering the gym: Ok, I watched Minizilla for 9 hours and got my ass handed to me. It’s leg day, so instead of running the track, I’ll do the treadmill.

/sees gorgeous desi wearing skin tight blue yoga pants and takes off her shirt to go running in a skimpy top on the track

Wakezilla : On second thought, I’ll just go for a run on the track.

Only reason I still go to a gym

Romonobyl

Yoga pants are a gift, but should be limited to a size 6. Same applies to men’s Speedos, which should be outlawed outside of the French Riviera.

Oh she meets the requirements. That stomach is flat. It’s incredible

GoT would be hard to live blog. So many people use HBOGo or HBONow to watch it. I use HBOGo and I would be a good 50 seconds ahead of you at all times if I do what I did today and hit refresh on the site til it showed up and skip the ads for their shows. Like 3 to 4 min ahead if I skipped the previously on and 2 minute credit roll.

Shogun Marcus

Not only that, but none yinz would talk! Look at the last hour. It was dead until the show ended.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I didn’t want to spoil anything

Romonobyl

I also heard, from a friend, that there were other methods involving that information superhighway thing that all the kids are crazy about.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I think you are making that up.

Speaking of GoT, I would kill to sit down for a few beers with Peter Dinklage.

Somewhere online (maybe…[shudders]…Uproxx?) someone was telling a story about hanging out with him at a funeral. He was not impressed with the poster’s antics.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

…..He wouldn’t…… even…. HAVE TO SIT.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

One time in San Diego we had two pretty large meals (a dinner and a breakfast the following day) and had the same waitress for both. Kind of a neat coincidence. She made a big deal about us tipping really well though I hadn’t remembered it being anything special.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, if anyone is wondering what’s the deal with such a random story it’s cause I’ve been drinking.

blaxabbath

No no — that was totally interesting. Keep the hits coming.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This one time I was pumping gas.
Then I finished.
The end.

Romonobyl

You rubbed one out while getting gas? Dude!

theeWeeBabySeamus

No, that’s a different story.

Romonobyl

Pics or it didn’t happen.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It happened in a questionable Mexican joint…..errrrr I mean restaurant.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I shoulda smelled this one…. coming.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Did I mention it was two different restaurants in two completely different parts of town? I guess that was probably obvious.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That makes it a little less boring, yes.

Romonobyl

As long as you tipped appropriately, your buzz is deserved.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Just the tip?

NYT now reporting Sen McCain’s surgery may be more serious than previously thought. You heard it hear first: the GOP will kill off McCain and use the wait for a runoff to fill his seat as their excuse for not putting the health care bill to a vote.

Romonobyl

Well, he’s no war hero, remember?

Senor Weaselo

And use it as an excuse to pass the bill, don’t forget that.

Great first new episode of Game of Thrones. There was one big scene that I was expecting that I somehow knew exactly what was gonna happen down to the beats in the story telling, it was still good.

As to your complaints about people tipping. I worked in the service industry a bunch so I over tip normally.

Romonobyl

Would have made a good live blog.

Quote of the day from this morning’s wedding gig. “I promise to love you 360 days a year.”

Recently got back from the E.R. The Boy was playing basketball, his life, religion and reason for existence, when he got tripped up and fell hard on his back. Knocked the wind out of him bad, but he felt OK after a minute or two. That’s when he decided to cough up a little blood.
That qualified a phone call to dear old Dad. I hauled ass to pick him up while he talked to Dame Nobyl (not his Mother, but is still mom), who’s an RN.
X-rays are clear, just a mild bruised lung and a sore as hell back. Why I’m not totally grey haired is a miracle. Parenthood is fun you guys!

There was just a Snake Plisskin in-joke. Your point is validated.

Or maybe not – I guess that line was from Escape From LA a few years later.

Actually I just found out it is Bill Murray who calls Kelly Lynch’s husband (who is a friend of his) every time Road House is on TV – which means he must call him a lot I guess

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My friend Will is the one who broke that story. Was actually really good for his career.

Brick Meathook

Was there? Hmmm. In the meantime here’s John Doe from X in ROAD HOUSE, the greatest motion picture ever made:

People keep telling him “I thought you’d be bigger”. In Escape From LA they keep telling Snake “I thought you’d be taller.”

Just saw that George Romero died.

Night of the Living Dead was an amazing film. He had a lot of trouble getting the film shown originally because of two things…

1) the little girl eating her dead mother…

2) the main hero, a black man, slaps a panicking white woman..

I wasn’t a fan of his later zombie films. He was however, a visionary.

Romonobyl

Pluses and minuses.

JustStopDude

You know what depresses me…a lot of jobs that used to be filled by teenagers, like Pizza delivery or working at a fast food joint…its middle age people.

Like now a days, its hard as fuck for a lot of kids to just get that first summer job unless they got connections.

Its heartbreaking when you are getting a shitty pizza because you are drunk, its late at night, and its a dude or woman that should be at home with their kids, but they are stuck working a shit job.

blaxabbath

Fact. It’s an all-around fucked situation.

blaxabbath

I don’t know if Yeah Right hits the PM threads but, if so, great call on the fried chicken. Gonna season the balls out of this pot with this operation. BTW, after cleaning this pot up, I think may actually be new and just wasn’t cared for. The interior is smooth as ______.

That’s an old school dutch oven. Don’t over-wash it.

Just what was necessary to get all that fucking rust off. Once the caked off layer peeled, it was actually pretty smooth sailing (outside the crevices).

The first few times using new cast iron I use as much oil as possible and then let that oil stay in the pan. Don’t need to be in a rush to dump that oil out.

It seems to take a lot of their time, and data plan.

This shit on tipping beer guys at the stadium is that they provide an electable service that you choose ILO of hiking your ass to the beer stand, waiting in line, and spilling half your brewski on the trip back to your seat. That the price of the beer is no different with or without this service pretty much displays a blinking light that you tip the dude.

Romonobyl

Did he actually say “brewski”?

Don T

I dunno. Have the young ever tipped well? Roarin’ 20s? Vietnam War?

Romonobyl

My son works in a restaurant, he said the best tippers are half-drunk cougars.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

So……. just the tip?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s because they’re looking for a tip from him in return

Romonobyl

He’ll get to be my age, then kick himself silly over all the missed opportunities.

Brick Meathook

If you’re old enough to drink you’re old enough to tip or else get your ass out of the bar

Romonobyl

Any of you bozos old enough to remember the NBC Mystery Movie series back in the ’70s. That was a family tradition as a kid. Hell, any of you old enough to remember Bozo?

Romonobyl

Close enough.
