This was posted over 18 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

after announcing we’re going to work on our whips

mibbs breaking ribs: “hey! i’m not the team dominatrix, i’m only the coach!”

spencer the piano player: “ok! time for john to come to the stage!”

john: *refuses*

spencer the piano player: “you won’t have to do anything! we’re getting some dancing girls up here to dance around you, you just need to sit up here and look pretty!”

john: *relents and sits up on the stage*

spencer the piano player: “ok, now let’s get some hot girls up here! any hot girls that want to try to win a shot, come on up to the stage!”

spencer the piano player: *starts playing music*

large man dropping off a song request form: *walks onstage to drop off a song request*

john: *sees the large man come on the stage and bolts off the stage*

large man: *stands on the stage for a bit while spencer continues to play and starts to dance*

spencer the piano player: “this man wins a shot for being the only person on stage!”

crowd: “hooray!”

todd the piano player: *plays the pittsburgh steelers fight song*

lady: *gives $1*

todd the piano player: “what’s this for?”

lady: “play anything else!”

todd the piano player: “ok… but i already got $20 from these guys to play the pittsburgh steelers fight song… (*to the guys who requested the steelers’ fight song*) so, i’m sorry…”

todd the piano player: *plays “HERE WE GO, STEELERS, HERE WE GO! **CLAP CLAP** HERE WE GO, STEELERS, HERE WE GO! **CLAP CLAP** HERE WE GO, STEELERS, HERE WE GO!! **CLAP CLAP***

todd the piano player: “…there, you said to play anything different, so i did!”

todd the piano player: *continues the pittsburgh steelers fight song*

spencer the piano player: “ok, enough southern music… no more ‘yee-haws’! time for some northern music! it’s now officially a northern bar”

guy in sunglasses and cowboy hat: *enters*

spencer the piano player: “holy crap! hank williams, jr! sorry, hank! no more time for southern music! time for some billy joel!”

spencer the piano player: “hey, how are you man?”

me: “doing alright, haha…”

spencer the piano player: “i need to head out, too bad i won’t get a chance to see you getting naked up on stage like usual.”

me: “nah, not tonight… but i’ll be back in a week! mark your calendar!”

after the buffet had already been cleaned up for the night

well-dressed man and woman in their late 20s: *talk to bouncer and then walk away*

bouncer: “they said ‘hey, we heard there’s a kickass buffet in here’ and wanted to know what was available, hahaha…”

bouncer #2: “hahaha… ‘kickass’?? you mean, hot dogs???”

lady in an SUV: *pulls alongside my mini and rolls down her window*

me: *rolls down my window*

lady in an SUV: “is that the john cooper works??”

me: “no, just the cooper s.”

lady in an SUV: “oh. my boyfriend has a cooper works — it’s pretty neat! it throws you around a lot, though.”

me: “oh yeah? i first test drove the regular cooper, and then i knew if i test drove the cooper s then i’d HAVE to get it, hahaha…”

lady in an SUV: “yeah, you’re a man!”

me: “hahaha, uh, thanks!”

me: “it’s the sort of a night when you need to have a pickle and a cigar.”

zenmetsu: “why??”

me: “um… because i had a craving for a pickle?”

zenmetsu: *fixes ice cream*

me: “ooh! ice cream! wait… it’s your funky sugar-free splenda crap ice cream. nevermind, i don’t want any. and besides — ice cream? cigar? pickles? it’s like i’m pregnant! where’s the baby!?”

mytinyworld: “what?! what did i miss?? who’s having a baby?!? glenn, are you pregnant?!?!”

me: “so there’s no milk so i can’t have cereal, and i used up the last egg today when i was having… an egg.”
