  • Of St Patricks Day Idiocy

    So, yesterday, my wife and I made the drive up to Salt Lake City to go meet up with coworkers and have a few beers, play darts, whatever, at an irish pub up there. I'm a beer drinker, and Guinness is one of my favorites, so I'm right at home ordering pints of it, and sipping it casually.

    On this, oh glorious day, the entire state packs in to bars and pretends to be able to drink this dessert beer. The end result is a room full of 21-25 year olds who look like they're being force fed lemons. While amusing, this isn't the reason for the thread.

    As I finish my beer, I take mine and the wife's glass up to order another round. About this time, I see a guy not far from me climb up on the bar and reach for the bar tender.

    BT == Bar Tender
    DDA == Drunk Dumb Ass

    BT: *shoves DDA off the bar* GET THE FUCK DOWN! NOW! OR GET OUT OF MY BAR!
    DDA: *mumbles incoherently, shrugs, and steps away*

    *few minutes later, I've got my back turned, talking to the wife, when I hear a loud smack noise. BT is shaking his head at DDA, now laying on the ground.*

    A nearby guy is shaking his hand as if in pain, has his other arm around a very pissed off looking girlfriend/wife/lover/whatever, and DDA is out cold. A bar tender who was off on empty pint roundup is pushing people back who are openly laughing at DDA. When the guy comes to, the wonderful Salt Lake police are there to escort him off. He was only out for about a minute tops, but because of it being St Patty's, the police were out in major force, which explains the 25 second response time. A bartender and a few witnesses follow to provide further information to the police.

    Sad I missed the action, but oh well. :-D
    Coworker: Distro of choice?
    Me: Gentoo.
    Coworker: Ahh. A Masochist. I thought so.

      And now for something completely off-topic -

      This cracks me up. I love the taste of Guinness. I just have to be careful with it 'cause I have a bad tendency to pound it.

      What was hilarious was when I was in pharmacy tech school, one of the other guys in our class is well over 6 feet tall and weighs at least twice what I do. I said something about drinking Mackeson Triple XXX Stout. He said he can't drink it, it's too strong for him! And here's little 5ft4in 120lb me, and I can out drink this guy that is 2-3 times as big as me. Must be the Scots/Irish blood.
      It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

        My guess too, but still a shame I didn't see it. He was being a douchenozzle the entire time we were there.
