Let&#8217;s post.  I&#8217;ve had 5 beers so I take no responsibility for typos.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain how I got here.  I went to the Saucer tonight and the crowd SUCKED.  So I walked out and went to the Tap Room.  There I actually ordered a beer and drank it and thought about how much the crowd SUCKED.  Then I went back to the Saucer and the crowd still SUCKED but I drank several beers anyway before I decided I just couldn&#8217;t take it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Then I came here.  Ran into a guy I knew and he said, &#8220;So, did you go to the monster truck show at the FedExForum tonight?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that explains the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>I was so bored tonight that I actually called The Most Annoying Woman On The Planet and left a message on her voice mail.  Earlier on I had thought about going to Raiford&#8217;s and figured I&#8217;d invite her to meet me up there.  Then I realized, if she agreed to meet me at 11, she&#8217;d call back at 12:50 and say, &#8220;Sorry, I went over to a friend&#8217;s house to complain about my ex-boyfriend for a while.  But I&#8217;m on my way&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s still a chance she could return my call.  Hang on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I put my phone on Silent mode.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m at McGuinness and that&#8217;s not a bad thing at all.  I came in here last week and there was a guy on the public-access computer playing Texas Hold&#8217;Em.  I recognized him as the brother of one of the Romanians who worked downtown this summer.  Which I guess would make him Romanian too.  I never officially met him but I knew who he was because a bartender at Blues City pointed him out one night.  So anyway, I was sitting at McGuinness&#8217; bar and he was sitting next to me playing Texas Hold&#8217;Em. I felt like I should say hello, but I couldn&#8217;t really think of anything to say other than &#8220;Hey, your sister&#8217;s hot.&#8221;  So I just sat and drank my beer and let him play.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the guys in my building have a weekly poker game.  Maybe I should invite him.<\/p>\n<p>Coming up on midnight.  God this town sucks tonight.  I have a feeling I&#8217;ll end up drinking cans of PBR at the Black Diamond 4-5 hours from now and that&#8217;s never a good thing.  By the way&#8230; several weeks ago I asked a trivia question asking the significance of the PEA VINE RAILROAD and no one got it.  There&#8217;s a painting on the Diamond&#8217;s wall of a train station from that railroad company.  I&#8217;m sure many of my readers have seen it, but am not surprised none of them remembered it.<\/p>\n<p>All right, guess I&#8217;ll get off now and let the other drunks use the computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, the computer at McGuinness is free!
