The bar is: OPEN!
I got a bad case of the slows this evening, so it's self service.
There's a box for tips if you did a really good job for yourself.
There's nothing but Big Bands and Sinatra on the jukebox, so don't even ask.
It's one of those kinds of evenings.
There are several bowls of salted-in-the-shell peanuts around.
Just put the shells on the floor.
Matcom will sweep out in the morning.

Y'all play pretty now.
:toast:

5. I'll just have a Canadian beer...
and just sit listening to the sounds of a by gone era...(sighs)
while I patiently wait for Ms.Leftist or Ms.Liberal to walk by for a dance to the swing.

12. Have you got any Leinenkugels Honey Weiss?
If not, I'll settle for an Icehouse. I was just thinking about throwing back a few cold ones. I may have to slip a few different cds into your jukebox, though. I can handle the big band stuff, but Sinatra is kinda slow.

The juke box is LOCKED.
It's a LOCK-BOX.

25. Got any old Auburn Knights or Alabama Cavaliers tunes?
Edited on Tue May-18-04 07:04 PM by DemoTex
If so, spin 'em. Pour me a Shiraz, while you are at it. Thanks, B. (BTW: I was the bassist for the Auburn Knights in the mid-60s. We had a "Battle-of-the-Bands every November, about the time of the Auburn-Alabama game, at Vestavia Hills CC in B'Ham.)

On edit: Oh, here is a tip: buy low, sell high (caveat does not apply to doctors, airline pilots, or the congenitally stupid).
