WHERE DID THE BARTENDER GO TO COLLEGE? F*** U.

Geez, ya sit in the corner of the bar 16 hours a day, ya cram bills into that SOB's tip jar (hey Barkeep, ya ever think of maybe washing that filth-encrusted thing once in a while?), ya tell him over and over what a swell joint he runs, and what thanks do ya get? A free beer? A pass to the Champagne Room? A drink named after ya?

F*** NO!

You get to hear the freakin' host bitchin' & whinin' like a kid who got his lollipop stolen.

"Nobody leaves comments. Nobody loves me. I've gone from a Microbe to a Mammal in 3 weeks but I need MORE attention. Gimme, gimme, gimme. ME! ME! ME!

Ah, F*** YOU, Bartender. I ain't listenin' to your crap any more. There's a million bars in cyberspace, and none of the rest of 'em have your constant, pounding stream of blathering bullshit. Nowhere else do I have put up with you idiotic carping, and those godforsaken-stupid-hideous puns & jokes. Cripes! It just makes me want jam a swizzle-stick in my ear to make it all stop!

Dammit Barkeep, I've had it with you! For 2 cents I'd bust you right in the chops, ya lousy bum! And furthermore...

What?

Free pretzels?

Ok, I'll leave a comment.

And slide me down a tapper before the Jumpin' Irish Army Boy drinks the god-damned place dry.

Thanks, Barkeep.

FREE FOOD FOR HUNGRY VETS

Matt O'Blackfive has a bone to pick with Veteran's Day.

What could possibly be wrong with a day that honors those who've sacrificed life, limb, blood, time, and treasure to protect the country they so dearly love? Well, nothing... in theory. In practice... a lot. As Matt points out, the only people who get this day off are government workers - regardless of whether they've served. Retired & discharged vets all over the country working jobs in the private sector receive nothing. As do those on active duty.

Well, maybe not nothing:

**********

Veterans Eat Free on Veterans Day! Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick, founders and managers of McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants, are offering a free lunch or dinner (with coffee or tea) at their restaurants nationwide on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. The meals will be available from specially selected menu items for veterans with identification such as a veteran's ID card, discharge paper or DD-214.

**********

If you're a veteran, go eat. You deserve it.

If you're not a verteran, go eat to say thanks to McCormick & Schmick for their thoughtfulness and generosity.

BENEATH THE DARKNESS

I've compared J's writings to Stephen King.

This is darker.

I've compared J's writings to Harlan Ellison

This is darker.

Now I'm debating whether to compare him to Dean Koontz.

I think this is still a little darker.

Clive Barker, circa The Books of Blood?

Yeah, that's about right.

My only complaint about this piece is that it screams for continuation. I want to know what happens next. Maybe if he gets enough requests, he'll give us another chunk.

Dana, sweet mother-to-be, I have to warn you personally, you probably don't want to read this one.

HQ ROUNDUP

The Bear is taking suggestions for keeping the New Blog Showcase from deteriorating into a left-right pissing contest.

Susie gives an excellent review of this week's New Blog Showcase contestants.

The Precision Guided Humor - Lessons From Ted round-up is available for viewing.

A new PGH assignment has been posted. Looks like the League of Tree-Huggers forgot their witty tagline, just like Glenn. MUAHAHAHAHA!

COTV #58...

...is up at Who Censored Blogger Rabbit. I've barely had a chance to get started, but I found this entry from PC Watch to be intriguing. He explains the origins of the term "political correctness":

*********

“The term "politically correct" (PC) was first used by supporters of the Communist Revolution in Russia. They decided that it would be politically incorrect to speak up about the mass murders being committed by the revolutionary government, since doing so would give comfort to the enemies of the revolution. To be politically correct was to support the promised goal of absolute equality, even if the means included mass murder.

*********

I'm not surprised, but I am nauseated. Not to mention entirely displeased that the lefties have seen fit to carry forward this fine commie tradition.

Why couldn't they just stick to drinking way too much vodka, instead?

YOU ASKED, I ANSWERED

My interview is up over at Jen's place. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the linky version to arrive, so I had to send a plain text version to her using my crappy emergency back-up Yahoo e-mail so I could get to sleep before sunrise. *sigh*

So, in the interest of clearing up some of my confusing answers, here are the missing vital links:

Madfish Willie’s Cyber Saloon

Scorched Earth

Frank J. of IMAO

Olongapo

Susie of Practical Penumbra

Dana of Note-It Posts

Heather of Angelweave

a nice picture of Kate in a rather attractive dress

Susie for non-picturey reasons

Lynn of Reflections in d minor

Jen Lars

Triple Rock Brewery and Alehouse

Matt O'Blackfive

Steven Den Beste

Bill Whittle

Dollars to Donuts

Hope that helps

Anyway, you still have a few hours (midnight CST Wed) to submit questions for Bill of Bloviating Inanities, and a day and a few hours (midnight CST Thur) to submit questions for Helen of Everyday Stranger.

Please torture them as you've tortured me.

I hope they enjoy torture as much as I do...
