Bump! Me, Hugh Janus, and Pips are gonna be drinking at the legendary Remote Sports Bar (take the N/W to Ditmars, then walk down 23rd ave to 27th St and you can't miss it.) It's Ladies Night. Plus there's a pool table and they let you smoke inside. Come join us.

So it's on 23rd Ave and 27th St? I'm gonna be in that neck of the woods this evening; I might just pop in.

We'll be there starting around 6. You'll love this place, pinky. and you get to drink more or less free tonight.

posted by jonmc 27 April | 13:10

Will you still be there around 9, 9:30?

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 27 April | 13:16

It's a good possibility.

How do they get around the smoking ban?

It's Queens. and a non-touristy area, so nobody gives a shit.

Wouldn't it be great if I was some freak with issues who considered all humans, "mechanisms?"

That would make a good poem:

Wouldn't it be great
If I was some freak
With issues

Who considered all humans,
"Mechanisms?"

I know. Envious.

However, I just realized that I don't exactly have to wait for my next NY Metro area visit to coincide with a preplanned meetup. I can just be all "yo, who wants to meet me for a drink tonight?"

"SHADDAP YER BASTID" song
by Joe Famous

When we're at the bar we love to get plastered

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

We've got this whole takin' shots s**t mastered

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

We don't care if you're Jewish or Cathoilic

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

Just as long as you're drinkin'and the dive bar is stinkin'

All we need is a chick to go half with

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

If the juke don't play our song then we smash it

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

And if there's a private party, we crash it

Shaddap Yer Bastid!

And if you really dig this song, we hope that you sing along

If you're Latin say, "Callate la boca, bastardo!"

If you're French say, "Engarde!"

Girls say, "You retard!"

Anyway that you convey it.
Either sing it or say it.
Or yell it out really loud like you've had it...

SHADDAP YER BASTID!

posted by Hugh Janus 27 April | 15:28

Thanks man.

I had Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 in mind when I penned it.

posted by Joe Famous 27 April | 15:32

Wow, you think just like Eric Carmen! Though the hair just isn't the same.

posted by Hugh Janus 27 April | 15:38

posted by jonmc 27 April | 15:39
