Hi.
I've been hanging around, looking at the place for a while now. It's nice, like one of those smoky pubs on a major highway where not many people
know each other well, but some do. The newcomers sit at the bar and stare at the crowd behind them through the mirror where all the bottles are lined
up. The regulars sit at tables or play pool at the back. It's buzzing with conversations and the tunes are muted.
It seems a popular place but well regulated, with burly bouncers wandering about in pairs or little clutches gathered near doorways. When an argument
breaks out, they're likely quick to the spot to break it up. I feel comfortable, lay a ten-spot on the table and order a beer from the pretty
bartender. I notice her nametag... DontTreadOnMe and tip ALL my change to her right away
remembering that flag the Tea Partiers all like to wave
around. Grinning, she says thanks and moves on down to another customer.
Grabbing my beer, I get off the barstool and wander to the back of the room where the pool tables are. In the dim shadows along the wall are a few
empty tables and, sitting down, begin watching the game of snooker at the nearest table. One guy, about 5'10'' and fairly slim, wearing a Harley
jacket and leather chaps was clearly having trouble sinking reds. He was too fast and not taking his time lining up the cue. The big fellow playing
him was patient, smiling, and enjoying the grimacing biker as he missed yet another and even almost sank the cue ball. Man... that big guy looked a
lot like a wrestler.
Anyways, as the game ended, I could see they really were the best of pals because the biker handed over a twenty without frowning.
Finishing my beer, I headed back over to the bar and, on the way, heard a nasty exchange at a tableful of people. They were arguing about politics.
Next thing you know, one called another a 'libtard' and the bunch of them stood up yelling at each other, pointing their fingers and knocking the
drinks off the table. It was ugly. Out of the smoke, a single bouncer apeared and suddenly a big red sticker was slapped over the mouth of the guy
that had used the libtard label. It was weird. I looked closer and it said WARN in black letters.
Wow... strange bar.
Like it, though. Think I'll stay for a while and see what else might happen. Meanwhile, I need to find the bathroom. My back teeth are swimming. Know
where it is?
