The Tin Fish

Posted in General Life, River with tags , , on July 3, 2008 by theeriver

So went out to dinner last night with a friend. Ate at the TIn Fish. Little Pricey, but so damn good. I started off with a drink of course, a White Russian with a nice Vanilla Cognac.  To eat I began with a Shrimp, and Corn Chowder. As my friend Nora would say it’s Tits, and Ass. Then I had a Green Salad with a very delicious Honey Mustard dressing. For my entree I had Lobster, and Tenderloin over Pasta.  Man the Tenderloin was cooked to perfection, and the Lobster just melted in my mouth. For dessert I had a Bourbon Pecan Pie, dear lord was so good I thought I was going to shed a tear.

I really do love the Tin Fish, Fine dining right in my own backyard. I been there twice now, and both experiences were awesome. Staff is knowledgable, good, and very nice. If you like seafood this is the place to go in the South burbs.

Tonight I will be going out to get my drink on, and that should be fun.

My liver will never forgive me.

So tonight I got to take a girl out because I lost a bet about Hell’s Kitchen. By the way the season finale is going to be awesome…just awesome. I swear I thought Christina was going to get the boot. I still don’t think she deserves to be there.

Thursday a long time friend of mine is back in town. He has been in the army for about 17 years, he just got back from Iraq. I’m going to show him the best Tinley has to offer, and get him drunker then a monkey in a whorehouse drinking banana daiquiri’s…ok that makes no sense, but I’m gonna get him drunk to celebrate is safe return to mother America. It’s what I do.

Then the 4th. It’s my motherlands birthday, and my real mommy’s birthday. I love my mommy…both of em.

So by the time Monday rolls around. I’ll either have some awesome stories, or I’ll be dead from liver failure.

Diary of a Bouncer - Roadhouse

Posted in Barlife, Movie with tags , on July 1, 2008 by theeriver

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Roadhouse as the definative bouncer movie. If you ever get a job as a bouncer, and you need a training manual look no further. Such tidbits of wisdom like,  ”You have to be nice, until it’s time not to be nice” Is pure bouncing gold.  Every bouncer who has ever worked at a bar has watched this movie and goes, holy crap that happened to me. Like when his car get’s trashed, or the drunks groping the women.

It’s like how Officespace is real funny to people that work in Office’s, same thing applies here. Not many appreciate this movie, but bouncers do.

Monday Hangover

Posted in Barlife, River with tags , , on June 30, 2008 by theeriver

First of all Congo Rats to the Sox for beating the Cubs. Now I have to endure their taunts for a few months. Even though things are even now, and I think there is a gross conspiracy because the Cubs just played like crap, but I digress. I don’t want to sound like a sore loser.

Friday night I went out, and I started to drink…alot. Lets just say their was a memory leak somewhere. I remember going to Holdstiens seeing Rendition. They rock, and they are such a good group of guys. Always a fun time when they play. I then know I went to Teehans for the usual car bomb. Now this is where things start to get hazy and come to me in bits and flashes. I went to Durbins, then I went to Kickoffs. Now during my haze somewhere I got this large foam hand that said Cubs on it. My friend got one that said Sox, and in the middle of Oak Park Avenue we did battle. There’s a video of our drunken foam hand fight. I’ll post it later.

Then after that I started drinking Bloody Mary’s with the camera man. I woke on Saturday at 12:30 in the afternoon still a little hammered. It was a rough day.

After a solid nap Saturday I went to a graduation party near Orland Hills. Watched some fireworks, and I don’t know they just don’t do anything for me. I would of rather had a half stick of dynamite blow some shite up. But the party was fun albeit a little wierd, and there was a little drama…of course. I was hoping my cousin would of called me to hit a bar, but I think he’s dealing with his own Monday Hangover…if I know my cousin.

Sunday was shabbos, even though I had to work. I just took it easy at home the rest of the day. I watched Semi-Pro with Will Ferrell, some chuckles in it but overall a little disappointing.

Ok here is the video of me and my friend beating each other up, in the wee hours of Saturday morning. The quality is very shitty, but I wanted you to see the drunken fools that we are.

More Deaf Girl Sex….

Posted in General Life, River with tags , , , on June 27, 2008 by theeriver

So I get a call on my phone yesterday, a pleasant sounding girl saying on my message. “I heard your into deaf girl sex, so am I give me a call 630-xxx-xxxx”. Now I had to listen to the message 3 times just to make sure that’s what she said because at first I was like. Wha? Then I was like Nooo way. Third time is like How the hell someone get my number.

The area code 630, I use to live/work/play in the area that uses that area code, so I thought it was one of my old buddies from an old job. So I called the number, and a girl actually answered, she was like, “Yea I’m into deaf girls too”  I was like “Um…ooookaaay”  But then the joke unravelled and it turned out my cousin, and friends were having fun.

I’ll get you HYPE!!!

So this weekend Rendition a very good band is playing up at Holdstiens in Tinley Park, their very good if your in the area should check them out. First though I have to an old friend out to dinner, she’s not a bar person so she won’t be coming with me. I am trying to convert her though, so we’ll see if I can create another drunk minion in my loyal army of drunkards. Muhahaha

Saturday I have a Graduation party to go to. Congratulations Milkbone! Only took you 10 years! I call her Milkbone, cause a dog attacked her once. Nice huh? I kid cause I love though, she’s like a little sister to me, and I wish her the best. She always takes my ribbing in good fun, but she can dish it out too. She calls me Papa Fry, and I have no clue why she does, I don’t even think she knows why, but it’s funny.

Then off to the bars to live it up….

 

So it will be an interesting weekend, I’m sure I’ll be hurting come Monday and I’ll have something to write for the Monday Hangover.  

 

 

 

Deaf Girl Sex plus a special Thursday Hangover

Posted in Barlife, General Life, River with tags , , , on June 26, 2008 by theeriver

So I am able to look at this blog’s statisitics, and the driving force that pulls people to my blog, and I can’t scarcely believe it, but it’s Deaf Girl Sex.

Yep when people do searches for deaf girl sex, my blog comes up on the second page. Don’t believe me. Go to Google, do a search on deaf girl sex, and on the second page, second entry or thereabouts is my blog.

I’m so proud. I’m in the big league Mom!!

Well I went drinking last night, yep on a Wendesday. A friend of mine was laid off yesterday and she was down in the dumps, so I took her out to dinner and some drinks. Ok I the plan was 2 drinks, then done. Somehow that plan didn’t pan out. I ended up rolling in at 2am. Ouch. But I wasn’t too bad. I even managed to workout this morning. I’ll be hurting later no doubt.

Age of Conan - What I don’t like about it.

Posted in Computers, Warcraft with tags , on June 25, 2008 by theeriver

Age of Conan I liked at first, but after playing it. It seems small. Now I know I’m too low level to really tell, but everything seems instanced. Meaning sectioned off by chunks. So the illusion of a big world is not there. Dark Ages, World of Warcraft. Yes they have instances, but for the most part they were bigger seamless world. It add to the wonder of it. Riding your gryphon of Outland. Jumping off a horse in Dark Ages in Salisbury Plains.  I don’t know maybe even though the game has nipples it’s not enough to keep my interest. I might try Pirates of the Burning Sea again, or go back with head hung low to video game prison aka WoW.

We’ll see.

Coffee’s for closers only.

Diary of the Bouncer - Fucking leave already

Posted in Barlife, River with tags , , on June 24, 2008 by theeriver

There’s a special time of night, which is like a mini-Christmas to a bouncer, and that’s last call. Time to kick everyone out. But there’s a class of people that don’t ever want to leave. I understand their having a good time, and don’t want to leave. I don’t understand why the good time ends when they leave the bar. If your making out with someone make out….outside, talking to someone…talk outside. Say your goodbye’s and leave. The people that work at the bar want to go home, they want to go to another bar, they want to be elsewhere.

I never understood those people that just don’t want to leave, when I’m out at a bar, when a bounce tells me it’s time to go, I don’t hmm, and haww. Hoping to stay a few extra seconds. No I get the hell out, I tell my friends to get the hell out too. There are plenty of other bars, or things to do.

All I’m saying if your one of those people that refuse to leave a bar when asked to at the end of the night, what if a bouncer doesn’t come to your office at 5pm when your trying to go home, and plops his feet on your desk and refuses to leave. You wouldn’t like it too much would you.

No I don’t think you would.

Monday Hangover

Posted in Barlife, General Life, River with tags , , on June 23, 2008 by theeriver

Ok first off I want to say a comedy legend passed. George Carlin, one of thee funniest guys ever. There is a huge hole in the comedy world. He will be missed.

Second I want to say Congratulation to the Cubs. They beat the Chicago White Sox, which makes my job working in an enclave of Sox fans a bit easier.

So Friday I went out late, went to Holdstiens, then Durbins. Then went to Dendrinos for the first time in a long time. That place went downhill. No one was there but people who were barely 21, and it wa s a sausage fest. A friend of mine 5 years ago got banned from there, and the owner is still pissed at him. They got into another fight. So I went to Kickoffs. Then to Olympic Star.

Saturday, dear lord Saturday. I started drinking at 4ish. At one point I was drinking Chocolate Martini’s as shots. Not a shot glass worth, the whole damn martini, I was drinking white Russians which are damn good, and for 4.50 aint a bad price cause it’s mostly booze with a little creme. Don’t think creme is such a hot idea though. I got so hammered by 2am I was drinking fricking water. My friend who is a drinker got so sick, he hurled on the street. I KNOW he had to be hurting Sunday.

Sunday I was hurting bad, but I was able to go to Guitar Center pick up a tuner, and some picks. I am determined to learn this guitar.

So there’s my weekend.
