Irritating BS your SO does

This is apparently my 4,000th post. I will go cry into my pit of shame now.

God i'm approaching 7K posts, what are you trying to say huh?

Make it three -- I took a six-month sabbatical while my marriage was exploding and I was popping Ativan like Tic Tacs.

I'm trying to say that your pit of shame is much deeper than mine. I don't even want to know what's down there.

Well, I lurked for the first year and didn't even really hit my stride until about 18 months ago. Well, I think you'd be impressed with my pit.... we Bombay Sapphire martinis, and of course hookers and blow.

Amen. It's bad enough that I have to watch it replay in my head. If footage of me standing on top of a table in Naples Pizzeria, a pitcher of Natty Light in one hand, clad in a flannel shirt, black micro-mini, ripped cotton tights and 8-hole Docs, belting out "New York, New York" in the style of Eartha Kitt ever was released, I would have no career left.

OMG. That is F###ing AWESOME!

Good times, Jewel. Good times.

I want in! Damn it all, how do I get into that pit?!??!?

Generally, the path to this pit requires a voyage down the walk of shame to OT. That is the only place that I could manage 80 posts in a day

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Well, I'm doing a good job right now between here and Site Related, where I'm expecting an imminent and feeble attempt at a smackdown for daring to mock VJ royalty.

Can it be martini time now?

[The_Dude 1,142]

I wish it were Martini time. My clock says it is approximately get of my as$ and do some work time. But I suspect it is a tad off.

if you swap out "Naples Pizzeria" for "Backstage Bar" you should be grateful I don't have a video camera in my phone. But with better clothes, of course.

Backstage Bar

/cringe

I cut my teeth in that bar. My cousins lived down that street that that bar is on. It was always convenient having a couch to pass out on less than 300 feet from the bar.

I still love the Backstage bar....they have the best happy hour *and* karaoke

I quit going there because all of a sudden, I was 30, and everyone else there was 24-27 and I didn't want to run the risk of being branded "That Guy"

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

but I'm almost 40 and I'm still there :crying:

You're not the only one.

So wait, I can go back now? There won't be the droves of 21-22 year olds there? Sorry to anyone who fits that demographic, no offense, but I just don't fell comfortable at bars taken over by the youngsters.
