Kickball, Work, Dragonmaster

So it's Sunday and I decided to do another double. I get to work and have on my SYT Staff Kickball shirt (mainly cause it was laying on the floor and looked like a good idea) I have been sitting there chatting with Sweetheart and Asian Persuasion walks in. He asks if I wanted to play kickball today because we were short on girls. Now Schoolyard puts on a kickball league in the summer and dodge ball in the fall. It is a 45 minute game and only 5 innings. I look around and see my potential to make a million dollars is zero at this point and decide to head to the field. Since I obliged and played I got to ride on Buddy, Asian Persuasion's scooter. Let me tell you those little fuckers go fast! We arrive at the field and are short a players, so my brother had to play. The other team found it unfair because he is normally the first base ref, oh well our league our rules.

I get put into the pitching position because why not put the girl with her hair and makeup and khaki shorts as a pitcher? This team was particular in what they wanted because apparently I threw to far to the right or left sometimes. They get a good lead on us and force us to end the inning with a significant lead. Now it's not that they are that much better, but we have beer strategically placed near the players, and my team wanted to make sure they didn't knock it over, which in turn made a few key catches not be caught. Does that make sense even? However we had 3 outstanding plays made in the end which still wasn't enough to guide us onto victory. So the game ends and we head back to the bar. I have a couple hours before work so I decide to do some drinking.

We have a pretty good group in and some of my Baby Doves even came into the bar to get some dinner! Icing has begun and the crowd goes wild. At one point Asian Persuasion believes he has everything blocked until Poorman pulls out 2 times the amount of ices he has and makes Asian Persuasion drink 4 at a time! Now that will do a number on your stomach later let me tell you. These poor boys have to be on sugar overload! So some how Dragonmaster ends up getting bombed and decides to dance on the bar...really this should not come as a shock to anyone who participates in festivities at the bar. She is also Hamming me more than is necessary but like the champs we all are we take it with a smile.

Now it's about time to start work. I have some of my favorite teams in the back and we are all having a good time. The blue team includes the boys around the corner and they love to ice, I'm talking they have some creative ways to do it! One of the guys I went to high school with and will call him M-town until I come up with something better. He has blockers and actually found an ice before they could do it so he made sure to get extra blocks. It was all very crafty on his part! Poor SoCo, his name is similar to this but like I said I will not use real names, has probably done 10 today. They are serious about their icing, they have them ready in beds, in the bathrooms, they go all night and day, btw where was this when we were in college? So anyway i go back and forth with the deliveries and am standing at the bar computer typing something in and noticing that Dragonmaster can not stand. She is literally swaying and has the drunk grin and jumbled words going on. I start to reach for something and notice her falling back into the stairwell. I don't know how my reflexes were so fast but i caught her around the waist and held her arms up so she did not break her neck. She then sits in the stairwell with me in front and Sweetheart in the back.




(I am very sorry for these pictures but I had to do it)

Sweetheart transfers me her tables and decided to take Dragonmaster home. They leave and apparently could not find her car because a coherent statement was not part of this deal. Sweetheart finally finds it and realizes that she also does not know the new address of the Dragonmaster, luckily Muffy came to the rescue and knew where she was. So now I am back to serving and some of the craziness dies down. Things become calm and people start to leave after the Cubs/Sox game, which I would like to say Sox are up 2-1 in the series.

By the end of the night we were all ready to just bolt. We needed to get some rest and get away from the crazies. However I am sure the next Sunday will include a lot of the same shenanigans as this one. I have also been informed that the girl I call Sunday Funday claims she will not be participating again, I responded to her that the day she does that is the day the Dragonmaster does not get drunk and get on the bar...so see ya next Sunday! Bloggers I am not working much this week but promise to update more often and tell you all exciting stories about previous bars I have worked at or other fun entertainment that goes on!!
