Drink Offs

It's another Sunday. I worked a double the day before and woke up early to hit the pool with Dragonmaster. We were prepping for our Kickball game and me for another night of crazy work. Our game got canceled so i went straight into work and was bombarded with the teams coming in to drink. I quickly switched into work mode and raced around the front room. I had the Spirit Animals, Cobra Kai, and the Idiots. All 3 are big drinkers! The Spirit Animals and Cobra Kai are in a dead lock to see who can be the drinking champs of the Kickball season as Schoolyard. Both have their own strategies, both get wasted on Sundays, both want the title. Cant you picture the movie voice man in your head right now?!

Anyway I had all 3 teams drinking strong at this point. Shots were had, boots were made, and drinks were coming quickly. The Spirit Animals moved to the back of the bar so that they could commence flippy cup games so I had to give them up to the back waitress. I still had the Idiots and Cobra. The Idiots decided to have a food catching game up front. They would throw cookies and tater tots and try to catch them in their mouth. You could not cross the carpet line though to get it. I got to play for a little bit as some of the non kickball teams watched on in fascination that this was going on in the bar! They didn't stay super long and closed out their tabs early. It was down to having the red team only and let me tell you they kept me busy! All of them showed up this week prepared to drink their faces off to make up for missing the week before. They brought some Irish kids with them this time. The Irish obviously could drink and were contributing to the tab (I think they actually played the game with them as well that day) so the tab kept going up.

At one point I had a tab for them that was at $500 and the power went out. Now if you refer back to the Blackhawks blackout I started to panic! I thought it was just our bar that went out. We had some engineers in the room though and they went to the dark basement to try to figure out what was going on. We learned a bit later that the whole block had gone out so it wasn't just our bar! The lights came back about 20 minutes later and drinking resumed. I had a table that was so confused when the teams kept saying we need to buy more and make the tab larger! I explained that the teams win a trophy and bragging rights at the end of the season. They were still a bit baffled that this was going on. However they were enjoying it nonetheless.

So I kept going up to USA and Captain D (he basically takes all the receipts and makes sure everything adds up and is the Dad of the red team) and telling them they needed to step up their game. He was having trouble because everyone was getting so drunk at this point, and he was upset with one of their players because she was joining the Spirit Animals, I don't know the drama that went on behind it or if there was something else going on so I choose to ignore and stay out after a certain point. Anyway the bombs kept coming along with the goldschlagger, and thankfully no Jameson! Eric had done the reffing for that day so he was busy playing flip cup and drinking as well. He kept worrying that I was too drunk to drive home. I literally had 2 shots all day. He later told me I had been hanging out with Dragonmaster all day and he thought we were drinking because apparently when I hang out with her that's what we do? I find that statement funny because we rarely have drank together! Even Saturday days have not consisted of Dragonbombs or Car bombs to start the day off right. I think we need to make that a staple in our Saturday shifts again.

Ok back to the story. So the teams are competing and USA decides to tell me that his roommate does this funny dance when he is drunk. I of course seize this opportunity to take a video. Let me tell you this kid was hilarious. I will call him Harlem, because it looked like he was attempting the Harlem shake!Here is what the dance looks like. I am sorry that it is sideways, I am not able to figure out how to turn it so you can see it, blonde here remember?




So anyway the night goes on and he continues to dance. At this point everyone else has left and I just have Cobra Kai and the Spirit Animals. Both of the teams are starting to wind down and I close out the red team. No joke their tab was $800 something. They were having a tough time collecting the money because the Irish kids did not want to pay for some reason. It finally all got worked out and we all left. I drove myself and my drunk brother home, this time thankfully there was no vomit, we got some breakfast where I felt bad for our server because it was dead and he looked like he hated life. I left a more than generous tip and hope that karma comes back to me soon! I know this wasn't a great ending to a blog but whatever it's my blog so deal with it!!
