Da Bears

Although yesterday's crushing lost left an entirely too large of an ache in Chicago's hearts the party still had to go on. We opened the bar at our normal 11am time, however had the entire bar pretty much packed in by 10:45. People camped all day waiting for this showdown between the Packers and the beloved Bears. As the game went on we went in to fits of hatred to fits of excitement to the ultimate let down all season. The Packers ended up winning in a devastating loss that could have been prevented had our Bears played like this game actually mattered. (I am sorry for your loss Dalton)

Enough about this tragedy however. This is the second Sunday in which things took a turn for the crazy! Last Sunday I worked waitressing and then bartending on literally no sleep and things were going fine for awhile. Everyone was having a grand old time because a lot of people had off for MLK day and were just getting hammered as usual. Shimmy was in with her friends and they were taking down shots and beer like it was going out of style. About 3 quarters of the way through the night a guy slapped her ass. She politely asked him not to do that and decided he needed to be cut off.

Well the other guy I was bartending with, Circles, had definitely agreed to cut him off so he told the guy this when he was asked and the guy flipped out. I was on the other end of the bar and all I saw was this guy come running around the bar and get in Circles' face. He started trying to physically assault him and luckily we have the most awesome regulars that came to the rescue! They jumped right in to pull this guy away but not before this guy ripped off Circles' shirt! Literally hulk style tore it off him. They got him out of the bar and everyone who didn't see what happened was stunned.

Circles' came in with his ripped shirt and one of our regulars Mike gave him the shirt off of his back literally! So that night ended and we got to go home and sleep. This brings me back to this past Sunday.

The usual suspects are in the bar and all bobombed and having a grand old time. I was sitting with some of our regulars who had just come over from the game and all of the sudden one guy starts yelling and causing problems! Again our regulars who were there the previous Sunday just walked in and saw this and all of them helped get him out, he was a lot easier then the guy from last week! Mike also brought an extra shirt in case this were to happen again! Shimmy showed off her killer dance moves by bending over and shaking her tush! I must say if they didn't come in on Sunday's I don't think the entertainment would be nearly half as good.

Elf came in with her boyfriend and he had on a killer suit with a Bears sweater vest. His dance moves were pretty phenomenal too. At one point I had a dance sandwich going on with her and Dance Magic!!

As I was leaving Circles was asking me what time it was and I informed him it was 10:30 (he had been one of my football guys cheering on the Bears during the day) and he looked miserable. I luckily had the option of going home which I took happily. I noticed however that Shimmy's friends were both passing out on the bar! Luckily I know these girls are troopers and powered through to make it to the end of the night.

I must stress again that it is not worth it to fight in a bar. I do not approve or agree with anyone's motives. We have all been there however we all need to start stepping away. Things can get out of control and shirts can be ripped and cops called. It is not amusing and only makes the person look like an asshole!!
