Five Bar Blues

Saturday, Nov. 24, 2007 - 12:55 a.m.

First, this week's Friday Five:

What is your favorite experience in your life so far?

So many to choose from. I'd have to say finally finding my faith, which I am presuming has improved all of the rest of my life experiences since then.

What motivates you to keep going every day?

Oh, it varies. Most of the time I'm just delighted to wake up and actually still be in this incarnation.

Where do you want to go in life? What do you want to accomplish?

I'd still like to see my impostor end up behind bars with a 'wife' nicknamed 'Mandingo'.

Is there anything that you regret? Do you try to change it?

I wish I'd given Tom Chaplin a hug or a handshake the last time he was within reach! Definitely next time!

What is your most cherished gift you have received? Why do you cherish it so much?

Too many to list here!

Ooh! Meet Baby, the bionic cat!

She has survived some bad luck, has metal in all four legs, and used up most of her nine lives -- but she's still going strong.

Here's a list of five drinks that bartenders hate to make.

Gosh, I just love it when service people whine about dispensing service.

Either you can handle being a bartender or you can't. Nobody forced you to do this.

Don't be in the job and tell us how difficult your life is because customers make your lives so miserable by ordering drinks with more than three ingredients.

I don't give a tin rat whistle what you do or do not hate to do for me. You're doing it for me, and as long as I always tip, always say thank you, and always appreciate your work, then you are expected to do that work...without complaint.

To the readers who occcasionally tie one on while socializing: Please, I implore you -- make very very certain you order at least two of the most complicated adult beverages you can think of the next time you go to your favorite honky tonk.

And then, tip heavily. Gotta get some of that positive reinforcement going, ya know...

All right, that's it. Have a good Saturday.
