one manga provides all i need.

but the argument that manga is a different medium than say a comic?

that's just trying to transcend the "japanese"-ness of it. besides, getting drunk and reading manga is fun.

and doing so in public more so!

I'm slowly seeing the final card that should take place when Gawker Fights The Internet once more:

Hamilton v. Ronnn--the winner gets...something. I don't know. Pride?

Sheila v. Emily--the winner is fired, but the loser is fired in an ironic way and then goes to work at Radar.

Richard v. SJP-fight to the death on a horse buggy.

Douglas v. 4Chan or Rocketboom Creator...really anyone who wants to go, I mean, that slot seems open.

Ian v. a Cylon. The old kind.

Pareene v. Lodgwick in a "Shorts Only" match

and for the main card:

4-Way Rumble in a Steel Cage.

Denton v. Rojas v. Sicha v. Spiers v. Calcanis.

I've been stopping in for nearly five years. He doesn't remember me at all. But his son does.

I swear, you pass out twice at the bar before 6 pm...

@collegecallgirl:
yes. and i am proud to have done so.

on a related note--does anyone know why they were closed so early two weeks ago? Friend went by at 4, open. Walked back at 7 pm and they were shut down for the night.

I worry about my grumbling awesome bartender.

excellent work, there's the pull-quote. so i take 10, you take 90. In Brains.

in money, it'll be the opposite.

@JinxyMcDeath:
Spectacular! You can pick me up at 8, buy my drinks and you'll be a millionaire after only three or four months of booze-fueled sex.

I only ask that refer to me in bed as "Mister Underscore Stevens." Or "King Honeypants." I'm game for either.

@ADismalScience:
while that is true, I still would prefer my assistants in maid uniforms blowing on my microwaved Trader Joe's enchiladas and making witty statements.

Not too witty, though.

Oh--and female. Oh--and the topic of a shitty non-existent and culturally incorrect NYT trend piece: [www.nytimes.com]

I've already done that, mashed them up with an old episode of The Greatest American Hero and turned the entire thing into a cash-cow meme that can only be found if you go to a certain part of the Internet at a certain time and hit Ctrl F.

Or else I was just really drunk last night and stuck my keys in my shoe. But it's Seth MacFarlane. Getting a key in your foot is infinitely more pleasurable than his jokes.
