He says it's the worst night of the year, because people drink so much they don't really tip well, and the bar stays open all night (instaed of closing at 2), so by 3am, insane amts. of fights break out. Then he still has to stay and work until 6am, regardless of how few customers make it past 3-4. He works his butt off, puts up with tons of crap, and doesn't make much to show for it :( Not to mention he'd rather be home with the kids and I for once. Oh well, cest la vie... |

There's some super hot eastern chick id bang the hell out of, with a fat gypsy boyfriend. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |
