My friend Apryl got fired from work. It wasn't really for anything she did or didn't do, it was because of some politics in the office that i am not really clear on. anyway, the person who got Apryl's job is drastically underqualified to do half of the work that Apryl did, let alone come up with solutions to the plethora of problems that arise daily with people and technology. (for a simpler description, Apryl is a navigator being replaced by a water seller). so on friday night Apryl, her finace Joe, our friend Lori from Arson and me went out to have a 404 Party. (for those not bombarded with computer stuff every day, 404 is the code for Website Not Found). This party was amusing and lasted till around four on saturday morning, but what really stuck in my mind were the comments that were made throughout the night. Some of these were pure poetry and i thinkthat this entry will be describing them. (please note, times are not exact, just a vague sense of what point in the evening the scenarios occurred)
8:30: Break Time bar and pool hall
Joe is lining up a shot on the pool table. For the half hour that we have been playing, Joe has been wiping the table with both me and Apryl and is about to do a simple shot that will put him into a position to pot the 8 ball easily if all goes according to plan.
Comment number one made by me: Woah! Check out the tits on THAT guy!
Joe missed the shot
9:45: The Martini Bar
Apryl was talking to Lori and was enjoying bad-mouthing just about everyone. Lori's friend Steve, Joe and i were standing around talking and listening to the halfway decent Jazz band that was kicking it at the other end of the room. The bar is noisy and full and there is a lot of shouting over the music and a lot of laughing. Apryl leans over and asks Joe to give her some money. Joe says soething to the effect of 'what will you give me for it?"
comment number two made by Apryl: I'll sell you my virginity. (note: Apryl has had two kids so this comment was funny enough to begin with but then...)
comment number three made by unidentified bartender: Really? How much does something like that go for these days?
11:30: The Martini Bar
comment number four made by me: I can't believe this. I was so proud of being a punk for so many years and here i am about to close a martini bar.
11:45: The Martini Bar
Apryl asked that we go to a place called Chantilly Lace (a dance club/bar). Joe said "Why are we going to go there on a friday night? It's gonna be stupid busy!"
comment number five made by me: Hang on a second, did you just use stupid as a modifyer?
12:35: Chantilly Lace
Comment number six made by me: Ok, Cindy Lauper:Bad, Dance Mix: Bad, Why combine them?
Comment number seven made by Joe: Because it's STUPID busy!
1:30am: Chantilly Lace
Comment number seven made by me: If there is a hell, this is the elevator music
3:30am: Perkins Resteraunt
Apryl was well and truly drunk at this point and decided to hold forth for about ten minutes about ow keyboards are set up so horribly as to cause her carple tunnel and when the hell was Lori going to get there because her boyfriend is this old guy with no real concern for her and who the fuck irons their t-shirts anyway?
Comment number eight made by me: Wow, that was one POLLUTED stream of conscious.
In all it was an interesting night. I hope you can glean some sort of sense from these comments
