Beer + Jack and Coke doesn't taste all that bad. No, really.
Jun 22, 2008
Dear very nice man with whom I bet I have a lot in common,
We shared a brief, and yet completely hilarious and very touching moment at the Detroit Cobras show at Detroit sometime last week or so. I never got your name, and truth be told I don't even remember what you look like. I think you had brown hair? I'm like 90% sure you're a dude? I'm sorry, but my beer was almost empty and I was headed to the bar for another, so it goes without saying that my pace was somewhere around warp drive.
But back to that beer. It was prematurely empty because moments before I had tossed it over the head of some douchebag. I'd only gotten about two sips in before my dial went to HULK SMASH, so yes, I needed a replacement, ASAP.
This particular guy was being an above-average jackass to a large number of people on a relatively small dancefloor, and so you, as well as several other people, heartily approved of this beer pouring action. In fact, that night marked the first time I've ever been applauded for throwing alcohol (down anything other than my throat), and I'd be lying if I said I didn't warm my heart just a bit.
So on my way to the bar you (kind, sweet, generous person) stopped me and attempted to refill my nearly finished beer with yours! How kind. Only, uh, you were drinking Jack and Coke. Still, the sentiment was greatly appreciated, and I wanted to let you know that. Someone who would attempt to refill a girl's drink after she so painfully had to sacrifice it for the good of the majority? You sir, are my people.
And while I am definitely taken (mostly. No, I kid! Hi, Baby! See?! Totally taken! Honey, please don't beat me tonight.) you are clearly the kind-hearted, thoughtful, and generous type that I wouldn't think twice about setting up with one of my lady friends. Though they would probably chew you up and spit you out by oh, day three. Come on, I throw beer at people, what kind of females do you think I hang out with? (At the last Detroit Cobras show at the Galaxy, one of my ladies threw a beer bottle at someone and then spit IN THEIR FACE. Dude, I am totally the quiet one of the bunch, I AM NOT EVEN JOKING.)
Cheers,
Joey
