Mariano's Tavern Again

Brent told me that Adrianne was in and he wanted to know if i wanted to hang out with them, since i'm such a good time and all. Brent then asked me if i wanted to go with him to pick her up at the train station...as fun as picking up people at the train station is, i had to pass and said i'd meet up with them later to watch a movie or something.
Brent never called me back so i decided to eat a steak and run in the mean time. Finally called brent and made plans to meet up at Mariano's Tavern at 9:30. That would give us a half-hour before the karaoke goes down so we would be able to get a place to sit.

Once we got seated the lady came around to ask us what we wanted. i thought i'd be cool and get a water with a lemon slice and of course brent got a Guinness. After a bit brent ordered a tuna on a kaiser roll. The sandwich also came with a side of potato chips, below you can see brent enjoying a chip.
Seeing brent made it tempting to get something for myself but i told myself i would fight the temptation and not order any food, because i'm fat and if i really need something to eat i can wait until i get back home to raid the refrigerator. To help fight the temptation i ordered a coors light.

When the karaoke finally got running it seemed like the same couple guys kept going. Our table was next to some older ladies. Brent called the the Golden Girls. Not sure where that came from because there was three of them and not four...Two of these ladies looked like they were in their mid-fifties and the third looked like she was in her mid-forties. The on in her forties was completely obnoxious. Whenever a guy was singing a song she would stand up behind them and read the lyrics, dance a little, and stumble all over the place. She then decided to sing a Carly Simon song, You're So Vain. It was probably the worst attempt at singing a song i've ever heard. My one friend sang this song and it was a million times better than this intoxicated chicks attempt. The chick wouldn't stop drinking either when it was obvious she has had enough.
Besides a couple bartenders at Mariano's, there is this one guy that is always at the bar. Not sure what his name is but we're going to call him Bob. If you looked up 'regular' in the dictionary it would have a picture of Bob next to the definition. To top if off, you're guaranteed to hear him sing while you're sipping on a drink of your choice. He's also tone deaf but he has a lot of soul...so it balances out.
Brent still owes me like to karaoke songs as i have done a couple songs in the past but he's just too chicken to do it. One of these days i'll get him so intoxicated he'll think he's a super star and i'll have to drag him away from the mic. Brent and i thought maybe we could could adrianne to sing a song, but she doesn't even talk and getting her to do a song was pretty much impossible. Since i have never seen a picture of brent and adrianne together i thought i'd take a nice picture of them. Of course when i take a picture brent isn't smiling and adrianne looks away...oh well, maybe next time. At least brent looks 'normal' without his nasty dreads.
