Munchkin and Peg-Leg step into the bar and the TUNE GINS eget nes inne i sunatey Munchkin- Oh my, it was dead, expect for a few cougars, and there was an overwhelming sense of anticipation for the upcoming awkward small- talk that | knew that | would be doing to fill the silent moments in conversation. Peg-Leg- Headed right for the bar and got a drink, so | would at least be able to look at, let alone talk to, the spineless brats from high school that never talked to me then, but always do now like they’re glad to see me or something. Munchkin- 1 drink, | had to drive, which made me feel more uncomfortable about the evening. This was the first time that | saw Peg-Leg all liquored up. Peg-Leg- Once the beer started flowing.......... the real fun of drunkin’ mingling began. Talking to jock frat boys and guys from high school that don’t seem to have grown up any in the past 4 years. Munchkin-...Frat boys...oh Peggy...most of them looked like they had sticks shoved way up their asses, especially when you brought up the stuff we're doing in school. You're mild intoxica- tion blinded you from the looks of "how do we get rid of these girls". Peg-Leg- Granted but you've got to agree that it was a little fun believing to be part of "that" crowd for just one night. Kind of like Cinderella but more twisted and tanked... with beer... Munchkin- Sure Peg...beer...for you, not me, don't forget | had to drive............. Adventures of Peg-Leg and Wiunchkin ADVENTURE #1: Trek to the Local Watering Hole SETTING: Local bar on White Rock strip-the OB. The place to go to see the popular high school folk (rich and white, after all this is White Rock). TIME: 4 years after graduation PRE-ADVENTURE: Peg-Leg and Munchkin get dolled up to fit into the local popular crowd. The hour of pain staking grooming and outfit changes was long and tortuous. But the result was a mirror image, well as good as could have been expected from limited attire, of those from high school who Peg-Leg and Munchkin could not relate to. Ya, Cinderella. My Prince Charming was one of those weasely boys from high school who had never noticed who | was before that night, and then was saying how | was his girlfriend as he wrapped his sleazy arm around my waist. Peg-Leg- Come on (burp!) You know you loved it (hick-up!) He sure did even though he was pissed and probably wouldn't have even remembered meeting you the next morning, let alone how many beers he had. But | could give a shit because in the passed 4 years they haven't changed and they're still stuck in the same hole as before. Munchkin- That's why | left early...no alcohol...the surreal atmosphere was too much, very strange. Peg-Leg- Hence the reason why | had all the beer as | did. To make the atmosphere softer looking and more inviting. And it’s not that it was- n't because it was with all those drunk people wanting to "get to know me". Munchkin- | did have fun; it’s funny watching drunk people when you're sober. Peg-Leg- Munch; it’s always fun watching drunk people...I bet it was watching me drunk?...I'm always bun when I'm drunk... (burp!) Munchkin- Ya Peg. You know how much beer you had? Things weren't soft anymore, things were just all hazy. Peg-Leg- Oh you know you had fun talking to the skaters they'd be more fun then anyone in that place (MY prince charming of White Rock). And it’s the only reason | go to that place. Munchkin- Ya...| suppose... but | had more fun watching you...you know a little slurring, stagger- ing...touchiness... hee, hee. | left, you know so you could get somewhere so you could have some REAL fun. (Munchkin goes home to warm bed.) Peg-Leg- Leaving me to let loose and have the fun | relly wanted. And not getting home until 4am... Munchkin- You know how many times I’ve heard that time change..... Peg-Leg- And looking back on the night as if it were a dream, that is until | smelt the beer and cigarette smoke in my hair (but no Prince Charming. ..well not yet!) Moral of the story: If you go out to a bar before you drink make sure that there isn’t anyone unde- sirable from your past who you know will definitely be there...if there are people like this who will be there then...go directly to the bar... DRINK...DRINK...DRINK... But don’t make an ass of yourself unless you're really pissed...Just ask Peg-Leg. ‘Til our next encounter, Munchkin and Peg-Leg Cy Mancakin i \ Kaylee
