[Steve Berry ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 08 Jun 2005 08:48:58 -0400 From: "Paul Russell" Subject: MM: NPG, new generator ******NPG****** Okay so I'm drinking at this bar. It's "mug night" and so it's packed with people gettin $1 drafts, $2 imported and everything is normal. All of a sudden there's this girl voice behind me getting the bartender's attention. And she orders a Guinness. oooooh. Be still my heart. Unfortunately, I'm not. However, there is a reason to my madness. Okay, so the mug night is that you use their mugs, which are plastic. Plastic is not kind to building a good Guinness. It's downright nasters actually. So, upon hearing this girl order a Guinness, I thought it best to depart some goodwill advice. I turn around and it's this stunning redhead. Not Patty, but stunning enough. So I tell her that she might want to reconsider and drink the Bass instead because it's in plastic mugs. She replies that "if this place has Guinness, then why drink anything else?" I didn't have an answer for that being still stunned and falling in love more and more by the second. I just said "true" and left it at that. Besides, I felt like a poser sitting there drinking something else and trying to talk to her about Guinness. The Guinness comes and it's like a sad state. And she looks at it with disdain, takes a drink. She talks to her friends and says that these bartenders must be on drugs for pouring her such a lousy pint. I just turned around and said "it's the plastic. I told you." And here's where we get to the part that I get stars in my eyes and faint. She gives it back to the bartender and asks if she could have another beer instead of that. She chose Bud light which wouldn't have been on my list, but she really showed how much she cared about Guinness. It's like a child to me. My problem was I didn't have a good pickup line. I found one the next day, but oh so late. The very next freaking day I find the best pick-up line for situations such as this. So, let me depart some wisdom if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. Next time that happens I'm going to say "hey, do you work for UPS, because I've got a package for you." Then she'll swoon into my arms. Yup. That even beats my old "Is your father a thief because someone stole all the stars in the sky and put them in your eyes." And that one has gotten me a hug and a laugh. Things could only be better for the UPS package one. Back to your usual Patty Griffin heaven.

Well, here are a few of the records I consider to be perfect: Lucinda Williams -- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road The Band -- Music from Big Pink Joni Mitchell - Hejira Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde Jim Hall - Concierto Sam Phillips - Martinis & Bikinis Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girl Rodney Crowell - Houston Kid That's off the top of my head. - -- SteveB ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Jun 2005 15:15:52 -0400 From: "Paul Russell" Subject: Re: MM: NPG, new generator Geneen, Never tried the "U and I together" one but now it's on. I'll see how that one works too. I like a good challenge. Oh, the "Do you have a quarter? Because I told my mom I'd call her when I met the girl of my dreams" is a definite keeper. Except now the phones here take more than 25" so I had to move on to the "thief" one. Or maybe it's still good, because not only would I be using the line, but also implying that I'd be calling my own mom collect because the call would cost more. Which would make it even better. hmmmm. Something to contemplate.
