Barbecue and the Martial Arts.
After a perfectly lovely cocktail hour with friends at the frottage-heavy Matchbox, we staggered over to Bone Daddy for what we hoped would be an interesting evening of brisket and a movie.
oh my, were we wrong.
This past Thursday night at the Bone Daddy showcased "Exposure" = a special blend of Music, Motorcycle Videos, and Martial Arts Demonstrations. no. seriously.
As we noshed on barbecue brisket (succulent, sweet, delish!) and considered the suckling pig (difficult to resist a good suckling, now and again), we were subjected to deafening dance mixes (the DJ wore his yellow and black motorcycle jacket the entire time we were there - I was waiting for him to put on the matching helmet, which was propped proudly on top of one of the speakers).
If that weren't enough, we were treated to martial arts demonstrations - consisting of mullet-wearing fortysomethings from the burbs slowly unsheathing and brandishing swords, then re-sheathing and bowing to invisible assailants. . . I must admit, I think this would have been more impressive if we weren't also watching videos of various state motorcycle 'crues' (umlaut implied) burn rubber on the screen behind them.
and more impressive still if they didn't have mullets.
but I suppose that's expecting too much from a barbecue joint.
thank god for having a date who can appreciate the absurdity of it all and yet still be mortified (rather than perversely pleased) when I threaten to ask the DJ to join us for dessert...
and to run home with me in the freezing cold of the chicago summer, squealing right with me the whole time. yip!

Probably I'm just stupid, but I totally don't get it. What did happen to you and SourBob?

that's so funny. I re-read that post and realized how it could be misinterpreted.
the heartache I'm nursing is still the old heartache...the lost love from last year.
yes, I'm unhinged enough to still need distraction from that relationship.
I can see why you thought it was about bob, tho. heh.
