Shang Hi on the down low at the Yacht Club

[jack_babalon]

Well yesterday I went to see my Kollective Komrades do a Puppet show over at the EAYC after work. "Cap'n Slappy's maritime mayhem" or something like that. I got there at 5:30 and started lubricating the old social skills ala' that distinguished southern gentleman Mr.Daniels. Good thing too 'cause I got picked "Randomly" by the shows manager, a Mexican wrestler by the name of "King Falcone". Apparently the good Cap'n Slappy was AWOL on ship leave or something so I got called up there with other audience members to try out for the job of the new Captain. Well one thing leads to another and with eye patch and Pirate hat I was sent outside the Yacht Club, across the street to dance a "Jig" outside "Accapella's" with the tip jar and told not to come back until I made some $.I was given a man on accordion to accompany my little dance. Luckily father Neptune took pity on an old squid and several pedestrians dropped change and singles into the tip jar. Kinda sad when I think of all the actually needy people begging for change and here I am dancing away like a fool raking in the bucks. Maybe it's the eye patch and hat or the "Pirates/Caribbean" thing still in everybody's head. What the hell though, I made a few bucks but I did'nt get the role of new Cap'n. Well that's life on the 7 seas I guess. Spent the rest of the night at the club w/the cast drowning our sorrows and telling tales of where they'll fly their Jolly Roger next.
Just remember this boys and girls: Mix Puppets & alcohol at your own cost.
Hung over and out.
