Everything in Moderation...

I'll take giant killer energy drinks, a dancing Santa, and the Bud Light Lime Ninja for 300 please. That was my weekend (minus the killer part, although if that thing fell, it definitely would have fucked shit up). Anyway, Thursday was our official patio party, sponsored by Effect energy drink. It was a sick turnout, that I'm sure had everything to do with the 3 story tall can of Effect! Needless to say, 2.50 import beers and world famous Caesars are a cause for celebration. A few days prior, we built a brand new bar outside on the patio and that thing killed it Thursday night. I didn't think I was gonna work, so instead I threw back a few of my favourite beverages and began to mingle. At the end of the night, I was feeling it and I had some apologies to make the next day. It happens right? No harm no foul.

Friday night was pretty slow, so I decided to go see what else was going on downtown. Me and our trusted MC went for a walk and encountered a shirtless dancing Santa in the middle of Ouellette construction. It wasn't the strangest thing I had ever seen, but It was pretty good. This guy was lovin' life, dancing there on some random water pipes. Vest unbuttoned, Santa hat standing tall, this guys was busting a move to some MJ... Oh Windsor, you may be turning into a cespool, but you certainly spawn some entertaining individuals.

I have to take a moment and apologize to someone... Random old man, Im sorry I did not have any Bud Light Lime to sell you. I don't mean to play the blame game, but the beer store really did not have any. I am truly sorry for ruining your Saturday evening. Anyway, a lot of places are out of Bud Lime right now because the brewery just can't keep up with the demand. So, this guy comes up to the bar, asks if we have any, I say no, and before myself or anyone around me knows it, this guy just b lines it to the exit and peaces out. I'm still looking around going 'what the fuck'? There was no second choice, no 'ok thanks anyway', just 'fuck this, im out'. A couple of my favourite patrons were sitting at the bar and reacted the same way, thinking 'wow that guy really took that personally'. This guy took off just as fast as he appeared. This man was the Bud Light Lime Ninja.

That was my weekend so far, we still have to conquer tonight, so it is entirely possible I have another story for you tomorrow. This wasn't the longest blog, but I'm a busy guy, gimme a break will ya.

So my friends, I leave you with this. "Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don’t drink too much. Then again, don’t drink too little." - Hermann (Jackrabbit) Smith-Johannson, a 103-year-old cross-country skier.

Rule #8. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails.

Peace!
