I have had issues with it. I don't care. I have a few friends on a private page and I made a game. This is only for those on the page, so please, don't get involved...Names and numbers are blocked out for the purposes of this post anyway....

I
need some help. A bizarre idea that came to mind tonight, after work.
Give me a moment to set this up. I had a job tending bar for a loge at
the Youngstown State game tonight, and it was a pretty easy gig, except
it turns out the caterer was a few bodies short, and so I became the guy
to load the van, and unload the van, then rinse, repeat, afterward. I'm
tending bar for one loge, and ended up doing the work for 4 loges...And
it beat the living shit out of me, which has next to nothing to do with
why I'm sending this.
Anyway, I get through it, and go home for a
beer, and pour myself a big glass of rye with some Peychaud's and sit in
a hot bath. Which, also has next to nothing to do with this.
Anyway, my mind wandered to my upcoming trip to NOLA in a couple of
months, and my last trip, last year. We got off the plane, got to the
hotel, unloaded, and the four of us went out for a drink. We ended up at
a local Mexican place the kids had been to before. I went to the men's
room, then wandered by the bar to figure out what to drink.
I see
the beer taps, and ask the bartender for an Abita. (Drink locally when
you don't know.) Well, turns out that a name like "Abita" could be
pronounced a few ways, and whichever way I chose, probably was not
right....
I got a blank stare, and had to point to the tap. It got an eye roll and a laugh from the bartender.
Anyway, tonight, I'm laying in the bath, big drink in hand, thinking
back on this story, and got a rather silly idea...And, for the life of
me, couldn't remember which was the right way to say it, and which was
laughably silly.
So...you can participate, or not. And to whatever level you wish. I have two months.
The idea (silly as it is) is to have you call me. As the phone is
answered, with either me, or my girlfriend, at any time, day or night,
and you hear one of us say, "Hello?" You answer, "Abita". (in the proper
pronunciation, or not, if you want to fuck with us) and hang up. And do
it as often as you feel like it. If you get voice mail, just hang up.
I'm usually good around 1AM (Your time). But anytime you like, and ONLY
if you like.
And, as the phone #s
are going out to our bitterbudz, if any of you have the feeling that
you would like us to have the proper pronunciation of anything you feel
we may have issues with, go ahead.
Remember, this is coming from a drunk and tired idiot, who thinks this may be fun.
So...Blahhhh.
