The 5 steps to bartending. I think this song is Italian, but I am unsure. Yes, I know the text is English. Smartass.
And here's a really good example of what not to do when you're tending bar. You're not in Cirque du Soleil, dammit; I only asked for a Jack Manhattan!
Such as Japan. My friend over at JapanProbe has launched a new blog, and indeed for this contribution to travelling "comfort" his place in heaven is assured.
It's a love hotel info blog.
Rabuho.com : A Love Hotel information Blog!
Ever wanted to find out where a good love hotel was, but lacked the ability to navigate Japanese language love hotel sites? I remember the days when my Japanese was still at a beginner level and I had to struggle to locate “after date” locations to take girls. It was truly difficult to find a good love hotel in those days.
Well, those days are now over, and I’ve decided to launch rabuho.com, a blog devoted to providing the English-speaking population of Japan and tourists with love hotel info. At the moment there are only a few hotels listed on the site, mostly in the Kanto region. However, I plan to update it regularly, eventually creating an extremely useful resource for “socially active” gaijin. Please check it out!
Blogroll accordingly. Me, I've decided I'm never having sex again, so why would I bother?

Bio: Al Mader is a vocalist and washtub bassist for the (one-man) Minimalist Jug Band, and has scuffed around the country for many years.
If Lou Reed passed out on the grave of Johnny Cash and dreamt of Jack Kerouac the soundtrack to his dream might sound vaguely like Al.
He’s shared stages with the likes of Nick Cave, They Might Be Giants and The Cowboy Junkies.T Paul says he started Thundering Word Heard with the idea that he wanted to create a place where both music and spoken word could come together and be given a place that was their own. And he has done just that. After three years the room is still full every Sunday night even on a long weekend. It takes a lot of time, commitment and a big heart to keep putting on something like this every single week. But it has paid off. Thundering Word continues to be a great success and T Paul’s reputation as a host and organizer continues to grow as well. “ I have my hands in a million and one things that all seem to have the center in that hub Thundering Word Heard.”
The fact that they print jokes like these, secure in the knowledge that at least some of their readers will get all of the punchlines.
El Greco walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Why the long face?"Christo walks into a bar and starts draping everything in orange silk.
The bartender says, "Hey man, there's a ten dollar cover charge!"Picasso walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Why so blue?"Henry Moore walks into a bar and asks for a drink.
The bartender says, "You need a drink like you need a hole in the head."Thomas Eakins walks into a bar carrying an oar.
The bartender says, "Are you out of your skull?"Toulouse Lautrec walks into a bar and asks for a drink. When he gets it he asks the bartender, "Can I pay you tomorrow? I'm a little short."
Or period of unemployment. You know, tanning always bores me senseless; I suddenly discover that I have a need to pee every 15 minutes, my book is dull (the same book that is fascinating indoors) and there are all these tiny little critters with far too many legs outdoors. Perhaps I should start my day with one of these fine drinking games instead of my usual coffee and oatmeal; it would at least keep me occupied, and might keep me motionless after a time. Beer has oats in it, right? And whiskey has rye. Excellent!
Anyway, here is a roundup of drinking games, courtesy of that beacon of responsibility in hive mind, Wikipedia. One notes, with regret, one does, that they do not list my own family's contribution to the sport: The Grinch Drinking Game.
The Grinch Drinking Game is quite simple. Watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and take a drink every time they say "Hoo." Since they say it eighteen times in the theme song and they sing the theme song three times in the show, no-one has ever made it all the way through or if they did they do not remember.
We assume no liability. Or intelligence.
