Friday Night's Escapades

On Friday, Tim M. came up to watch the draft. Several of the fellas decided to get together and head to Culpepper's to watch the NFL draft and drink drafts... After the draft was over, they all headed to Rob Porter's favorite bar; the Hook and Ladder on Highway M (North of 70 Highway K). While they don't have a website, here is the Metromix review:

To start the evening off, we order several buckets of assorted AB products at $12 apiece during the Cardinal game (normally $15). The evening as usual, got hopping as the karaoke DJ opened things up to everyone about 10:30. To start the evening off, Kevin did a Smashing Pumpkins song, "Disarm." It went downhill from there. I soon sang "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang. (This is the "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel" song. Classy. Everyone say "getting horny now."

The majority of the Karaoke songlist is in the player so if you have little ones nearby, you may want to avoid the Bloodhound Gang song and definitely the Sandler song that Owens nailed: "A Medium Pace." He hit every note and rocked the house with that one. The best was when the bartender (a nice 50 or so year old named Patty) stared at him with her mouth open after he sang the "pull the shampoo bottle out of my ass" line. It was truly hilarious and probably the best karaoke song I've heard.

Here was the complete lineup:

Kevin: Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm"
Black Crowes "Remedy"
Simon and Garfunkel "Homeward Bound"

Owens: Adam Sandler "At a Medium Pace"

Slim: Lit "My Own Worst Enemy"
Sinatra "New York, New York"
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy "You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three"

Rob: Ram Jam "Black Betty"
Rick Springfield "Jessie's Girl"

Me The Bloodhound Gang "The Bad Touch"
Tom T Hall "I Like Beer"

Slim and Me (Duet) Toto "Rosanna" in honor of the Vegas lounge act at the Excalibur a few years back. We heard Rosanna at least 20 times in one weekend by the same band in the same lounge in Vegas. I have nightmares about that song.

Everyone should see the fellas karaoke at some time in their life. It is a spectacle.

IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE: It was decided that on the day of the USA/ England game, we are going to head to a St. Charles bar at about 6 AM to pre-party. Can't remember the name of it. I'll add that in a little bit. June 12th. Everyone block out that day on your calender and plan on meeting us for the game.
