I was behind the bar and saw some pretty funny characters that were all sauced up on green beer and overpriced 'Irish' cocktails. There were two noteworthy highlights. I'll start with the good news...
There was a middle aged black couple that sat in a booth behind the bar and ordered dinner, but enjoyed a round of green/'Irish' Long Island ice-t's and green and orange jello shots before any food arrived. Soon after I served them their food, the guy asked for another round of Long Islands and jello shots. He said something along the lines of, "I like those jello shots because I like the soft things on my tongue" as he looked across the table at his date. Both her and I were blown away by the creepiness, but we awkwardly laughed it off. After they were done eating, he ordered another round of drinks and shots! As I'm sure you know, Long Island's are a lot of booze and they were going on their 3rd round plus accompanying shots. When I dropped the drinks at the table, the lady said to me, "why are you always giving me the jello shots with the orange on top?". I hadn't even noticed before, but half of the jello shots were all green and the other half were green and orange. Apparently I had given her the green and orange 3 times in a row and him the solely green 3 times in a row! "Because that's where all the sex drugs are" he interjected! HAHAHA! I was like, WHat?!? He said, "Yeah, the orange part is where all the sex drugs are, so we're in for a good night" or something like that. She did a "Oh no you didn't", and said "keep talking, I'm just closing up the more you talk. You think you're getting some action tonight?? ha!- It's becoming like a master lock right now. CLINK!" (she even did the sound effect as she pretended to put on a chastity belt!). The dude looks at me and goes, "Yeah, but I know the combination ;) " HAHAHAHAHA!!! I was dying laughing.
The second highlight doesn't have nearly as happy of an ending. Another couple was sitting at the bar and were getting pretty drunk. She was around mid-30's and pretty cute and he was around mid-40's and balding. I didn't take much notice of them until later in the night when I saw HER get off her barstool and bend down on one knee! Mind you, this couple was Drunk. Over the crowd and music, I couldn't exactly hear what she said, but it was clear that she was proposing right there along the side of the Fingers and Wings bar on St. Patty's day! HAHA! And he was motioning like "no, not know, I don't want to talk about this now..". Basically, "no"! Holy shit, did that just happen?!? Did she just propose and get rejected?!? So he gets up and goes to the jukebox, and she puts her fists on the bar and says, ".... I need a shot.". Awwwwkward. I said, "umm.. yeah, what can I get you :s" The couple ended up getting a ride home from one of the cooks and he said she was hitting on him the whole ride!
Quite a fun night, although I wish I was able to enjoy a few more car bombs with the patrons :)
Happy (belated) St. Patty's Day!!!
