Don't make me dig up my match.com story. I'll do it.

I worked at a legendary bar in Seattle. The staff was thoroughly tribal. Incredible group of people - while most people formed relationships in college, mine were with a bunch of meth-addicted bartenders and musicians. Good people; most of them aren't even dead.

Anyway. One of the pastimes this crew would had was to get on the Jerry Springer show. No less than eight of them had been on it. They traded tips. It was almost a rite of passage. And just like pro wrestling, everybody involved knew it was fake.

As I recall, this account was written by rival bar staff. Amateurs. ;-)

You may have taken out my first roommate Lynne. Funny stuff kb.

Sometime you'll have to get around to telling the tale of the other two you took out.

Holy shit I just laughed a lot. "Are you having an affair with an animal?" the recording asked. "Press one now.

some of them aren't even dead. -That shouldn't be as funny as it was.
