It has been raining all day here. I don’t understand how it can be so perfect all week long and then suck on the weekend. Well, I do understand how, but I don’t like it much. I am planning on hiking up Namsan tomorrow, weather permitting. My contingency plan is to visit the Korean War Museum.
Last night I was bad. I have been scoping out some alternatives to Sweet Caroline’s. Nothing wrong with SC’s, its just a little too much same old, same old. I immediately reject any bar where women push drinks, which is probably half the bars in town. I found a couple of good places last night, and wound up playing pool with a guy named Stephan from Germany. I realized that it has been years since I shot pool. At least before I started wearing bifocals. I don’t know if it was the beer or my glasses, but I played horribly. Embarassing ass kicking over and over. The worse I played the more I drank and I of course kept playing worse.
Anyway, came home inebritated and I really hate ODing like that. Wound up on the floor in the bathroom hugging the toilet. It was not a pretty site.
So today I have just chilled for the most part. Ran a couple of errands and bought groceries. Watched TV and napped.
From now on my motto is: Everything in moderation. Really, I mean it.
Here is a better idea. Don’t go to bars except on odd occasions. You never use to go to bars. You sat at home and played Civ III or blogged. You filled up your entire evenings and weekends. Maybe we could play virtual scrabble or cards. Look in to it before you develop a habit that I simply will not tolerate when you return home. Sorry to sound so much like a wife, but I am the wife.

My pool playing is equally offensive whether drinking or not… 😉
John the golden rule is first get a hooker at the boar, then play pool, then get drunk, then pass out at home on the floor. Barfing and passing out in the toilet area goes against the Golden Rule. But then you are a Federal Employee, not a professional American Soldier.:grin:
I was drunk. Sorry I misspelled whore.
I am recovering. I just realized I spelled whore ok but misspelled bar.
Carol you better get over to Korea fast. Sounds like John is turning into a Rock.:grin:
John, last comment for the day. Sorry to mouth off so and dominate this post, but I bet I could whip your butt at CivIII, I have been playing it for years, and I am not civilized. I am from Chicago in Europe.
John also I am trying to draw more of your admirers to my Blog. Please correct the link which does not lead them to me… http://euroyank.blogspot.com/
I will do the same for you.
John the correct link to me is http://euroyank.blogspot.com/ … I will do the same for you.
Hey Euro, thanks for the tip on how to comport myself in a bar, especially after the butt chewing I got from the wife in the first comment. Besides not being a soldier, I am 49 years old and just not interested in the whoring part. In fact, I avoid all the bars that have drinky girls period. I just want to quaff a brew and chat with the other patrons. My getting wild days are a distant memory, and for that I am thankful (not that I won’t always cherish those memories).
Nice to meet another CIVIII plsyer. I’ve been playing since the days when it was just plain old Civilization. You must be damn good if you presume to think you could beat me! 😛 Actually, I have never played against another human, so I don’t know how I might stack up. I’ve learned to take advantage of the predictablilty of the AI.
I have your linked in my blogroll at the right address. I just checked again and it takes me right to you. Are you having problems?
For Carol and all others who may be concerned that I am developing some bad habits here, I did not mean to imply that ALL I do is go to bars. It is pretty much a once or twice on the weekend thing, and I do not drink to excess generally (twice since I’ve been here, and I think that should be plenty for the rest of the year at least). Sometimes I just want to be around other people, and that is my only motivation to visit a bar. Assuming I make some friends I would prefer other venues.
So don’t worry.
John … the link on the right always worked… the one in “posted comments” never did.
Thanks to your candidness on your blogsite we can all count the number of times you have gotten seriously trashed and we have a pretty good idea of how often you frequent the bars and look at pretty Korean women. You’ve always had a eye for the ladies.:) Euroyank shut up with the advice. Oh, and my man can beat you anytime at Civ. Bring it on!
John the golden rule is first get the hooker at the bar, then play pool, then get drunk, then pass out at home on the floor. Barfing and passing out in the toilet area goes against the Golden Rule. But then you are a Federal Employee, not a professional American Soldier. 😀
Carol I did correct my misspellings, and thanks, but I am a civilian and don’t take orders, but I just love it when you get RILED UP.
Euroyank you do have the uncanny ability to rile me. I am convinced that you sir are incorrigible!
Incorrigible I understand, but the Sir part sounds so impersonal
Ah, its a Southern thing. Being from Chicago Europe, you wouldn’t understand.:)
Carol- Most of my wives were Southern Belles. I understand so well. One of the reasons I fled to Europe. But they do know how to cook Southern Fried Chicken. Come to think about it, my last Southern wife called me SIR.
How many wives have you had???? However, many it is/was I am not surprised if you actually pay attention to your own advice.:)
