OMG OMG.

Here it is.

We had fights Saturday night right right? They are in Akron, which is about an hour and ten away. But we found out its 21 and over only, so Ken and Nicole can't go. So I wasn't going to go.

Well the guy putting on the fight is the guy I do side work for. He calls, and pleads for me to be their, because he was flying up from Georgia to put on the fights.

So I got yahoo directions to this club in Akron. The yahoo directions were WRONG, WRONG WRONG. They had the wrong exit number.

So I took the exit, directions said continue 12 miles. I got lost in the damn GHETTO of Chagrin for about an hour and a half. I was so angry. At one point, four people came up to the car at the intersection, and harassed me for weed. For whatever reason ( an Acura in the ghetto? ) they INSISTED on it, and would go away.

So, I was pissed, I knew I had missed half the fights, but I had no idea how to get there, so I had to go home. And decided not to go. Now, I'm 1.5 hours late already.

Guy calls again asking where I am at.

So Okay. I got new directions from mapquest, which were RIGHT! WOOT!

So I drive an hour and some out to Akron AGAIN, and I get to this club some 2.5 hours late. Get this? This club is DRESS SHOES ONLY. What kind of fight event doesn't allow sneakers? I told the guy. I WORK for the promoter of this show, and I'm supposed to be here. I'm a member of Team Griffonrawl. Bouncers didn't give two - seriously, he just mock me. So the bouncer has headset, right? He says 'Let me ask the manager'. Says NOTHING, looks at me and says 'Guess what? He said no.'

So I stand in the lobby of this club for 45 more minutes until the promoter was walking through and saw me. They still had to argue to get me in. Guy says 'Hey I'm just doing my job'.

GUESS WHAT? Fights are over. Stayed at the club and downed two long islands. So its time to leave.

The group splits up and most leave the lobby. I was told to follow the silver SUV. THERES FIVE SILVER SUV!?

So I followed the wrong SUV. Got lost in Akron now. Drive around for over an hour lost in Akron...I was so hardcore lost. Plus Akron has four-lane roads, that are not interstates throughout the town? THEY ARE ONE WAY! I didn't know, I was driving down a FOUR lane road, the WRONG way, with jail breath. OMG. Did like two U-turns, OMG! And I didn't understand why everyone was flashing their lights! No wonder- you've got to be kidding. One way roads are the stupidest idea come to pass. Ever see the movie with Chevy chase, where they drive around the london square like 5 times and can't get out?

Across all the bridges and ramps, I see the exit to go home. But I don't know how to get there! I also saw and adult bar in the distance.

So I decided, WHICHEVER ONE FIRST that I find, is where I go. Home, bar, or the restaurant I was supposed to meet the others. Please lord, deliver me unto the titty bar. Where some young girl will pretend I'm funny, attractive, and worth listening to. I got 140 bucks in my pocket that could be yours. I found the exit first. Sigh.

So I get home about 3 am and out almost 2 tanks of gas. I got to see half a fight on a small TV in the lobby. The next day, got hell from the woman. She had a 'horrible' night dancing, and its all my fault because I canceled plans. OMG OMG

I no longer consider myself a smart guy. Heh.
 
Damn man that does suck.

LOL you sure do love your skin bars Ryoko, dontcha?;)
 
AHHHHHHHH! I know it's bad, but these stories always make me laugh. How the hell you always gettin yourself into this stuff?? But seriously, that does suck, I HATE the being lost feeling or being in an area you are extremely unfamiliar with. When we first moved here I got lost and was tryin to turn and get home and before I knew it I saw a sign that I was in a town I KNEW was 45 minutes away from where I wanted to be ARGH! And that was without 4 guys hasslin me for weed! All I can say is good job on a night well survived! HA HA.
oh oh yeah, we have a club that's dress shoes only. thing was though? Guys walkin in with dress shoes but the rattiest shirt and old jeans. whatwhat?
 
I'm not sure words can describe what you have experienced.

You can't even get any loving as consolation, since your girlfriend is pissed off at you too.

If I were you, I would go to some isolated open space and yell the F word as loud as I possibly could for as long as I could.
 
ROFL!!!!! That was one of the funnist things i have ever read LOL!!!! Btw couldn't you have taken the bouncer??
 
HAHAHAHAHHA! I'm sorry, I couldn't help but laugh when I clicked on the Posh link and saw that on the first page is a directions link. Things that would have been helpful YESTERDAY!
 
NICE, tara reid. although I heard she had her chest done and there was some pretty bad scarring left over. At least that's what they said when she accidentally dropped her top on the red carpet and didn't realize it until after photographers had gotten their photos.

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

  • Varine Varine:
    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

  • Varine Varine:
    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
