Beschwipst


So I went to a hole-in-the-wall - I ordered pint after pint after pint of lager, putting it on my credit card.

The patrons were raucous and the music was lively and if I could ever remember it, I think I had a good time even if my bank account did not.

Faith and Begorrah


So I went to an irish pub - I ordered a pint of Guinness and paid with cash.

Refreshing and delicious, the pint reminded me of myself - thick, dark and extremely bitter.

Twenty-Fourteen


So I went to a New Years Eve party - I drank classy cocktails all night and paid with my dignity.

Everyone kissed when the chime struck midnight, but I just sat there contemplating my resolutions - I resolved to be more reserved.

Sea Cows



So I went to a sushi restaurant - I ordered sashimi and paid using a credit card.

The plate has a bunch of raw fish and a piece of raw beef - gyuunotataki - I was surprised but probably not as surprised as the japanese fishermen who caught the cow.

Venti Darkness



So I went to Starbucks - I ordered a Venti Dark and paid using a gift card.

The music was seasonal, the staff cheerful, but the coffee was like my soul - a dark pool of burning misery and bitterness.
