"Don't Leave Me Here"

The implementation of a new computer system at my work has increased the desire to drink lately. Nick and I were invited to join a few co-workers for drinks on Fat Tuesday to help them cope with the stress of the day. They decided to go to a local dive bar across the highway from out house in Dundee....

Lumpy's is not the type of place my co-workers are used to. We met them there and two of them had ordered drinks. The look of fear said it all...It was their first time at a 'dive bar'. They were talking about how hungry they were but had no idea how to get food. Since these types of places are the kind of bars Nick and I frequent when we go home, we went to the bar got them menus and told them the ways of the dive bar.

The people watching was prime...After a trip to the bathroom Brian came out with a look of disgust on his face. Apparently a man had "Burped and Spit in there!"
"It's a BATHROOM!" Nick replied.

We informed Javier that playing Beyonce would get him shanked, and talked about the pool sharks at the pool tables. We ate traditional bar food and they finished their beers.

After dinner we got up to pay and Ashley whispers..."Don't leave me here." Nick and I had a pretty good laugh. All in all it was a successful Fat Tuesday and first dive bar experience.
