Boulevard of Broken Schemes
Dec 28^th, 2024 at 10:38pm

On this boulevard of broken dreams
The hustlers come to sell their schemes
And the broken people come to buy.

** Rocky hustles across to the piano player/singer** ...

"Could you maybe sing something a little lighter? These guys don't come here because they're happy... and .. you know.. that song..."

"Oh... OK.... I was just... you understand ... giving out a little social thinking... Billy Joel got away with a lot of that..."

"*whispers* You ain't Billy Joel.... go for something a bit lighter..."

"OK .... lemme see now...."

"Got a call from an old fiend,
Used to be real close...
Said he couldn't go on
The Sa-tanic Way...
Sold the soul, sold the imps,
Bought a ticket to the heavenly place ...
Now he gives 'em a stand-up routine at the gate....."

Kinda cool in here?? The usual crowd hustled out this time?

Must be the new management.... maybe a happy hour or something... Monk is obviously peeved about Fringe going to Skanka.... not much of a crowd there either... but the bitchery!!

Pint of Guinness, Rocky - and a whiskey chaser - IRISH - the only whiskey... jeez ... with the price of beer going up we'd better drink fast....

Mean bass..

... it's Friday Night and it's my time to howl.... coming up on Roughneck Radio... the Radio not on the bay but twelve miles offshore in a decrepit old fishing trawler... and now to give myself plenty of time to mix a drink or two .... here we go with Roughnecks #1 ...... I tried to forget you but I found myself walking the street ....

I PMd members to get them to stop Blight being elected as Mod of Fringe. I have stated all this before. Not a single GMod has contradicted me.
