Caritas - Thursday evening [Open]

Tino challenged Ben to a drinking contest tonight. Ben was winning easily because, as it turned out, Tino had forgotten to make it clear that it was an alcoholic drinking contest. When Ben pointed out that implications weren't rules, Tino continued drinking tequila to drown his failure. Ben, meanwhile, kept drinking water.

[OOC: Tino's drunk tonight but can still be modded if you would like to do that. But there's no need to! I am around!]

Laaaaaaaaaaaa.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Tully observed Tino's state and said dryly to Ben; "You know I'm worried that this job is getting to that guy."

"Oh, no, he's just not as good at challenges as he thinks he is. Really, it's the fine details that get him," Ben said. "What can I get for you?"

"How about a Fosters, just cause the commercials used to crack me up."

"What was so funny about them?" Ben asked as he started pooring the beer. He didn't think he had ever actually seen them.

"They made fun of stereotypes Americans have about Australians. Actually the bad Australian accent of the spokesman was the funniest part."

Once Ben was done pouring the drink ~~wtf with the spelling, self?~~, he brought it over. So was every commercial about boomerangs or something? That's the main stereotype that comes to mind for me."

Mainly because he'd fought a guy named Boomerang a few times, of course.

"There was one. The way they went was, the guy would say 'how to speak Australian'. The boomerang one had these two guys in a bar watching TV. One of them throws a boomerang at the one near the set, and the guy changes the channel. Then the spokesman says 'Remote Control'."

If it was Boomerang who threw that, the TV would explode.

"Well, that's just silly. Everyone knows that Australians have trained kangaroos to change the channel."

"See I'd have figured koalas. Kangaroos seemed more like a home defense system."

Vince sat down at the bar. "Can I have a Redheaded Slut, please?"

"Are you asking for a drink or a lady, because we don't have the second one here at the moment," Ben said.

Tino, for his part, was already getting the Schnapps.

"The drink," Vince said. "I'd hardly call any lady a slut. That would just be rude."

"Good man," Ben said as Tino brought the drink over. "And I guess the answer to your question is 'yes.' That was a lot faster than I was expecting."

"Well, that's because Tino here's a genius," Vince said, raising his drink in a toast. "Cheers, mate."

"He's the Picasso of mixed drinks, definitely," Ben said. "Especially if Picasso was drunk one night. And if he still had both ears."

"It's a good thing he was a painter and not a musician. Could you imagine, a musician with only one ear? That'd be terrible," Vince said.

"Beethoven was deaf," Ben pointed out. "He's the only musician with really bad hearing that I can think of, though. So I guess it is actually pretty rare."

"Well, he didn't start out deaf," Vince said. "And really, his genius was so great it practically drove him deaf. Like... he was so good at it, the gods decided he was ruining it for the rest of us. I mean, I half live in fear I'll wake up some morning and be missing half my face, because I'm too pretty."

"By that thinking, I should fear for my hands," Ben said. "I'm really good at that Throwing the Drink Mixer thing that they do in movies. It would be a shame to lose the ability to do that."

"That would be a crime," Vince said. "You do have very nice hands."

"The strange thing is, I haven't washed my hands in three days," Ben joked.

Tino did a spit take.

"That was a joke, Tino. And you poured your own drink."

Ben just gave Vince a shrug.

Vince laughed. "Spit take! That's always hilarious. Would have been even better if it'd come out his nose."

He grinned at Ben. "You're a really upstanding guy. I like that."

"I try to be," Ben said, handing Tino a towel to clean himself up with. "I think it's important when you're bartending. It's much better than being down-laying. Or whatever the punny opposite of upstanding would be."

"Plus, really hard to serve drinks if you're lying down," Vince said.

"And Tino would probably step on me," Ben said. "It's just a bad idea."

Vince nodded in agreement. "Always best to avoid being stepped on. Shoeprints are awfully hard to get out in the wash."

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

LAAAAAAAA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

That's my version of the theme to 2001.
