Karaoke Kraziness
Lamest. Post-Title. Ever.
I know, I know. I'm sorry. But I just needed to comment quickly before I get to work. I just got back from one of the most interesting karaoke experiences of my young adult life. It seemed as though everyone singing at this bar was capital-G GOOD. Like- Duets good. Where it was as though everyone had practiced WAY too hard.
Case in point, three friends drag this lady to the stage, the last thing she wants to do is sing, right? She proceeds to knock Patsy Cline's Crazy straight out of the ballpark. Normally, a song as sacred as that shouldn't be even remotely touched by a karaokier, right? I'll tell you what, it was amazing.
In fact, the only people that weren't good all night was the birthday boy, "Shannon," who decided that he had to sing Sweet Caroline, poorly...TWICE. He actually bookened my hour-plus there. Which, in honesty, is funny in it's own entirely ridiculously ironic way. It was a night full of musical randomosity.
So, since the Kingdom's currently on life-support, due to my amazingly busy existence, I ask the handfull of you still out there (also: Lauren from Baltymore-- I need your IM name again) to chime in and relay your weirdest, strangest, funniest, or most amazing karaoke-related experience. Good stories are always goodness.
Oh yeah, the Patsy Cline lady was actually upstaged. Right after a guy in a cowboy hat, who sounded remarkably like Toby Keith dominated Whiskey Girl, this other dude came up, sang his way through some country song I didn't know, then BUSTED OUT A HARMONICA and played the bridge. Amazing.
I love karaoke.
But Duets is still a shitty movie, "Cruisin'" not-withstanding.

You've never seen karaoke done the right way until you've been witness to my rendition of "The Humpty Dance". People REQUEST it!!!

Gramps and I did a little duet at the Depot one night. And for the record, he kept the duet together on that night, this bitch couldn't keep up. What can I say, when you start playing Beirut right after classes end on Friday these things happen. How did we pull this shit off so well?

Whoever gave Miles the address to this site is no longer my friend!
I keed, Mills! Welcome to the Kingdom!
Everyone-- thanks for posting up/putting up with my lack of writing while I go through this crazy-little thing they call the Worst Summer Ever.
In truth, it's not been too bad.
FUN FACT! The Pirates beat Matt Morris for the first time since we were in Tahoe, tonight!
There's a good chance that means something in the galactic scheme of things-- if you figure out what, lemme know.
