sports bar

Where everyone knows your name

So yeah, doing the family vacation thing. Mother in-law brought us to an “incredible new restaurant” that turned out to be a newer chain of sports bars. I counted at least 33 flat screen TV’s with assorted sports programs on, one of them was playing Fuel, so that means I got to watch skateboarding in a sports bar. It was an episode of Driven, and there was hardly any skateboarding in it. For some reason there was a big production about a kid giving Vallely a bracelet of sorts. Not very manly behavior for a sports bar. I swear I heard some snickering. Maybe the kid had a terminal disease, it’s hard to tell because there was no sound. Looks like they gave him a Jeep, though. So yeah, manly sports bars and skateboarding. Alright.

  • A laser can also be used fill up a house full of popcorn as seen in the cinematic masterpiece “Real Genius”.

  • It doesn’t matter. Mike V is the Ultimate Warrior of skateboarding: Good in his day, loud and a bore, jock mentality. Go run through a graveyard fuckface. We used to like you. Mike V and the Rats and Revolution Mother are GAY.

  • Lasers too? I knew she could block bullets but lasers… How did that show ever get cancelled. Actually, A simple mirror could deflect a laser, so I guess it’s not a big deal.

  • Wonder Woman’s bracelets can deflect bullets and lasers.

  • The show is called “Drive” not “Driven”.

    Also, the bracelet, is one of the things that saved his life while being does electrocuted and he is telling Mike the story. Read about the acctdent here:

    “And what can I get for you, little porch monkey? Oh, it’s okay, I’m taking it back.”

  • What do you mean open mind? Everytime I go into a sports bar, everyone is calling each other fag or dude. Seriously, noone cares who you choose to have consensual sex with but if the homosexual community can co-opt the word gay I’m going to feel free to assign whatever meaning I want to the word fag. No double standards alright?

    at a sports bar everyone’s name is lifeless loser douche. we all know those guys, the former frat-tard hoping the waitress who’s half his age will smile at him while he entertains the vain hope that she may find the middle aged, fat, balding, drunkard look to be attractive. failing that he’ll sit and wait for any opportunity to drop in his make/model of jock-ass SUV or sports car in a final futile attempt to impress said youngster. need a visual aid..go to any Hooters. its sad and depressing, and also infinitely funny.
    im way open to new titles for people who hang out in sports bars. and totally free to think up those names, no matter how un-clever they may be.

  • how about getting drunk while watching skate vids? then smoking dope while watching football with punk rock soundtracks?

  • houseofneil

    oh good god. Some free thinking and open minds please?

  • At a sports bar, everybody’s name is Fag.

  • enemy combatant

    What’s so manly about getting drunk in front of a TV while watching football? It’s about as manly as smoking dope and watching skate vids with punk rock sound tracks. That is, not much.
