There's intrigue afoot on this St. Paddy's day ...

I cheat on this thread and then lie about how often.

This thread is like a morality test and we're all acing it. Onwards to Hell. The decor's not great, but the company's good.

The thread has 5k posts and 56k views. So there are quite a few cheaters.

I am absolutely acing it! I admitted that I don't do it so that means I have high moral standards! Right? Right?

I'm sure it's just a glitch. Failed update. Crossed wires. Something.

When you're in Heaven, send down a drinks order and we'll see what we can do.

Oh sweetie, I'd love to - but I am also a realist. I'm not going to Heaven.

Completely unrelated - Can I interest you in a Fireball?

Onwards to Hell. The decor's not great, but the company's good.

One of my standard interview questions was "What does your personal restaurant hell look like?" Mine would be polishing wine glasses and snapping the stem into the palm of of my hand for all eternity. And if you ever want to check and a candidates street cred when they pimp their wine knowledge, ask to see the crescent scars on their palm.

Quoting is cheating on this thread.

IKEA, TK MAXX and PENNY'S feature highly in my vision of Hell. Thankfully, my experience of the hospitality industry has been brief, though it usually brought me to the toilets. For a while before graduating, I dreamt sweetly of what it might be like to have a job that didn't involve cleaning toilets.

I would blissfully clean toilets all day so long as it didn't involve dealing with the public, building companies, and managing hundreds of people. Pay me just enough to keep me from crying in the mop closet and I can start this afternoon!

For Trish, but not beckoning you with @ nor quote.

I know, right? But my fate is already sealed.

For Rigor -

Mine too, man. Mine too.

You've been dealing with the wrong public. Stick to the criminals, they won't let you down. The rest, no argument from me.

Used to be my most reliable clientele: lots of cash and no self control.

As one of my brothers (the funny one) will most likely say today, Happy Holy St Patrick's Day day to everyone.

I give you my favorite Irish toast: "May you be in Heaven a half an hour before the Divil knows yer dead."

 

[JLT]

yeah! My favourite song by them is actually Lovers in a Dangerous Time. Filmed in Scarborough, Ontario

A great song. But my favorite is one that sold my wife on BNL: "If I Had A Million Dollars"

I mentioned the Grateful Dead, and am somewhat perplexed by the fact that so many people still aren't aware of their existence. A friend of mine in Australia visited me, and I put a CD of their work into the car stereo. He was flabbergasted, and insisted that I play it again and again. "These blokes can do it all," he said.

 

[CatrionaGrace]

I saw the Dead play at Red Rocks in Colorado. They played their set, left for a few moments, then returned to play the entire rest of the afternoon. I'll bet the music lasted six hours or more. Another intro concert courtesy of the guy I eventually married.

Restaurant Hell: my version is too awful to contemplate, much less share. I will spare you all. You're welcome.

Between BNL "One Week" and Blues Travelers "Hook" too much of my brain space has been reserved for lyrics I can't get rid of.
