Look At These Photographs. Every Time I Do It Makes It Makes Me Want To Punch You In The Neck And Harf

You want to know how to leave me temporarily speechless? (Answer marked with * below)

I was out at a bar on Sunday night with a couple of friends. It was late at night and I had already stopped drinking for awhile. I was waiting for the clock to hit 2am, so I knew we would have to leave. I am patient enough to stay until closing, but I don't get people's urge to stay out until 2am ...just to stay out until 2am (or more for the "where are we going to get breakfast afterwords?").

Was I frustrated? No, but I was just eager to get out of there and sleep. My mood is important for the words that were uttered to me at about 1am (*). My friend (who had been complaining about the music all night) said to me, "Oh god Casey. Nickelback is on. Hear that?"

Of course I heard it, but hearing is not what bothered me. I could sneak into the back room of the place and eat their music system, but it was a meathead bar ..and I would have had my spine ripped out by some dude who was only there to add to his spine collection. I just didn't mind hearing it. What I did mind was another guy who chimed in.

ANOTHER GUY: Yeah this song is great.
ME: What?
FRIEND: Yeah..Casey hates Nickelback
ME: Doesn't everyone? What?
ANOTHER GUY: (spouts off 4-5 songs by Nickelback) They have a lot of great songs man.
ME: Oh my. What? Wow.
ANOTHER GUY: (he actually felt the battle, got a bit frustrated and gave me the "fine. you tell me" look on his face and his shoulders slumped) Then he said:

* "Name a better band."
