WAR ROOM LOUNGE V15: Lunge

[Limbo Pete]

Whatchu guys talk about in here

Various odds and ends, like gently imbibing @Imbrued Esculence's ministrations on nexus absorption, or calling out @waiguoren for being a smarmy sophist

 

[irish_thug]

You see a lot of tactless tourists out here. I legit heard someone say "I liked seeing the 9th ward I just wanted it to be worse"

Cool bruh. A lot of those people are still dealing with the emotional and financial damage from Katrina.

I almost encouraged him to wander into an area I knew he would get mugged but I'm not that bad of a person lol.

Precisely why the wife and I do not want to go there during mardi gras.

 

[irish_thug]

No but on my day off I ride my bike around with a box of fried chicken and a beer (you can legally drink anywhere here)
So I'm just riding around while eating fried chicken, smoking a joint, and drinkin a tallboy

And the people that work at the famous Gumbo Shop bring me free seafood gumbo all the time.

Also if you want to know how fucking garbage the roads are check out this "pothole" I fell into after a night of drinking.

It rained and a few days later lil fella grew up.

Potholes so bad they pylons for breakfast.

 

[waiguoren]

smarmy

nice word, good fellow.

 

[Limbo Pete]

nice word, good fellow.

Its not bad if you avoid Canal and the Quarter. The St Charles parade line is nice and actually family friendly.

Potholes so bad they pylons for breakfast.

Potholes down here turning pylons from boys to men ya heard me?

In other news I had to call the fucking rangers on a crackhead on the ground screaming about shooting people, I opened the store for the ladies and kept an eye on them and calmed the tourists in the shop down because they were obviously terrified (I'm used to it. I'll whack a head of a crackhead if I have to IDGAF)

Fucking rangers show up late, shrug their shoulders and march off. Same fucking crackhead walks by my shop, I point to him and make eye contact with a Ranger. Bitch just shrugs her shoulders and walks off.

Hour later cops just stroll past him. If the cop who stops in to check on me (best NOPD officer I've met. Good dude) I'm lodging a complaint.

Dude is wearing his hospital gown from the last time they took him to the psych ward.

/rant.

 

[Gregolian]

I see that shit all the time as a door guy @AgonyandIrony ... while I like my local cops as they're generally good people the whole department suffers from a case of "laziness" and not wanting to do paperwork.

Legit had some dude from Cuba ranting at me about something then threatening to get a knife and kill a couple of my customers at the end of the night (to be fair, the customers had told him to "get the fuck out of our way you homeless fuck" when they left the bar) and cops drove by and did shit and could clearly hear him ranting.

Fast forward to Tuesday and dude is on my first appearance list after being arrested for threatening to slice the throats of patrons at a restaurant in Blaine and Border Patrol arrested him.

You'll see cops here watch people brawl, what city are you in again? Here NOPD is so stretched thin they hire anyone. The cars are dented up, seats torn up. This one fat cop sits in our main storefront when he's tired and straight up said "I wish we could just bus them all out and lock the doors and let them die"

Or you know... You could do your job dude. Same cop saw this guy threatening to kill someone the other day and just kept saying "move along Curly".

Remember that mass shooting I posted about? They haven't caught shit, there's three people running up in houses in Uptown robbing and carjacking right now. They've hit like five houses and not shit has been done.

It's wild how lazy some cops are in bad cities, and I've been to other cities where there's no crime and the cops prowl the streets like sharks ready to be complete assholes looking for any opportunity to ticket or arrest someone.

Man I'm in a bad mood lol. Ready to hit the tiki bar after work.

Southern Decadence is this weekend and I enjoyed making a hick group of tourists upset by telling them it's the of the rowdiest gay pride parades in the country

Customers would have deserved it imo

I'm about 2 hours north of Seattle so I'm stuck in a college town which just adds to the goofiness of how cops run shit here.

So, we have:
- Local cops
- Sheriffs
- Campus police
- Border Patrol
- Homeland Security
- Tribal police

ALL of them driving around town on Friday and Saturday nights to try and patrol the bar area of town but it also creates a jurisdictional nightmare.

Customers would have deserved it imo

They deserved a good ass kicking cause one of them got in my face about taking a puff off my cigar and wouldn't leave until I told him I'd fuck his face up so bad even his mother wouldn't recognize him.

Problem is, Cuba as everyone calls the transient guy, is so loony he probably doesn't even own a knife and was outnumbered 3 to 1 and would have gotten his shit stomped in.

EDIT:
@Trotsky and @alanb might have more input on this but I was joking with a couple prosecutors before Court starts about how many files one of them has and they were like:
"Well Greg, we'll just give these all to you then"
"I don't have a BAR number"
"You should"

I feel like I'm feeling to proud about this/taking it as too much of a compliment

If your experience with the legal system has been of interest to you, then by all means look into it. Law enforcement and court security personnel are the most common students of part-time law school programs. You won't get some $200k/yr big law firm gig out of a part-time program, but with regard to criminal law you will be no less desirable than a full-time student. In fact, you'll probably be more employable on the basis that you've demonstrated connection with the process, shown necessary work ethic (working full-time and doing law school part-time is a tough feat), and probably made some connections.

I'd have to move cause the closest law schools are Seattle so the night school option requires a move. It's part of the reason I'll be taking the MAST test this weekend so that if I can get into UW or Seattle U I can go work as a bartender either at nights if I do school full time I do something similar to that during the day.

I initially wanted to go to law school straight from my undergrad degree but I had a professor that had a Masters, PHD, and JD that graduated from a CA law school, has a CA Bar license, and never practiced that said:
"Before you take the time and money sink, go work in the system in some fashion either being a process server, clerk, legal assistant to see if it's what you really want to do"

Well, 5 years later I'm tired of being a paper pusher when I know I could probably do what I see what attorneys do just fine so the itch is still there... still there to the point I tried that bullshit Concord program for a year before looking up the stats and only like 20% of their students pass the BAR so I said fuck it.

Jeeeesus that's a lot of cops. Send some of them our way they'll go back fucking traumatized.

You need to get your ass down here, I'm going to a Big Freedia show this weekend and stoked as fuck.



Wall to wall some of the hottest girls ever twerking like they possessed.
"If you got a dick, dick her down. If you aint got a dick, make him drown"

Sounds awesome but unless it's music I like (which doesn't suit itself to that sort of things and most people in this forum that are dummies from the planet dumb dumb would call me racist for listening to) I can't deal with the nightclub ridiculous party scene ever since being a bouncer.

that was uncalled for, as was the cunt saying get the fuck out the way, hes lucky the guy was just ranting, years ago i left a bar with one of my sisters, she was mildly drunk, bumped into a guy and drunkenly apologised, he didnt know i was following her out with my brother, and to amuse his mates he casually remarked "drunken slapper" ( whore) after she had toddled off on her way to the taxi. i saw red and got right in his face and offered to stab him, he shit himself, went white and apologised, and his pals shut the fuck up. i had no intention of doing so but there were two of us and around 8 of them so i figured acting mad was in order.
if it had been my other brother with me, who is , shall we say, a bit of a pscho, all hell would have broken loose, my point is dont treat people like shit and you wont risk serious assault.
i never start trouble no matter how drunk i am,in this case id just flipped, and have walked away once or twice and fought a few more times, am polite to door staff who are working, i cant understand how a few drinks turns folks into assholes for the evening.

Yeah, it was a tense moment cause Cuba is generally seen as a harmless dude by bar staff in our town but you just never know either.

It's a pretty intense cultural experience. Big Freedia is a monster onstage, something about Bounce just gets into your veins. The Drake song Nice for What is technically bounce.

Man I'm in a foul mood today. Rangers haven't done jack shit to that crackhead, I'm making zero money and pretty sure I upset this yuppy lady with her daughter because I wasn't going to tell her how toto spend her time in the FQ. "Is there anywhere we should avoid besides Bourbon Street? Are we safe? Is this kid friendly? I don't want to go to cafe du monde like a tourist" well bitch that scared expression on your face is all we need to know that you're a tourist lol.

Grabbing one of these afterwork. I dont usually drink mixed drinks but these are the tastiest drinks I've ever had.

My after work drink used to be a double of BSB with a ginger ale/beer chaser.

Now? Double of Casamigos silver and pineapple chase. I used to never take a shift drink but now that I'm almost 30 the amount of stupid I see at night I need it.


So, crackhead still out there ranting?

"I would be willing to stab you if you like, good sir."

Tbh, I don't think being rude generally is all that big of a deal when you're drunk. It happens. But people that treat the homeless like they are subhuman trash are the worst sort of people.
