Hi guys -

As the subject line state,s I'm a little tipsy, but I'm f*ing pissed. I was just at a bar where I was seeing my buddy's band playing. I had been tipping the bartender quite nicely (I thought -- 35% tips on the drinks). I saw a friend and her husband, and she wanted to learn how to tie a cherry stem -- cheesy, I know, but hey, her husband was going to get a kick out if it. Anyway, I asked the bartender if he would mind pulling out the jar of cherries to find longer stems, and he said "no, but maybe the gay bartender would help me."

Okay 1.) I earnestly asked if he would mind getting the gay bartender, which I guess shows how totally clueless I am, and 2.) after realizing he meant it as a dig, I have become quite offended. So - first off and most importantlu, "gay bartender" as a dig == not cool; second off, he was nowhere near busy, and it seemed like a pretty innocent request (although perceivably pathetic, I admit -- but I stand my by assertion that it's really pretty innocent, and again -- what's wrong with giving your darling husband something to be proud of?).

Anyway. I'm pissed. Adn I'm drunk. So. Whatever. Blah. Ergh.
