What Lit Is To Me

[naudiz]

This thought occurred to me just now, while I was explaining to Mr. Naudiz why I think Lit is so grand.

To me, Lit is a like a tavern. It's not one of those seedy places with sticky floors and grizzled old men hovering over their pints at the barstool mumbling amongst themselves. It's a lively place. It's a big place, and there's room for all kinds of people.

There are socialites flitting about sharing a joke or batting their eyelashes. In one corner you have the table where people come to debate the political issues of the day. In another corner we have the table where philosophers gather to banter ideas. Some people come looking to meet that special someone. Others come to take a break from the daily grind and have some fun.

People come and go. Some wander through and never say a word. Others will be here until Laurel (our lovely proprietress) turns off the lights for good. Some never leave their tables. Others make their rounds. It's a fun place to come spend some time, and when it's time to go, I know that when I come back tomorrow, my place at the bar will be there, just like it always has been.

On that note, I'm off to get some work done. I'll be back, and I expect a pint to be waiting for me.

I've often described it the same way.

 

[perks]

Callahan's with more assholes?

right Dillinger

 

[Dillinger]

Exactly Naudiz...

And yes, Perks - like Callahan's and like a place where everybody knows your name...

Cheers to you all!

 

[naudiz]

And when I came back, there was a pint waiting for me!

I love you people.

 

[Dillinger]

Maker's Mark for me.

 

[Bob Peale]

Piano Man





It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin



He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes"



La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da



Chorus:

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright



Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."

As the smile ran away from his face

"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place"



Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da



Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy

And probably will be for life



And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinkin' alone



Chorus



It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"



Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da



Chorus

 

[Dillinger]

Hey draah - stop singing and check your damn PM's already!

It's nine o'clock on a Friday
And Alexandraah shuffles in
There's Dillinger watching her
Drinkin his Maker's Mark

 

[YogiBare]

Chorus:

Sing us a song, you're the porno man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for some sodomy

And you've got us feelin' upright

[Private Vasquez]

there aren't enough nekkid folks dancing on the bar around here. Beer Nuts?

 

[Dillinger]

Sure, you can pour beer on my nuts - but you'll have to lick it up afterwards.

 

[Private Vasquez]

that's cheating

Pretzels?

 

[Sillyman]

I need to break my cap of 666 posts, so I'll just be in the corner playing pinball. 'Scuse me.

 

[Private Vasquez]

is it KISS pinball?

 

[LRC]

I have no freakin' idea but I keep comimg back anyway.

I think I need some therapy.

 

[naudiz]

You sure will after this...

[cymbidia]

I'd prefer cognac to beer but if beer's all we have for now i'll have Red Tail Ale, please. And i'll be over in the really shadowy corner, too; just bring it on over, okay?

 

[Sillyman]

[Kitte]

What lit is to me...

When I am feeling nasty, down right pervy, when I think I am just about the sickest lil kitte on the block. I come to Lit. Then I realize Im not the only perv in the world
