You never know what you'll learn at Mitchell's...

A night or so ago, I walked up to Mitchell's for a couple of beers. It's kinda funny, because I just wanted to go for a walk, but needed a destination, so thought I'd grab two beers, then come home and work on stripping paint. I was talking with a couple of guys next to me, while Andrea (totally made up name, you'll see why...) waited on us. Gus had had a great day perch fishing, We talked about politics and movies, and whether or not the Brown's would beat Buffalo. I was having fun, so I drank another beer, had a shot, then Andrea's shift ended and she joined us. She knew the one guy's name, and he introduced his friend, "Jim". She shook his hand, then said, "Wait, is your last name Hammersmith?" Jim said yes, and Andrea looked at me and said, "Oh my god! This is the guy I lost my virginity to!" I was caught off guard. If I had a been drinking my beer, I'd have sprayed it all over the bar. So, I did the only thing I could think of, "Hey man, high five!" SMACK. I told her it was a bit more information than we needed to know. We talked a little more, Jim had recognized Andrea immediately, but it was funny that she didn't recognize him right away. "You really must have made in impression on her!", I chided.

During the same evening, the other barmaid kept playing air guitar, so when I asked her if she played, she said she could play rhythm on an acoustic guitar. She's not in a band or anything, but she did tell me to look up her "Obama song" on YouTube. So, here it is. The first verse is pretty bad, but after that, well, it's still bad, but what the hell, she's having fun.
