Part two: Gunther goes to more bars!
After Zenos,
Gunther went to the Dark Horse to get some food. Gunther had the Dark Horse Burger
(burger, bacon and cheese) and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Gunther got bad indigestion
from burger, thinks it was made from ground squirrel and not moo-cow. In
this photo, Gunther is trying to convince nice bar tender lady to let Gunther
drink from the Guinness tap he is standing in front of. Bartender lady
asked Gunther to keep his paws off the tap...
While
Gunther waited for his food, he decided to go ouside and try and drum up more
business for the bar. While outside, someone tried to get Gunther to smoke
a cigar. Gunther did not like cigar, and did not want to smoke it. Cigar man
was gong to another bar anyway, and didn't want to go to the Dark Horse...
While waiting for
food, Gunther and Gail went foraging for the next bar to visit. We went to
the Shandygaff and Gunther got to work behind the bar briefly...
After
the Gaff, Gunther and Gail went to the Rathskeller where Gunther made friends
with the guy playing guitar. Gunther asked him if he knew any bear songs he
could sing, but guitar man coudn't think of any. Gunther decided to sing "The
bear went over the mountain" to the crowd, but could only remember
2 lines to the song. Gunther felt embearassed and apologized to the audience:
"Gunther is sorry he doesn't know the words, but Gunther has a tiny, tiny
brain"...
The
last stop for the evening was The
Crowbar, where one of Gunther's favorite bands was playing: "Side
Show Bob" After Gunther got his ID checked, Gunther offered to check
the ID of the next couple of people in line (Gunther tries to help in
whatever way he can). Gunther checked this person's ID and found out she was
from Colorado, Gunther was hoping she was from Montana, "the Grizzly
State", home of the Freemen, home of The Uni-bomber, and land of excessive
speed limits...
Gunther went upstairs
and tried to tend bar (being the helpful Gunther that I am) but Gunther forgot
to ask the manager if it was ok, so Gunther ran into some problems shortly
thereafter...
Gunther was taken
by suprise by one of the Crowbar bouncers and was nearly tossed over the
bar. But Gunther made a deal with the manager, bartenders and bouncers, so
they let him stay...
While making the
rounds, Gunther ran into some dudes playing pool, they wanted their picture
taken with the Gunther, so here it is...
After saying
hi to the dudes, Gunther noticed this sign behind the pool table. Everyone
knows bears love salmon, so Gunther decided to wait around
for some leftover salmon. Alas, there was no salmon to be found, and Gunther
had to forage elsewhere...
While
out foraging, Gunther managed to roust up some babes for a dance or two. Bears
like dancing with She-Bears, it sure beats dancing by yourself...
Gunther
was giving Gail a ride around the dance floor. Gunther must note however,
this puts Gunther in a very vulnerable positon, and other people can take
advantage of Gunther from behind, while he is not looking...
Gunther
talked to the band between sets and asked them if they knew any songs with
bear in them. Bump replied: "all our songs have bear in them"
and he wasn't kidding. From that point on, all their songs did have bear
in them. Gunther was so happy, he jumped up on stage and shook his bootie
for the whole bar. The bands next 2 sets all had "bear songs"
in them. Gunther was very very happy...
Gunther was very very tired, because he has been dancing
since 11:30PM and it was now 2:00AM. Gunther thanked the band and the Crowbar
staff and shuffled on home. On his way home, Gunther and Gail stopped by Ye
Olde College Diner to say hi to Adam, who after meeting Gunther, confessed
he owned a pooh bear costume. After the Diner, Gunther walked Gail back to
her car and bid her a fond farewell. It was way past Gunther's bed time and
he was one tired bear. Plus, when Gunther doesn't get enough sleep, he becomes
one heck of a cranky bear.
