Crazy People Part Dux

Last night Maddy and I went out to Casa Bianca for a pizza pie and lasagna. At this restaurant you expect the wait and the crowed, so we check in and head to a local bar down the street to wait out the thirty-five minutes. When we get there the bar is not open yet (no it's not 10AM either) they don't open 'till 7pm and its 6:55 so we figure there is nothing else to do so we wait outside the bar (lemme tell ya nothing feels better than waiting outside a closed bar.) Enter crazy guy and his friend who are looking for a place to shoot pool. I tell them that there is no pool table inside there is one down the street at the bowling alley. They don't leave but continue on about how much they would like to shoot pool.

It is now 7:10 I'm wishing the bar would open but it doesn't he's still yammering about how much he likes L.A. 'cuz its so much faster than San Diego and the people are cooler... The bar has not opened yet. Others are gathering to go in he calls the bar on his cell. They answer. He starts talking to be bar maiden about why they aren't open yet. She says the bouncer is not there yet and that he always comes through the back door. Yep like a 4th grader this sets him going. The back door eh blah blah blah, "I just wanna know" he says "Do you have heffewiesen in an IV." She I presume says , "Huh" because he repeats himself.

Finally they open, I thought it was over... Wrong! He proceeds to continue to talk to us and annoy the bartender. He wows me with intriguing how he installs pools. Maddy and I order and I make the mistake of ordering Guinness which takes forever to pour... He's now asking what I do. Maddy is half way through her beer by the time mine gets there I'm determined to catch up! I work in film, blah, blah, hours a day, Canada. Ball is now back in his court. Immigrant labor something about Russians and duct work. Finished my beer got outta there.

We are at the restaurant enjoying our pizza when lo and behold he finds us at the restaurant. Mind you we were not in the front, we were through the kitchen two rooms over in the back against the wall in a booth. He starts talking about how good the food is, oh is that a pepperoni and mushroom? I saw your girlfriend on the way to the bathroom.

Thank god he did not sit down!
