$10 all you can drink

The Sunday afternoon all you can drink for $10 offer at the Bar started off with a bang and has slowly dwindled in popularity, as evidenced by the poor showing yesterday afternoon. After watching too many episodes of VH1's Trading Spouses marathon, Puppy, Periwinkle and I met Roommates A&J, Kitten and Beetle at the bar to ease ourselves into the work week.

None of my friends have ever tried the all you can drink offer, mostly because we don't like well alcohol, but it was clear that a group of girls were enjoying the deal to its fullest. At one point, we watched a girl in a purple sweater dress, leopard print ballet slippers and black leggings gyrate on a bench, dancing seductively at passers-by on the street. Suddenly, in a move reminiscent of Selives's years of dance floor training, she dropped her drink, screeched and fell to the ground. Undeterred, she got back up onto the bench and continued her dance.

A few minutes later, she approached us and introduced herself to us as Alison. Alison was in town from Seattle to see Mos Def and called me an asshole for pointing out the fact that her sweater dress looked like it was from the discount bin at an outlet mall - a fact that she proudly exclaimed only moments before. As I made my way to another corner of the bar, she suddenly screamed because she accidentally dropped her drink again - this time all over Puppy. Adding to the Alison mystique was that her boyfriend broke up with her two weeks ago, allegedly because she had gastric bypass surgery and now found herself with loose skin all over her body. A fact that I certainly didn't need for her to prove with evidence.
