Apparently someone *has* to start a *New* LATESHIFT

Bar work and waiting tables. I usually hate the karaoke because it means I finish at 1 instead of 11 and there are some truly, truly awful singers there. Even the good ones usually stick to the same five songs. Tonight was good, though.

I'm also in a good mood because it was payday and I've decided that I'm buying myself a Double Bass next month. I used to play it in school and it's been ages. I really can't wait.

Hi Mel. My sympathies on your karaoke nightmare job.

03:21 / 29.07.05

Duble Bass? What's that? Is it a drum pedal, or like an electric bass with two necks?

It's a stand-up bass. Bigger than a cello. Classic in rockabilly records

03:24 / 29.07.05

Hell yeah! I'm wearin' my psychobilly shirt as I type!

03:25 / 29.07.05

Hey Keggers.

It's Ok! Im getting a....

You know when people get their legs chopped off and can still feel phantom limbs?

I've had a phantom Double Bass at my side for the past few days.

I gonna start a swing band, or something.

Cool..there's just something about instruments big enough to hide in. It's just so scooby-doo.

03:26 / 29.07.05

Eek. Too big. Moderate! Moderate!

Hey Anna. How are you tonight?

03:26 / 29.07.05

03:27 / 29.07.05

...and don't you think Meludreen really needs to work on his quiff?

Woo! I remember we spoke of the power and majesty of the bass a while ago! Congrats, Meludreen!

I am so jealous.

Good evenening, Late Shift. How are you?

Hey Anna. How are you tonight?
Lovely and talented obviously.

needs some head tattouage

I'm going the full three-piece suit way.

(Just to let you know, I've been a bit post-happy today. I anticipate posting limits at some point).

03:30 / 29.07.05

Post-happy? Is this like some sort of comedown type affair?

...oh, I see what you mean.

03:30 / 29.07.05

Post happy stress syndrome.

Zoot Suit?

Riot!

A young man cam in for an application the other week wearing a nice suit and my racist boss started laughing at him.

I suppose it would depend on the type of music, but an ice cream suit would do wonders when coupled with a standup.

03:34 / 29.07.05

I'll bet he was just jealous.

03:35 / 29.07.05

My boss is a she. I don't think she was jealous as much as she's a bit of a cunt.

03:36 / 29.07.05

An ice cream suit is just cool if you also have an ice cream truck. Ofcourse then you have to worry about the Smashing Pumpkins.

03:39 / 29.07.05

I want an ice-cream-stealing monkey.

03:40 / 29.07.05

I want a monkey made of ice cream.

03:40 / 29.07.05

But then your monkey might kidnap it.

Is the Ray Bradbury of The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, the Ray Bradbury? That movie sounds like fun.

I have a quandry for the shifters to chew over. I got the Studio Ghibli box set for my birthday a wee while back. Should I wait until I get my hands on some weed before I watch the movies I haven't seen yet?

I told you never trust a monkey!

03:42 / 29.07.05

Send a monkey out to get some weed for you. You can pay it in ice cream.
