Chicago Fire and the Birthday of Captain Crabbypants

This Thursday we celebrated the birth of one of our own, Captain Crabbypants. The Crab chose Chicago Fire pizza in Folsom for his birthday festivities. We were down two vacationing drunks, RobotGoBen and Scribby (they texted). We had a great table on the outside patio in the thick of the Thursday Night Market and within earshot of a not-terrible cover band. Shooter was able to name every song! Jarla's BF has been interviewing at a local high school for a teaching position. We wish him much luck in pursing this lifetime goal. His new nickname might be "Mr.Chemistry," we haven't settled on it just yet. Anyhoo, the thin crust and the thick crust pizza-pies were delicious as always and the Crab was in effect! Baby Wednesday had a great time watching cars pass, enjoying the nice breeze, chewing on fingers, and being passed around the table. Our favorite Slug baked birthday cupcakes and we showered the Captain with recycled greeting cards and gifts aplenty.

After dinner it was birthday boy’s bedtime so he grabbed his lovely ladies and headed home. A number of us continued on next door to Scarlett’s to listen to the musical stylings of one-man-extravaganza Johnny Lipka and enjoy ladies night. The drinks flowed and we scored a cool table outside that faced a window looking in on the bar. It was like watching reality TV, but more real. From our table we could see Mr. Lipka, the bar, and sloshy ramblings of NakedBob. A fun time was had by all and TJ won a pair of jeans in the Ladies Night drawing.

Two memorable quotes from the evening:

“I like your skirt. The pleats make your calves look nice.”
-Bartendress Danielle to a kilted-NakedBob

“That hagasaurus!? I wouldn’t urinate on her!”
-NakedBob in reference to the cougar at the bar
