GMontag's Journal: Everybody in DC wants My Barstool, revisited

Everybody in DC wants the same barstool (JE)was written during the DC sniper events of a few years ago. Time for an update.

Following my observations, of approximately 15 years now, I can add tourists to the list of idiots who can not spot a taken barstool. In this case, the young, snotty, wanna-be country-club Republican types that we thought Ronald Reagan got rid of.

Several months ago a mob of some type of Young Republican convention goers invaded Crystal City (Arlington, VA) and camped out at Bailey's bar for the evening.

First, the very cool bartender got shafted on tips because the manager shifted the check of the party (somewhere near 100, maybe more) to a server on the floor, when the bar tab had been opened with him. So, instead of getting the majority of the tips he got tipped-out by the server. The little jerks kept ordering from the bar, they had the whole bar mobbed.

I was "perched" in my usual seat (there is now a plaque with my 'handle' on the other side of the bar, in front of my seat, this being my 'normal' habitat) and had my usual set of clues scattered about. Smokes, beer mug with my 'handle' on it, etc.

One of the male snots decided that he needed to lean on the back of my barstool to chat it up with two female snots, who were kinda hot. After a few looks over my sholder I finally asked him if he had enough room. They shifted over a little bit to the EMPTY barstools to my right.

Finally needed to relieve myself, so I took a quick trip to the latrine and guess what happened when I returned? Yep, male snot was sitting in my barstool, with it turned away from the bar, chatting it up with the female snots.

As I approached they acted like I was invisible, so I 'uncloaked' right in front of male snot's face and asked if he minded if I finished my beer. "Oh, were you still using this spot?"

My response: "Um, yea, didn't I leave enough clues, Einstein"?

Oh yes, almost forgot when I was getting wound up in the memory. The next day the staff was complaining about catching some of the young snots screwing in the elevator! Other stupid behavior, like breaking stuff and throwing stuff, getting hammered, puking all over, etc.

No wonder Stephen Glass could write so many fake, but believable stories without leaving his apartment. The idiots DO act like that. It certainly is not going to help win over their mature-acting age-peers to the GOP.

That generation is why we have so many problems in the world.

Like the young *.gov/*.mil professionals but without even that amount of credibility. There's so much about the town that's about playing political. Folks walk like they have Hand, imply how much Hand they have, go and do things to demonstrate the lengths of their Hand. And it's all usually bullshit (and thus more a young man's game) especially since anyone wise can sniff it out and call someone all it[1]. So it can be dangerous to employ even when chasing skirts (especially those who are more tied-in t
