So I managed to bring the house down with Dire Straits...which never fails to surprise me as to how popular that particular song is. I guess I should give people more credit for musical taste; at least, people who attend karaoke bars...

I can't remember the song being butchered, but I couldn't help but lean over to one of my compatriots and quote Huey Lewis in "Duets" and say, "What's this called, karate-oke?"

Gotta say, while I appreciated that there was more room in the bar this evening, there was also a significant shortage of chicks (though there was one that was fuckin' hot; like *smokin'*, I tell ya...). Hopefully it'll be a bit different the next time I'm there...

Ach...looks like I'm starting to sober up...time to hit the sack...
