So, RD. I'll buy ya a beer and a shot of Patron if you can.......

[ROC]

Tell me who this bartender is.....................






The true story goes..........

This past Friday night, the 22nd, we had all (Me, Jayme, managers and bartenders/servers) gathered around and patted each other on the back for a job well done. The band was breaking their stuff down and we bought em all a soda or two to laugh and have fun. The band is a kick ass band and the women love em. The lead singer, with his curly golden hair and the gifted ability to play anything from Prince to James Brown to Alan Jackson, keeps the ladies rolling in the door.

Jayme and I have talked about getting them all to the river and throwing a big party for all our friends. Somehow, the band heard of our plans and were really stoked about the idea of floating on a pontoon and having fun. As we talked logistics, a bartender came up with a great idea. He said he knows someone that has a house in The Keys and that would be the ideal place to party after the floatilla concert.

This bartender has been with us for a long time. You'd figure I know a lot about him, and I usually do after some time. He's a great bartnder. Great with any conversation and the women love his authentic Texan drawl. Fast and accurate are his pours.

He told me a story about a place he used to work at in the late '90's called "Cue and View". Apparently, that's where he met this guy that had a house in "The Keys" The guy would come in, play some pool, drink some Coors Light and talk about "pulling women" As I listened to his story, I started laughing out loud...........I said to myself, "I know a guy just like that". He also said the guy was a fairly good stick in the pool hall.

Now I know RD lives on the Southern Cal coast and "Cue and View" is in Rialto or somewhere around there. This couldn't be the RD we've all come to love, could it?

Anyhow, the bartender said he nicknamed this guy "Boat key guy". There's a funny story that goes with this nickname.........."His real name is Dave Johnson, but, I called him "Boat key guy" back then.

OK, there's probably a thousand Dave Johnson's in California, but, a Dave Johnson that has a house in the keys? Pulling women? Coors light and pool tables?

Now this truly is a small world

RD, this bartender told me the story of "boat key guy", but, I was wondering if you could tell your version? He also wanted me to ask you if you still talk to Root Beer.

Name this bartender RD. It's worth a cold Coors Light and a shot of Patron.:champagne:

 

[Bobby V]

You may want to edit the "pulling women" part. He is engaged now.

 

[BoatCop]

It's only 9:45 AM.

Expect an answer sometime after 2:00.



RD SUX!

 

[ROC]

You may want to edit the "pulling women" part. He is engaged now.

I know that part. This was back in 1998, way before the engagement. Besides, according to the bartender, the "pulling women" never really happened

 

[ROC]

It's only 9:45 AM.

Expect an answer sometime after 2:00.

[RiverDiva]

Maybe you will here from him at 2 but I doubt it. We just got home and RD just sent me off to work while he cozied up in bed with the dogs.

Wild weekend.:champagne:

 

[Mandelon]

I hear that he pulled them, but they pulled back and usually got away.

[Lue]

Nah.....can't be this RD. If the story read something about all those facts with pulling pud in place of pulling chicks, it would definitely be our RD. :skull

 

[ROC]

LOL. I think he read this thread a couple days ago, but, can't remember this bartender. He's holding out till he can remember or someone reminds him. Maybe Root Beer knows the bartender. :champagne:

 

[WATERDOG]

Right now a doubt if he remembers last nights bartender.

 

[ROC]

Right now a doubt if he remembers last nights bartender.

Yet another good point made in this thread.

 

[RiverDave]

Well, my next question to you would be..............












Would you like lime and salt with your patron?:champagne:


Good job. We call him Red. He still short, but, ripped like an 18 year old.

He wants to know if you still talk to rootbeer

Yep. Been tending the bar here for a while now. Good, fast and a nice guy. You should come in and surprise him one day/night.

I'll keep the beer and Patron cold for ya:champagne:

 

[RiverDave]

I will definately do that.. Won't be for a month or so though as I'm not heading back to the river for awhile.

What did he say about the boat key story?

RD

 

[ROC]

RD

The story goes.......................


While at Road Runner with RD, the bartender "Red", was having a good time drinking and having fun. Ol RD says to him, "being a bartender and all, you may be popular where you live, but, around here............."

RD is now dangling a boat key up in the air..............."it's the guy that has the boat key that can pull the chicks"

Red, a smooth talking southern man with about 4 ounces of body fat says to RD........."so, are we gonna have a competition or something?"

RD - "yep"

To make a long story short, Red had warmed up to two of the female bartenders/waitresses and had talked them into hanging out after they closed the bar. Two for Red.

After the women finish closing the bar and cleaning up, they walk out to the dock with to get on the boat. RD was there................apparently without any women, just a few of his male friends.

RD - 0
Red - 2

From that night on, RD has been known to Red as "boat key guy"

Now, I wasn't there, but, if ya know Red at all you know that he doesn't do a whole lot of fabrication of stories.

I still owe RD a beer and a shot of Patron, with lime and salt:champagne:

 

[ROC]

Btw RD, I got your message and I'll call ya on Tuesday. I think Red is working and he wants to say hey:thumbsup

Ole Red, LOL


I love that song. In case you didn't know it was a song, look it up. It's a country tune, but, i think you'll like it anyway

Here's the words




"Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I'd been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol Red

Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got right
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
And I smiled when I heard 'em turn Red out
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes

Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out"
