Nope, mostly just sitting around being a lazy arse. I'm not even getting worked up over the politics and current events threads.

Excellent

Carry on.

I think TGRR's new user title should be 'fairy princess'.

Aliantha · 03-03-2009, 08:03 PM

Oh I don't think he should be banned. lol Besides, didn't UT lose his ban key?

I used to know a bouncer (pub security guy) in Queensland whose bouncer nickname was Princess.

See, he was new at the job, and he told the others that when they called him on the 2-way radios, his name (Josh) just sounded like static. Being a New Zealander, he suggested "can you call me kiwi insted?" to which the head bouncer replied, "nah, ya don't get to choose yer own nickname, princess."
There was a meaningful pause, and the die was cast forever.

Aliantha · 03-03-2009, 08:09 PM

lol....that's funny.

capnhowdy · 03-03-2009, 08:15 PM

He just posted a rfn on the grumbling thread. Maybe Lumberjim can work from that.

ZenGum · 03-03-2009, 10:53 PM

One other bouncer was named Stamper.

Not so tough, really, on his first night two other bouncers held him in a headlock and stamped all over his face with the door stamp (for re-entry). Hence the name.

And there was one called Muff. Well, she was a female bouncer, whaddaya expect?

ETA: Princess was involved in the team that cleaned up the Cabulture hotel (which Ali may know of). Imagine the movie Roadhouse (which Princess swore was a documentary) with 8 bouncers and about 30 angry patrons who had to be banned and kept out, but without the sexy doctor or evil rich local guy.

Aliantha · 03-03-2009, 10:55 PM

They sound like the sort of blokes my ex works with.

You know, we have a lot of issues with security staff at pubs and clubs up here right? lol

ZenGum · 03-03-2009, 11:16 PM

Yeah, this guy shared some very interesting stories. I'll post some soon. Should that be a thread, bouncer stories? Whadayareckon?

Aliantha · 03-03-2009, 11:18 PM

Oh yeah...I'm sure everyone's got one or two to share.

I remember the episode when Bouncer diagnosed Lucy's brain Tumor. And what about the time he saved Madge and Sky?

Our non-profit group just purchased the old (mid-1930's) theater. We explored backstage and the orchestra pit area which has been closed off for decades. Yellowing ledges with receipt amounts from GWTW, etc., and fascinating bits of equipment and whatzits. I can't wait to go back in with a camera!
