Some people shouldn't be seen in public

Well I am an assistant organizer of the NYC Linux meetup, bringing the goodness of Fedora to the group. Well, after our meeting on Tuesday, we all decided to go out for drinks. We went to a place called "The Peculiar Pub", where the experience was, well peculiar. Not because of anything about the pub, it was in fact quite ordinary. Instead, the patrons were peculiar. There was this lady behind us who was irate at the waitress because they apparently did not have a particular beer. But that's not the best of it.

The best comes when two guys in suits that are obviously drunk out of their gord sit at the table previously occupied by the irate lady's party. We heard them talking about Bear Stearns, and we we generally talking about selling things on eBay anyway. So we suggested to sell Bear Stearn's stock on eBay amongst us at our table, since that's about all it's worth at this point. One guy laughed behind us, and a few seconds later, we hear a loud thud. The other guy had FALLEN OFF HIS SEAT. The waitress obviously asked them to leave at that point.

Later, the waitress came over and told us that the gentlemen had attempted to pay for the beer with his cell phone - holding it out like it was cash or something!

Other insightful things that we learned is that Craigslist is good for exactly two things in NYC (well, maybe more) - finding an apartment or receiving stolen property.

That qualifies as the highlight of my week.
