Danny Wilcox Frazier - Small Town Bar

[thebanana]

I am printing a show right now for another member/contributer of Redux. Her work is very good as well.
Small town bar, how many here remember the small round tables with long neck glasses where the single men had to sit in one room and couples would sit in another room?
Spent a lot of underage drinking and as well lonely nights when I was travelling. We use to call them the local zoo.

The Prince Edward Hotel in Brandon had a mens only bar when I first moved here at age 18. Two draft for a quarter. Pissing in the urinals was optional. Good times

Pissing, if you're lucky!

The beer needed a heavy dose of salt and a bang on the table before you downed in one gulp.. boy I miss those days. Our hockey coaches would get us hammered after a win.
We would turn the glasses upside down after drinking on the table so the waiter would gage when to bring another round. By habit I continued turning glasses over after drinking a beer. I entered a bar *Zoo* in BC late 60's or early 70's cant remember*too much pot* and ordered a beer in a mens only section and after drinking it did my usual. Within a minute a really big bugger came up to me and told me to step outside as he was going to kick my ass. I asked him why as I was just peacefully minding my business.. He said , **I guess you are not from here, because you just challanged anyone to a fight in this bar by turning over your glass**
so be careful in the Zoos, back to the wall at all times.
