An Ode to Fearon’s Public House
Oh Fearon’s Public House, how I miss thee,
From your appetizer specials to your shiny TVs.
On Ashland and Wellington you valiantly stand,
The greatest of bars in all of the land.
Your jukebox magnificent with LFO and Wham!,
Karaoke on Wednesday nights for the average ham.
Sitting at the Megatouch machine with my back to the door,
On 11-Ball and Tri Towers, I set the high score.
And memories so personal for me and my crew,
Monday nights after Cubs games or when there was nothing to do,
The hundred dollar turkey sandwich night, I walked home with my beer,
Tossed my laundry in the dryer, and back to the bar with no fear.
I remember one night the bartender forgot to close,
From the basement at 2:15 the hideous manager arose.
With anger and rage towards the patrons inside,
Like the hunchback of Notre Dame with a thorn in her side.
I would walk through your doors wearing many different things,
From mesh shorts and flip flops to glittery tutus with wings.
My Matt Leinart jersey on NFL draft day,
A Notorious B.I.G. t-shirt on a weekend in May.
And although I haven’t seen you in over a year,
I think about you all the time my beautiful dear.
I may visit other pubs, both near and far,
But you’ll always remain in my heart, as my favorite bar.
Got my hospital bill...$9,416. Very proud.
Me, JC, MDR, and the Lunchbox
Herbie...yes...we drank during your wedding. Sorry.
Very Similar to Danhard

The Jonas Brothers with Stevie Wonder on voice box at the Grammy's?
Side note: By now I bet Stevie can play "Superstition" with his eyes closed.
Side, side note: Superstition is a badass word.
Side, side, side note: Who is Adele? Surprised she didn't thank Lane Bryant in her acceptance speech.

"Linger"

I like how MDR is flicking off Jesus. That's why I like you guys, b/c of your strong Christian values
ReplyDeleteI would like it to be noted that I took that picture that guaranteed DR and MR a seat in hell....It also has BM on the verge of a front row seat watching the inferno show.
ReplyDeleteI believe all three, including BM, have all-access VIP backstage passes to hell (including pre-show buffet), regardless of this picture. I won't even delve into MDR and Dan, but if you need more convincing on BM, allow me to remind you that he laid down the original melodies on "Columbine", "Hiroshima", and "Afgani Freedom Fighters".
ReplyDeleteFYI...Pete Mitchell is the man that formery went by "Brian" on this site.

Just wanted to clear up any identity issues that would arise from a new name in the comments. It's just me, BTA.
Hey DR! Long time listener, first time caller. I was wondering what preparations you're making for Black Friday? It's just around the corner after all. I can't believe it has been almost a year since they found my baby girl next to Hong Kong Diner #2! It is still a hard time for all Americans. aiueouaoiue
ReplyDeleteMr. Mitchell,
ReplyDeleteYou got the best of me in flight school. It will not happen again.
Yours truly,
Lt. Thomas Kazansky
Raney isn't giving the bird...he's just pointing. Also, the deciples used to drink by Jesus all the time, so I think we are still cool with him.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Pokey lives in the same building Dan used to in Chicago, and has become quite friendly with the staff at Feron's. He is dating one of the bartenders, and I believe he has had the entire staff to his cabin in MI. I think he's basically keeping Dan's seat warm.
