Incredible story. He's been dishing out the booze longer than most people live.

UberDave: I wonder if he knows how to make a Screaming Viking.

Would you like your cucumber bruised?

I can has angry tipping thread?

Newsworthy because he contributed only alcohol to society? I likes my drinks... but that dude must have some regrets.

That tag is well-deserved. Hats off to you, sir.

As a former bartender I salute him. Putting up with drunks for that long is indeed heroic.

UberDave: I wonder if he knows how to make a Screaming Viking.

Would you like your cucumber slightly bruised?

Overused hero tag strikes again. Someone is not a hero for doing an easy low education job, no matter how long it is done for.

FTA:
...but in great part because it allowed him to raise four children, who've raised 14 children, who are raising grandchildren.

Shouldn't that be great-grandchildren?

A toast to 77 years of public service!

Take 20 mintues to get a beer and his turn signal is still on.

Who says I am trolling? This should have been at most a Spiffy. This guy did nothing with his life and he is a hero?

Anyone that found a career they love and did it for that long is damned lucky.

It's better to fail at what you love doing than to succeed at what you hate doing.

Cheers.

Some bitter "legalize it" guy needs to smoke a joint and chill out.

I'd also point out to folks like Rib that unlike most of us, he will deserve his social security checks. He stayed off the public assistance teat for 77 years. And yeah, I'll drink to that.

You really despise your job as a fluffer, don't you.
Quit.
But wait until after my turn, thanks.

He's a professional poker player. You know, one of those jobs that require a high level of education.

Other plaques and clippings and photos cover the walls of the bar...He's clearly proud of his long career

Oh yeah? Bet he cant do this.

A common man that does a job that he enjoys is far more heroic than an well paid miserable man that does a job that he hates.

Trust me, I HATE wall street fatcats and CEO's that think they deserve 25 times what their workers make. I respect the man that works hard and enjoys it.

That's why I see him heroic.

Nogale: I bet he has some good stories.

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Yeah, I was a bartender for way too long... Though I still would not mess with him even if he got my order wrong -- experience is golden.

He is a killer.

Aw, so tags ARE subjective. Thats what I thought.

"Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere". Is that clear, or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer? "

Wonder how many people he got drunk and let drive into the darkness to kill some one. Yea bars, keeping the frat boys busy and the roads a bloody mess!!! Woowhooo...

I'm impressed that at his age he still has the wits and body to show up to work, even if for half-days.

Sounds like he had a decent career in a place he loved. Luckier than a lot of people.

"To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems."

Kudos to the old dude. What a life to have led.

As someone who was a bartender for 15 years, 10 of them behind my own bar, I commend this guy. The job is alot more difficult than most think. I hope this guy gets at least a few years of work free enjoyment!

Mad Scientist: "Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere". Is that clear, or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer? "

Nick's Place looked way cooler than Martini's. Although the music--sounded like some epileptic spazzing out at a piano.

I bet he can predict what someone's going to order as soon as they walk in...as many customers as he's served.

The last paragraph made me smile:

"It was a pleasure" -- he stretches the word -- because I met so many wonderful people."

This tells me that this "drug-peddling" "low-education" man who "contributed only alcohol to society" lived a far richer life than the judgmental pricks trolling this thread ever will.

Doesn't make him a hero, I don't see him risking his life to save someone else. Calling him a hero demeans real heroes.

You win. Can't anyone just be happy for someone. Great story and thanks subby

CrispFlows: I respect the man that works hard and enjoys it.

I agree with that statement, but I think you underestimate the hours some of those "fatcat" CEOs and the like put in. Oh I agree that a shiatton of CEO's are overpaid, but I don't necessarily agree that my mechanic, or even myself, deserve to earn as much. Entitlement thinking like that is equally as dangerous as the rich saying "let them eat cake".

Oh HELL!!! Or is that HEL??.... I totally didn't mean to do that.

I'm going to have Wil beat my ass on Fark. It was truly a typo.
As much as I'm a fan, I deserve this....

ChipNASA ...That's WIL with ONE "L" ...MORAN!!!!


//I'm sure he's say this if he were here. I'll just do it for him!

I'll drink to that!

CHEERS!

First person he served.

Lightly.
