A Crazy Night at Crazy Jerry’s

So, there’s this ramshackle building down here in Jacksonville NC near Camp LeJeune called Crazy Jerry’s. It looks like it is 150 years old. They boast a menu of a full bar and karaoke 7 nights a week. A few of us found ourselves out in town, having dinner and a few beers the other night and discovered that we were in walking distance of this esteemed watering-hole. We, being the most adventurous type decided to go, and this is what we found:

The place had an autographed picture of Oliver North… Now That is a Marine Corps bar! They also had an autographed first edition of one of his books.

They also had an autographed Rolling Stones guitar, signed by each member of the band. This made me love the place even more.

They also had a room specifically designed for darts playing. It just so happened that we had in our group a champion darts player fresh from the pubs of Boston (note the yellow dart frozen in time because I set the shutter speed to an ultra-fast setting). In addition, they had an African Safari video game that met with my approval.

I also enjoyed the Rolling Rock Town Fair guitar…
But I can tell what you want. I know you are all waiting for the karaoke video that seems to never come. Well you are in luck!
I do apologies for the profanity… I really do. It just seems like it’s rocket science for some people to share a microphone. Anyway, the intention here was to play the video of the 5th squad guys singing I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues, but not everyone was willing to participate (only 2 sang out of the 4 from 5th present that evening), and human error with the camera rendered most of the video unusable. Sorry. I however sang 'Starman' by David Bowie and took part in 'The Kill' by 30 Seconds to Mars.
