"We're dressing up in cheap business attire, getting drunk, and possibly riding a train."

Dress up, show up, ride out, drunk up, pass out. Unlike other rides where we've taken the train to go get drunk, you'll need to be drunk before you're allowed on the train.

Quote:

The white collar businessman in Japan is called Salaryman.

Stereotypical characteristics include extreme over working, golf, all night karaoke sessions and binge drinking to wash away all the stresses and sorrows. If you go to any major city in Japan, you'll see the drunk salaryman on trains or on the street.

I decided to search the words drunk japanese salaryman on google and these are the images I found.

we should include in this ride a stop at the Schooner Exact brewhouse on 4th Ave. THey have a killer happy hour until 8, and they told Adam and I if we called ahead that 40 (okay, generous estimate) were coming they'd have extra staff and stay open a little later. We had excellent beers there on Sunday.

On our way to Tokyo Disneyland I saw a drunk salaryman begin to vomit in the parking lot of a bar right as we rode by. Perfect timing. True story.

You mean self-operated, with the menu system in a logosyllabic language?
Orient Express can do that.

I did this one at Kate's Pub once:

Quote:

Dude, you sounded like one of those drunk, sad, Korean karaoke dudes from the movies.

I've been wanting to replicate this experience for you guys but I've yet to find another place that carries Marco Antonio Solis. I've sung it in the car for Chase; those road trips Portland feel so long with blown speakers.

I am confidant in my ignorance. All I know is that I gotta ride to and fro wherever we go. And I guess I need to find my button up shirt.

Research published by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) indicates that moderate exercise during a rhinovirus-caused cold does not appear to affect symptom severity or duration. Although it is known that moderate exercise may decrease the risk of acquiring an upper-respiratory infection (URI), nothing had previously been documented to demonstrate whether exercise training while suffering from a cold would reduce or intensify the symptoms.

in other words, unless you're dealing with the flu, pneumonia, or food poisoning, perhaps you should just say "fuck you!" to your cold and come ride bikes with us. #justsayin'

Normally I would agree with that Kristen. But today I left work early feeling like shit, rode home, and felt worse when I got here :(.

I will be very sad to miss this, I was looking forward to getting a Value Village suit after work today.

Successfully nodding off in public and passing out: this guy. I'd like to thank my wife-taxi, Scott, for making sure I got to my building.

What a golden evening. Trudy's now has Karaoke on Thursdays. The pitchers are a little small but the ambience is grrrreat.
