Rick Rolled by Old Bug-Eyed Dude
Had a late dinner last night and the restaurant I wanted to eat at was full. Across the street was a small pub called Kelly’s and it was nearly empty so I went there in search of what I had hoped to br some Irish food.
No sooner than I sat down at the bar, the jukebox played a record which made the old big black bug-eyed codger three barstools down from me, burst into song with no idea about pitch, and his voice sounded like a bucket of rocks and rusty nails. Worse, on the downbeat of each stanza, the guy would turn toward me and emphasize the beat- as if he were singing for my benefit or wanted me to join in the song.
And the worst yet is that the song was Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Let You Down”. Oh yes he sang the whole song.
Finally his food arrived and this corked him up for a while. But I sat there sipping a beer in disbelief that I had just been Rick-rolled at the end of a rough day by this bizarre stranger. Sometimes it’s weird being me.
