A night in the life
By briantologist | May 20, 2005
In lieu of emotional honesty, today I present a few choice pictures of a time I had some beers with some friends at a bar called the Cock o’ the Walk, and I am not kidding about that. Then again, anybody who says there’s no emotional honesty in having beers with friends has gotta be spoiling for a fight. With some pretty drunk people.

where is this bar and is there a rainbow that will take me there?

That rainbow is named I-44, my friend. You’ll have to get to St. Louis to catch this particular rainbow, but once you have, it’s a straight shot to Oklahoma City. Good luck. We’re all counting on you.

Once Doug and I were driving to the gay bar and we passed Cock O’ the Walk and there were, like, 30 cop cars outside. It was pretty sweet.

Good by World… Hello Cock o the Walk!!!!!!

An interesting — and at times perplexing — phenomenon has arisen out of our choosing the Cock o’ the Walk (don’t call it “the Cock” please) as our watering hole. … Within walking distance of said CW (ok, just far enough away that there’s no way in hell you’d actually walk it) is our second favorite bar, with similarly large cheap beers, a jukebox on the wall and about the same size. … It’s name? The Red Rooster. … The interest and perplexicismology of course coming from the use of game fowl in the names of both.

I’m not sure if I would be at a point in my life to say i was ready to drink at “the cock”, much less wear a cross.
I love that joke.

As far as the photos themselves, I’m impressed at the documentation, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t say … Holy shit that’s an awful picture of me! Were it not for the fact I actually look EXACTLY like that I’d demand it be removed immediately. It’s awfully accurate though. So at least it’s good you left the lovely lady in that one photo with me, even if it only served to make me look that much more hideous by comparison. … I want my MTV!

That used to be a big OCU hang out back when I went there. Is it still?

I’m not sure if it is or not, though perhaps the guy in beer camouflage could answer that better than I.
As Natrone can attest, you were in kind of a beer race by the time I’d gotten there. Only I don’t think Nate was racing, which sort of complicates things.

I used to work at Cock until they failed a health inspection because of me. I fired.

Man, I love stories like that. We didn’t fail it outright, but the dollar theater I worked at almost failed a health inspection because I was eating from the popcorn bin in front of the inspector. Classy + brilliant = me.

It’s still a big OCU hangout. Though there’s a Henry Hudsons not too far away that for some reason has started drawing quite a few OCU types away from CW. Not that i’m complaining. …
… Beer race. OH YEAH! I believe I decided on my own to play a drinking game and when nobody else wanted any part of it I had to improvise, if you will. Not quite as simple as selecting “one player” on the Timesplitters or MarioKart entry screen, but obviously it CAN be done.
