Ummm… what did I just drink?
27 January, 2020.
I love eateries. From high end atmospheres to burger dives, I love a restaurant with character – and populated with characters. One kind of place, however, I can take or leave: sports bars. They’re great if you want to watch a game, but kind of a silly choice for just dining out. The walls display row after row of televisions broadcasting football, baseball, basketball, soccer – maybe even a bicycle race or rugby. Conversation is difficult – or even impossible – because one’s attention is constantly being pulled toward one or more screens. And soon, like the couple at the bar in this sketch, one has transformed into a television zombie, eating in a trance. I’m confident they have no idea what they were drinking, and the memory of their meals will be non-existent.
