I can see stabbing a waiter, but for this?

[HairOfTheDog]

Guevarra, who was drinking with a friend, allegedly became angered when Gargantilla asked him to share the bar's songbook and microphone with other customers.

He lost that Lovin' Feeling!

WOW, tough crowd.

[Revolting cat!]

In the end, I won't be surprised if it turns out that the waiter had asked the customer to put him out of his misery! Can you imagine the torture of listen to amateur interpretations of Wind Beneath My Wings, sung with Filipino/Spanish accent, day in day out?!

I think you missed my sarcasm, then. :)

I didn't...and welcome to FR.

Until yer known better, you NEED to add the /sarcasm to your posts...all will be well in a few days... weeks... months... years.

LOL!!!

I'm collecting evidence that the 'Post' button eats words. I swear that when I pressed it earlier, the sentence fragment read:

"imagine the torture of having to listen"

(That's all right, I'll take out these frustrations on the nearest waiter later this evening.)

I was in a Karaoke bar in the Philippines... brutal. The babes are hot though...

[ko_kyi]

I was in a hotel bar in Hawaii 13 years ago and Imelda Marcos walked in and tried to sing with the band.

[perfect stranger]

Outlaw Karaoke!

Did she sing "Boogie Shoes"?

It can't be as bad as listening to old drunken Japanese men sing it.

[Vinomori]

I read somewhere that there have been thousands of karaoke killings in the past
half year alone.

My Way is not a duet, Darnit!
