Welcome to Opposite Day for Bar Tuesday, where we decided to go somewhere classy and swanky for a one-night only event. This idea came about after one of our Greatest Hits bars from season one was robbed the other night. Oh, Track 84 - thank goodness they didn't take the barber chair. So now we have had a murderer hide out and eventually be caught at one bar, a stabbing outside of another, and now a robbery at a third. Methinks a night at a classy joint was just what we needed. We chose the bar at this new hotel as our locale because of its funky interior. Here's a shot from our seats in the VIP section:
We even traded out our sneakers for a night and dressed a little classier. I made up my face like a whore, obviously. Bryan felt the need the leave his fancy Burberry scarf on because it just felt "right":
So we settled into a section in the back of the bar that's filled with strange bed-like seating and a black-and-white pool table. Of course, this all begged the question: what happens when you put the Bar Tuesday crew in a swanky environment? Well, it's sort of like the saying that talks about you being able to take the person out of a trashy environment, but you can't take the trashy out of the person. In our case, we like to call ourselves classy with a 'K.' So apparently you can't take the klassy out of us - we tried at first, with Paul ordering wine and us drinking with our pinkies out and all:
But then reality set in and things like this started happening:
Actually, we just did that because we were so effing bored. The place was dead last night and it had this awful pumped in music that I guess is supposed to be all hip but was really annoying. We had such high hopes when we arrived and Bryan got to order a drink called "The Pontiac Mills Panty Dropper":
But alas, we couldn't find anyone whose panties we would try to drop. We then tried to entertain ourselves with mock pillow fights followed by pillow snowman building:
But that grew old pretty quickly, so we just decided to take pictures in the fun assortment of seating:
That's what I am calling the "Big guy, little chair!" picture.
But even that grew boring after five minutes. How boring was it, Paul?
Exactly.
We made one final attempt to class it up and entertain ourselves by looking at art for sale on the walls and perusing the library:
But we were done. So we piled into our cars and headed down the street to a place that felt so much more like home:
Ye Olde Boulevard.
As usual, we received applause from the patrons when we walked in and hugs from Norma. Relief. We had moved from a place where the mixed drinks were $9.50 to one where they were $3.75, and we were as happy as can be.
Plus, Ye Olde Boulevard has snacks:
You know I will take my junk food over just about anything. We still tried to keep it a little classy for our classy bar night, so Paul continued to drink wine:
Only this time it came out of a box instead of a bottle.
Bryan also kept up on his reading:
Who needs a library with books sorted by color when you can have a stack of trashy romance and mystery novels? Also, Ye Olde Boulevard has the tabletop video game that already has 20 credits in it so Merry can sit there and play the naughty photo hunt for free:
Paul told me to take a picture of her being creepy with the photo hunt, and then two minutes later he and Norma joined her. That is what it's all about my friends: Good drinks and good times at a place that feels like home and where you're treated like family. (I may shed a tear.) Keep your classy $9.50-a-drink bars - we're going to the local dive.

Paul & Pam Show: Episode 6
Bar Tuesday shenanigans abound in this episode where Tina Turner distracts us repeatedly and Norma makes a special appearance (we had taped a short segment earlier at the swanky bar with us swinging in one of the chairs but it was so dark in there that we were just shadows. Sadly, you missed Paul telling everyone about his diarrhea. Actually, that's probably a blessing that you missed that.):
