From what I understand, "barista" means "bartender", so it technically can be alcohol instead of caffeine. ;) [EDIT] Or how about some "Buzz Beer" to combine the two.[/EDIT]

Dunno. Does this "Cafe" have terminals or a WiFi?

Karaoke night at the Cafe...

Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big 10 inch...

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays its blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big 10 inch...

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just loves my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big 10 inch...

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big 10 inch...

Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

I hate kareoke, I always end up sitting within earshot of this person, and they always 'sing along' to every single song

My guess is, .......they're thinking they sound great.

I hate kareoke as well. I went out with my ex-wife once to a bar that unforunately was having a kareoke night. I'd rather be dragged naked over carpet tacks and then dipped in rubbing alcohol than listen to people that think they can sing, warbling off key. The lowlight of the evening was some guy that looked like he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel attempting to sing "Do you think I'm sexy". Even after I got drunk it didn't sound or look any better...



To truly explore, one must keep an open mind...

Is this weird, or what? I just clicked your link of the iPod and they [news casters on TV] started talking about people getting mugged by people trying to steal their iPods. WEIRD! >:-/

Apparently iPods and Palm Pilots account for the rise in theft in the subway.

I did karaoke in Japan when a few years before it came to the states and when they used an expensive laserdisc setup. There was only two songs with English lyrics: "My Way" and "Yesterday". We were actually advised in an orientation briefing to sing "Yesterday" because "My Way" would just torture the audience that much longer.

And it also seemed to be tradition, when invited to a "Snack" bar with a karaoke machine, that the Japanese host shoves the American up to the mike along with his daughter to sing "Yesterday" duet, which to me was bizarre because I thought the whole point of those bars were for Japanese men to get away from their family altogether. As cute as they were, it was something I could have done without. What do I know?

Butcha see, this is the advantage of Cafe SETI. Nobody sings off-key here, as far as anyone else knows...

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it myyyyyyyy waaaaaaaaaay!

You're right! And don't call me "Butcha". ;-P

&#x266a; You shut your mouth / How can you say / I go about things the wrong way?
I am Human / and I need to be lo-o-oved / Just like everybody else does.
&#x266b;


&#x266c;When you say it's gonna happen now / Well, when exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited to lo-o-ong / and all my hope is gone.

Hmm, I never really listened to them that much before. Dunno, they just seemed to be one of those glossy chart bands to me. The closest thing that I'll listen to is Audioslave or MAYBE Pod.
