Now be fair, BlueMageOne. I know what you’re saying- you’d kill yourself because you’d suddenly be Canadian. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is almost Canada. Probably the Canadiest you can be while still being an American.
Wow, your totally nasty tone makes it hard to respond to what you said 
And I never said “nobody enjoys anything in bars cause they can’t hear”. I said I do.

Ohhh, so you were being a prick for the sake of being a prick. Gotcha.
But seriously, Hades wasn’t using an argument similar to yours. There was no point proven, especially considering he has, indeed, attempted to enjoy himself at a bar. If he had not attempted to do so, I would be calling shenanigans along with you.
At any rate, your type of “fun” seems extrodinarily dull to me. I’d rather have a stiumlating conversation with a friend alone until two or three in the morning than get bombed and go “woo” a lot.
Be nice, GAP.
…ahahaha just kidding, I’m fucking Hades.
I tried to enjoy myself at a theme park. Beats me why people have fun there since it works so actively against being social! There’s kids everywhere, you don’t get alcohol, the music is annoying and you can barely talk to each other in the roller coasters and stuff. It is actively trying to get you to feel sick with all the spinning and looping and candy and yet people go there all the time! I can’t believe such a place would be laid out for people to have fun. Thankfully you can have your fun in spite of being there, though I would prefer other options. Like bars and stuff. And large cardboard boxes. Those are a blast.
Every time Hades makes a new thread to tell us all we’re wrong about something, I feel like RPGC is one step closer to being returned to its former glory. Keep it up Hades. You’re a patriot and a god amongst mentally handicapped and sexually frustrated men.
Can’t stand regular nightclubs during regular weekends - Student parties are an exception, because all the jetsetter wannabes either non-existent or a minority. I’d like to walk around in a place without getting shouldered every three minutes for not being a) a celebrity b) rich c) a person that fills your social requirements for “a person”. Student parties make everyone pretty much equal, and you can go talk to anyone without the hassle of GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE IDIOT.
Pubs and beerhouses are an exception - I usually go there with enough people to get a table full and sample fine brews, play alias/munchkin/trivial and discuss worldly matters like the global depression, the last chapter of One Piece, that game of Battlefield 2 we played last night or if The Flash actually let Superman beat him in a footrace.
See? That’s a much better, and more relevant, satirical argument.
Riding a roller coaster and staring at a clock are two very different things hahaha
I guess I should re-emphasise that that was one experience among many. I dunno. It seems to be a different bar culture here than over there, since the overly loud music is usually confined to clubs/late bars (essentially just clubs with chairs).
As I said I go to the bars that are quiet which, contrary to what seems to be the case in Canada, or at least your specific area in Canada, is the norm for this city. Typically there will be music available at bars, but it never gets loud enough to make conversation difficult, except in bars which are essentially clubs.
The reasons I had fun at the pub because of the pub: it was a place to sit in extremely comfortable chairs, which were otherwise unavailable. Hell, those chairs were more comfortable than the one I’m sitting in while at home right now. 
(This is mainly a joke, I enjoy comfort but it doesn’t exactly make a night. Just improves it.)
It also meant I didn’t have to cause annoyance to any of my extended family by coming to crash at their place for a night or whatever, because I was hanging out with my friends and going back to a hostel which meant I had basically no worries.
The music was extremely well…fun. I mean, it was in no particular way amazing, nor was it deep or meaningful or unusual in any way other than it was just incredibly fun to listen to. It is not the kind of music I would listen to while at home. It was made more enjoyable again because my friends were listening to it as well and, though we weren’t always talking we could still increase each others enjoyment of the music with body language or crummy dancing or whatever. Again not something I do at home.
We were able to get up and dance extremely stupidly - we were, in fact, flailing at times - to the fun music for no reason other than doing so was actually fun, and watching each other do the same stuff made it more fun. The best was when we danced to “What is love? (baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more)”. We didn’t care who was looking at us in whatever way, we had our fun and laughed our asses off. So I guess this is a counterpoint as well to “Flailing around isn’t fun”, but that’s not intentional.
Also, every source you cited - yourself and your friends - are equally as anecdotal as anything I’ve heard from my friends who enjoy going out, or the times I enjoy going out. In fact, I’d suggest your own “observations” are at best equally likely to be incorrect as correct, so 50% of the time I’d suggest people you think aren’t enjoying themselves probably are. That is the weakest area of your argument because it is 100% an assumption that people are not enjoying themselves and that you are correct 100% of the time. Both of which are ridiculous.
I’m not going to claim bars are for everyone because clearly they aren’t. But it is equally unreasonable to suggest that everyone who goes to a bar doesn’t enjoy themselves.
It wasn’t that it was less social, it was that it was less conversational. It was social in a different manner, most of which was reliant on body language or…well I’ve discussed it above, basically, and I don’t feel like going through it again.
And really, you’ve answered your own question here. People go out to bars when they don’t want to interact with people deeply and meaningfully. Considering most people go out one or two nights out of seven, and most of the rest of the time is spent sober (okay, or recovering from a hangover but those people just don’t know when to stop :P) and reasonably often in deeper or more meaningful interaction, I don’t think it’s so outrageously hedonistic to choose one or two nights where you get to relax and enjoy social interaction on a different level.
Since the rest of this post replied mainly to do with arguments about “blah blah blah well I enjoy myself oh yeah well I don’t - FUCK YOU WITH A RAKE” I figure only the last paragraph I wrote really is important to the actual question you asked.
And yeah, last night was overly pissy. Sorry if you found it impossible to respond to Curtis. Headaches suck that way. D:
So has anyone else been turned away from a sushi bar due to a lack of a reservation?
Cavelcade, there’s too much there, I’m just not reading it >_>
Just read the last paragraph then, that’s the only one that matters. 
Screw it, c+p time

Okay I agree.
Okay then.
Woo?
I guess we should go to a bar to celebrate or something.
You should wrestle in feces to celebrate, what with all the shitwrangling in this thread.
How about we just shit on you, Mr shittyface?
