Midget Wrestling

So last night at work the show was "Half Pint Brawlers," who apparently now have a TV show on Spike TV (not shocking). Did I mention this exact show happened at The Big Easy maybe 2 months ago (before I started working there)? Guess those little dudes just can't keep their hands off each other..or people in the Northwest love "watching midgets bleed" (that was the tagline of the night which actually was fulfilled). One of my favorite parts was the comic they got to waste time between matches - how else can they spread out about 30 minutes of entertainment into 3 hours? Poor guy whose name I forget..he received what I think that was the worst heckling I've seen in real life. He claimed he would remember the night forever, even if he played Carnegie Hall someday. I felt special to witness that. The crowd booed and chanted "Mid-gets!" whenever he got onstage, then started telling him to flash his wiener or take off his shirt - which by the way he eventually did (just the shirt, no pants). Man, he was a good sport, I'll give him that, even though he wasn't that funny.
Anyway...the main event! By this time most of my customers with tabs had left out of boredom so I could actually watch the show. I know one midget was named Puppet, he fought some hispanic midget wearing leopard spandex. They did the usual jumping on each other and hitting each other over the head with giant cookie sheets. Or maybe they just looked giant compared to the midgets haha. Then you know, started stapling dollar bills to each other using a staplegun and industrial staples. The leopard spandex dude got one in the forehead!! I was actually laughing pretty hard at this point. They proceeded to go start taking jager shots and jumping off the bar. Party! I was home by 10:45 pm. Tonight: the Senior Prom. As in geriatric seniors...should be a late one!
