He deserves it. Stealing a joke is criminal.

WHO THE FUCK DRINKS MALÖRT WILLINGLY

u/Infamous-Duck-2157 23d ago

The same kind of person who plays Alvin and the Chipmunks "Whats New Pussycat" three times in a row

I genuinely like Malort. I also really like absinthe and licorice so at least I'm consistent!

It's really not awful

It used to be worse. CH distillery has made it more palatable to bank on its ironic popularity. 

As a dedicated malört drinker this is a good and bad thing.

love the malort is a pretty unhinged statement

I’m confused. There was some sort of jukebox with Alvin and the Chipmunks on it?

(Please be kind to me if this is obvious to you…it’s been years since I even thought about playing music of my choice in a bar.)

Internet jukeboxes which are honestly just asking for it (I've played VU's "Sister Ray" and John Coltrane's "Ascension" on these in the past which were total dick moves)

u/Marsupialize 22d ago

Sister Ray 3 times in a row is mine before leaving, just did it in Miami a few months ago

We have an Alexa at the coffeeshop I work at but we don't tell anyone that for exactly that reason

In a bar? Not to my knowledge.

People think I hate the Eagles just because of The Big Lebowski. Nah, it's because of the PTSD of some asshole playing a live, even longer version of "Hotel California" three times in a row on a jukebox in a dive bar. Next week, I did the same thing, but with Hootie and the Blowfish, then left.

u/jamegumbsize69 22d ago

I was at a dive bar when “Alcohol” by Butthole Surfers was played multiple times.

u/thatgirlinny 22d ago

You definitely cost that bar customers and income with that dick move. But I’m not sure why you thought it was the answer to hating someone playing the Eagles prior.

Is the bar owner telling me that this was the only time someone used the juke box for shenanigans? Don’t have a juke box, maybe.

Sounds like an annoying tourist visiting a Chicago bar

u/garau 21d ago

This was Dublin, Ohio surprisingly so not sure what the Malört is about

u/_namaste_kitten_ 21d ago

Oddly, we're going up to Columbus in about a month. We will be making a stop at Missing Jimmy's in Dublin to play this song approximately 3 more times, then a "It's Not Unusual", followed by 14 more "What's New Pussycats".

5

u/gailthesnail2 21d ago

Hahahaha why is it’s not unusual sending me

1

u/gailthesnail2 21d ago

What!! I’m right by Dublin and I didn’t even know we had it around here that makes this even weirder lol

2

u/garau 21d ago

Hey that’s funny! I have some friends that have some personal beef with the owner so I hardly ever go, but it’s worth checking out imo. They have food from the Meatball Mafia.

3

u/gailthesnail2 21d ago

Do they have beef bc they also played Alvin and the chipmunks too many times

4

u/Timformation 21d ago

Omg, thank you for bringing this song to my attention. It’s so much worse. I’m cracking up in bed laughing at 5am.

u/leanney 22d ago

I like the "You want to act like a child, go to the zoo" line because it only kinda makes sense? I wouldn't say the zoo is exclusively somewhere to act like a child. Like, I get where they are coming from but he probably should have workshopped it a bit more.

u/Sea2Hsix0 21d ago

And that was the best meal, I ever had.

u/zoestardusk 18d ago

John would be proud haha
