the candystick gogo funtimes bar
Pearls of wisdom and unexpected moments collected from the most unlikely place imaginable; The Candystick Gogo Funtimes Bar in Okinawa, Japan. Featuring regulars Damdam and Rahan, and select members of the bar staff; Kansas (the hot dark-haired bartender), Shamrock (the giant blond cherub-faced Buddhist bouncer), Minoru (the perpetually underwhelmed gogo boy), and Halcyon (the new serving girl).

En Garde!
Rahan - Hey, Stranger... where have you been?
Halcyon - My mother is in town.
Rahan - Are you going to bring her by so we can all feast on your misery?
Halcyon - My mother isn't miserable.
Rahan - Hmmm... where do you get it from then, I wonder?
Halcyon - My dad. Come to think of it, you totally remind me of him.
Silence.
Rahan - Touche.
Halycon - Out of my way, amateur.

Do Over! 3
Rahan - I don't know what the big stink is about, I kind of like the makeover.
Minoru - You're also blind in one eye. Did you notice how they installed a pole on my stage? I suppose that makes me a stripper now.
Rahan - The line between gogo boy and stripper is a blurry one indeed.
Minoru - Easy for you to say, One-Eye.
Rahan - Cram it, Stripper.
Damdam - Gear down, boys... it's all fun and games until someone loses an-
Silence.
Rahan - You were saying?
Damdam - Nothing.
Rahan - I do love it when you draw your advice from the personal experience well. How IS your lawn dart game these days?
Minoru - Wow, D. You're in an even bigger need of a do-over than the Candystick makeover. Impressive.

Do Over! 2
Shamrock - So... what do you think of the makeover?
Halcyon - I don't. You?
Shamrock - It makes me feel-
Halcyon - Angry?
Shamrock - Violated.
Halcyon - Not in the good way, I bet.
Shamrock - Even my calming Buddha mind is no match for the psychotic use of colour.
Halcyon - I don't. You?

Do Over!
Kansas on the hasty and unexpected Candystick Gogo Funtimes Bar renovation - They say misery loves company. Apparently, the other thing misery loves is a mediocre makeover.

Love is Blind?
Minoru on last night's blind date - I've been thinking about him all day... which is weird because all I usually think about is me.

Work Daze
Halcyon - When Mondays are this good, you start to feel bad for the other days of the week. I mean... how can they possibly compete?
Shamrock - Ah sarcasm... 'the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.' Dostoevsky.
Halcyon - 'A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.' Buddha.
Silence.
Shamrock - I should have seen that coming.
Halcyon - A mile away.
