What the worst thing you ever did at a Karaoke Bar?

The worst thing you can do when you go to a Karaoke bar is not sing.
I did just that.

I would say the worse thing i did at a karaoke bar was karaoke

there was a restaurant / pub across the street from my dorm in college that had karaoke every saturday night. this was a harsh mash up of local working class paper mill grunts and a bunch of pretentious digital media arts students.

we had more than a few really wrong moments, some of the standouts from back in '99

britney spears' 'hit me baby one more time' with death metal vocals.

patsy cline's 'crazy' as crooned by my friend jay while my friend andy and i slow danced for the amusement of the staff and the discomfort of the homophobes in the crowd. i'm built like a mop, 6'3", rail thin, hair down to my shoulders. my friend andy was about 5'2", quite a bit heavier than me, and balding.

but the absolute worse that happened at karaoke was the fact that my name is dave, same as a local who took his karaoke a bit too seriously (especially his michael jackson tunes). one fine drunken night jay is razzing me because i'm all half passed out in my chair and the MJ wannabe is getting pissed because he never considered the possibility of there being another dave in the room (there were at least 2 others on top of us)

so as our group left we noticed that a few others followed. as in the offended dave and a dozen local coke heads who had been recently barred from every other bar in town. so in order to teach my friend a lesson that Dave sucker punched him from behind and walked away - just to teach him a lesson - local style. then the cokeheads descended on him with boots.

it ended with a few bruises and a cokehead with a broken nose. stupid effing locals. they barred the cokeheads from the pub following the events but karaoke was never the same. we didn't bother crossing the street much after that anyway, cheaper to drink in the dorm.

I went to a Karaoke wake.

You shared the stage with the body.

It was the most tense I've ever been with a microphone.

I actually just made that up. Everyone else had a cool story and I wanted to play along also.

::sigh::

Alas though you have seen through my clever ruse.
