I had better check out Dolan’s, I thought to myself, my precious haunt from years ago, when I actually got into scraps locally. I still wander in for a nostalgic visit now and then, have my Crown Royal, and absorb the flow of memories.
I hauled into the back parking lot of Dolan’s Corner Bar in the morning, hoping to catch owner/bartender Jimmy finishing up his chores. “Nothing like the aroma of cases of empty beer bottles early in the morning” I offered to him as he is hauling out the last. For a guy who has been working as hard as he, he managed a wry smile as he wiped his brow and said “Hiya Linda, what brings you to this wonderful place at this time?”
“Well, you know those catfight pictures I gave you to display a few years ago, I have some more. You always tell me they are great conversation starters”. He nodded “Yup, everyone loves talking about them, and how you were quite the scrapper back then.” Of course, he got a glare, with the ‘back then’ remark, but I plowed on with my mission.
“You know, when I went over to Germany, I got into it with some cocky bitch in a beerhall. Here is a picture of how it ended” and I handed him a framed shot of a swarthy fleshed middle aged slut, wriggling her ass in the air, her pussy expecting something more. On her side, I was brightly smiling, having laid a dripping dildo on her. The caption read ‘Anne, a German bitch, after tangling with Dolan’s own Linda’. “Nothing like advertising your place, right James?” as he scanned the picture. “What is the other one, you were busy on that trip” he stated, only to be told that it should have a place of honor. The caption of the empty frame read ‘How Anne’s trip to America ended’.
A quizzical look on poor Jimmy’s face as he tried to figure out what this ‘picture’ is, when I tap his forehead to get his brain working. “James, for God’s sake, this bitch I beat is coming over and wants a rematch. And I want it here, I haven’t fought here in a long while, and you don’t even dust off my photos any more. Just pass the word, and after Ten O’clock on Sunday, lock the doors. You will make a killing, and I will completely humiliate this Kraut”.
“Lets go inside and make sure everything is set to go.” Having finished cleanup, we entered the ‘sparkling’ tavern from the rear, the lights seeming very dim in after the early morning sun. The first thing I noticed were two pics of this British whore Gina, of her lost fights with me, then one of that nasty Italian Renata in what was left of her hose, wallowing in defeat in front of a smiling me. Then, wrapping the gallery, a Scottish slut named Nancee, crawling off in defeat. Jim asks where I want the new ones, and I said to give them a place them right over the bar. In all the pictures, although the it was obvious I was unclothed, artful posing enabled the images of myself to be seen without embarrassment, unlike the pornographic depictions of my beaten foes.
Honestly, I remembered a brighter and happier place, but a lot of life has been lived at Dolan’s . In another age, I came here frequently. The long bar and brass rails still had a shine, and the two pool tables at the end of the main room stood ready for action. I mused that Anne might look interesting on one after I have laid her out and posed heron one of them. Jimmy and I agreed that we would be able to fight between the bar and the tables, in the space where they have ‘dance night’ or karaoke.
James piped up and said he has a video system installed, if I want it used. After thinking fora minute, I agree I look at the ‘battlefield’ and am actually quiet for a minute or two, wondering why Anne wants to do this. Bad enough to be humiliated in her own bar, but to be amidst strangers, hooting and laughing at her, something must be driving her. My musings about her end philosophically as I think ‘that is her problem’.
I am surprised at myself that I am revisiting my past, but when Anne contacted me, it triggered all sorts of memories. The two of us had done battle, a nasty filthy battle at ‘her bar’ and I left in triumph. I was proud of my victory, but I want those who knew me when I was younger to see me on top for one last time. This German woman, for all my trash talk, isn’t trash or a whore. She might even be my equal. That is what will make it so wonderful. Fighting and destroying my peer, in front of the old gang. I might be slumming, but will feel powerfully good.
