Karaoke anyone?

ohp · 26th December 2006, 04:07 PM

There's something appealing about being thousads of miles from anybody who you might not want to look foolish in front of.

That said. I'll probably still not pluck up enough courage to sing in front of other people.

I was going to do karaoke, but I decided to poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick instead.

Pirate_Lad · 26th December 2006, 07:43 PM

I'm so down for karaoke, you don't even know. It gets the chicks hot.

alfaniner · 26th December 2006, 10:54 PM

I've been through Marine Corps Boot Camp, Black Belt testing, et al, and doing karaoke the first time is still one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I have done it a few times since. I can carry a tune well enough, but I applaud those that get up there and make a real effort, no matter how they sound.

And you are not allowed to criticize the singer unless you've actually done it yourself!

ohp · 27th December 2006, 01:34 AM

Apparently there is Karaoke on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

I'll also bring a sharp stick.

rebecca · 27th December 2006, 04:25 AM

Depending upon the amount of booze present and the amount of free time I have, I'd be up for it. Not necessarily the singing, but the supporting/mocking.

ohp · 27th December 2006, 06:20 AM

When you sing, you will be issued with a ticket. This will entitle you to 15 minutes of mocking. Should you mock beyond this period, you will have to sing "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush, with all of the appropriate dance movements.

For those of you too young or distant to be familair with the piece:

I won't need the stick, because I won't be within 100 yards of the "singing".

KingMerv00 · 27th December 2006, 07:05 AM

Shouldn't this be merged with the Pub Crawl?

Overman · 27th December 2006, 07:45 AM

I drop a pretty mean 'Rubber Biscut' that usually ends up with me doing 4 or 5 free shots afterward.

ohp · 27th December 2006, 07:50 AM

I can do most Tom Jones and Bill withers tracks. Anything baritone basically.

oh, and Crash test dummies. I can just about manage that low.

a.real.girl · 27th December 2006, 10:53 AM

oohhhhh, karaoke. I heart karaoke. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't need any prompting to karaoke...

mumchup · 27th December 2006, 06:42 PM

Jeez.... Here's MORE cool stuff I'll be missing!

TobiasTheViking · 29th December 2006, 09:12 AM

Karaoke is the lowest form of comedy.

mumchup · 29th December 2006, 11:20 AM

You got a problem with low forms of comedy?

And yet, I would rather get the hot chicks ...

TobiasTheViking · 1st January 2007, 11:36 AM

Karaoke is the lowest form of entertainment.

JUST SAY NO.

slipknotmcfadden · 2nd January 2007, 11:45 AM

I'm in! I can whip out the Axl or the Kravitz.

mumchup · 2nd January 2007, 05:02 PM

I am in for karaoke on Thursday!!!!

mumchup · 16th January 2007, 04:25 PM

I wrote new, skepchick lyrics for the song Redneck Woman. (I have a VERY long commute, plenty of time to think about dumb s***) I am totally going to sing it at karaoke during TAM (unless I get too scared)

LostAngeles · 16th January 2007, 04:38 PM

Crap! I'm coming in Thursday night! What time is the kareoke planned?

mumchup · 16th January 2007, 05:27 PM

I don't know if a time is set. I'll go anytime tho'

MoeFaux · 16th January 2007, 08:08 PM

Hey, I have a regular Karaoke guy I've been singing with for 3 years. He sets up shop on Thursday night and goes till like 3am over at Dino's past the Stratosphere. The bartender is nice and it's really homey and fun...

mumchup · 17th January 2007, 04:55 PM

Then let's go, MoeFaux!
ohp, where is the karaoke you are planning to go to?

jpenn · 18th January 2007, 10:38 AM

This is my first tam. I came alone and don't know anyone here. Count me in for the karaoke. call my cell 732-859-7970. Or post a time and place to meet.

ohp · 18th January 2007, 02:45 PM

I suspect they don't do Karaoke at the riviera any more. I can't find any reference to it on the web site, and the bar where I thought they did it now appears to be under partial reconstruction.

If anyone has located an alternative venue, post to this thread!
