let’s mock the dj.
One night back in 1999 myself, Jaime (better known as the ineffable and unknowable jmorrison to readers of this site), and sometime commenter and poster at the nonist James Rizzi, went to what was then our local watering hole, the now venerable, but then newly minted, Enid’s in Greenpoint; The original proto-hipster bar in a sea of polish owned and operated shitholes who would sooner slit our throats than serve us. Enid’s one drawback, in our minds, was the quality of their DJ’s. They always seemed to be some lanky, music-nerd, douchebag, with a stupid name who would play the most godawful shite for 3 hour blocks before giving it over to the next skinny jerk who would continue the trend of playing terrible music almost indistinguishable from his predecessor both in appearance and in choice of a playlist.
Usually what we did at enids (besides drink obviously) was draw on cocktail napkins or in my sketchbook, however, on this night we started making a list of the worst and/or funniest DJ names we could come up with. This went on for the entire evening. At one point we were joined by Brooklyn’s own ms. lola belle who also began to contribute names to the list and who was, after several drinks, perhaps trying to get one of our triumvirate to go home with her that night (or who was perhaps just flirting via made up DJ names). this changed the dynamic of the list considerably as one of our trio disliked her intensely, one of us (perhaps the object of her woo even) had a girlfriend and was trying to play it straight, and one of us was just pathetically, intensely, jealous because someone else was getting attention from a hot girl. What started as a lark, a way to pass the time, became a 4 way window into our feelings, desires, ambitions, and failings which, in retrospect, is pretty pathetically transparent. So join me if you will for this little snapshot of a group of problem drinkers in their mid twenties trying to pass the time on a Saturday night. See if you can figure out when the whole thing went south.

what a whitty bunch of lads. a real barrel of monkeys out anti-socializing, huddled around a table and a candle. high on sugar’s brownish-green supply, i’d bet money. taking a break from playstation gaming and pbs watching. woah, we could rend the night in two!!!

haha. oh god. if we weren’t such drunkards back then this would almost certainly bring back fond memories. i remember enids well, even remember that night in an odd, foggy, kind of way, but i forgot the particulars of the list completely. there are a few i can pick out as my own because they sound like the silly kind of thing i’d say but in general they could have been written by any snide twenty somethings with a few too many pints under their belts. uniformly mean and hilarious. i agree with james… let the biting commence suckas.
