Count Chris Bailey among those that can’t seem to leave work at work. Bailey took to loudly forecasting partly clouded judgement as he attempted to win Bill Meck-like affection from the crowd at Shamrocks Tuesday evening.
“It looks like we’re going to see some partly clouded judgement with scattered hangovers in the morning,” Bailey shouted to the crowd as he raised his glass. The crowd was moderately annoyed with the shouting of Lexington’s second most charismatic weatherman but they loosened up when Bailey offered to buy a round for everyone.
“It was like he really wanted us to like him,” said Shamrocks regular Frank O’Sullivan. “He came up and shouted in my ear, ‘hey man drink this.’ I said I didn’t really want to and he said ‘that’s cool man, it’s a low pressure system, no worries. Then a few drinks later he went over to my wife and said ‘hey I’ve reached my dew point baby, you know, the point where I’ll DEW anything’ then he fell off the stool laughing at his own joke. Then he bought the whole bar some more drinks, everything after that is pretty foggy. Crap, now I’m doing the weather puns.”
The night ended for Bailey after a few more drinks, bartender Brian McShane took the keys to what ended up being Bailey’s moped and called his mother Barbara to come pick him up. “Everything was pretty normal after that, his mom came and picked him up around 8:45 and everyone got back to having a good time.”
