My friend, Joe, and I were down on South Side this past Saturday to figure out which bars he wanted to put on his “9- hole(bar) binge drinking birthday beer-golf-tour.” Walking around in 85 degree, 1000% humidity is not my ideal weekend, but whatever…it got me out of my apartment for a while. We were getting hungry so we decided to hit up Fat Heads. I had apparently forgotten how slow the service was and that the burgers were too sloppy to be worth the wait…
As soon as we are seated, Joe gets jeers from multiple directions about his shirt. I hadn’t even sat down and he had two different conversations simultaneously between juxtaposed tables. It’s amazing the reaction my friend gets from people in Pittsburgh from his shirt. We were at the Pirates game last weekend, and I bet I heard 200 different comments in the span of an hour on just the first level of the stadium alone…
Is this shirt racial in its theme? Does it reflect racial undertones? The ACLU seems to think so. I, honestly, don’t know, though. Most people in Pittsburgh think it is funny. The old lady at Fat Heads wanted to know if there were other places to buy the shirt besides Geno’s in Philly.
Apparently, we have our own version of Geno’s in Pittsburgh – Cada D’Ice in North Versailles. They change their sign to regularly to reflect their own personal views on current affairs. Some of them are actually pretty funny. Some people might think they go too far. The same people probably didn’t vote for Bush and loathe Ann Coulter.
Oh well…I digress, Fat Heads sucks, and its pouring outside. The End.
