There is no question that TV's and bars, pubs or whatever you want to call it DO NOT MIX. If you want to watch TV and drink get your buddies and go home out of it!!! Don't tell me that its not the same at home because the bar is a social scene. Your are not being social when your eyes glaze and mouth hangs open as you stare at the program. IT is not being "social" when you look at someone and say, "did you see that?"

The reality is that they are there, those evil bastards! When I am playing somewhere it does not bother me if people are not listening because they are in conversation.
But if they are just sitting there watching that God Damn Box!!!! Drives me bonkers!
