what do you mean you've never heard of slapstick?

[reflectingxlight]

Having long hair again is the weirdest feeling. But the great thing about it is that it confuses the hell out of people because they don’t recognize me anymore.

[punnyabel]

Oh my gawd, Marcy! I didn’t even notice that was you!

fckcalebrucci:

“it’s kind of funny their like us in a way but just old.” He laughed.”I’m glad i never spilled my feelings out when i was drunk, that would be bad since i hold so much inside, it’d be embarrassing.” 

Abel made a face, shaking his head. “Too old to discuss.” He let out a short laugh and gave Caleb a smirk. “You should never tell a bartender that you hold stuff inside, because we are experts at getting you to reveal your deepest, darkest secrets.”

dixoncalloway:

Dixon groans, “Janice.” then lets out a short laugh because he’s glad Abel gets who he’s talking about without much information. Though, that’s not surprising. “It’s either about her divorce or her cats. And I love cats as much as the next bartender, but come on.” 

He sticks a cherry on a toothpick and puts it into Abel’s drink. “Trust me, I get it, but if I drink I’m afraid the ‘stop’ button becomes more and more blurry as the night goes on. So more power to you.” 

Abel threw his head back, letting out a hearty laugh. “God, I love cats but I swear to god, if Janice brings up Mr. Cuddles one more fucking time, I’m gonna go ape shit on her!”

Abel shrugged, looking around to make sure no one was looking their way before pulling out a baggie with three pre-rolled joints. “This is also a little of my medicine to get me through the night, if you’d like some?”

When your arms wrapped around me, you hugged the sad out of my soul.

alec-hartwell:

“Yeah, but remember the drama?” Alec laughed, reminiscing. Focusing on things that happened nearly a decade ago was a lot easier than talking about anything in his present life. “You thought Shane was going to be so mad at us because of Natalie and you set up that big meeting with all four of us and you had that fucking PowerPoint. Then it turned out Shane didn’t care at all, but you still made us sit through the rest of your presentation.”

“I worked hard on that! And Shane was a jerk and I resent everything about this insinuation!” Abel laughed, enjoying bickering with his best friend. He may not get to see Alec as often as he wanted, but he still held Alec as his best friend, his platonic soulmate. “It’s not my fault that I want everyone to be happy!”

iceydemons:

“Call it a women’s intuition. But let’s be real who doesn’t like their hair being complimented?” 

“No one likes their hair being complimented as much as me. When you spend your childhood without it, it becomes really important to you when you get it.” 

[punnyabel]

annanash:

“Yeah, yeah, blah, blah.” She teased him with a wave of her hand. “Just how man closet cases are in this town and to what degree? Do I have to do something bat shit to keep my title?” 

“No!” Abel quickly shouted, knowing that Annabel really would do something bat shit crazy. “I mean, uh, it’s not that bad, mostly just old guys who never got to experiment hitting on me and stuff. Nothing like severe. None of the guys offering to pay me for services like the ladies yet.”

[punnyabel]

chardaye:

“One weekend with just Immy every month?” Charlie repeated him with an amused smirk. “Sounds like free babysitting. Her heathen mother would be delighted.”

“Maybe it was a secret offer to let you and Jer have some couple-y time. Throw the little tyke in there too, it’s never too early to start education.” 

[punnyabel]

kendall-monroe:

“I mean, this girl was in New York while I was in college, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the same shit happened to me in high school. And since you were sloshed I won’t judge you for liking those fuckin’ biscuits.”

“Nah, it probably wasn’t you in high school. If I remember correctly, I think you hated me back then? And let me keep my lingo. I know it sounds weird hearing Valley Girl come out of a fully grown Southern man, but just let me live.”

wilsonjonah:

Jonah sighed at the fact that Abel was planning on staying until closing. She wanted him as far away from her as possible. It was already difficult to work without thinking of Melody. They were always working together, Jonah had trained her, but everything was all different now and having Abel around wasn’t helping her erase her best friend from her mind. “You sure? You don’t have any plans?” she asked as she began putting the box away, then went back to the registers. “I mean you’re pretty keen on drinking, right? No bar tonight? I’m surprised you’re not drunk right now.”

Abel couldn’t help but shake his head. Leave it to Jonah to be the only observant person in town, and the only one who seemed to be connecting the dots. Still, he figured it’d be best to pretend he had no idea what she was talking about. “I work in a bar, so the bar scene isn’t really my scene.” He lied, looking through some vinyls so he wouldn’t have to look at her. He paused for a moment before sighing. “I just kinda wanted to be by a friend. But if you’re too busy, I can leave you alone.” 

[punnyabel]

fckcalebrucci:

“Ew.” He made a face.” Who wants to hear about old people banging.” He laughed and shook his head.” I thought you were talking about one of us clearly i was mistaken, gross as hell.” He made another face.”You drink to have fun not make in a soap opera.” 

Abel shook his head, laughing at the face Caleb made. “Yeah, exactly! It’s gross and no one cares about it except them.” He nodded, holding up his glass. “I’ll toast to that!”

[punnyabel]

wilsonjonah:

“Yeah, great, that’s great,” Jonah made no eye contact with Abel as she rummaged through a box of records. “I really don’t care for small talk,” she added as she pulled out the vinyl she was looking for and handed it over to him. “So, you got the record you needed anything else? ‘Cause I have to close up the store and you’re putting me behind schedule.”

Abel’s smile fell a little at her response, and the cold feeling he got from her. It had been this way since Mel, and all Abel wanted was to connect with Jonah. “No, I don’t want to keep you from your job. I’ll just browse around until you need me out.” 

[punnyabel]

annanash:

“Uuugh, you know I hate when you say stuff like that.” She whined and tried to hide a smile. It definitely made it harder to lie to him about her staying sober when he continuously told her how proud he was and how well she was doing. Every time he did it felt like a part of her was dying inside. “Off the charts by your standards, maybe. I always had control but you and marcy insisted.” She nearly choked on her coffee when he threw a classic Tina Belcher line at her. “Damn, Tina. Do yo’ thang.” She laughed and snapped her fingers. “Work it.” 

Abel rolled his eyes, shaking his head at Annabel. “Babe, don’t make me spout biology shit at you. Remember, I took a full year of just biology classes, I can tell you about the reason why these things are addictive.” Abel laughed, glad to be around someone who understood his jokes. “I will say, it works for the closet cases here as well.” 

[punnyabel]

kendall-monroe:

“Shit, people get weird when you add alcohol. There was this girl back in school who got wasted and then just perfectly recited her entire credit card info so that I’d buy her a cheeseburger.”

“Are you sure that was a girl and not me? Because I definitely feel like I made someone buy me a boberry biscuit while completely sloshed in high school.”

[punnyabel]

jcremyband:

Immy likes that one but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it through. Can you believe I’ve seen Disney movies? Like who am I? I’m supposed to be cursing people out. I’m not getting old, my kids make me feel younger. She’s still fragile or whatever but she’s not as fragile if that makes you feel less nervous. Awesome, you gotta see our little dude too.

Honestly, yeah. You struck me as someone who had always been a closet Disney fanatic when we were in high school. I feel old. I’m a bartender and I get hangovers so quickly now. I had like half a bottle of champagne with one of the patrons the other day, and I woke up so fucking hungover. Yeah, I need to see him too, educate him and Immy about movies early on. 

[punnyabel]

chardaye:

“Oh! My grandpa used to watch that show. The lady from the Jenny Craig commercials is in it!”

“You need to just make sure I have one weekend with Immy every month so she knows good movies and shows, and doesn’t end up like her heathen mother and refer to my Lord and Savior, Kirstie Alley as the lady from Jenny Craig.” 

[punnyabel]

fckcalebrucci:

He laughed.” wow, so what’s the scoop? anything really interesting? Do tell.” He wanted to know the gossip.”That’s why i really don’t get drunk when i’m stressed out.” 

Abel rolled his eyes with a smile. “Nothing major, just like who’s doing who and all that. But it’s all the old people, not us youngin’s.” He shook his head, shuddering at the mental picture Janice had painted for him earlier. “Yeah, people blab a lot here. I tend to just enjoy myself when I’m drunk though. Why spill all my secrets, you know?”
