today i was at hurricanes when a guy who was really nervous to sing karaoke got up and performed coldplay's "the scientist," hitting a few notes here and there and really trying his best. my friend and i decided his efforts deserved some appreciation and told our server we'd like to buy him a shot. about 15 minutes later, a girl who i recognized as a karaoke regular (she had performed a version of bush's "swallowed" earlier in the night that was a little too good) came over to our table and profusely thanked us for the shot. we nodded and said you're welcome and tried to make it seem like yeah, sure, why wouldn't the shot have been for you.
