"That Guy" of the Month

"That Guy" for October is Timmy Chorizo

This guy is usually way too ridiculous for whatever your doing for the night and is remembered as only that guy. He may have got in a fight with a bouncer twice his size or danced with every girl in sight no matter their work quality. He may have consistently yelled the whole night for no apparent reason or thrown up gang signs in every picture taken. No matter what it is he does in particular you will always remember him as "That Guy".

The pick for the month of October is Timmy Chorizo. Chorizo clearly showed "That Guy" qualities with a shirt implying his dick was made of chorizo and that if any girls would like to partake in some free samples he was game. Pure class all the way with Timmy. So heres to you Timmy Chorizo, we here at the Standard are happy to name you the first "That Guy" of the Jump Off Standard.

Transformers are Real


Hey everyone!!! My names Mikey and Im a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I moved back to Southern California over a month ago to try to figure out what Im going to do with my life. Before I moved to so-cal I was a popular promoter in San Francisco.. so I thought. I would go go out to any club and receive VIP service without a question. We could go from bar to bar to bar to bar to club to bar to club to bar to club to club in a few hours. We would spend close to nothing on cover charges and drinks. I guess most of the money was spent on Taxi rides and midnight snacks. Some of my friends even went to the extra mile and ended up getting messages from those special places in the deep and dark crack central of a tenderloin. I never participated mainly because something about the Aids epidemic.. have you heard of it? Down here I haven't even hard about any happy ending spots. I barely hear about the party. I work as a bartender in Laguna at the newest club in the area and the party aint so great. 
So last night I met up with some of my boys and we decided to go for a night out on the town. The night first started in Irvine where, we all met up and had a tall glass of Evan Williams and Coke. Now Evan Williams might not show up on your Whisky Radar but let me tell you for a handle for $10 out the door you cant do any better. We made it over to this bar at the District in Tustin called The Auld Dubliner. It reminded me of a wanna be dive irish bar that had way too expensive drinks.. but amazing looking Jerrys that soon became Joeys that became Josephs. I was Shia Lebouf in the epic Transformers Movie.. and all the women were shifting right before my eyes. Soon after 3 Guinesses I noticed that a ring was gone. I looked all over the bar and then I found the most amazing Joseph in the world... could this be reality? And the first words that came out of my mouth were, "Have you seen my ring?" AHHHHHHH!!! It was over.. I proved to this Joseph that my ring was way more important than realizing her existence. 
A word to the wise... never ever ever get drunk at the Dub in Tustin and start a convo with " I lost $%&^*^%$!!!!" Cause your not just gonna loose that.. your gonna loose your only opening for that Joseph that was a Joey that was a Jerry. I wish I would have closed the deal so that I could see her transform back to a Jerry. Halloween could have came early this year for me. I guess Ill have to wait until Friday.

Party of the Week

The Party of the week for October 31st is the Halloween Masquerade Ball at the St. Francis

Halloween is just around the corner and I'm sure everyone is as pumped as us here at the Standard...why are we so pumped you ask? Girls in slutty costumes and a shit load of candy...do we need to say anything more?

Their are a bevy of parties going on this week, but the Standard has chosen the Halloween Masquerade Ball at the Westin St. Francis as the party of the week.

It was a long grueling process of 5 minutes debating which party to pick, but after noticing the Standard had 20 messages on Facebook from 4 different promoters for the St. Francis party we decided it was hands down the winner. A close second was Trick or Treat at Slide hosted by Michael Fitz.




Work Scale: There will be a strong showing of Joeys for sure, but the Jerrys will be so done up in costume I'm sure you won't be able to tell.
Possibility of you getting some: High
Address: 335 Powell st.(Union Square), San Francisco, CA
When: Ocotber 31st, Starting at 8:00 PM
Ticket Info: http://store.alistsf.com/hgenmuna08.html (MuNa Promotions)
For more info on either party you can comment on this post with your email and the Standard will send you any info you need.

This is pure hilariousness.

Comedy Scale: Legend

Bar of the Month

The Bar of the Month for October is Irish House



Bar Description: Johnny Foley's Irish House is a replication of some of the authentic elements that make the great pubs of Ireland truly unique. Born of painstaking attention to decorative detail and insistence on true craftsmanship, Johnny Foley's Irish House recalls the days when it was as vital to please the eye as the palette. Such pubs were usually found in the busier urban areas where patrons found solace away from the general hustle and bustle of city life or enjoyed a lively evening with friends in a convivial atmosphere. It was customary to find a series of "snugs" (small separately enclosed areas), within the traditional openness of these urban pubs.

Crowd: Tends to be an older crowd as the bar is located in the heart of tourist-ville downtown, but with a group it can be legend.

Frateyness Scale: 6

Work Scale: The bar is a good mix of Joeys and Jerrys, but the cougars are rampant so don't be discouraged at first as all it takes is a couple shots to make this the bar of the night.

Address: 243 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

Liquor of the Month

The Liquor of the Month for October is Tanqueray Rangpur



Over the last 175 years Tanqueray has produced some of the best gins available. Their classic London Dry Gin can be set as a benchmark for real gin and the super-premium No. 10 with its citrus undertones redefined the Martini. Now, Tanqueray Rangpur hits another mark and adds to the brand's flavor portfolio. Tanqueray Rangpur is one of a new generation of gins that are competing with the large flavored vodka market, but with a style of it's own that clearly sets it apart.

For a Gin with a little twist of lime flavor, the Jump Off Standard recommends Tanqueray Rangpur. We here at the Standard enjoy it straight on the rocks. The drink allows others to know you drink with class and that your not just another college kid ordering a Jager Bomb. So next time your at the bar, The Standard recommends ordering a Rangpur hold the tonic.



The Tuck In Question

To Tuck In or To Not Tuck In

Now I have recentley been sporting the tuck in look and getting mixed feedback. Some think its too formal to tuck in, but in my opinion its based on what you are wearing not on the situation. If you are wearing a button down I would say go with the tuck in. It offers a much cleaner look especially with a nice belt. If you are wearing a t shirt or v neck I would go agaisnt the tuck in as you definetly will look much more computer nerd than suave.
