You may recognize me from such roles as 'guy in a bar' and 'dude with glass half-full'... but I want to switch gears and do a bit of writing about guys in bars and dudes with glasses half full. It's Friday the 13th, and I have a killer NFT giveaway for y'all.
So don't fret, my pets... it's almost over and you haven't been dismembered by a masked psychopath yet. I'd chalk that up in the WIN column and call it a day.
But wait! It's still Friday in my neck of the Canadian woods... and I have an #NFT to give away.
Minted on HiveMeme.
The Current PUBS Community Face!
It took me a while to find this community here on #Hive, but I think it's essential that we have loose and fun places like this to hang out at once in a while. Much of life smacks far too much of effort and commitment. That's where pubs come in handy!
Places "where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came".
Sure, it helps that we basically wear name-tags... but Sam, Frasier and the gang ain't got nothin' on you Hive peeps! That's for damn sure. If you haven't already subscribed to THE PUBS COMMUNITY... what the hell are you waiting for?! Are your fingers broken?
SPOILER ALERT: You're going to need to be a Pubs subscriber anyway to be eligible to win the Pubs Face NFT. So there! (Muahahaha!)
Sorry... I get a bit carried away.
Pubs Make the World Go Round.
That's all I'm saying! I used to love going to my local pubs for a pint and some grub, but I honestly haven't done much (or any) of that since the world tossed its marbles asunder. I need to start turning that around!
Because there's something about the atmosphere in these places-- when done right-- that makes me feel more comfortable than any restaurant. A great pub should have a casual, clean feel... but not too clean! You don't want to feel restrained, like it's too nice to touch. You know what I mean?
And I'm a food lover first, to be honest... so my ideal pub will have amazing food, even if it's just appetizers and smaller dishes. I don't need anything too special when it comes to drink service, but I do like to see local beers, wines and distilled things being promoted.
Wherever you are, I think local is worth supporting if the products are good.
That's why we need to support our Hive communities!
And that's why I jumped at the chance to show my support when @forykw came calling... I worked on a graphic for the new community face, and he graciously walked me through the #HiveMeme NFT minting process. It was a breeze in the end!
So I'm Paying It Forward.
I'm giving away issue #2 of my first ever NFT to one lucky subscriber. There are only three issues in existence... #3 belongs to @atexoras.pub (c/o @forykw) and #1 belongs to me. I will be holding on to one issue of each NFT I make.
So the winner will be the only other owner of this NFT. Pretty sweet, right? And it's also my first ever #giveaway here on Hive... I'm starting to get the warm-and-fuzzies about the whole thing (sob).
But let's digress together and talk about what you need to do...
Here Are the Rules:
#1: Don't talk about Fight Club.
#2: Laugh at all my jokes, damn it.
#3: You must be a PUBS COMMUNITY subscriber.
#4: Follow me here on Hive.
#5: Follow the merch account, @smartalectees! 😊 (Updates incoming.)
#6: Leave a comment below answering this question: what would make a pub PERFECT in your opinion, and how would you rate your local watering hole (out of ten)?
#7: Upvotes and Rehives are appreciated. (But optional.)
Sheesh... that seems like a lot of rules, now that I've laid it all out!
But I think it's all quite reasonable, and I'm the one with the golden ticket here... which in fact pales in comparison to this magnificent #NFT which will be inevitably bestowed upon a worthy pub-trotter.
Behold... once more, for good measure:
Minted on HiveMeme.
Sigh. Like I said... magnificent.
Overstating, You Say?
Too back-patty? Horn-tooty?
Yes, yes... I'm kidding. Of course I'm playing around... and you should know that I usually keep my tongue tucked comfortably in my cheek, ready for action. lol
But I like it... and it could be yours. The winner will be chosen by me seven days from now-- just after this post pays out-- based on the quality of the comment (for those who check all the rule boxes). No pressure, but I will only consider those which answer the question I asked. Extra points for originality! #Humor never hurts either.
That's it from me though...
my story, as they say, and I'm sticking to it.
Very good mate, very very good. And thank you so much for your support!
It does indeed help around to be positive and build on top of things. Especially in these times when things look like crashing all over the place, which is when I tell people to "not freak out" and instead either go to the Pub and watch the news or simply invest if you can because it's on the going down that you should be thinking about the "when this goes up" moment.
Anyhow, enjoying the weekend here... with some !WINE and !BEER, playing games (I know have !PGM too) and again, huge thanks for all !LUV and motivation on staying !ALIVE on HIVE.
Ah, forgot about this one !LOL
To be able to pay for drinks in $HIVE, $HBD or any HIVE-Engine tokens directly of course! That would be crazy awesome... my preferred stuff is still very old Pubs and stuff like that. I love a good history of things in general.
It's totally my pleasure! You're right: things have been looking GRIM out there-- and I've had to pull my hair out, add liquidity and what have you to stay afloat myself-- but again: that's what pubs are for. 😏
And your answer is SO GOOD! I wonder if there are any bars with @hivepay-io in their payment tool kit? That really would be awesome.
Do you want to be eligible to win though, @forykw, or are you just participating to get the ball rolling? Serious question. 🤔
Thanks so much for all those tips... not necessary, but always appreciated for sure. Cheers! Enjoy your #weekend, and watching the markets rebound. :)
!LUV !PIZZA !LOL

I am out of the win =) but thanks for asking. This was just my honest answer. By the way (just for clarification), the idea of the ATX Pub is that its not mine. I am just managing it and I am the creator, but I don't consider things on there mine... its all owned by the community (a few exceptions but I always mention those, like the DEC on the liquidity pool of BEE:DEC).
If one day things go very badly (hopefully not), the idea will be to ask the community who wants to take over or if there are no pretenders, I will just distribute everything equally to everyone that has participated in it. Done.
I am not there to try some weird game =) not interested... I have plenty already to entertain myself with. like LUNA drama for example !LOL
Anyhow, I hope the best wins that drawing, because it's really good. And I love to play with tokens... they have some special meaning for me when they can be used on sentences. More or like emojis... in some sense...
Anyhow, one last thing to do is to go check twitter and make sure people know about this giveaway. Se yaaaa

Right! I almost forgot to share it to Twitter... but I've already gotten way more attention than usual. Thanks again for sharing it, bro. 🙏
I'm sorry for the multiple notifications too! I didn't realize each edit prompts a new tag notification. (Could that be fixed for with a fork? 🧐)
And I should've probably tagged your forkyishere account instead of this one, I realize. Sigh. So many little things. !LOL

Its a UI thing... UIs can implement an option for that to notify users or not... or even to notify just the 1st time. Good point... shout about it on your preferred UI discord channel or something. Many features get implemented like this.
I don't worry about notifications. ;)
That makes sense... I use Peakd for most of my Hive activity.
Shared to Twitter. Thanks, dude. 💪

!PIZZA is on me... gotta !LUV community.
But do you want to enter the giveaway? I wish you would! It would make me ever so happy. !LOL
Ok. You can count me in. :)
So what makes a pub the best, in your opinion... and is there a local pub you go to that you can give a score out of ten?
There are rules outlined in the post. ☝️ :)
We never go to places like pub. So any pub would be score 10 as I would love to visit one. Also I would like the pub to be were non of relatives can see hehe xD
And I will not drink ofcourse, I will just see how it looks like.
Oh I see! Well, pubs have juice cocktails too, and coffee, sodas, etc... and the best pub should have amazing food, as I said. So don't judge a book by its cover and visit the best one around you. 😎 !LOL
Are you a subscriber to the PUBS COMMUNITY at least? You can get the virtual experience and meet new people! :)
We don't have a concept of pub in Pakistan
