No boobies...*sigh*
So last night was Fat Tuesday in Murray Hill. Normally Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras bring about lots of laughter, loud music, jovial crowds and plenty o'beads on 3rd Avenue. However, last night 3rd Avenue resembled Main Street in a deserted mining town. If you listen closely, you could actually hear the tumbleweeds rolling across the street. It was that quiet. I'm not sure if it was due to the post-Super Bowl blues, or if it was the fact that it came so early this year that people forgot about it; I have to say in my 10+ years in Murray Hill I have never experienced such a quiet Mardi Gras. (I guess I should have taken it as a sign that the real Mardi Gras in New Orleans experienced it's smallest turnout in history....)
That being said, here are some tidbits that stood out at Third & Long last night:
1) A young lady was overheard wishing a group of Asian customers a "Happy Chinese New Year". When a gentleman asked if it was the Year of the Chicken, she replied "No silly, it's the Year of the Cock!"....I guess you had to be there for that one. 2)A not so-young fair-haired female customer attempting to sexy-dance on the tables in the back of the bar, only to have all of the male customers walk away...ouch! 3)A rather frumpy hobbit-looking frau getting upset b/c no one wanted to give her beads for flashing her flapjacks...and finally, there were more man boobs exposed than girl boobs. Rather pathetic I must say. *sigh*
Now that Mardi Gras has crawled away with a wimper, Valentine's Day is upon us. What are your plans for that "wonderful" day? And if you are single, what do you do when that day comes around? Do you go out and drown your sorrows? How do you deal? Leave a comment and let's compare notes! That's it for today. I actually have a life today. Go figure!
NUFF SAID!
