*GRADS, CADS, AND FADS....*

Last night turned out to be a pretty busy Monday night; busier than normal. For starters, we had a lot of graduates out celebrating the end of academia as we know it; from the students of Hofstra Law School, to the rather cute NYU Dental School students celebrating their last exams, de-stressing seemed to be the order of the day for these soon-to-be grads. And de-stress they did. Mugs were flowing fast and furious, while bump and grind dancing was the order of the day.

Of course, Dollar Drafts Madness wouldn't live up to it's billing unless you had a couple of cads trying to demonstrate their proficiency w/beer muscles. A couple of close calls with guys trying to prove their machoness in front of the girls. Nothing of significance to report there. And we can't forget the Cad of cads, who's slowly turning into a closet stalker w/ one of my beautiful barmaids; it seems that he keeps calling the bar to ask this girl out, only to be rebuffed at every turn. Now at some point, you gotta look at the writing on the wall and say to yourself, "self, this ain't happenin- let me move on"....apparently he hasn't gotten that memo yet. (Where is your sense of pride, my friend?) I think after the tongue lashing she gave him last night, if he doesn't get it this time, it's time to get an order of protection....

And of course, fads....first it was the Striped Shirt. If you've been reading the blog, you know where I stand on this. Now out of blue and posing a serious challenge to the annoyance level of the Striped Shirt- the ill-fitting, pastel colors of the Lacoste/Izod/Ecko Polo Shirt (with the colllar up, no less). It's bad enough that you are trying to pull back the clock to the 1980's, where Muffy, Dean and Biff ruled the roost. But at least recognize the fact that if you haven't dusted off your Crunch membership card in 8 months, then the ill-fitted shirt look isn't the way to go.

So with various little snafus that usually makes life miserable for the Swanfather aside, Monday night turned out to be pretty good. We got out later than normal for a Monday, which would happen since yours truly is working a double today. So on that note, I must bid you adieu.

Dollar Draft Madness continues tonight.

We've got to prevent Hasselhoff from making any sort of comeback here in the States (let the Germans keep him), so please ban the Members Only jackets from the bar.
