BRING IN THE REINFORCEMENTS.....

After fretting over my arch-nemesis JERRY the last couple of days, I got a tip from one of my close colleagues, GOLDIE. Apparently back in the day when he lived in the neighborhood, he had some issues with JERRY'S distant cousin, MICKEY. He tried the old stand bys, glue traps, old mechanical traps, etc. and nothing worked. Then he came across this new gadget called the RATZAPPER. It's an intimidating blue box-like thingamajig that works like the rat trap from hell. In a nutshell, you bait this blue box with some dry cat food, flick on the switch (it runs on 4 AA batteries), and simply sit back and wait. After a day or so, ZAP!!! JERRY gets the last surprise of his life. There's a red light that flashes when JERRY decides to check in for a quick meal and "checks out"..... Then you simply pick up the blue box and empty the contents of JERRY in the nearest wastebasket. GOLDIE says it was the best investment he ever made, so I am going to give it a shot. NUFF SAID on that.

In other news, Tuesday was a pretty smooth night as far as DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS goes; While it wasn't as hectic as past Tuesdays, it was pretty crowded nevertheless. And with the weather finally cooperating and giving us a respite from the humid madness, it made for a very smooth and comfortable night. There were a few small groups of interns wrapping up their summer gigs and celebrating the conclusion. Others were there with their colleagues hanging out for a cheap one after work. There were also quite a few hook-ups taking place. Much more in-your-face hooking-up than normal. At one point there had to be at least six different couples sucking face and groping orifaces throughout the bar. Pretty funny stuff. Oh, and I also bought a paperback book from a struggling author. Check out the title: A 40 POINT GUIDE TO PEEING IN NEW YORK by Ray Tempus. I shit you not. It's a cute, amusing how-to pamphlet on how to take a piss when there's no bathroom available.... Oh well, consider it doing my part for helping out the struggling artists of the world. Outside of that, not much to report.

Tonight is IPOD NIGHT, with $3 HEINEKEN/AMSTEL LIGHT drafts and $5 MIXED WELL DRINKS for the ladies all night long. For every pint of AMSTEL/HEINEKEN you purchase, you will receive a raffle ticket towards a drawing for a pair of pre-season NEW YORK JETS vs MINNESOTA VIKINGS tickets for this Friday night at the Meadowlands. So stop by, crank out some tunes, down some pints and if you are lucky, win some tickets!

I'm off to bed. Catch you soon. Holla!

i would totally buy a book on where to pee in ny...when i first moved here and found that you usually had to buy something to be able to use the restroom (and i was piss poor - pardon the pun) i used to tell people i was pregnant in order to get them to let me use the bathroom.

i can't believe you're going to electrocute jerry! that's pretty cold hearted, swandad. my evil man-hating cat's still available, if'n you change your mind.

(though you do get redemptive points for helping a struggling artist)
