WEDNESDAYS...An undiscovered treat.

I got pressed into service last night because my regularly scheduled doorman was unable to work due to prior commitments. Normally I don't mind if I have to pitch in at a moment's notice, but because it was Wednesday and one of my rare scheduled nights off, I wasn't particularly excited about the prospects of sitting at the door all night long. One good thing about it (I thought), was that i'd get to catch up on some hockey, since it was MOLSON HOCKEY NIGHT and there would be plenty of games to watch.

Typically speaking, Wednesday nights is usually the slowest night of the week on the 3rd Avenue strip. I don't know if it's because it is in the middle of the work week and everyone is saving themselves for the end of the week, or the rush to get home to watch LOST or AMERICAN IDOL is too much to bear; In any case, I wasn't expecting anything big, that's for sure.

While my instincts were true in that we weren't swamped, imagine my surprise when I noticed that there were a lot of chicks hanging out. Not one or two here or there, but groups of four or five at a pop! And the funniest thing about it? They were bitching about it not having enough guys! Not enough guys at Third and Long, aka Testosterone Island! Talk about irony! In any case, there were plenty of eye candy to go around. Now i'm not sure if this is how it is every Wednesday, but if it's like this all the time, then I may have to start popping in more..... hmmmm...

STRANGE SIGHTINGS... Ever complain about your name? How cheezy it is, or not the right name you hoped for? Well, when you think about your name, keep in mind that there is always someone else worse off than you. Case in point: My roommate FRENCHY came across this name while riding in a cab the other night:



ASHFAQ BUTT. Imagine having that name? What do they call him? ASHY BUTT for short? MR. BUTT? Yo, BUTTFACE? That person must have been really tough growing up because you can bet he was in at least three fights a day, just for being picked on... Whoa! Consider yourself lucky!

I got an email yesterday asking if my TV had only two channels and the only thing that was on was Curling or NCAA Women's Basketball, which would I watch? I still can't come up with an answer....

Sending a good-natured shoutout to THE MAYOR OF MURRAY HILL; All I can say is the man is back! Also want to send a shout-out to MR. LOW-KEY for the lovely plate he prepared for me last night to get me through the evening. Once again, a job well done!

TONIGHT: "Lite-Nite Thursdays" ($4 all LIGHT beers) with the ITALIAN STALLION/ SEXY BLONDE behind the stick. Also for you ladies who dig men in uniform; a little bird tells me that there will be a fairly large contingent of New York's Bravest hanging out tonight, so stop by to meet 'em!

That's it for now. I'll post more later!
