SUNDAY RECAP.....

Yesterday was the return of Fantasy Football Sunday and as always, it was a memorable afternoon. Most of the regulars made it back for the first weekend, and we even had a few surprises along the way.

MR. LOW KEY was the first to arrive (at approx. 11:50am), while I was in the middle of a bit of a panic attack (one of the satellite boxes wasn't working properly). He sat patiently while I was able to correct the situation. Soon after that, the regulars began to trickle in...... Everyone in the bar let out a collective cheer when GOLDIE walked in unexpectedly. He surprised everyone (even his wife) when he woke up early in the morning and took the train up from Washington, D.C. just to hang out with everyone for Opening Week. That's a true blue Sunday Brew Crew member!

The afternoon consisted of all types of mischief and mayhem and general good clean fun and the Sunday Brew Crew picked up right where they left off. The highlight of the day involved the infamous "YEARBOOK". The storyline is so long and funny that it will get a separate post later.
Other regulars making an appearance on Sunday included the following (here's a chance to put the faces with the names):

STIFFLER

UCONN FAN and GOLDIE

AFRIKA BAMBATTA

MR. LOW-KEY


DIRTY SANCHEZ & AMERICAN PSYCHO

BLONDE CHATTERBOX

T-BILL

I also brought in another surprise guest bartender, PIXIE F.I.T. GIRL to help me with the raucous crowd. With me feeling under the weather, I figured it would be a good idea to have reinforcements, just in case. Of course, I got an earful from the peanut gallery, led by "you-know-who" (AFRIKA BAMBATTA)... by the end of the first game, the boys were calling for my retirement as she was "a lot better on the eyes" than me. WTF? LOL.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE made an appearance with his newly-christened fiancee, SMURFETTE and her parents and got himself a nice surprise from yours truly (see THE YEARBOOK). He then proceeded to get lit up like a Christmas tree; at least he lasted longer than he did on Thursday night!

There were all kinds of funny moments throughout the day; one of the funniest involved AMERICAN PSYCHO and his "dilemma", of course, the YEARBOOK incident, and MR. GIANTS FAN who had no problem showing his love for his favorite team.....


MR. GIANTS FAN was yelling, singing, chanting at the TV at the top of his voice, much to the amusement of everyone else. He was so into the team and the game that I realized that the Gentlemen's Drinks had kicked in too much and eventually had to put him in a cab. Hey, it happens to all of us...

All told, it was a great day for football, friends and fun. Coming up next: THE YEARBOOK

LEST WE FORGET.... As we observe the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, I want to take this moment to acknowledge the families and friends of the individuals who were lost on that fateful day. It's been five years now, yet I can remember the tragic event like it was yesterday. You are in our hearts and thoughts forever.
