COUNTDOWN TO RED HEARTS DAY....

Just spent my first Sunday without football and I will be the first to tell you that it SUCKED! You would think that with all of these years of tending bar on Sundays, I'd know the deal by now: The first Sunday after the Super Bowl is typically dead. Call it post-football blues, call it "catching up with the significant other", whatever it is, it always catches me off guard; even when I tell myself to look out for the letdown. Yet, year after year, it sneaks up on me. Ugh. And let me tell you, this year was no better than the last one- painful.




Lucky for me, I got some visitors throughout the day to at the very least, help break up the monotony. MR. LOW-KEY and REDSKINS GIRL stopped by, as did JEFFREY DAHMER, and together, we helped REDSKINS GIRL out with one of her "dilemmas". I have to say, it was rather funny in that she chose us for advice in the first place. I guess when you're desperate for answers.... you take what you can get. Also got a brief, yet entertaining visit from NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and his significant other, SMURFETTE, who proceeded to rip me a new one for not coming down to see her when she stopped by. Listen doll baby, when a cat's stuck in a tree, I can't come down the ladder in the middle of a mission, just to say hi! It's all beautiful though, SMURFETTE, you know that! Next time I see you, let's "hug it out"!

Speaking of "hugging it out", make sure to catch the JEREMY PIVEN interview in this month's Playboy Magazine. Pretty insightful stuff.

Best part of the day, bar none, however was the surprise that MR. LOW-KEY sprung on me: He finally GOT ENGAGED to his lovely girlfriend, the COSTUME CHICK!

It was ironic because I'd just asked him earlier in the day when he was going to make an honest woman out the COSTUME CHICK; of course, he couldn't give me a straight answer. I guess he fooled all of us!

Congrats to MR. LOW-KEY and THE COSTUME CHICK!

So, with that being said, Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. Now you already know how I feel about this holiday, so I won't vent about it again. However, we still have to deal with the day. Since it falls on Wednesday and Wednesday is also GIRLS NIGHT OUT, we are going make a special effort to please the single ladies with no plans for the night. Check this out:

Celebrate Valentine's Day with a Girls Night Out at Third and Long. Our Specials will include $4 blue moon, Amstel Light, & Coors Light bottles and drafts/ $5 cosmos & specialty martinis/ $2 mixed drinks. We will also have some chocolates and candies for everyone to enjoy compliments of The Swandad, Elroy, BabyGirl and Cinderella Man. A special soundtrack of cheesy love songs and one hit wonders from the 80's will set the mood. So grab all of your single girlfriends and head on over to Third and Long! (oh and DIRTY SANCHEZ, you can come too!)

GRAMMY AFTERTHOUGHTS:

DIXIE CHICKS: Nice rebound after being banished to musical purgatory by the Country Music community. I guess they got the last laugh after all.

STEVIE WONDER: Was it just me, or did that guy blow up like a balloon? Whoa!

CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Was she smokin' hot in a classic "old school" way or what? You go, doll baby!

THE POLICE "REUNION": It was okay... but for some reason, I expected more. And STING couldn't hit the high notes like he once could.

Any other thoughts on the Grammy's?

DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS TONIGHT! ($1.00 BUD/BUD LIGHT MUGS ALL NIGHT LONG!)


Oh, and thoughtful advice for the day: I've gotten my share over the weekend, and i'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one blessed with them at 4am: DRUNKY DRUNKY TEXTING= always leads to no good.
