STRANGE BUT TRUE....

Yesterday was your typical Sunday Funday with the SUNDAY BREW CREW; With the NY Giants playing the crosstown rivals, the Jets, there was a lot of taunting, laughs and flowing of booze throughout the afternoon. Among the chaos that made Sunday memorable included the following:


T-BILL brought in his brand-spanking new IPHONE for us to check out. It WAS cool to check out.... until he asked me to plug the damn thing into our IPOD charger; only to see his brand-new toy get fried. Yes, fried. When he asked me to give him back the phone, I went to grab it and it felt like toast when you first pull it out of the toaster.... h-o-t! I asked him this was supposed to be like this.... apparently not. I'll be dammed if the thing wasn't burnt out. WTF? Fortunately, T-BILL had a warranty, so he zipped up to the Apple Store and they replaced it on the spot and he was back in his seat by the 4pm games. Talk about dedication.

I'm not sure what the occasion was but I found myself swamped with drinks throughout the day. It didn't seem that crowded at the bar, but with the regulars yelling at me for drinks from all sides all at once, I did find myself frazzled from time to time. And I think some of the regulars (i.e. AFRIKA BAMBATTA) enjoy seeing me in that state, using that time to make my life miserable (ol' bastard).

Then there was the Old Man who became NAPOLEON's new friend. During the 4pm games this old guy comes shuffling into the bar. Helped with a cane and wearing a t-shirt and khakis, I've seen him in the bar before and had mixed results with him. Some days he's okay, keeps to himself and such; other days he can be cantankerous and a pain in the ass. I usually keep him on a short leash.

On this particular occasion, he was relatively on his good behavior.... except that apparently he had a bit of a stench on him. As soon as he sat at the bar, the Sunday Brew Crew regulars began jumping out of their seats and retreating to the other end of the bar. AFRIKA BAMBATTA even began opening the windows. Funny thing is that I couldn 't quite smell what they were smelling.





Unfortunately for NAPOLEON, the old guy ended up sitting next to him. The next half hour or so was pure comedy as they had small talk, while at the same time, NAPOLEON was desperately trying not to breathe. Hilarious.

NOTE TO SELF: Never allow HORNY GOATWEED to use the camera. Ever.

A couple of cute chicks came in during the 4pm games and the HORNY ONE decided that he'd be Joe Cool and take pictures of the girls. First off, he sucks ass at taking pics. I thought AFRIKA BAMBATTA was bad, but let's just say that STEVIE WONDER can take better pictures than the HORNY ONE. Now I'm not sure what happened, but one minute the two girls were sitting there, minding their own business.....


The next thing you know.....


The two girls were "Gone With The Wind"..... wtf!

LINE OF THE DAY: While wating to pay his tab, this person was asked if he was about to hook up with a certain cute blonde; this individual, who shall remain nameless but is also known as the "most prolific base stealer in Major League Baseball History, probable Hall-of-Famer, and occasionally likes to refer to himself in the third person", threw me a look and simply said:

"If you hurry up and give me the damn check I will!" Priceless....







All in all, it was a busy, yet fun day. The day/night was steady throughout and with many people being off for Columbus Day on Monday, I found myself working well into the wee hours of the morning. So you can imagine how my feet feels today. And to make matters worse, AMERICA'S TEAM lost to the Yankees. At least that gives everyone another game tonight. Hopefully my team closes it out tonight. My nerves couldn't handle a Game 5.




DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS continues tonight with $1.00 BUD/BUD LIGHT MUGS (4pm-close). YANKEES/INDIANS (game 4)@ 7:30pm. DALLAS/BUFFALO (Monday Night Football)@ 8:30pm.
