HAPPY CHRISTMAS!It's Christmas Eve and if you haven't made that trek to wherever, I'm sure you're probably doing that now. So I'll keep it short and sweet.
I was able to say goodbye to some of you before you left for your Christmas break; Others I missed out on; however, I'm sure you'll have a great time enjoying the holidays and that I'll catch everyone when they return.
A quick funny bit from Sunday: As you can probably imagine, Brew Crew Sunday Funday was pretty light due to the fact that most of the regulars are gone for the holiday break. The Sunday before Xmas is usually the lightest Sunday of the football season for that very reason.
While we were light on regulars, I did get my share of former Murray Hill and NYC residents, home to visit family and friends. In one particular case, I had the "pleasure" of meeting this one Korean guy named Alex. A former New Jersey resident, he shared with us (in between his many beers) that he was currently living in Mobile, Alabama. Talk about culture shock!
An avid NY Giants fan, he was really into cheering for his team and whenever the team did something good in their game, he wanted to buy everyone shots. Mind you, there were probably five of us in the bar at the time, so that didn't seem such a big deal. First he wanted to do Jager shots. Begrudgingly, the other patrons gave in and accepted the shots, mostly to shut the guy up. After doing Jager shots, he insisted on doing "Buttery Nipple" shots. Of course I rolled my eyes. Who in the hell wants to do "Buttery Nipple" shots with a bar full of guys? So of course, I tried to persuade him out of doing those shots. I kept coming up with different reasons why he shouldn't do them and yet, he kept insisting on doing them. So by then, the other guys started busting his chops about doing such a girly shot. Yet he kept insisting.
Finally he realized that no one wanted to do the shots and he came out with this ditty of a gem:
"Why don't you want me to do a "Buttery Nipple" shot? Is this one of those "alternative" bars?
And without batting an eyelash, NORBIT of all people, quipped "It will be if you keep ordering that shit." and continued to watch the game.
Priceless.
So once again, If I haven't said it to you already, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, KWANZAA, or whatever it is you observe, enjoy the moment. And here's a little bit of entertainment to help you get through the next few days. A classic comic gem from the BBC's Original Version of THE OFFICE. And with all due respect to the current American version, it still can't hold a candle to the original from across the pond. Enjoy!
