NICE NIGHT TO BE A LADY!

Ladies Night at Third and Long proved to be a fun-filled affair thanks to a couple of cute guest bartenders (COURTNEY and TIFFANY). They added some flair to the evening and as a result, the turnout was more than I expected, which was great. Between the great drink specials, eclectic music and plenty of banter taking place, all of the ladies that turned out seemed to have a really good time and many of them stayed well into the night (the guys didn't seem to mind either). FRENCHY was also behind the bar to lend some much-needed support and the three of them gelled well as a team.

I tip my hat off to the team of FRENCHY, COURTNEY and TIFFANY; Thanks for a job well done!


STORK ALERT!

Our own CHEF TELL became a proud papa yesterday! He and his lovely wife JAMIE became the proud parents of a 7lb 5oz, 19 inch baby boy, (Hudson James Booth) and both mom and baby are doing "extremely well"! Congrats from the Third and Long family and may you have many, many more!


DIMWITS OF THE NIGHT: A group of knuckleheads from Boston College were hanging out in the back of the bar, shooting the breeze, causing no problems. At the end of the night, they go to leave the bar and for some inexplicable reason, decided to mess with the two Nitrogen tanks situated outside the bar. The tanks were placed on the corner by Verizon to keep the phone lines under the street from overheating. While I've been assured that the tanks are harmless, it still doesn't make me feel good when I see a group of idiots screwing around with the tanks for laughs.

So I see the dimwits turning on the valves and all kinds of nitrogen smoke flying out of it and a couple of the guys trying to make snowballs out of the forming ice. I yell at them to stop messing with the tanks and they sheepishly go to walk away. You'd think that would be the end of it.... Unfortunately we're dealing with idiots here.

Fifteen minutes later I look outside and there they are, screwing with the tanks and dancing in the misty smoke again! I walk outside and start yelling at them to leave the tanks alone; One of the dimwits decide he wants to challenge me by asking if I owned the tanks and why did I care. As soon as I began to answer back, some poetic justice came by dressed up as an undercover police car. Two cops jump out of the car and began busting balls big time. Talk about perfect timing.

I couldn't help but to crack a smile as I came back inside. Talk about dimwits!
