HELLO, HEATWAVE....

It's June 25 and we're FINALLY going to get our first heatwave of the summer. It's going to be hot, sticky and humid (yay) and while I am not the biggest fan of that kind of weather, after weeks of rain I'll learn to deal with it. Some quick nuggets before I take off to prep for tonight's SIXPOINT CRAFT ALE Tasting:

EARLY CANDIDATE- "IDIOT OF THE YEAR" AWARD: That goes to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, for disappearing for FIVE days and not telling anyone where he was. It was first said that he was walking the Appalachian Trail "to relieve some stress" from hard work in the Senate; As it turns out, he was "relieving stress" in Argentina, with another woman in a torrid, steamy extra-martial affair. Now wifey has tossed him out of the house, South Carolina wants to toss him out of their government house... and I'm guessing that Ms. Argentina don't want him back at her house. Oof.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE? AWARD: Goes out to my Cleveland Cavaliers for reaching out in a desperation move to please its "King", LEBRON JAMES, by going out and trading for an over-the-hill and very expensive SHAQUILLE O'NEILL, in the hopes of getting that elusive championship.

Yes, this is the last year of the "King's" contract and yes you want to show this guy that you are serious about building a contending team around him. But SHAQ? Really? This guy has an ego as equal, if not bigger than the "King"; he's 37 years old, CLEARLY past his born-on date; He's never been the type to embrace the gym, even in his prime! So what could he possibly do now? It's obviously a desperate all-or-nothing move for America's Team, one that will probably blow up in their faces.

Oh well. Read another guy's take on "The Trade".


Don't forget about "Thirsty Thursdays" tonight featuring buckets of Coors Light/Miller Lite, 5/$15.00 (5-9pm), followed by $4.00 Domestic Drafts from 9pm-close. And while you're here, take part in our SIXPOINT CRAFT ALE Tasting Party (7-9pm), featuring $3 samples of SIXPOINT SWEET ACTION, APOLLO or BENGALI TIGER IPA!


Stay cool!

wow ... drinkin the haterade on the shaqtus. personally i think shaq is friggin hilarious. w/o his personality in the nba every press conference would be more boring than watching paint dry. but i agree, he won't get the King his ring.

He is the governor not the senator, right?
