    @ Happy Hour Indeed
    Headed down the street after work for a Happy Hour with my co-workers. Going to a Vodka Bar called Subzero. They have a bar made of ice like a hockey rink to keep your drink ice cold. Party time in 25 minutes Wanna tell you a story, About the house-man blues I come home one Friday, Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job She said that don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent, And out the door I went So I goes to the landlady, I said, "You let me slide?" I'll have the rent for you tomorrow Or the next day I don't know So said let me slide it on you know people, I notice when I come home in the evening She ain't got nothing nice to say to me, But for five year she was so nice Lord she was lovey-dovey, I come home one particular evening The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?", I said, "No, can't find no job, Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent" She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job" Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner, Leaning up against a post" I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" She said "That don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday" Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent, And out the door I went So I go down the streets, Down to my good friend's house I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know, Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?" He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife" He come out of the house, I could see it in his face I know that was no He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know" I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too" So I go back home I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah" And then she was so nice, Lord, she was lovey-dovey So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent, She ain't gonna get none of it So I stop in the local bar you know people, I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want? One bourbon, one scotch, one beer Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when, I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin Gonna get high man, I'm gonna get loose, Need me a triple shot of that juice Gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer But I'm sitting now at the bar, I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer Looked down the bar, here come the bartender I said "Look man, come down here" So what you want? One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since the night before last, Gotta get a drink man, I'm gonna get gassed Gonna get high man, I ain't had enough, Need me a triple shot of that stuff Gonna get drunk, won't you listen right here, I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer Now by this time I'm plenty high, You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high Looked down the bar I say to my bartender I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want this time? I said "Look man, a-what time is it?" He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock. Last call for alcohol, so what you need?" One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' on a week, Gotta get drunk man, so I can't even speak Gonna get high man, listen to me, One drink ain't enough Jack, you better make it three I wanna get drunk, I'm gonna make it real clear, I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

    Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Miami, Goodnight Geeky!!!!! Cya on the flip side ...... Well this gigolo's jumping salty, ain't no trade out on the streets, Half past the unlucky, and the hawk's a front-row seat Dressed in full orchestration, stage-door Johnny's got to pay, And sent him home talking 'bout the one that got away Could have been on Easy Street, could have been a wheel, With irons in the fire and all them business deals But the last of the big-time losers shouted before he drove away, "I'll be right back, as soon as I crack the one that got away" Well, the ambulance drivers, they don't give a shit, They just want to get off work, and The short stop and the victim are already gone berserk And the shroud-tailor measures him for a deep-six holiday, The stiff is froze, the case is closed on the one that got away Now Jim Crow's directing traffic with them cemetery blues, With them peculiar-looking trousers, them old Italian shoes And a wooden kimono that was all ready to drop in San Francisco Bay But he's mumbling something all about the one that got away And Costello was the champion at the St. Moritz Hotel, And the best this side of Fairfax, reliable sources tell But his reputation is at large, and he's at Ben Frank's every day, Waiting for the one that got away He got a snakeskin sportshirt, and he looks like Vincent Price, With a little piece of chicken, and he's carving off a slice Someone tipped her off, and she'll be doing a Houdini now any day She shook his hustle, and a Greyhound bus'll take the one that got away Well, Andre's at the piano behind the Ivar in the sewers, With a buck a shot for pop tunes, and a fin for guided tours He could-a been in "Casa Blanca", he stood in line out there all day Now he's spilling whiskey and learning songs about a one that got away Well I've lost my equilibrium and my car keys and my pride, The tattoo parlor's warm, and so I hustle there inside And the grinding off the buzz-saw, "What you want that thing to say?" I says, "Just don't misspell her name, buddy, she's the one that got away"

    She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low downAnd when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight And when I'm returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

LOL. I used to live on Lake Erie. You should see the little ponds they call lakes down here. I'm always like, that is not a lake, that's a retention pond! Hotdogs ain't nothin' but beef, lips, and assholes no matter what kind of fancy Chicago toppings you put on it! I do like catsup on my turkey dogs though. :P

you kids in upstate NY have it sometimes worse than us - granted it is way colder where I am, but that is a function of the fact I live near the g'd arctic circle...f-you Saskatchewan (how do you spell or say that again?!?). Nothing sends a chill through the spine of someone living near the great lakes like the term 'lake effect snow' read - utter hell and massive accumulations. I grew up near D-town and typically got around 10 to 15 ft of accumulation every winter...just mother nature took mercy on us and got rid of it by say early May...Where I am now, she just flips the bird at us and says "suck it up buttercup"

I do not miss the stiff wind and ball-shrinking wind chill blowing onshore from Lake Erie. Eh, rrrrrgrrrr? The only buttercups ever sucked up was my ball sack into my body cavity. I say Eh? because I could see Canada most days from some point. The only difference between Buffalonians and Canadians is, well there is none except the accent. Eh? But, Labatts Blue is not considered an import there like it is here. I love your beer Canada! At least I don't have to deal with all those Canadian quarters in my pocket anymore. Does this have anything to do with SSD planning? By Friday, my mind just turns to mush. Sorry for the rambling. I think my frantic Friday ramblings scared clowns off the other forum. p.s. sorry ladies, I'm, pretty sure you didn't need to hear all that ball talk.

EWWWWWW! Do love the green bottles south of the border though...I grew up in the home of Labatt's and only drank it for fear of any friends of mine who worked at the plant seeing me drinking something else...they got PISSED. Anyhoo, we do have coats, but this whole 8 months of winter thing has to end...drives one a bit batty to be honest. Now back to our regular programming - I have lots of ice for our beer and maybe some for margarita mix! AND WE DON'T ALL SAY EH! (actually I do - seemingly only when I travel and people are looking for it, it seems to creep out...weird)

The rooster did not crow today, but the crow did caw. The shadow on the dark side of the moon points to 97. 97 I say, the remaining time to cleanse the liver, grow some New Mother Nature, and get ourselve's in festival shape so we can once again gather and dance each day aware until the sun demands we celebrate again. That's right ladies and gentlemen, patch those sails and shine those rails! An odyssey lies on the horizon. Look! for it appears far, yet is near. o.k. I think I owed y'll a little more today since I'm late, I'm, I'm late, I'm late. Down the rabbit hole I go again.
