    @ 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"

'o nuts? OK, now I really do have to go find some chocolate. Tough road -- there is danger in learning to appreciate fine chocolate, sorta like good wine. Impossible to go back to the plebian, when you get used to good stuff.

The dark stuff (w/out nuts) is my fancy, but it's not the most patrician chocolate. Good for the heart, though. OK, I gotta get back to work before I end up separated from my gainful employment. Peace out, Daydreamers!

Mad Swan, I broke my phone yesterday as well. The screen at least. Oh, well, such is life when you forget that picking up that piece of litter means that gravity will induce a separation between phone and pocket. One man gathers what another man spills. Errrrg, sounds like you and Reese's Oreo need to get a room! You know this space is getting hot. I never knew tastebuds had such vast capabilities.... Have a grate day everyone!

Cookies are in my top 5 desert island foods. I thought it would be fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies (maybe oatmeal chocolate chip - hold the raisins please), but I might include ALL cookies so that ALL Oreo flavors and maybe some Pepperidge Farm might be included. Kristine - YES. Any kind of peanut-butter related Oreo sounds like breakfast. My tutu (grandmother in Hawaii) and I had been known from time to time to enjoy a nice moist piece of chocolate cake for breakfast there in paradise. All - there exist both peanut butter AND Reeses peanut butter Oreos. The Reese ones are among the limited edition, such as are the Red Velvet Cake ones... peanut butter > Reese peanut butter ones. Birthday cake flavor > peanut butter. Red Velvet = birthday cake (maybe birthday cake slightly better than Red Velvet). Klang I will have to try the half and halfsies. I have not tried the mint or the (lemon?) yellow ones yet. Anyone? Okay. I have some strange strains of OCD, but you still love me. xo Stellz

Y'all have done it to me now. I couldn't just get the coffee from Starbucks this afternoon. No, I felt strangely compelled to see if there were any CHOCOLATE COOKIE treats. Found one--they call it "flourless" but it tasted just fine to me. They looked at me funny when I tried to order a Reese's Oreo cookie, though.
