AN IRISHMAN SPOILING FOR A BRAWL? THAT'S ODD

Appears Matt takes some issue with an idiot cow-college psych prof who thinks it would be better to have the Cubs lose in order to maintain their "lovable loser mystique".

Matt is not amused.

Personally, having lived through 29 VERY dark years when Green Bay's nickname of "Titletown" was the sorriest joke in the league, I have some sympathy.

And I don't even want to talk about the Brewers, thank you very much.

WOW!

In all my years in the Navy spent mastering the polite and courteous use of the English Language, I have NEVER seen such a collection of jaw-droppingly pungent invective as what The Bartender unloads on France.

It boggles the mind.

WHY WILLIES?

 

I've been stopping by Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon since the place opened, and I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is that makes it so compelling. I mean, it's just another blog, right? A few words & links & "so what? everybody's got one"

 

No.

 

Willie's is different. It really *feels* like a bar. I swear you can hear the tinking of glasses & murmured conversations, plus plenty of good-time laughter over by the bartender. And it's not just *any* bar. It's not the kind of bar run by an old, retired factory worker and solely patronized by his rummy chums. No, this is the kind of bar you thought bars would be like when you were 17 and couldn't get in. You heard the rumors of fun and frolic and pretty ladies, and you thought it'd be a special, magical place. Then when you finally reach "the age" you find out bars are really about sullen drunks and pool hustlers.

 

Willie's is the kind of place you only see in beer commercials, with lots of laughter and pretty waitresses and good friends all around. There's an atmosphere of joviality that permeates everything, from the very professional drink recipes to the really atrocious jokes that you stopped hearing in the third grade.

 

If it were brick & mortar, you'd walk in and feel at home before the grinning bartender even had a chance to give you a friendly wave (which would probably be all of about 5 seconds. The barkeep is more convivial than an Alderman running for re-election).

 

Madfish Willie's is the quintessential "fine drinking establishment". Drop by & tell him Harv sent you. First drink's always on the house.

 

ADDENDUM: I'm sure nobody has, but if you've ever read Spider Robinson's "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon"... yeah, it's like that.

A QUESTION

If I'm busy tonight and I won't be doing much blogging, does it matter if I do a post saying, "I'm sorry, I'm busy tonight and I won't be doing much blogging."?

Or should I skip the apology and just spend the time trying to cram in a last, quick post?

I've seen "sorry for the lack of blogging" posts on a lot of pages, and I've always wondered if they really matter at all.

Lesson learned:

When gambling on international conflicts, always bet AGAINST the guy with the cheesy mustache.

PRECISION GUIDED HUMOR

For all you Alliance Members, Terrorist Whackers, and French Bashers, there's a new assignment up at Alliance HQ. Apparently there's broad support for mocking terrorists & their supporters. So, with that target in mind, the question has been posted:

What would you say if you had the floor at a Jacques Chirac press conference?

With answers due next Wednesday night.

Boy, if anything ever just cried out for a top 10 list...
