BBQ

Today is the day that we Americans all do something VERY American together. We barbecue! Most of us have tomorrow off, so traditionally today is the day we cook on open fires, drink beer, and play yard games. Mmmm.

In case you haven't noticed, my dearest reader, I like barbecues.

To Anyone in St. Louis

Methinks we should get wasted on Saturday.

Here is the plan.

Delmar - Blueberry Hill, Delmar Lounge, Pinup, Saleem's, and then we will end our night at the Mecca of Late-Night Wastedness: The Halo Bar

For those of you who do not live in the Lou, the Halo is that place that is at the end of a great strip of bars and clubs that seems to be open two hours later than all the other bars. Every city has one. It's the place where you see people making the desperate drunk hookup attempt. You know, the one where the guys get that "I'm NOT tugging on my own dong TONIGHT! I MUST find SOMETHING to go home with!" look on their face. Meanwhile, the interested ladies' mug reads, "I deserve it tonight, I'm gonna get me a man. I'm gonna sucker $15 worth of booze from about 5 of these assholes before I take my pick, but I'm GETTING a man!"

I fucking love it! Meanwhile, those of us that have significant others get to take in the whole scene with a smile as we think about some of the dumb things we've done in the past for a little action.

What's the Halo type place in your town?

After Three Days, He Rose From The Dead

Why is it that everything has to be some sort of "comeback" these days? Every Kid Rock song starts with him saying, "I'm Back!" Back from what? I don't know. Actually, I hope I he never puts out another album. Seriously.

Then you've got the washed-up old athlete that makes the big comeback. Inevitably he/she ends up sucking and wasting our time. Yet we still shell out money to see some 41 year old dude go out and try to physically compete with steroided out 27 year olds. Not going to happen hommie.

My personal favorite chronic comebacker has to be the rehashed movie. Which reminds me...YOU'VE ALREADY MADE A MOVIE CALLED, "THE LONGEST YARD"! I don't need to fucking see it again.

Okay, that all being said, I'm making a comeback. I've realized I hate not blogging. My brain constantly moves at a million miles an hour and my survival depends on me espousing my bullshit on the Internet. (Just an aside here, but people forget that the word "Internet" is a proper noun) I think this might be the third post about me blogging and getting back to it. What can I say? I'm a goofball.

Glad you all enjoyed our little drunken phone call. It's amazing what you remember and what is forgotten when it comes to being wasted. I remember making that phone call, and I have sketchy details about it. However, I had no clue what I actually said until I heard it. Such is life when you drink LOTS of beer ALL day.

One more thing. To all my California friends, I'll have you know that I had a dream that I was back in SoCal the other night. I miss living there. Don't get me wrong, STL is one of my favorite places in the world. That being said, there is NOTHING like a summer in southern California.

Nothing.
