We gonna throw down the jam tonight, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Just like it except without the snotty clerks
The time between Christmas and New Year’s is a dead time for businesses. Nobody is answering the phones, no one is providing any service nor are they helping anybody. In other words, it’s like working at Blockbuster except without all the angry customers waiting in line.

Wild one
Boy, I went to a wild New Year’s Eve party last year. I got so tipsy I fell out of bed and landed on Liza Minelli.


New York police are now describing Liza Minelli’s accident as a drunken fall out of bed. How drunk do you have to be when you can’t even negotiate a bed?


Liza Minelli had to be hospitalized after she fell out of bed and knocked herself out. What a year. First Liza’s ex-husband, David Gest, sued her for assault, then her bodyguard sued her for assault and just when things couldn’t get worse, Liza is also New York Ranger season ticket holder.

I had to exchange a few Christmas presents. I turned in my NHL season tickets in for a Liza Minelli sleeping crash helmet.

Say it ain’t so. Oh, hell, who cares?
To put the possible cancellation of NHL’s season in perspective, that means no hockey for the Phoenix Coyotes, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Florida Panthers. That is shocking. I had absolutely no idea those teams were in the NHL.

It’s looking like the NHL’s entire season will be cancelled. In more-relevant-to-my-life news, my dog snored like a drunken sailor last night.

To put the possible cancellation of NHL’s season in perspective for the average southern California sports fan, it’s as if that movie you didn’t want to see in the first place is no longer in the theaters and not yet out on DVD.

There is a word that describes the people who will be hurt by the NHL strike this year: Canadians.


Since you asked:

Got a harp gig tonight, Slats and Nuggies. At Patrick II if you are in San Diego’s Gas Lamp district tonight. The band is the Nik Simon Band and they righteously jam the blues. I will be hanging on for dear life.
