You know you want to listen to the newest hockey podcast on the block. Talk about calling my shot last week. Remember when I said I’d probably lose or destroy my recorder before the end of the game? Well I most certainly did. But you can still listen to the tripe we laid down before we started drinking. And that’s probably a lesson we’re going to have to take to heart for the rest of our podcast ventures. I don’t think the 3rd period moosecall contest really had the replayability it seemed to at the time. Still, we had fun putting it together, and I think you’ll get a kick out of it.
Tonight!: Bash For The Beaut.
Larry “The Beaut” has worked at and brightened up pubs around this dirty old town for as long as I have lived here. I worked with him myself at Tiernans many times, and he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Larry’s health has been an issue as of late, and he’s now making a steady recovery after a very scary couple of weeks. Friends and family are holding a fundraiser for him tonight at Hennessey’s right beside Faneuil hall. It should be a nice Tiernans reunion while raising some money to get Larry back on his feet. If you’re in the neighborhood, please stop in.
Friday’s Quizzlet: Here At The Herb.
Appetizer: What is your favorite herb or spice?
My favorite Herb is Drummond.
Soup: Name a song you like but haven’t heard in a long time.
I have been looking for the entire Here at the Home album by an old Boston band called Tribe for a while now. It is out of print, and I can’t find any of the MP3s either. A lot of the songs were re-recorded and released on an album called “Abort” a couple years later, but the HATH versions are far superior. If you happen across this, and you have the record, please put me out of my misery.
Salad: Write down everything you need to do. How many tasks are there?
Like I mentioned here recently, I need a readily accessible notebook to keep my life in some degree of order. I have pages and pages of bullets that I cross off with a highlighter when completed. If I lost my beloved notebook, it would be tantamount to Henry Jones Sr. losing the Grail Diary. Without first getting to sleep with the hot Nazi.
Main Course: Tell something interesting about one of your family members.
My first cousin, Reiner, lives in Spain with a Brazilian woman. That just sounds delightful. R-Man, does she have a sister? A brother, even. Hell, if I were in Spain technically I’d be on vacation. And what happens on vacation, stays on vacation. Especially if it’s kind of gay.
Dessert: What’s the latest you’ve ever stayed awake?
All damn night, obviously. I remember the first time I watched the sun come up. I was about 8 and we were at a party on Prince Edward Island. My parents were inside getting liquored up, and all us kids were outside on one of the famous red sand roads daring eachother to let fireworks explode in our hands. Yes, exceptional parenting on PEI.
