Best wishes to Britt who has a birthday this week. You look mah-velous dollink!



I mentioned that Victoria and I like Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. The Warden said he’s waiting for Anthony Bourdain’s visit to Wes’ Rib House.



Elizabeth, Mike Module’s sister, and hubby Tom went to Ireland. Liz said that they found that if you sought out Irish fine dining that the restaurants did not serve beer, just wine. So Liz and Tom ate in pubs where you could get beer.



Alexander the Great said that I should have dirty pictures in the Hot Club section of the Zine. I told Alex that that would get me into big trouble. The Grate One persisted, “We need some sort of pictures.” Mr. D. said, “We want a picture of Tiger Wood’s woody.”



Adam pointed out to me that in the last Sportzine the ad for Wes’ Rib House looked like it said Dik e street because there was a space between the ‘Dik’ and the ‘e’.



Mr. D. was leaving the Hot Club and Alexander the Great proclaimed, “Elvis has left the building.”



High Wire Bill and I were talking about the US and Bill said, “We used to be the DJs but we are not the DJs any more.”



Pucky said that Tiger Woods has started his cell stem research.



Kevin the Man of Fire said a woman came on to him to come over to her place where she had mirrors on the walls, mirrors on the ceiling. So he went over and brought a bottle of Windex.



Jimmy Chelo told me the story of Ernie, the no account count. He affected an accent and held his cigarettes European style when trying to make it with women. Ernie drove an oil truck. When the women asked him what he was in, he’d reply “I’m in oil.” The No Account Count.



Jimmy C also recalled Charles, who fixed cars, and who was asked by a woman to stop the ticking in her Jaguar. So he did. The car broke down and the irate woman returned. Charles said “Well that was the oil pump. It was making a noise because it was going. So you asked me to stop it and I did.”

The Warden thinks they should turn the Hot Club into a strip joint. Then they could call it the Hot Strip Club. Mr. D. reminded me that we once were considering doing a calendar showing the HC bartenders. It was to be called Women of the Hot Club.



Chuck D-isms: “What goes into 13 twice? – Roman Polanski.” Also “Polanski is the 5- foot Pole that you never want to touch anything with.”



HC Scoop: Adam revealed that the Hot Club will begin taking credit cards in @ 10 days.



Contraire says he’s loaning the HC money for 5% interest. He says he’s into a new racket – lending money. The Warden said Contraire was having a Beavis and Butthead moment.



The Warden revisited the “A 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2” manly musing. This is the line that got me banished from passing out Sportzine in my workplace. The Warden said “Do you know what’s worse than a 2 at 10? A 2 at 2.” Rim shot, please.



I gave a copy of Sportzine to Contraire and said “Here’s some reading material.” Contraire replied, “I can always use it for something else.”



Mr. D. recalled that he had suggested I put Sportzine on toilet paper. Or at least the Hot Club section.



We were talking about Ted Kennedy and Foot Joy said he was reading Ted’s memoirs. Mr. D. wanted to know what Ted said about Chappaquiddick. Foot Joy said that was one subject about which there wasn’t enough information. Recalling Chappaquiddick, Mr. D. observed, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”



Eben has his own list of songs on the jukebox – EB Dude. Eben has a list with the longest songs available on the juke box – more bang for your buck. Traffic’s Low Spark of High Heel Boys is on that list. I suggested King Crimson’s In The Court of the Crimson King.



The Ornery A-Hole Cook objected to 2012 when I brought it up. “Roland Emmerich”, he snorted. Didn’t he do Independence Day? Yeah. Ornery liked it. Jackie said she did too.



The Herbster is looking for people to start a pinochle club. Said the Herbivore, “No idiots may apply.” And Mike Module thinks that euchre is similar to hi-lo-jack.



Overheard at the Hot Club (comparison of two women by another): “Well, this one’s more subdued in her lunacy.”
