Monday Monday

 

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

Happy Monday to all of you!   Hope you’re not hurtin’ puppies from the Super Bowl party!  We were here late last night. We’re still cleaning up all the confetti and stuff from the event. Brought in a few bucks.  Charlene is happy, she made some cash from the game. 

Today’s specials are the King of Beers, Budweiser and Pulled pork barbeque sandwiches with corn bread and baked beans!   Nice follow up! Charlene!!!!

So did you watch the big game?   Being a Giants fan, I wasn’t all concerned about the outcome, I wanted the Colts to win.  I like Peyton Manning.  But hey, the Saints got a trophy, they never had one so, nicey nice.  They earned it.  

Some of the ladies that were here were more interested in the commercials. Nothing really stood out. Guess there’s only so much you can do.

Got a call from Willy.  He sends his love.  LOL    He was able to get tickets for the game. Said it was a lot of fun. There are a lot of activities outside the game that he enjoyed too.

I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not  pleased to read the description in the catalog: – ‘No
good in a bed, but fine against a wall.  Eleanor Roosevelt

A dAy at the TavErn

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!!!

Oscar is out sick again, old fart.  LOL   I’m Eric.  He has a cold. Hmmm comes back from Puerto Rico and is sick… yeah righhht.

Well there’s a lot going on today.  Charlene is decorating the bar for the SuperBowl party on Sunday.  We like when she’s on that ladder.  Leo stares at her butt and makes yummy sounds.  Mom says he’d better watch out, she’d smack him!  LOL

Todays special is a California Cheeseburger, fresh pickle slice and a cold Budweiser. I’ll have a Pepsi ’cause I’m too young to drink. Thats why I put the pepsi picture on top. neat huh?  It has the girl and a drink.  Just like Oscar does.  See I can be a Bartender!

>not< (Lisa)

“aw c’mon mom”.

Charlene wants the Saints to win. There are more New Orleans banners than Indianppp  Indianaap,  Colts banners.

Is Indianapolis Ind… Like Greek indians who like apples?   What kind of name is that?

Indianapolis by joining Indiana with polis, the Greek word for city; literally, Indianapolis means “Indiana City“.

Well look at that!!!!  OH! like Metropolis!!  Polis  Indians!   Nice!!  So a lot of people in Oscars Tavern would be oscaropolis?  So are there lots of small people in Minneapolis? Or is it a town of Minnie Mouse fans?

Two guys are talking about their boss’s upcoming wedding. One dude says, “It’s ridiculous, he’s rich, but he’s 95 years old, and she’s just 24! What kind of a wedding is that?”

The other says, “Well, we have a name for it in my family.”

“What do you call it?”

“We call it a football wedding.”

The first asks, “What’s a football wedding?”

The other says, “She’s waiting for him to kick off!”

My mom says Oscar will be back tomorrow. Now if he gets time to write a good a post as I did, well that we’ll see.  

Don’t tell mom.  I took this picture in the mens room of the urinal.  There’s a bunny in there!  LOLOL  NO! I din’t do that. I think thats just how it ended up. (I hope anyway  -ew!)

I pee’d on it. 

Well thats all for today my friends. I hope you liked my post. 

Eric

Just Another Day in Paradise – Jan. 29, 2010

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

Yes, it is truly another day in paradise.  Well here anyway.  I’m in Puerto Rico “benchmarking” again.  Actually I leave today.  I’ve been busy!   For todays special’s we have Medalla beer, and go to Terri’s house for eats!!

I took a walk on the beach this morning.  Grumbling about heading back to mid-20’s weather.  I must be crazy!

Charlene told me the other day the roads in New Jersey were like an ice rink.  She said it took het 2 hours to get to the Tavern. 

And its still January…..

I hate cold.

Stay warm!

Ciao!

But Um…

 

 Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

Hi, How are ya?  Pull up a stool and relax.  Today we have Coors Light Specials and some delicious Beef Barley Soup.   What can I get you??

The soup?  Oh yes, it’s good!  A recipe from Mrs4444’s.  Charlene and I tried it.

And a Coors light?  Nice…

Life has been busy. 

I have to figure out ways to better do things and manage my time. With Willy gone, I have morethings to attend to. Yes, he’s decided to stay in Florida. We knew it was coming and he deserves it.  Hey so we have another place to hang out now at Willy’s Compound, so it’s been aptly named. Good for him.

Meanwhile its been stressful. Charlene is somewhat preoccupied, Lisa can only do so much as she has to tend to lil Eric. Leo has taken a full time job at a non charitable organization. Vinnie is in and out. Thus my lack of posting. Sorry folks. Even Belinda asked today, Oscar, you don’t post OT anymore?

No we’re here all week, try the veal.

Just very busy. And damn if it isn’t always the same thing. When I’m not writing a post I have a ton of thoughts. When I sit and start this ……>poof<

I have to carry a note pad, or use my fancy a$$ed phone to jog my memory of these ideas.

“Note to self… feed the tuna mayonaise so the tuna salad is already made……”

Ah, enough of me whining….

Well wait.  Now I’m real frustrated.  I was on a new blog the other day lead in from one of my usual visits, clicked on the link from a womans comment and it took me to a post where this woman wrote some fun lines using the theme wine.  I said to myself, Oooh I’ll use this in a post. and right here. see my lead in  whining..

Damn I can’t find it!

Do you know what blog I mean?

Oh I need a drink

Ciao

Have Another

 

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

It’s me your ol’ pal Oscar.  Full staff today except Mr. Willy.  The Lovely Charlene is back and she’s got some yummy Philly Cheesesteaks up for ya!   Gonna have Michelob Ultra’s as our special today!

Come on in – Sit down. You know that sounds good.

Jack and I had a little too much fun with courvoisier. A nice sweet cognac.  We had some beers the other night, then had wine with dinner, then more beers with Jessica, then he suggests this fine liquor.  Well they went down real well.  We finished up around Midnight.

The next morning I was to meet the boys for breakfast at 7:00am.  Well I didn’t show up till 8:05 and I was worn out.  It wasn’t the booze, it was the combo.  Thats the story I’m submitting anyway.

I think a lot of my friends are alcoholics.  Hmmm. Makes me think.  I’m not.  Really.  I stop.  But I am lumped in with those I hang with, so I’m assumed.  I enjoy their company before and after.   Charlene is like me.  We know when we have to stop.  But enjoy getting there. Is this bad?  I don’t think so. I’ve never missed a day of work or an obligation from drinking.  I do enjoy a drink with dinner most days.  Beer more in the summer, wine with winter dinners, beer with football, baseball.  Like all the “guys” do. I have a noon rule. Nothing before except when vacationing I reduce it to 10:30am.  Holiday cordials in the morning.  Christmas morning Mimosa’s, Thanksgiving Bloody mary’s. Easter Sambuca with coffee. Otherwise clean till noon.  Obviously during work hours we don’t imbibe.  So I’m a controlled drinker. It’s why I can tend bar.  While tending, I’m clean.  Close to the end of the shift, I may have one on the friend who’s holding the fort as I close.  But that’s all.  I don’t drink and drive home.

I wait till I get home and have a nightcap(s).

When I want to and am on the other side of the bar. I get a ride.  Thanks Charlene and Willy, and Vinny, Leo, and Lisa.  And metro cab.  I like when Kim takes me home. (especially to her place.)

An alien walks into a bar and sits next to a drunk guy and begins poking him in the shoulder.
The drunk guy just ignores him.
After a wile the guy turns to the alien and begins looking him up and down.
He notices that the alien has no genitalia.
He then asks “You guys have no genitalia, how do you guy have sex?”
The alien, still poking him in the arm, just smiles!

Joe tells his wife he is heading out to the pub for a drink.  His wife starts complaining you never take me anywhere anymore. After hours of complaining the husband agrees to take his wife to the pub. They sit down at a table and the husband gets up and goes to get drinks for him and his wife. While he was gone a man walks up to Joe’s wife and tells her he wants to turn her upside down fill her with beer and drink her dry. Joe’s wife exclaims, “you sick pervert get out of my sight.” Joe returned and his wife told him what happened and to go kick that guy’s ass. Joe said, “No way you don’t mess with a guy who can drink that much beer”. 

A little warmer here in the northeast.  Spos’ed to be in the 40’s tomorrow.  It’s not what I’ve had earlier this week, but it’s a start.

Have another?

Ciao!

Heineys

Hi!   Welcome to Oscar’s!   The lad isn’t here today as he’s away again.  Hi it’s Leo here.  I’ve been reading these blogs enough to know how to fill in for the dude.

Charlene isn’t here either so I have no Idea what the food is today, but know the beer today is Heineken.  We even have a representative from Heineken in today to promote the fine brew. She’s a very pretty gal in a tight fitting Heineken….   Body suit?  Whew!    Boy Oscar is missing this!   Lisa is a bit set back.  “Oscar’s not gonna want whores in the bar”.  But hey, when The Girl hosted the lingerie party, Lisa was right up there in the VS “Cheeky” panties.   Yes, I have photos.

Oh, Lisa just muttered that we have Sloppy Joe sandwiches today. Not the Manwich type, the deli style finger sandwiches. She got them from the Deli a few doors down.

It’s not too busy yet, but later on it will get crazy. The Heiney girl (and I DO MEAN Hieney) girl is only here till 8:00pm (that’s EST, dudes).

Oscar will be back  tomorrow.  I asked him yesterday if he felt any of the earthquakes in Haiti. He said himself no, but there were some on the Western side of PR who felt it.  Scary stuff.

Ciao

Tuesday… After-noon…

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

Well Hello there!   Oh!  Don’t sit there, you don’t want to know what happened there last night.  Here….  Put your coat on the rack and sit back…  I should put that on a sign here.   Speaking of racks….

 I was just talking with Twinkle and she said she had this great drink on a cruise. She said it was a Carmen Electra signature drink.  An Apricot Adventure.   Try one!

Today’s special is Homemade Chicken Soup  It’s flown in from the West coast by our friend Heather at OSBP. It looks delicious! Oh yes, it really is flown in. We all chipped in and bought one of them unused retired Concorde’s.  Lil Eric’s got a pilot’s license from a cereal box!  Flies ‘em in before he goes to school.  He does I tell ya.  We was gunna git a boat and ship it in but there were problems spilling the meal and the boat. Soupy “Sails”….Ohhhhhh!   I hope Heather can make enough, them Chicken’s may not show up!  They’re too busy crossing the road.   How the hell did I switch to redneck?

We had a new visitor belly up at the Tavern yesterday. Bud. Visit Bud’s Blog!  We’re gonna have a BUD for him!

And I thought this was quite amusing.  From one of our favorites…

Meanwhile across town…   ” I tell ya they’s varmints in there!  Elly-Mae got her critters in the cee-ment pond agin!   Jeeeedddd!!!!!

>click<

“Wail mister Douglas, I’m sure you’d like to buy this extension cord for your telyphone.” – ” I won’t thats proposturous!” – ” Oh Oliver, but me one!”

>click<

“Now you have to make one decision… Deal.. or no Deal…”

>click<

“Well Frank, I think he used up all nine lives…… YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!

>click<

” It’s a twister!”                         Hmmm. Ok.

Question for you.  In the Wizard of OZ.  What’s Dorothy’s last name? (no Googling)

Ciao.

Fat Sunday

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

How are you?  Sit down!  Here’s a spot for ya.  You can see the TV better from here.  What can I get you?

Well its a new year.  So here we go.

Willy is still in Florida. Want’s to talk to me personally.  I’m suspecting he’s not coming back. Ahhh..  can’t blame him. Especially with the cold weather we’ve have here in the Northeast.  I’ll have to see if I can get down there soon. (Any excuse!)

Grilled Reuben Sandwiches are on the menu, a side o’ fries!   Todays drink special is Coors Light!  What ya fancy?

The sandwich? and a Coors?   Good call, comin’ right up! Charlene’ll hook you up!  Ah yes, the Queen of the Tavern is back!  Boy I’ve missed her. We are having heavy conversations today about love. LOL   The King and Queen of failed relationships!   Things we both said we’d never do, we’ve done.  Its like resolutions.  I asked Leo yesterday if he had any resolutions this year and he said “F&ck Resolutions, if you have a problem or need to fix something, do it now!”  True.  We were joking that yesterday was “FAT SUNDAY”.  A lot of people who made resolutions..well they’re not gonna start on the first, it’s the next Monday.  How many FAT SUNDAY’s have you done last year?

At the scale manufacturers’ convention, people often wanted to weigh themselves on different scales to see if they agreed. However, some visitors abstained, not wishing to advertise their weight. A smooth-talking representative coaxed a woman onto his scale by promising her that he would not look and that she could even cover the digital display so only she could see her weight.

She finally stood on the scale, whereupon a loud, mechanical voice from within the machine announced: “One hundred and sixty-three.”

My wife said for her birthday she wanted something that goes from 0-160 in less than 10 seconds…  I bought her a bathroom scale.

Well here we go.  Have a great day!

Ciao

Happy New Year, Pass me the Pliers!

LOL, ok a bit much….  It was one of the first things that showed up when I google imaged “Happy New Year:”   Honestly!

 OSCARS TAVERN   POST HAPPY NEW YEAR.. PASS ME THE PLIERS – TAKE 2

Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

How are you today!

Stop by and we’ll give you a free drink on us.  Well only our regulars, we’d go broke.

We’re gonna be pretty busy the next few days, A New Years Celebration at The Tavern.  Still without Charlene and Willy, we will try to have a great night!  Live music from a local irish band!  We tried to get “J” from Thisnewplace, to play piano, but we’re told he’s in the islands…    (jealousy)

Anyway, them and the jukebox, we’ll be fine.  Lot’s of Hors d’ouvres (didn’t have to look that up)

So from all of us here,

HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

Looking forward to seeing you belly up in the new year!  We have lot’s of fun stuff planned!

Ciao

DavisW  wrote a fun post!  Check it out!

Baby it’s cold outside

Welcome my Friends! Welcome to Oscar’s Tavern!

Man it’s cold out!  I think the wind is making it so, but come on in and have a hot toddy on me!

Not that busy this week. Charlene is still out on vacation. Willy is still lovin’ life in Sarasota.  Lisa is here today.  We’re just sitting here yaking about the holidays.  Funny how very diferent each others are, yet in some way the same.  All crazy but good.  The Girl is here again and we are chatting up a storm. She’s a sweetie.  She has a whole bunch o’ plans for the new year. I think we all do. Or try to. Forget resolutions, they are public to break. We decided to make personal decisions about our lives to adhere to.  We will make our best attempts to try and make things better in our lives.  Yeah, it’s not resolutions, just a fresh starting point to take small steps.    I’ll keep you posted how we all make out.

Christmas was good. Quiet but good.  Spent the day with my son and his family,  my youngest, and a few others.  Nice.   Ate and drank a lot.  Well ate a lot. Usual drinking. LOL

I hope yours was.  A lot of my regulars checked in during this time off. Thanks for stopping by.

What you doing for NEW YEARS?

Have a great day and stay warm!

Ciao

Mele Kalikimaka

Charlene, Willy, Leo, Lisa, Lil Eric, Vinnie, Sally and Oscar.

And snoopy….

 

   Ciao.

Peace on Earth.

The Home Stretch

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It’s cold out! 

A lot of us up here got some snow over the weekend. I said to everyone, “what… they say snow and we’ll get like a dusting of sleet”.  Well I guess I put my foot in my mouth this time.  Snow around here in the NorthEast is up to 2 feet in some places.   Hey, usually, I’m right.

Anyway, Lisa and I shoveled the snow Saturday and each bartender took turns shoveling, or sweeping the snow.  I texted Charlene, who will be back tonight, and told her about the snow. I’m sure she’s already shoveled out. She has a lot of friends who will do it for her.  She escaped. 

Threw together a neat little lunch surprise.  Tomato Soup Spaghetti.  A Campbells soup recipe a friend told me about.  Warm soup for the cold, and starches for energy.   I think a lil glass of wine will go with that. 

Got a post card from Willy. He say’s it’s warm there.  Saw Santa in a swimsuit.   maybe he’s been nhitting the Dewars a bit much.  Says hi to all of us.  He saw Charlene while she was there and said they had a nice dinner and cocktails.

Well, let me get back out to shoveling. The trap door to the basement where we have deliveries is still under a foot of snow!

Stay Warm!

Ciao!

Holly lujah

Well we all be decked out and stuff yo!

Thats what one of our regulars said last night when he walked in.  Funny guy.  He’s an accountant for a firm up the street.

Lisa is in the kitchen today. Says we have a treat today.  Italian Hot Dogs!  These suckers are a foot long, on a roll with potato’s, onions, peppers, and all kinds of cholesterol raising stuff!   Go ahead , cheat today!   So I’m suggesting Mutt and Jeff day!  Short and Tall?  ….    Shot and a beer.   Ya’ know…I’m thinking an “Irish Car Bomb”.  A real one is Jameson in Guinness.   But its gotten “girly” as Willy would say and become Guiness and Baileys.  All in all still tasty and will make ya wiggle your toes!

Yes Lisa has been a busy gal running the “culinary department and seasonal maintainance group”, as she called it yesterday.  This reminds me of my corporate days…  LOL  Guess I’ll have to put in a request for her compensation and see if it gets approved.  LOL      Ah, she deserves it.  Not a Festivus Wonderland, very much decorated!   Lot’s of Holly.   She must have gotten some wild deal at the local Sam’s Club. Or possibly a donation from a friendly trucker.  There’s a few that stop in en route to flirt with her and Charlene. Somehow we have an excess of holly roping.  So its everywhere!  BUT it looks nice!  The looping over urinals is a bit much…   Good thing we’re a non smoking establishment. A “two hander” with a cigarette would torch us! 

On the Twelve Days of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me . . .

December 14, 2003

Dearest Dave,

I went to the door today, and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree. This was a delightful gift! I couldn’t have been more surprised or pleased darling!

With truly the deepest love,
Agnes

December 15, 2003

Dearest Dave,

Today the postman brought me yet another of your sweet gifts. The two turtule doves that arrived today are adorable, and I’m delighted by your thoughtful and generous ways.

With all of my love,
Your Agnes

December 16, 2003

Dearest Dave,

You’ve truly been too kind! I must protest; I don’t deserve such generosity. The thought of getting three French hens amazes me. Yet, I am not surprised–what more should I expect from such a nice person.

Love,
Agnes

December 17, 2003

Dear Dave,

Four calling birds arrived in the mail today. They are truly nice but don’t you think that enough is enough? You are being too romantic.

Affectionately,
Agnes

December 18, 2003

Dearest darling Dave,

It was a surprise to get five golden rings! I now have one for every finger. You truly are impossible darling, yet oh how I love it! Quite frankly, all of those squarking birds from the previous days were starting to get on my nerves. Yet, you managed to come through with a beautiful valuable gift!

All my love,
Agnes

December 19, 2003

Dear Dave,

When I opened my door, there were actually six geese a-laying on my front steps. So you’re back to the birds again, huh? Those geese are dear, but where will I keep them? The neighbors are complaining, and I am unable to sleep with all the racket. Please stop dear.

Cordially,
Agnes

December 20, 2003

Dave,

What is with you and those stupid birds!? Seven swans a-swimming!! What kind of sick joke is this!!?? There are bird droppings everywhere! They never shut up, and I don’t get any sleep!!! I’m a nervous wreck! It’s not funny you weirdo, so stop with the birds.

Sincerely,
Agnes

December 21, 2003

O.K. wise guy,

The birds were bad enough. Now what do you expect me to do with eight maids a-milking? If that’s not bad enough, they had to bring their cows!! The front lawn was completely ruined by them, and I can’t move in my own house! Just lay off me or you’ll be sorry!

Agnes

December 22, 2003

Hey loser,

What are you? You must be some kind of sadist!! Now there are nine pipers playing, and they certainly do play! They haven’t stopped chasing those maids since they got here! The cows are getting upset, and they’re stepping all over those screeching birds. The neighbors are getting up a petition to evict me, and I’m going out of my mind!

You’ll get yours!
Agnes

December 23, 2003

You rotten scum!!!

There are now ten ladies dancing! There is only one problem with that! They’re dancing twenty-four hours a day all around me with the pipers upsetting the cows and the maids. The cows can’t sleep, and they are going to the bathroom everywhere! The building commissioner has subpoenaed me to give cause as to why the house shouldn’t be condemned! I can’t even think of a reason! You creep! I’m sicking the police on you!

One who means it!

December 24, 2003

Listen you evil, sadistic, maniac!

What’s with the eleven lords-a-leaping?!? They are leaping across the rooms breaking everything and even injuring some of the maids! The place smells, is an absolute mad house, and is about to be condemned! At least the birds are quiet; they were trampled to death by the cows. I hope you are satisfied–you rotten vicious worthless piece of garbage!

Your sworn enemy,
Agnes

December 25, 2003

Boy we are wordy today…  Leo is working the bar this morning.

Well have a great day!

Ciao!

On the 16th Day of Christmas…

Well hello there!   I’ve been so busy. With Charlene and Willy enjoying the weather in the Sunshine State, I have my hands full!   I’m having food shipped in from OSBP today!   Heather has Cheesy Pepper Chicken for us!   Lets wash that down with Michelob Ultra!

Well a lot of folk are stopping by after shopping. People obviously are spending less this year. Maybe smarter shopping.  I for one am being more practical.  Instead of buying a number of gifts for my staff here, I’m thinking more about the gift.  One nice gift.  Easier and cheaper.  Only problem is what do you buy adults?  I try to stay away from clothes, unless its like a sweater, a novelty tee shirt.. you know.  Maybe just gift checks.  Not personal but effective.

Lisa has been decorating the bar. She’s doing a nice job. We couldn’t find the Mehorah, so I had to run out to get one.  It was set up late. but we have good intentions. The inflatable Santa we had last year leaks, so we replaced it with an animated one that moves a candle back and forth. We replaced the candle with an empty Coors Light bottle. Hey, Santa likes a beer now and then doesn’t he?    Vinnie’s mom made a tray of italian cookies….  they didn’t last long. I think the pizzeles went in like five minutes.  We shouldn’t have left them on the bar!   (Don’t worry Charlene, I saved you some!) 

What do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees? ?Horn?-aments!

How can Santa’s sleigh possibly fly through the air? You would too if you were pulled by flying reindeer!

What would a reindeer do if it lost its tail? She?d go to a ?re-tail?shop for a new one!

Why is Prancer always wet? Because he?s a ?rain?-deer!

Well let me get back to the bar.   Have a great day and for those of you “more North”  stay warm!

Ciao! 

On the 9th day of Christmas…

Well hello there!   C’mon in, it’s damned cold out!  (or so I hear) Place your seat on a seat and rest a while. What can I get ya? Charlene’s got a real cozy combo for ya today, homemade Chicken Pot Pie!  We’re gonna wash it down with a nice glass of Avia Merlot.   That should set you up just right.  

Mmm that sounds tasty even down here!  I’m in Puerto Rico again. Missing all that fun Winter weather….   Hey, I DO have to come home.  I looked ahead on the weather sites and see it will be COLD back home then. We’re having a little shindig for Willy next week. He’s off to the promiseland. Sarasota.  So I need to be back by Saturday.  And Charlene is off to Florida next week to visit family.  Lot’s to do.

I took a bunch of friends out to dinner last night to the Palm resturant in San Juan (Isla Verde).  We had a great time.  I like to take care of people who help me. This was an appreciation dinner. Eddie was with me. We told the guys to bring thier wives. It was nice. Good eating. Eddie and I were suprised, we drank all of the resturants supply of Medalla beer.   (Yes we walked to dinner). Ended up having to finish up with El Presidente, a Dominican beer. It was ok.  Everyone had a good time.  Eddie and I walked back to our hotel stuffed!

A blonde went out to her mail box, looked in, closed the door, and went back in the house. A few minutes later she went out and looked in the mail box again. She did this several times and her neighbor that was watching her said, “You must be expecting a very important letter today the way you keep looking into your mail box.”The blond answered,“No, I’m working on my computer and it keeps telling me that I have mail.”

Eddie flew back today. I’m here through Friday.  Mid-day flight home to the cold.  That “Oscar’s South” Idea sounds better every day….

Ciao!
