Well, dear readers, I think we all better just put on our pointy party hats and colored tights and pantaloons, I think we all better break out the cheese slices and the ham chunks, I think we’d all better dance the Hora or perhaps even the Hully-Gully because we’ve got a birthday celebration going on here at haineshisway.com. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, we’ve got a birthday celebration going on here at haineshisway.com. And just whose birthday are we celebrating? Why, dear reader Susan’s birthday, that’s whose birthday we’re celebrating. So, beat the drums cause here comes thoroughly birthday Susan now. Let’s all give her a big haineshisway.com birthday wish – on the count of three: One, two, three – A BIG HAINESHISWAY.COM BIRTHDAY WISH TO SUSAN GORDON!
Well, I’m exhausted already from all the merriment and mirth and laughter and legs. Last night I had yet another lively and sparkling supper at Musso and Frank, with Mr. Charles Pogue, his ever-lovin’ Julieanne, and my friend Beth. Going to Musso and Frank on a Saturday night, even with a reservation, is quite different than going to Musso and Frank on a Friday night with a reservation. Despite our eight o’clock reservation we were not seated until eight-thirty. I find that very annoying. But the joint was jumpin’, the joint was packed to the rafters. It was, in fact, so loud in there that we could barely hear each other. Mr. Charles Pogue kept complaining that he could only hear ever other word or so. So, if I said to him, “How is your dinner tonight, Mr. Charles Pogue” what he heard was, “Is tonight Pogue”. Our waiter was quite elderly (most of the waiters at Musso and Frank have been there for over forty years) and because of the noise he could barely hear our orders. Hence, when Mrs. Pogue ordered a J&B on the rocks with a spritz and a twist, she received a J&B on the rocks sans spritz and sans twist. We finally got him to bring the spritz but the twist never arrived. He managed to get the dinner order right. For dessert, Mr. Pogue ordered bread pudding with whipped cream, I ordered rice pudding with whipped cream and Beth ordered Spumoni. The first problem was that our waiter served our dessert to the table next to us. They kindly passed it along to us. However, instead of Mr. Pogue’s bread pudding with whipped cream, he got rice pudding without whipped cream. My rice pudding was without whipped cream. Beth’s Spumoni was fine. I yelled at the waiter to come over (if we hadn’t gotten his attention we never would have seen him again) and I told him to bring some fershluganah whipped cream. Mr. Pogue decided not to make an issue of the mistaken rice pudding. Still and all, we had a lovely and scintillating time, except for the brief moment when a woman at a nearby table spilled water and her cretin of an elderly husband screamed at her for doing so. After dinner we retired to the Pogue’s lovely home in the hills for some further scintillating conversation. We met the Pogue’s dog, Cully, and the Pogue’s cat, whose name I can’t remember. Cully was adorable, and very friendly. Cully loves to eat, and apparently will eat anything. Cully was eating a wine cork when we arrived, and whilst we we touring the house, Cully went into Beth’s purse and ate a package of gum.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because we’ve got some more partying to do and I must hit the road, Jack, and then come back for our Unseemly Live Chat.
Has anyone noticed how long these fershluganah notes are for a Sunday? I must now cut them short and get them posted, posthaste.
Don’t forget, tonight is our Unseemly Live Chat at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time and I’d like to see as many Hainsies/Kimlets there as possible because we will be celebrating dear reader Susan’s actual birthday, along with having a lively and sparkling time discussing the matters of the day. Be there or be round.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must write, I must do a bit of work on the new CD, I must eat various and sundried foodstuffs, and I must be at our Live Chat. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you get to discuss any topic your collective hearts desire. So, post away, my pretties, lots of topics, and I’ll be checking in often to offer my thoughts on whatever topics are being discussed.
