'Who Comes to Speak for the Skin and the Bone?'
Dear readers, while getting very, very drunk over this long, long weekend, remember whose time you're on. More than a break – and god knows he deserves a break – the working man deserves your respect and acknowledgment.
We're cutting it short today to get a head start on squeezing the last bit of summer out of this quickly chilling city. If you're in Brooklyn, come buy us a drink at Rosemary's RIGHT NOW! The rest of you: don't get hurt out there.

Cord, you may think I'm bitchy at you sometimes, but really, I adore you. I just like to be fiesty now and then. I'd totally buy you a shot of whisky (the good stuff too…you're only as nice as the quality of liquor you serve).
she may adore you, but i think you're a dick.
but that's what i like about you. winks!
If I was in Brooklyn, I would totally buy you drinks. More than the 3.50 styrofoam cup of Bud, too!
ilz,
your googlefu is strong
ilz, beer is never served in styrofoam. that's just in poor taste right there.
Huh?
It's my birthday this long weekend. I will pour one out for all my homies, and one more for the working man. I may pour them out directly into my mouth, maybe via funnel, but the fact remains that they will be poured.
You know what I like about Cord? The way he can be such a dick sometimes and still appreciate the dickiness™ (yeah, I made that word up) of others. Have a couple of shots of Grey Goose on me.
And happy b'day, janice!
My b day too over the weekend Janice. Let's all get drunk and then share hangover cures. Happy Labor Day all!
I drink my beer out of a thermos. And not an ordinary thermos.
Thanks! I just now realized it was Labor Day weekend. I was searching for hotel rooms for a spur of the moment trip and couldn't figure out why they were more expensive than normal. No, I'm not oblivious, why?
bb&b that's what i like about you.
Gawd Cord! You could have given us a little more warning. I know quite a few people that would have made a point to be there. Whatever.
I gave up drinking two weeks ago.
:-0
Have fun and be safe out there!
Oh, and Cord, I used to be a member of a Union (IATSE Local 600) and Unions aren't really for the worker. They're for the Union. Solidarity is a good thing, but in my opinion, Unions are not.
Sorry. I'm cranky. (See above post.)
happy birthday hags.
seacrest out.
mae-
"Once a regular old-neighborhood hangout, this congenial bar has been steadily usurped by the cool youngsters who pile in every weekend. White Christmas lights and strings of seasonal decorations create a festive spirit in an otherwise plain room, which is furnished with red booths and bar stools, and a jukebox filled with rock-and-roll and retro standards. Despite the changes in clientele, the biggest draw remains the 32-ounce Styrofoam cup of Bud for $3.50"
Come hang out in Manhattan, goddamnit.
HAP-PY BIRTHDAY JANIIIIIICE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ilz- stalker! just kidding. i was not referring to that particular establishment. i was speaking as a brewed alcoholic beverage connoisseur who associates with like-minded individuals. we would never drink beer from a styrofoam cup. why? because after a few that cup is going to be punctured and/or destroyed rendering it useless as a liquid receptacle.
Oh, I have HAD A BEER!!!
mae, you are right. ABSOLUTELY right. (Hey Absolut! You see that shout out right there?)
But, after I am two sheets in the wind, all I care about is getting that third sheet up and flying high.
I've been known take the styrofoam cup at that point. I have no sense of decorum once I am two sheets to the wind.
I might be there right now.
HAPPY HAG WEEKEND BIRTHDAYS!!!
mae- It's true. I am. But I just know of Rosemary's because my friend sent me pictures of it this week. She's going to NYU.
If she sees Cord there I will die of jealousy.
