In Defence Of The Trivia Maestro, Called "The Omnipotent Q"

The Great Trivia Maestro, heretofore called "The Omnipotent Q" in the Person called John Brian Quinn, has come under harsh criticism for his Rendition of Trivia at his home base called "Professor Thom's", also base to the One called "The Pez." Someone went on Yelp.Com to launch a bit of Vitriol, directed at Senor Quinn, with no constructive critique:

Perhaps, he who launched this Vitriolic Diatribe, may be honing his "Intellectual Skills" by listening to one of the two "Institutes Of The Intellectually-Challenged."

The Omnipotent Q Trivia Challenge is a well researched event, attracting many fans from around the NY Metropolitan Area to The Ultimate Red Sox Themed Pub, Professor Thom's at 219 2nd Avenue in The East Village. Teams Like "Eamonn & Mychal Give The Q The Fourth Degree", give flavor to The Q's Evening of Challenge Of One's Mind.

Let's put it this way, in that "The Q" could hold his own with One Rex Murphy, in the World of Pursuit of all things Trivial;

"Fallen"-It's A Wrap and I Don't Mean One At Mc Donald's Either

The 10 Minute Short Film, Produced by Edward Ryan & Steve Hupp, and Directed by Eldar Karpov, called "Fallen", about a young doorman called Kevin, played by a young man called Nikolas, finished shooting in Manhattan on East 88th Street, close to 2nd Avenue:

The Premise is a young man becomes a doorman. He's nervous and he's lost other jobs. He even attempts Suicide, but survives a plunge from a building with nary a scratch. His mentor is a nice old German Man called Klaus. I played Klaus, as I know something about various Language Accents, which is something I do in the Web Series, Produced by Amanda Cole, called "Peripheral City" where my role is as an Alcoholic Man named Piotr;

Pizza Party took place & then the final scene. The Pizza came from East 84th Street & 2nd Avenue, perhaps the best pizza in the Metropolitan Area(Nice Thin Crust, great sauce & cheese);

Final Scene was shot. Got paid a some dollars & went downtown to Professor Thom's, even though another Red Sox Pub called Pat O'Brien's was at East 88th Street & 2nd Avenue. When I got to Thom's, I read a section on bars to watch tomorrow's Jets-Colts Match-Up. One of the bars listed was "The Riviera Cafe' & Sports Bar", long on the Professor Thom's Enemies List. A chant of "F--- The Riviera" took hold in Thom's;

It was a great few hours and a great evening, in front of the camera and later;

The Pez Report

Oh, Buddy?

On Sunday, January 12th, 1969, in the days before email, Chat and Macs, with Joe Willie Namath, the NY Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts, 16-7 in Miami's Orange Bowl. A certain unsung hero, who kicked 1 Extra Point & 3 Field Goals was the last of the non soccer kickers, Jim Turner. He was in reality, the only real offense, along with a Touchdown Run by Matt Snell. The Jets, the 1st Champions of Shea Stadium, had a great definsive coordinator by the name of Buddy Ryan.

Today, his son, Rex, has the reinns to the team, who after a 17-14 triumph over the favored SD Chargers, go onto Indianapolis to Face the Colts.

Like Father, Like Son!

Is There An Uptown-Downtown Red Sox Bar War In Manhattan In The Making? Stay Tuned Following These Messages And A Word From Your Local FOX Station

Last evening, I was viewing Red Sox at Twins, watching N E S N, at The Hairy Monk, at East 25th Street & 3rd Avenue, in Murray Hill, Manhattan. The Hairy Monk and Professor Thom's, are both Red Sox-Themed Bars, in Manhattan. Both bars have their customers:

It was grand seeing N E S N, with Announcer Boy and Eck, after 3 Days of Gary, Keith and Ron on PIX 11 & S N Y. Whoa, am I ever revived! It was great hearing Orsillo, again, though I miss Remy, a LOT, but Eck is fun;

I sat next to the ONLY Red Sox Fan who viewed N E S N in NYC, this past weekend, by using the Plymouth Proxy Feed to his laptop, getting N E S N, and feeding it to his TV Set. He also coined the phrase "F---, F---ing Kazmarek, F--- Him", a favorite chant of the Professor Thom's Crew, in the 7th Inning of Red Sox Games;

Ennis, The One Who Saw N E S N all weekend, is now a Hairy Monk Regular & has declared war on Professor Thom's;

One weekend, when The Bruins abso-f--kinglutely SUCKED, he went in to watch the Game at Professor Thom's. But, as Ennis Put it, MONEY Rules what goes on the Flat Screen TVs in Thom's. He also calls the place a "Bandwagon" joint. He may have a point, as I saw Red Sox Fans, whom I've never seen before in my life, during the Mets-Red Sox Series. He has viewed Bruins Games at "The Riviera" at 7th Avenue South and West 4th Street;

I remember watching The Subway Series at Thom's. Instead of the Pleasant and Intelligent S N Y Feed, a # of us endured Michael Kay on Y E S(Yankees Entertainment SUCKS). "The Riviera", a place scorned by Thom's Regulars, as well as by The Esteemed Vernon Edward Trotter of The Hairy Monk, had the decency NOT to use the Y E S Feed, lest there be bullets whizzing all over 7th Avenue South. Even Sertell knows that it's NOT Wise to play the Y E S Feed during The Subway Series;

The Hairy Monk deploys Bartenders from my Favorite European Nation(Ireland, a Nation from where I'm descended from). It's an intimate, Red Sox Themed Pub and a great NYC Neighborhood Bar. Alexa, from Litchfield, CT, sat next to me and she was fun to be with. Two New Englanders, both U S Marines on Shore Leave, were there for shots & have 10 Months to go. Mike From Boston stopped in The Hairy Monk, after discovering that Professor Thom's Was Closed, yesterday afternoon(Surprising);

If you've seen my FOX Sports Parody, a bar called "The Hairy Professor", is named in the parody. It's just the merged names of both Professor Thom's and The Hairy Monk;

Two Red Sox Bars At War-ONLY on The Island Of Manhattan;

"Thommies" In The "Citi" Assessing Citi Field

John Quinn, Kim Rossi, Adam, Chris Carrera and Chris Wertz(Governor Of Red Sox Nation-NY), who arrived with his wife, who wore a "Wright-eous" #5 Mets Jersey. Chris Carrera wore Mets Gear. Adam wore a Sox Jersey. JB Quinn was in Red Sox Cap and bundled up(He being an Old Shea Stadium Veteran, he knows how cold the Ballpark by Flushing Bay can be):

5 Red Sox Bloggers were seated in Promenade Reserved in Left Field in Section 536. 5 "Thommies" were seated in Row 9, while I was in Row 2, Seat #9;

Chris Carrera, who I've Seen at Shea Stadium, assessed that Citi Field Seating tries to bring the fans too close to the action, as our Left Field View was obscured. Adam concurred;

Promenade Reserved is about the Height of Shea Stadium's Old Mezzanine;

Still a Cool Park to me, but Adam and Chris Carrera, were right in their assessments;

Wrap-Up At Professor Thom's

Topped Off The Evening with some Buckler Near Brews(No Alcohol). Sharon, a Server at Professor Thom's, rooted for the Mets, who finally have a More Decent Bullpen:


Final Score was NY Mets 4 and Boston Red Sox 3.I even gave Sharon a Carvel Mets Helmet Cup Souvenir. At least the Cocession Prices have gone down this year;


Final Photo was of K-Rod striking out Ryan Khoury, to end the Game;

These TWO Toy With Their Team's Fans Minds

Mets Fans have to realize that THIS DUO LOVES to play MIND GAMES with the Fans:


A New Ball Park($iti Field), which is a Gold Mine, a TV Network, and IMMENSE Sources of REVENUE, yet THIS DUO, acts like they're running a Team in a SMALL MARKET;


The Guy on The Right is making Player Personnel Decisions. Is there any reason WHY The METS missed The Cut in '07 and '08;


Make 1 or 2 GREAT Deals, then hide the bankbook?


INFURIATE Fans who've gone to Shea, fans who wonder why THIS DUO Abuses the crap out of them?


Instead of Manny Ramirez, there was STEVE Trachsel, whose DIVIDEND was pitching like warmed over manure in the '06 NLCS?


Omar Minaya, like Steve Phillips before him, was ONLY a FIGUREHEAD;


And THIS DUO is on The "F--- The Riviera" List at "Professor Thoms" on 2nd Avenue. You probably wonder WHY;

STOP Torturing METS FANS, you two;

The Story Of "Lansdowne On The Hudson" Can Be Accessed By Clicking On The Title-My Comments On That Place May Be Read Below

The Place, known as "The Riviera Bar and Sports Cafe", has been around since 1969, at 7th Avenue South and West 4th Street in Greenwich Village, on the Island of Manhattan. It had the Title Of Haven For Red Sox Fans, living in NYC, but the place is held in derision:

You don't FIRE The Guy, who put you on The Map. THAT Guy went and opened a much, much-better Red Sox Haven, at 219 2nd Avenue between East 13th and East 14th Streets, in The East Village;

There are NO Yankee Fan Partners, like some dude named Sertell;

Fresh Chili Con Carne' is served, NOT Canned Chili. The Canned Chili at the Riviera caused me some food poisoning(Or was it a Yeast Attack);

The Riviera is NOT the ONLY SHOW in town. Professor Thom's In The East Village and The Hairy Monk at East 25th Street and 3rd Avenue, in Murray Hill, are 2 Prime Red Sox Locations. One of the Old Riviera Regulars, W. Vernon Trotter, has set up "The Hairy Monk" Branch of Red Sox Nation;

Meanwhile, the Bartender and Founder of The Riviera's Red Sox Following, Jim Mc Guire, is one of The Owners of Professor Thom's as Well as Mike Higgins and Chris Wertz(Wertz Being Governor Of Red Sox Nation-New York, according to The Home Office at 4 Yawkey Way in Boston's Kenmore Square-Back Bay Area). We all treat The Riviera with the UTTER CONTEMPT that it deserves;

WHAT Red Sox Themed Pub would have a Picture Of That Utterly-Contemptable Traitorous PO #2, Roger Clemens, on a Bar? ONLY The Riviera has it. ONLY 3 Tap Beers? Professor Thom's has 16 Tap Beers, while The Hairy Monk has 8, with the "Perfect Pint" of Poured Guiness Stout. The Riviera cannot make that claim;

I 1st met Jim Mc Guire at The Riviera on the 1st Day of 2005, in The Bar Area of The Riviera. Later, in April, '05, after the Red Sox raised the '04 World Series Championship Banner, a number of us discovered that Jim was canned by Sertell And His Cohorts;

By 2006, The Chant of "F--- The Riviera" was born. The List contains names of people associated with The Riviera, Various NY Yankees and other N'erdowells from FOX Sports. Recently, The Names of Omar Minaya, Tony Bernazard, Fred and Jeffy Wilpon, have been added to the Riviera List, and our usual Standby of "F--k Kazmerczyk, F--k Him", which is used as a 7th Inning Stretch Chant;

Buck and Mc Carver(Mc Cavah)? Oh, are those 2 ever on The Riviera List! They came on screen one night, and caught Derision from Thom's Regulars. Eric Gagne' is on The List for being a 2007 World Series "Ring Thief", as his Relief Pitching was a cause for contempt;

Oh? As For The Riviera, Red Sox Fans coming to Professor Thom's, tend to deride The Riviera, as the Worst Red Sox Bar Experience, they've ever had. The Same is said by those going to The Hairy Monk about The Riviera;

Oh, well!

These Are The Actual Tim Mc Carver Comments

"It's extraordinary -- the dichotomy between what he was in Boston and what he is in Los Angeles," McCarver said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I mean, talk about wearing out your welcome in a town, and it was a long welcome with the Red Sox. But some of the things he did were simply despicable, despicable -- like not playing, refusing to play. Forgetting what knee to limp on. And now it's washed, it's gone."

Tim Mc Carver put this quite-well:

Manny did piss me off, ESPECIALLY, when he wouldn't take the bat off his shoulder, in an At Bat vs Mariano Rivera at Yankee Stadium II, in July, with The Game on FOX. It was disgusting, to say the least;

I remember because Jim Mc Guire and I let Manny have it, for his latest "Manny Being Manny" Antics, which, by that time, were NOT FUNNY;

Jim Mc Guire is one of the Proprietors of Professor Thom's, The Centre of The Red Sox World on The Island of Manhattan. We both agree that The Riviera Bar And Sports Cafe', is a Tampa Bay Rays Bar(LOL);

AND, now MANNY is on "The Riviera List", where the word "F--k" Precedes his name;

Later!

OK, Bud-WHERE Re The Tampa Bay Rays Bars In Manhattan? Brooklyn? Hartford, CT?

As my friend Fitzy, the Consumate Boston Sports Fan would wonder? WHY is M L B pushing this crap, on behalf of a Manhattan Pizza Chain?

Just WHERE TF is "Rays Nation"? Is it in Little Italy, by Old St. Patrick's Cathedral?

Just WTF are there any Tampa Bay Rays Bars?

I KNOW of NONE in Manhattan. I Know of NONE in Brooklyn. I Know of NONE in Hartford, CT;

I don't think "Game On Cafe'" at Fenway Park, Logan International Airport or Atlantic City, are Rays Bars;

Professor Thom's is OUT. That's The Red Sox Centre of The Nation In NYC. The Hairy Monk, The Place where Theodore Natan Epstein did a Guest Bartending, is ALSO OUT. The Sin Bin at East 58th Street and 1st Avenue, owned by Ivan Spence, would also be out, as Red Sox Games are shown there, as Mr Spence used to do the Bar at Night in The Hairy Monk;

There might be ONE Bar, of Red Sox Orbit, which most of us hold in CONTEMPT. It's The Place with The Clemens In A Sox Uniform Shirt, and only 3 Kinds of Beer. The "F" Word precedes the Name of This Place. We've been known to, unmercifully, mock the S--t out of that place, a Proverbial "Gary's Old Time Tavern", a Haven for Yankee Fans and other a--h-l-s;

THAT Place, which we designate as a RAYS Bar, is The Riviera Bar And Sports Cafe', a great place for canned Chili and Flatulence;

F--k The Riviera. F--k F--k--g Kazmerczyck(A 7th Inning Stretch Chant at Professor Thom's), F--k Him;

AND F--K RAYS Pizza!

The Yankees Out Of Post-Season From An Economic Standpoint

By The NY Yankees not being in Post-Season, it means that City Of New York and MTA Revenues will be down. Imagine few Subway Fares in October at 161st Street-River Avenue on The IRT Lexington-Jerome-Woodlawn #4 Train and The IND 6th Avenue-Bedford Park Boulevard D Line. It would be like the Era of 1982 through 1994, when there was NO Post-Season:

It might go on for a few years, especially with A-Rod around and a Non-Contending Yankees Team;

The Bronx Will Be Quiet;

Economically, Hotel Business would be down, as The Yankees do draw the Out Of Area Fans. Toll Revenues would be down on the George Washington Bridge, a Main Gateway for Yankee Stadium. Stan's Sports Bar would be nearly empty. The Yankee Tavern would suffer a loss;

Professor Thom's and The Hairy Monk would still be profitable, as Football and The Red Sox would still be in Session;

And The Riviera? Well, you might say that any Good Red Sox Bar would NEVER have a Picture of Roger Clemens on its' bar and would serve real and tasty Food. F--- The Riviera and F--- Kazmarek;

A Special NY Mets Edition Of "The Riviera List" Plus All The Usual Suspects

F--- Jeffy Wilpon! You didn't want a Manager who can win, so you used everything in your pea sized brain to insure a collapse. Willie deserved the money. You won't be getting mine in '09. Bernazard was your little pet s--ta-- spy. Wee Children cried over the Collapse:

F--- Omar Minaya! OK, Captain Fire Sale, what next? Was Jeffy behind all that JUNK to run real fans out of Shea Stadium? Explain Aaron Sele, Chan Ho Park AND Scott Schowenweiss, over Darren Oliver and Chad Bradford. Explain Tony Bernazard, that Horse's A--, who was Jeffy's Spy. Rushing Pelfry wasn't a bright idea, unless this was a plan to junk a season and save the good teams for $iti Field;

As Always, F--- Fred Wilpon, who spent more time conspiring against Doubleday, than trying to win. Put Jeffy in charge of the team. He's lucky he can run the Cyclones;

And, as usual, F--k Kazmerczyk-F--k him;

Later, Gators!

"Lost-A Soap Opera" & An Irish Touch To This Evening

As earlier today, I went to my "Classic Kojak" haircut & my hair is as gone from my head, as it was from Telly Savalas. In short, I look like a "Fordham Baldie" from the movie "The Wanderers". This evening, I watched the "Cult" Favorite, "Lost" on abc @ "Professor Thom's" in Manhattan. Interesting soap opera! I don't care about "Reality TV". IT'S A GOODIE:

A Group called "Team Cleary" ran a benefit for a man who's a parapelegic in a wheelchair. Irish & American Music blared over a bagpipe. As St Patrick's Day draws nigh, it was appropriate. It also marked the 1st time where I didn't burst into tears during "Amazing Grace" on the Pipes. This was last evening in Professor Thom's;

MD-1500-Some K Of C Free Throw Coverage & Much Thanks

I have a feeling that Jere Smith is something of an inspiration for all of this camera work, even if a lot of it is from a Cell Phone. The Bigger Project will come online in a week or so:

That'll have some contest highlights+shots from various sites of the contest+some commentary. Please note that neither of the Two Gentlemen From FOX Sports, in the above photo, will contribute any commentary, whatsoever, though they may be lampooned for their efforts @ a later time;

But, a lot of you have contributed to this blog from over the past few years, so I will mention You all, NOW;

In The Research Department, The Veritable "Encyclopaedia Britannica" of This Blog, The Redoubtable, Omnipotent Q, John B. Quinn of Midwood, Brooklyn. When something is wrong, I hear about it, forthwith from The Omnipotent Q. You're right about the Mets Deficit in 1969, as @ 1 Point, they were 9.5 Games behind The Cubs;

Jere Smith of "A Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory", who got me to liven up this blog with pics, videos & illustrations. Of course with this eMac, running on 1 Ghz Processing Power on Mac OS X, 10.5.1(Leopard), it's much-easier now than when I had a G3 iMac, running on only 400Mhz;

Peter N of Farmington, CT, 12 Miles from Hartford, on how to keep writing about our "Olde Towne Team", & making it interesting;

Jim Sullivan of Watertown, MA, Also Known As "Suldog";

William Roger Clemens, who "Fitzy" sends a Mammoth "GFY" to, & so do I, just because...;

Kaylee In Phoenix, AZ, away from her native land(Boston), who, even in Illness, added so much, to uplift everyone's spirits;

Christine E, in PA and Laura in VA;

The Gang @ "Professor Thom's", who have given the World Their Own, Unique 7th Inning Stretch Chant of "F--- Kazmarek";

Amy from "Pasquinade", a Rhode Island Woman, living in Boston, adding to my sense of Snarkiness, in my rants;

The Boston Red Sox, for that Beautiful '07 World Championship, come hell, high water or Eric Gagne';

Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez & his LACK Of Clutch Hitting;

James Timothy Mc Carver Of FOX Sports, who has kept us bloggers, busy all year, with your memorable gaffes("I Think Youkilis would make a good #8 Hitter, With The Pitcher's Spot Due Up");

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, for freeing up the Traditional Latin Mass, making it more-accessible, & of which I've been to Several Times last year and Once this Year;

The NY Yankees for choking in Post-Season, AGAIN;

The Riviera Cafe' And Sports Bar, for being The ABSOLUTELY WORST Red Sox Fan Place in either Boston or NYC;
To "The Dropkick Murphys" for my Newly Acquired Appreciation for Celtic Punk Rock;
To The NY Mets, who've shown me there is such thing as a Love-Hate Relationship in Baseball. It's where Fans Love That Team, only for the team to kick their Loyal Fans To The Curb;

Thanks To All Of You-It's been a Great Ride;

A Reading From The Book Of The "Profitable" Isaiah

"I'm Not Going ANYWHERE. Neither is my team":

Last Night with an air of Certain "SUCKtitude", the Knicks showed up on the Parquet Floor in TD Banknorth Garden in Boston;

They left early in the 2nd Qtr, as far as play was concerned, losing 105 to 59 to the Revamped Celtics;

Oh & Yes, Both Dolans, with emphasis on Jim, are now on "The Riviera List";

3 More Guys Added To The Infamous "Riviera" List

This is where it gets wilder in addition to the Professor Thom's World Series Chant of "F--- Kazmercyk", chanted in Post Season in the 7th Inning:

The Mets Two Greatest Clubhouse Barristers, Alois Leiter & Johnny "Load 'Em Up" Franco, are here for the '08 Season. Leiter is a SHILL on the YES Network, for some team in The Bronx & was mentioned in the Plot to rid the Mets Of Scott Kazmir;

John Franco never did lower his Rock Music in his palatial estate in Todt Hill, Staten Island & that's why the Golf Club he wanted to join, told him to stuff it. Also was mentioned in the Plot To Get Rid Of Scott Kazmir;

Mets Pitching Coach Rick Peterson, also mentioned in that same infamous plot, & is DESPISED by Mets Pitchers who were Traded(Just Ask Heath Bell);

The Word "F---" will proceed your names, guys, during assorted chantings of "The List";

Like The Great Fitzy Would Say "GFY";

Mike-RSN-NYC-Queens

The Post-Postseason @ Professor Thom's-Red Sox HQ In NYC

So be it-College Football on Saturdays & The NFL on Sundays & Monday Nights:

If The Patriots are involved, The Playing of "Dirty Water", "Sweet Caroline", "Tessie" & "Send Up To Boston", are mandatory victory songs. After all, The Patriots have won every Game played, while Bellichick plots his moves in a Brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn;

During the week, the NBA & NHL, are on, with The Bruins on NESN, The Rangers, Devils & Islanders on MSG; The Celtics on FSN-NE & The Knicks on MSG, while the Nets are on YES & Michael Kay is NOT on it. The, the NBA is on ESPN & TNT;

TBS is running movies. Mercifully, NO ONE has to hear Chip Caray;
On FOX, we have to hear Joe Buck, only he's with Troy Aikman, NOT Tim Mc Carver;

Then there's the Comedically-Mandatory Recitation of "The Riviera List", where every name is preceded by the expletive "F---";

It ends when Ennis, chants "F--- F---ing Kazmarek-F--- him";

To those members of Red Sox Nation, visiting NYC, AVOID "The Rivera Cafe' & Sports Bar" & come to "Professor Thom's", The HQ of Red Sox Nation-NYC;

Even Go to "The Hairy Monk", which is "Red Sox Romance Land"(@ Least For Me, It Is);

But, by all means, Absof---inglutely, avoid "The Riviera"-It's a Pink Hat Dive-I had food poisoning from eating the Chili, there. There's no "Big Giant PEZ", there. No REAL Red Sox Bar would EVER have a Portrait of Roger Clemens, wearing a Red Sox Jersey, but these dudes do, hence "The Riv's Permanent S--- Listing";

I can't wait until the 1st Spring-Training Game, in Fort Meyers, FL;

In Last Night's Great Triumph, Westbrook & Company Looked Like The '07 Mets In The Last Week & Boy Was That A Great Red Sox Triumph

Usually, "The Jake" in Cleveland is overrun by Red Sox Nation on a jaunt, during the Regular Season. How many times was the place half-empty this year?

Then, it came Post-Season & every "Fan" & his/her Mom, was there, for ALDS & ALCS, waving those Idiotic Rally Towels, which started as the "Homer Hankies" in Minnesota, in 1987;

& then up 3-1 in the ALCS, Sabathia, Carmona & Westbrook, all looked like Mike Pelfrey, pitching for the Mets, in the 3 Games I saw that guy, this year. In other words, these guys fell apart @ the Seams;

& these Games were BLOWOUTS. The Last Win for the Sawx came last night with an 11-2 Triumph with The Sawx starting the World Series, this Wednesday Night, @ 8:24PM-ET on FOX & ESPN Radio & MLB INTL;

Youk Homered to make it 11-2;

BTW, @ Professor Thom's last night, I was told that in my appearances to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", with cheering, rousing chorus, that The Sawx Have Won 3 In A Row, to take this Series Away from The Indians;

Let the Streak Continue, Wednesday Night & Thursday Night;

Last Night, a married couple came to Professor Thom's for the 1st Time ever. The Night before, they were in The Bar, which we denizens of Professor Thom's, speak of so-loathingly. That Place, "The Riviera Cafe' & Sports Bar", was described as THE WORST Place to watch a Red Sox Game in NYC. The Expletives used to describe that DUMP, are many & fourfold, & often carried on this blog;

You KNOW how Jim Mc Guire, Chris Wertz, The Omnipotent Quinn, & I, feel about "The Riv'". Let's just say that the "F" word is used to describe the place & we don't mean Fiddlesticks, either;

So, until Wednesday Night, when That "Dulcet-Toned Master Of Sarcasm" & "Gomer Pyle-Toned Master Of Both The Obvious & Obtuse", invade our TV Screens, I wish you all a Grand Week Ahead;

That Sweet Lass was on the BMT Nassau Loop Train, knitting & in Contemplation & Prayer. She does make my week;
