OH SNAP!Just when you thought that things would finally die down and things would get back to "normal" (whatever that is these days), TIGERGATE just gathered more steam. Now I know I previously wrote how everyone should just move on from this fiasco of a story and focus on more important things. But I'll be dammed if this thing hasn't turned into that full-blown car wreck that you just can't turn away from. Now it's turning into a clusterf*** of a situation for the PGA darling.
It seems that not ONE, but TWO more "mistresses" have come out of the closet to confess to having dalliances with Le Tigre. One in particular, a reality TV star, even claims to have a boatload of steamy text messages from him saved on her phone. Now how legit those text-messages are remains to be seen (let's face it, anyone could program "TIGER W" on their phone and say it was from him), however, whether it be true or not, this kind of publicity is the last thing he and his family needs right now. Stay tuned.
TREE LIGHTING tonight. To me, that signals the Christmas season's finally kicking off here in NYC. Of course, traffic will be a nightmare tonight with the actual lighting set to go off at around 9pm. Folks will begin to gather around Rockefeller Center, however, as early as 3pm to get a prime spot. Good luck with that.
I remember my first Tree Lighting back in '85; Went down there with my girlfriend at the time. I remember it was cold as hell (we're talking about 30 degrees) and we're crammed in with thousands of people for what seemed like forever. No access to bathrooms, hot chocolate, etc. If it wasn't for the fact that I was with this girl, I would have left hours earlier. But we stuck it out and after they finally lit the tree, I have to admit, it was cool. But I can also say that I haven't been back to a tree lighting since. Been there, done that.
PUB TRIVIA TONIGHT! For those of you who, like myself, are over the whole Tree Lighting thing, join us tonight for PUB TRIVIA! The game where you and your friends have an opportunity to win cool swag, drinks and the bragging rights of being top dawg in Pop Culture Land. It's free to play and the fun kicks off at around 8pm. Get there early as the prime spots tend to get snapped up quickly. $4 Mixed Well Drinks (for ladies) and $15 Miller High Life buckets are on tap for everyone!
TONIGHT'S THEME: It's a mystery theme. You gotta be in it to win it!
BEER OF THE MONTH: Bud Light Golden Wheat is on tap as December's Beer of the Month. Check it out at $4/pint!
That's It. That's All I Got.

24 SHOPPING DAYS 'TIL XMAS....
Today is December 1 and is it me or did 2009 go quickly? Damn, it feels like yesterday when we were celebrating BABY GIRL's New Year's Eve Pajama Party and now it's almost Christmas! Where did the time go? I'll have to go back to my calendar to highlight various events that took place over the year and get back to you on that (when you get to be my age, you have to refer to your notes for highlights). In the meantime, we can expect gridlock hell as everyone make their way into Manhattan for the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, the Menorah lighting, shop-till-you-drop excursions from Europe and all the like. Yay.
I guess the New Orleans Saints are the real deal, huh? You don't believe me? Just ask the New England Patriots. Going into last night's game, the Saints were averaging 36.9 points a game while the Patriots were averaging 29.0 points a game. Both teams boasted big-time quarterbacks (Brady and Brees) and plenty of offensive firepower. The Patriots were looked upon as the team to beat, due to their dynasty pedigree while the Saints, even with their undefeated record, still had something to prove. Well when it was all said and done, the Saints proved themselves without a doubt the team to beat, crushing the Pats, 38-17. Not even close. Question of the day: Will the New Orleans Saints stay undefeated? Stay tuned.
TIGERGATE. With all of the craziness of the economy, crime, Dubai, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. swirling around us, why do we find ourselves obsessed with Tiger Woods and his current situation? Did he? Didn't He? Did she? Why? WHO CARES! Let's move on already!
As I mentioned before, today is December 1. That means that the Movember fund raising efforts came to an end yesterday and I have to say that I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I met my personal fund-raising goal of $500.00; in fact, thanks to a last minute flurry of activity from the likes of JON CUSACK, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and SHORT MICHELLE, I almost DOUBLED my goal, raising a grand total of $895.00! And our team, the MO VAUGHN's, raised over $11, 000.00! So once again, on behalf of my teammates and the Movember Foundation, THANK YOU!!! Next up: A long overdue shave!
TONIGHT: Dollar Draft Madness kicks off at 4pm, with $1 mugs of Bud/Bud Light and Bud Golden Wheat ALL NIGHT LONG! Hope to see you then!

BACK TO "NORMAL"....
After the long holiday weekend where minimal relaxation took place, it's back to the old grind. Saturday night brought out a ton of visitors, both the dreaded bridge & tunnel variety as well as the expected out-of-towners, in for the weekend of holiday shopping. We also got hit with a unusually large contingent from Cornell University, in town for the hockey game vs Boston University at Madison Square Garden. Aside from the usual "amateur-night" antics that comes with the holidays, the night itself was relatively uneventful.
Yesterday's edition of BREW CREW SUNDAY went a lot better than I expected. The Sunday after a holiday tends to be a slow one with most of our regulars traveling and such. However, we ended up being pretty busy, thanks in part to our usual contingent of locals including THE CORNER BOYS POSSE, AFRIKA BAMBATTA, MR. LOW-KEY, T-BILL, SEAN JEAN, SD SUPER CHARGER and SEXY LEXY, just to name a few. With our usual ''games of chance" getting us through the afternoon, there were more than a few happy winners leaving the bar when all was said and done.
Then of course there were the DOLFANS, who turned out in full-force, bigger than expected for what should have been a slam-dunk win over the hapless Buffalo Bills. Someone, however, forgot to send the Bills that memo as they took it to the 'Fins, winning 31-14 and deflating their playoff hopes in the process. Not saying that Miami's eliminated from playoff contention, however, they didn't do themselves (or the DOLFANS) any favors either.
So with all of that going on and the ongoing saga of Tiger Woods dominating the bar talk, it was just like a regular Sunday afternoon of football fun.
Back to normal.
TONIGHT: Monday Night Football, NHL hockey and the ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE take center stage tonight with $1 mugs of BUD/BUD LIGHT/COORS LIGHT and BUD LIGHT GOLDEN WHEAT on tap ALL NIGHT LONG (as well as $2 all other domestic drafts)!
AND FINALLY: Today is the last day of November, which means it's the last day of MOVEMBER! To date, thanks to your kind generosity I've been able to raise $645.00 and my group, THE MO VAUGHN'S were able to raise a healthy $10, 691.00! Once again, we thank everyone for their support of Prostate/Testicular Cancer research and the awareness of Men's Health issues! If you haven't made a donation yet and would like to, simply click HERE and make your tax-deductible donation at the MOVEMBER Foundation web site. Special thanks to most recent contributors, T-BILL and BABY GIRL for their kind and generous donations!

BLACK BLACK FRIDAY...
Thanksgiving Day has come and gone and I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday. It's always nice to get together with family and friends over some great food and cheer. Now that the turkey has sufficiently digested, it's time for the country's newest "tradition": BLACK FRIDAY shopping.
I don't get the point of rushing out at 4am to stand in line with throngs of people to get that "must-have" item, when chances are that the same item will probably be available at the same price (if not cheaper) as you get closer to Christmas. By then, most of these stores will be desperate to unload their stock. I call it "common sense shopping". For those of you planning on braving the crowds and doing your shopping today, good luck. You're going to need that and a lot of patience too.
The bar reopens today to a full slate of sporting events including college football, basketball and NHL hockey. So while the ladies go out and get their shopping on, the fellas can casually sneak away for a quick pint (or two) and catch the games. $4 pints of Bass and $3 pints of Bud/Bud Light or Coors Light should do the trick (12-5pm)!
Enjoy the day!
That's It. That's All I Got.
