So how to order all this in our minds? May 12 is primarily Fitzmas, but because of "Scoop" Pitt's key role in breaking the news, May 12 is, secondarily, "Pied Piper Pitt Day" and thus the occasion for the "Bad Pitt" Writing Contest.
Kind of on the order of April 19 being primarily the anniversary of Lexington and Concord and secondarily, then, celebrated as "Patriot Day" and the occasion of the Boston Marathon.
It was a dark and stormy night when a semi celebrity wandered into my favorite waterhole. The posse in attendance was small,and I knew if there was half a chance,I could plant my beer stained lips on their backside.
I thrust quivering hands into my pockets to merely confirm my fears, ya ... I was broke again.
I cast sheep's eyes about the smoky bar, but there wasn't a soul I knew who would front me enough money so I could stand the bar a round, my taps were tapped out.
I shot a glance to to Maryanne's tip jar perched on top of her piano, but in looking at her eyes told me clearly; "Don't even f.... think about it, you jerk".
What's with Dames, hey you puke in her car one time, .... but I digress.
But no celebrity fannie will leave here without the lips of Boston's Philosopher in Residence having glazed it. I shoot pleading eyes to Tony behind the bar, what's this? I'm getting the bird already.
This finely crafted brain of mine has a flash!
Ya, that's the ticket, I'll invite said celeb back to pad... ya, nobody will notice when I mix that half bottle of Morgen David and roomie's jug of Ripple. Gee I hope that Jehovah Witness chick has cleaned the place up like she promised...
