That bit on Big Brother was pretty funny.

Put these two POS to work at the No Name. I used to talk to Nick the owner

[UKRaddell]

That last appearance will probably cost him his seat at the next election.
He won in a high-Muslim constituency basically on his opposition to the war and his constituents were NOT amused.

I still remember Jerry Williams' ads for the No Name:
"...where the mayor can't get you for parking, because it is free...and owner Nick Contos is there; nothing has changed,
and why should it? The most delicious seafood you ever
had. Marvelous! You'll enjoy!* Why? It's just great,
that's why. Take the whole family out; the check is not going to kill your budget. The No Name...'odis onoma' (sp?)"

*--no, that's no misprint, it's how he said the ad.
"You'll enjoy" (no "it" at the end)

Thanks. I have fond memories of Jerry in his heyday and the No Name. Many don't like the place but I love their milky seafood chowder better than the best clam chowder on planet earth. Their slaw and tartar sauce was the best and great with fried Ipswich calms or fish or scallops. I loved them all. (I live in FL now)

A friend mailed me Nick Contos' Globe obituary.

[raccoonradio]

Ah..I may have gone to that place many years ago when I was a kid (am almost 45 now...)

Don't forget that corrupt NJ gov. Can't remember his name.

[ssaftler]

Don't forget that GAY corrupt NJ gov.

I know who you mean, I forget his name too. But you generally have to be more specific when you mention corrupt and NJ politician. Sorta like discussing "that drunken Kennedy"!

[Calvin Locke]

...be more specific when you mention corrupt and NJ politician.

That thought came to me as I hit "post".

And a couple of minutes later, "Jim McGreevey" popped in as well.
