A little over a year ago, friend/bartender Marlon passed away.
I wrote about that here: - http://thestabbingpen.com/2009/03/14/314-312/
Anyway, that night a buddy of mine, Adam, got up to speak about Marlon.  Adam also had worked with Marlon over the years.   At some point, there was some shuffling in terms of employment, leading to tension between Marlon and [...]

Okay, according to my grandma, if you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, they will be referred to as your “friend.”
If you have a roommate, she will refer to this person as your “partner.”
Jeff Garlin had a bit on Dr. Katz, which actually makes my grandma seem reasonable.
Mrs. Garlin refers to any of her son’s [...]

In the coming months and even years, I’ll likely be telling more and more Grandpa Sammy stories.
It must’ve been sometime in the late 1980’s or early 90’s — My grandpa parked the car across the street from a 7-11.  With my sister and I (us kids) waiting in the car, Sammy asked us if we [...]

Growing up I did have some white sneakers, but more often than not my sneakers had logos/designs on them.  What I’m saying is that I’ve never really owned pure white sneakers.
My mom always told me, “White sneakers never stay clean.”   Other times she was more straight forward, “You are a slob and you’ll never take [...]

Physical fitness is something I deeply value, so it often comes up as a subject in conversation.
Bozzzy and I often refer to having a “V-shaped groin, ” which is an ideal shape for that region of a man.   (For the record, I suppose I often have even weirder conversations, so you might has well disregard [...]

Last night I asked my sister and Steve what they thought of the smell of Brut.  My sister basically said I smell like a grandpa.
Steve said Brut is perfect for attracting girls with “daddy issues.”
I replied, “No. Grandaddy issues!”

Before the Jets/Colts AFC Championship game a couple of weekends ago, friend of mine Dave Wheeler said he was seriously considering putting money on the Jets.
Well, in the end it was wise of him not to, since the Jets not only lost, but failed to cover the point spread as well.
“I woulda lost,” Dave proclaimed.
With [...]

Good friend Lance told me the following story the other night:
He was pulling into a parking lot somewhere here in Los Angeles, when a group of Mexican men started waving at him.  Being polite, he waved back.  Then all of a sudden all these guys started sprinting toward his Toyota pick-up truck.  Once they got [...]

Sad to say that earlier today the Jets season came to an end vs. the Indianapolis Colts.  It was an unbelievable run though for the Jets, and I’m quite proud of my team.
Anyway, I watch the games at Q’s Billiards over in West L.A. —- which is my Jets bar.   For about 3 hours, I [...]
