  1. I was only able to get to NYC twice a year, but you can bet I headed straight for the Gaiety! And I was lucky enough to attend a matinee with @Cooper and @foxy two or three times and then head to a restaurant afterwards. Such fond memories with those two great guys, plus the dancers! LOL
  2. Well....I guess it defines my attitude on life. I’m an optimist! And I just couldn’t resist that first word in my name! Plus I love the song “Cock Eyed Optimist” from South Pacific.
  3. Yes, pre-COVID I had met several posters on this site and we remain friends still. And in addition, there were annual gatherings of posters usually once a year in Chicago. Food memories.
  4. I have drastically cut my list to the bare bones in the last few years. I always include a hand written message. I tend to frown on those I receive with a stamped signature and nothing else.
  5. I wonder if the Show World there is related to the famous Show World on 8th Ave. near Port Authority back in the day. Fond and dirty memories of that place! When I made my yearly trek to NY, I couldn't get there fast enough!
  6. Wow! Would nude adult photos be reason for concern?
  7. OMG! "Stan and Biggies" restaurant. I ate there several times as a kid growing up in St. Louis. One time when we were there, Stan stopped by our table to say hello. Fond memories. Since I moved to Chicago to start my career, I became a Cubs fan, but always found a soft place in my heart for the Cardinals.
  8. You are correct that the "menu" is not for food. LOL. It is for the amount of time you spend in the Lap Dance area.
  9. Thanks for posting this news, I was wondering why I hadn't read any recent posts from him. He and I exchanged many PM's over the years on the bars in Ft. Lauderdale.
  10. And to describe a muscle Dude: "He is built like a brick shit house!"
  11. I still use the shit/Shinola expression. Hmmm....do they still make Shinola?
  12. I heard on the Today Show that he hasn't more than 5 hours of sleep in the last 4 days. He has been staying at the studio and I'm sure he isn't concerned about his outfit. LOL. Apparently he has become quite popular on Twitter as well.
  13. Interesting concept. I had not realized this before, but like "Thickornotatall", my eyes skip ahead if there is a paragraph laid out before me with solid text. I guess old dogs can learn new tricks.
  14. Some continue to look the same, well after their 20's. One particular guy that I remember (whom I had seen for 10 years or so) didn't seem to age. I took him to dinner to celebrate his 40th birthday, and he was carded by the bartender in a bar we went to before dinner, and again in the restaurant. He looked just like he did when I first met him.
  15. That's too bad. When I spent last winter in Lauderdale, LeBoy didn't allow smoking inside, only out on the patio. Too bad the new owners reverted back to the old policy.
  16. Thanks for the update! I'm glad that Chris is still bartending, and I hope Andy is too. Sorry to hear that there were many unmasked patrons. That is pretty scary to me.
  17. According to Facebook, LeBoy has reopened with new owners, new decor, and many new rules trying to keep customers safe during the pandemic. Has anyone been there yet?
  18. Has Broward county relaxed it's restrictions on bars? Will other bars (LeBoy and Boardwalk) be opening soon or is it just because Johnson's is now serving food?
  19. I have always enjoyed NBC's Miguel Almaguer when he walks down the street in jeans in one of his news segments. He has quite a bulge! I searched the internet for a pic, but came up empty. Maybe someone else can find a good one.
  20. Keep us posted. I have heard about BJ Roosters but never have been there. Could you tell us a bit more about it?
  21. Thanks for the informative report! I still plan to spend my winter in Ft. Lauderdale, and hope some bars are open by then. I hope you give LeBoy another chance. From what I see on FB, the new owners are renovating the inside quite a bit. I just hope the get a chance to open before they go bankrupt.
