I see nothing about Happy Hour-thank God.

I'll be signing contracts, applying for licenses, interviewing help before the holiday weekend(U.S. Independence Day). With any luck, we'll have the grand opening for The Nut House on Bastille Day weekend(July 14-18).

One of the goals of The Nut House is to establish as many international drinking holidays as possible. We Americans(isn't nice we citizens of the USA are so inclusive of an entire hemisphere) have embraced Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick's Day, and that leads me to believe the 1st step to a true global village is to establish drinking holidays representing all the cultures of the world(play "We Are The World" or "It's A Small World" here).

Gotta go pick out some neon, Oh-Happy Canada Day!

Hej, Chinq! (Swedish for "Hi!")

WHEW! I sure hope you didn't have to type out all that stuff by yourself! My fingers would be so tired! Oh, and thanks so much for the invite!

Anyway, I wholly embrace and APPLAUD you in your true global village concept - One Hundred Percent! I, too believe that we are all Brothers and Sisters on this planet. And in the spirit of such global village concept, may I introduce you to another great drinking holiday - the Swedish holiday of Midsommar (Midsummer), where some Swedes do nothing but eat (some very weird foods, by the way ? ever heard of lutfisk? how about inglad sill? Eeeeewwwww!) and drink (Aquavit and, of course, the Swedish National Staple, ABSOLUT?! [Great stuff, but I can already tell I?m gonna get in big trouble for that comment from certain quarters]). Unfortunately, since Midsommar has already occurred this year, (June 26, 2004), anyone who is new to this holiday and wishes to partake of it may do so on any weekend of this summer AS THEY PLEASE. If anyone asks, I?M THE ONE who gave you permission.

I have a feeling this is going to be one heck of a really cool blog! ABSOLUT?ly!! Thanks for starting it!

Inga,

You know how we've been talking about Clooney as Rance(not a guess, just a suppose)? Well, last night Billy Bob Thorton showed up in my dream. Funny thing was, he was talkin' to me & his mom about hamburgers. Now I know his mom has passed away, but she was flesh & blood in my dream. BBT says his mom was "sighted", so I wonder if I intercepted a message last night. And no... all I took before going to bed was an Aleve.
I'm serious!!

I'm gonna have to get some "numbers" dream books and play the lottery.

Oh...Nice to see ya!(I've got to work on my manners.)

Hi again, Chinq:

I was already getting hints that you were psychic. I believe in all of that stuff - I don't consider myself psychic (I wish I was), but I've had a few little encounters with weird stuff after my father died, and I swore he was trying to tell me something (he was), plus my great-grandmother in Northern Sweden was the neighborhood faith-healer and midwife. Grandmother told me Greatgrandmother had some gifts, but unfortunately, I don't think I inherited any of it. By the way, thanks so much for the SECOND invitation to your little party here (I am JXW). I didn't want to leave name and e-mail on that site (it's so public!) for fear of getting slammed too much (not to mention X or his girlfriend/new wife seeing it), and thanks for coming to my defense re: Sir Knight. Just another reason why I think you're psychic. AmazING. That's how you'll know it's me when I'm hiding. I'm such a chicken.

I saw you're planning on moving to a new area (actual physical area) on one of the sites. I wish you Good Luck. I've been thinking about moving, too, and then go home and look at all the junk I have to get rid of and/or move and have second thoughts about the whole thing. I've hoarded way too much junk in my life.

I like Billy Bob Thornton a lot - I saw him a couple of times in various movies (like Armageddon), and wasn't falling all over myself about him. But then I saw him in Monster's Ball with Halle Berry and just totally fell in love with that movie and that story. I just LOVE that movie (plus I think Halle Berry is SO GREAT!). I actually got a Halle Berry haircut once, but it didn't do a damn thing to make me anywhere near as gorgeous as she is (on me, nobody even knew it was a Halle Berry haircut. When I told people, the NICE ones just looked at me like I was seriously weird). Anyway, I digress - I was so rooting for her character to be able to find some happiness in her life in Monster's Ball. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Billy Bob Thornton being Rance. I think it would be great if it turned out that he was!

Anyway, good luck with the numbers dream books and the lottery! Wouldn't that be cool?! And I wish you tons of luck with this site!

Hey Inga,

You should check out BBT's "The Gift". It's based on his mother, he wrote it & Sam Raimi directed. Funny thing, I'd forgotten the name & looked up BBT on imdb and guess what, Mr. Thorton is working on a film called... "The Swedish Job". Seems the production is in off again/on again status, I guess they are having funding problems.

Just an FYI,

Chinquapin

Whoa! Cosmic dust! The Swedish Job - I wonder what that could be about; I'm going to have to check it out. I just hope it's not the Swedish Bikini Team pulling off some job a.k.a. Ocean's 11.

Thanks for the tip, for I shall definitely check out "The Gift."
I.
