The El Nino (tredux)
10.2.2k8
There's a kitchen in the place I work and on the wall of the kitchen there's a TV that's ALWAYS on and someone's ALWAYS watching it. I don't get it. I only rediscovered TV after getting TiVo and wresting control over what I watched and when I watched it. That made the mind-numbing a bit better because it was mind-numbing on MY SCHEDULE.
I mention the TV in the kitchen because I walked by it and someone was watching a program. In the time it took me to walk by I heard an intriguing snippet: " ... many people visit our Flavor Graveyard to pay homage to discontinued flavors they once enjoyed."
I got to my desk and googled "flavor graveyard" and got this.
An interesting list of dead ice cream flavors. I applaud the B&J for attempting some of them. The idea of a virtual graveyard gave me an idea to list the dead places the TNSC used to go.
Off the top of my head:
(The) El Bobo
The Overflo
20 Tanks
Pow!
There's more but I gotta stop there. It's too hard. We had many good times at those joints. And now word comes down that C. Bobby Cook, owner/operator of the venerable Owl Tree (venue of all holiday/"secret" meetings) has passed. He was a classic. This robot can only hope that his estab. survives him.
Tonight - One of San Francisco's oldest continually operating corner bars, The Elixir.
Elixir's "Cocktail Club" is hosting Wild Turkey/Russell's Reserve Master Distiller from 6-8, and Cooley Distillery's Global Ambassador from 8-10.
Here's tonight's: Find the Reference!
bye-ee!
