We have a decent sized crush on Flo.

We stare at her daily as we wait in traffic near Gatto's Cylce Shop.



Wave at her next time you pass by.

Falling Back

This weekend, we have huge plans.

We plan on setting our clocks back.

Like right now if we could.

It's totally our favorite time of year.

Something about getting that extra hour of sleep brings a rather
large smile to our collective faces.

We hit the snooze button like a fat kid eats ice cream...

With speed and tremendous accuracy.


That extra hour really gets us in the holiday spirit.

We may even celebrate Saturday night with a 30 pack of Busch Light
and a Clucker pizza from Stella's.



Enjoy the weekend, and enjoy those extra 60 minutes.

Drop It On The One

A little over a year ago, we told you about some d-bag that
burned down the restrooms at Memorial Park.

Here is the LINK.

We then told you about the city's plan for new dumpers.

Here is that LINK.


It turns out that the bids were a good bit higher than the
insurance company was giving the city.

And the city isn't willing to kick the extra cheddar.

So they started looking at other options.

Turns out, there are some pretty decent pre-fab concrete water
closets out there.

And they come in well under the insurance payout.

So the city is gonna use the extra greenbacks to erect a new
pavilion (which also got burned down by the b-holes).

Being that the park is closed for the winter, hopes are that the
new structures will be raised by spring.



We can't wait to give the new loo a go.


C'mon, Spring!

No-Vember

Holy doodie!

It's November already.

This is just crazy.

In a few short weeks, we will be sitting down with family and
friends for Thanksgiving dinner.
(Our favorite meal ever.)


And from that point on, the Christmas season will be full
steam ahead.

This may be one of the last days this year that doesn't feel like
a blur.

Although some folks we know are already finished Christmas shopping.

Seriously?

We like waiting until Black Friday to start our shopping.

We may even document our BF adventures?

Sweet display on Drey St.

(Terrible picture of it.)


Happy Halloween, Newkers!

Be On The Lookout

Here are some traits that zombies have.

This list may just save your life this weekend.

- Zombies crave human flesh.
- When the body dies, it only takes a couple hours to become
a zombie.
- A zombie has no instinct for self survival.
- Zombies have no association with other zombies, yet seem to
be found in groups and packs.
- Zombies generally aren't abnormally strong, but they've been
known to rip a human apart.
- Zombies have no memories of their former self.
- Zombies eat humans, but don't appear to need food to survive.
- Zombies can tell the difference between live and dead flesh.
(It is unknown whether it is the sight, or smell of it.)
- Zombies will not attack each other, even over food.
- Zombies move slow, but never get tired. Which is why they
catch people, cause they never, ever, quit.
- When zombies aren't eating, they wander in search of flesh.


Just some helpful tips from your friends at theNewk!

Be safe.

Get Your Halloweer On

This weekend is a great time to dust off that old costume, and
hit some local spots that are throwing parties.


From what we've heard,Friday night DJ Frankie will be at the
Do Drop Inn in the Heights. Prizes for costumes and stuff will be given.

Stella's will have delicious food and good times as always.
House of 1000 Beers is having a party with top-notch beers being tapped
through the night, such as Dogfish Head 120 and Pumking!

Comment or email us with any other parties in the area.

Thanks, and be safe out there.

Bees And Dogs Can Smell Fear

We've said it before...

Some stories are bigger than the Newk.

And this is one of them.

No, we aren't talking about the massive amount of garbage
heading towards the US from the tsunami that hit Japan.

This is much bigger news.

Jonathon Lipnicki turned 21.

Yep, that Jonathon Lipnicki.


When we read that yesterday, we were stunned.

It was quite the reality check.

And we thought...

Damn, we are handsome.

Wait.

We are always thinking that.

It also made us think about getting old.

And while we were thinking that, we saw a picture of Jon now...

(He's on the right)

Obviously, Jonathon still hangs out with industry powerhouses
like the guy that never sings from the Black Eyed Peas.

We want to say happy birthday to Jonathon.

And thank him for teaching us that the human head weighs 8 pounds.

You know you'll never forget that fact.

Monsters in the LBC yesterday.

Thank You, Thank You

Last weekend, we told you about a friend of ours doing a
guest bartending gig to raise funds for a couple different
charities.

We don't know if we had anything to do with it, but the turnout
was amazing.

People packed Stella's, and the drinks were flowing like
Little Pucketa Creek after a heavy rainfall.

DJ Frankie was dropping jams like Lone Starr.


A sincere thanks to everyone that made this event possible.

And all the drinker friends we have.

We couldn't have done it without you, and your issues.






Damn, we love that movie.
