Big Al’s Blog: I was a DOLPHIN, NOT a shark!

It’s never quite as much fun when you have to explain what your costume is to everyone or if people guess what it is but they keep getting it wrong. I was a dolphin people, not a shark! Geez. My girlfriend was dressed as a Miami Dolphin football player so I was the mascot. I was her sweet adorable dolphin. Duh! There were lots of cool costumes but oddly enough, I didn’t see one Miley Cyrus. How could that be? I just knew there would be Mileys, and wrecking balls, and sledge hammers all over the place. There were plenty of duck Dynasty guys. In fact, that’s who won the costume contest that we had at my bar. By the way, I was a DOLPHIN, NOT a shark! They say that Halloween ranks second as far as the amount of money spent for a holiday, just behind Christmas. That’s very odd, considering there are no gifts to buy for anyone. But it goes for costumes, haunted houses, decorations etc. And why? What are we really celebrating? The chance to scare someone? The day where we can dress up? What is the real reason? I could google it but I don’t have time. Haha…Maybe, we’ll talk about it on the show.

steveShout out to the listener that spent his vacation at my bar all week. He was a cool guy named Steve that flew into town from Delaware and he came down to watch the show every day and stopped by the bar at night. He even dressed up as Aladdin for the costume contest. It’s very flattering to have a listener spend their vacation to come watch the show. So, I wanted to tell him thanks.

Over the weekend, I added to my collection of slightly used stuff. I really wish I could explain this new thing that I have been doing. I have never been a hoarder. This time, it was some type of lamp. I think the guy called it a sconce? I’ve never even heard of a sconce but now, I own one. Oh, also, he gave me a door. What the hell am I going to do with a door? But my thinking was that if I didn’t take the free door from the guy, I might need a door in the next month or so and I’d have to go buy one.
