We aren't the World, but now we know where to find it.

For those folks who haven't been living in the Cave for the last couple weeks, Thursday night at Summers is now World Music Night, complete with a D.J. who will spin all your favorite World Music hits for your grooving pleasure.  And for those folks who still insist that "there's no such thing as World Music,"  well, people - I hate to break it to you, but it's legitimate.  In a stroke of pure Summertime serendipity, the real-life, honest-to-your-god-of-choice World Music Awards will air tonight on WDCA-TV.  I would expect Summers to carry the event on at least half of the televisions, considering Joe Daddy's thorough commitment to all things International.  Enjoy! Salut!  Ganbei!  Prost!  Slainte!  Boogie on down.
 

Red Lights, Big City

You are not the kind of guy who would be at a place like this at this time of the day and, though the details are fuzzy, you cannot say that the terrain at Summers is entirely unfamiliar.

Out on the Moldy Tiles

As I walk down to the bathroom all I do is sing this song
And a metro train that's moving my way helps move the rythmn along
There is no doubt about it, words are clear
Summers is strong, oh so strong

I'm just a simple guy, I live from special to special
A bottle of Molson Canadian melts my frown and blows my blues away
There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away hoping that Mya quits with you

All I need from Summers is all of its love
All you got to give me is some of your beer

Honore de Bleu Balzac

I saw Diego Forlan of Uruguay score one of the best goals of the 2010 World Cup tournament in South Africa in the third place game against Germany and before I knew it, all of a sudden my doorstop lifted itself into the upright position, just like it had a mind of its own.

Color Me Badd

Orange you glad that the Netherlands didn't win the 2010 World Cup?

Theisman's in a lot of trouble...

And it was Lawrence Taylor who slammed Theisman to the ground.

Broke his leg. One of the grossest things I've ever seen. One thing that ain't broke is Theisman's restaurant in Old Town, Alexandria. Sure, I'm biased because I am a Redskins fan and Theisman's is close to the office, but it has a few other things going for it as well.

First of all, it has good food and real drinks. I had some seared ahi tuna that beats the ascot off a Summers sampler platter. Second of all, it has actual specials every day of the week. If Theisman's actually served Molson Canadian, I'm pretty sure I could drink it more than just on Wednesdays. Third of all, it has free food, there's always free popcorn on the rails. What happened to the free chips & salsa that Mean Joe Green served for like three days?

And don't even get me started on the sidewalk traffic in Old Town. Its better than Arlington.

Mean Joe Green ain't Joe Theisman, but he sure could learn a thing or two.

I Saw The Sign

I saw the sign and it opened my eyes. I saw the sign, but nobody is going to drag me to the light side of Summers where I belong. Seriously, I love the new Red Room at Summers (well, actually I am kind of sweet on Summers New Door and truth be told I like it better), but why is there a sign for the Red Room all the way at the back by the back door exit? I mean if I am in the Red Room and I am allllll the way back here in the deepest darkest corner of it, I am pretty sure that I have already been enticed into entering into entering the Red Room and its not like I'm suddenly going to think OH MY GOD, I need to have a private here and this sign was the thing that convinced me. On the other hand, I'm kind of impressed that Mean Joe Green is advertising something. Which reminds me, I think I saw a sign for the Peroni beer special for one split section, but I can't be sure. On the other other hand, I've been to Summers a few time before, and I have never ever, and I do mean ever, seen a private party there. Maybe I haven't been invited to any of the private parties that have actually been hosted here, but I've also never been turned away either. I'm also not sure that I have ever seen entertainment there, but I have always been entertained.

Women Are Like Sidney Crosby

I don't understand either of them.

At least I know Sidney Crosby is a bitch and I can cross-check him if I have to.

Women not so much. They confuse me more than the centre-ice trap. Take this past weekend for example.

This chick I haven't seen in over a year calls me out of the blue, which totally freaked me out because I haven't seen you in over a year and the last time I did see you, you were yelling at me and you told me you never wanted to see me again. What the fuck changed? Do you feel sorry for me because I didn't win the Norris trophy this year? But I was like okay, let's hang out.

But it wasn't okay. I'd been beating myself up for a year because I thought I'd done something to drive you away. Is it my fault that when I tried to tell you I love you it came out like I love you when you vote for me for the Norris trophy? Forgive me. I know hockey, I don't know women.

But that wasn't the end of it. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch because I was so nervous. I even threw up in my hot tub because I was so stressed out. I haven't seen you in forever, and I've been in love with you for longer than that, and all you've probably seen of me is my shitty Geico commericals and me playing like ass in the NHL playoffs. I need to make a good first impression.

I didn't. I choked worse than I did in the playoffs.

I should have gone to Summers to have a drink to calm the nerves. At least they're aren't any chicks in Summers.

Big Redrum Taxi

I don't want to get off on another rant here, but why did Joe destroy the one good thing about Summers? Joe, why did you pave paradise?

They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum
With a pink ascot, a Yuengling, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone
They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum

They took all the good bartenders, put them in a good bartender museum
Overcharged all the people on their drinks just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone
They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum

Hey Terry, Terry, put away the Red-Headed Sluts now
Give me sparks on my apples, but tell me about the birds & the bees
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone
They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum

Late last night, I heard Summers New Door Slam
And the Big Yellow Taxi took away my cd of Wham
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone
They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til its gone
They painted the old back room, put up the new Redrum

Red Room, White and Blue

Red room, white and blue, what does Summers mean to you?
Independence Day, how do you feel about the U.S.A.
