"Ben" There Done That

This Weekend, was a blast.  Sure hope you had all the Labor Day Fun.  Before the White Pants were put away Monday (kidding I don't have white pants.)   Here's "Ben" There Done That!

Friday was a pool party... my son and his friends celebrated the un-official end of summer and back-to-school.  Great seeing Parents and Friends.

Saturday... I went to OktoberFest in Berea.  Good food, Good beer and maybe my favorite the weiner dog races or more the costume contest.

 

Weiner PlaneWeiner Costume

Then on Sunday, I saw a lot of you at Sunday Funday at The Dusty Armadillo...

Monday was Labor Day and I hope all of you had the day off.  I know that is not the case.  A huge Thank You to those that worked and kept things moving and grinding on the holiday.  We thank you and appreciate you.

Morgan's Bar Name?

Earlier this week, I asked you what the name of Morgan Wallen's Bar that is coming to Nashville...  We know it is a 6 story building with a rooftop bar and the whole kaboodle..   Still haven't heard a name yet?  The building was approved over a year ago.  

I thought the best name would be Whiskey Glasses.

Then the suggestions started rolling in....  Pam said 'Country @-- ____'.  Others offered up This Bar, Dangerous Bar, Heather said "Whiskey Friends" cause that is her favorite song...

You Deserve a Drink.  Lisa said "it's Nashville you have to call it, Broadway Girls!"  Kristen dropped 'Last Night'.  All great choices.  And I am sure Morgan already has the name picked out.  

Then all of a sudden it arrived...  "Morgan's Hole In The Wall-en".    That is Game Over...  If you have an idea let me know This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. would love to hear it.

Wrasslin Wednesday

WWE Payback from Pittsburgh, PA is Saturday Night.   So time for a little Wrasslin' Wednesday.

Remember there is not science or anything behind this if you are betting on these matches... I am just a fan like you and this is what I think could happen.

Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura 

Shinsuke has been due for a push.  I don't think Seth Rollins will lose the belt on this night but crazier things have happened.  I would say Rollins retains but Shinsuke makes his strong-style known and will force a rematch at some point or on Raw.

Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez

Rhea is on fire.  I am a big fan of this match-up and Rhea will win with help from Dom-Dom but buckle up for a great ride with these 2 battling many matches to come.

Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn vs The Judgement Day (Finn Balor & Damian Priest)

This one is a steel city fight and I feel it should go the way of Kevin & Sami.  The Judgement Day would have everyone belted up with this victory.  I hope Kevin & Sami's reign doesn't come to an end but The Judgement Day doesn't seem to go away.

Rey Mysterio vs Austin Theory

Rey will drop the title to Theory in this one.  It maybe someone from the LWO that causes a hiccup whether it is on purpose or by accident...

Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a Steel Cage Match

Becky will have her hands full with Zoey Stark somehow making her presence felt.. I don't think Trish wins but something will cause a rift in the Stark/Stratus relationship that could create an interesting match-up down the line.  

The Miz vs L.A. Knight

I think The Miz should probably win... But L.A. Knight is just too hot right now, I think he takes it.  The Miz will put up a great fight as always.  

Grayson Waller Effect with Special Guest Cody Rhodes.  
This is just a waste of time.  Grayson Waller is not PPV material.  I'd rather see Miz TV or Im-Paul-sive.  Old Piper's Pit Videos.  Or a tribute to Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt.

Weather

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a wild ride this summer... wet, rainy, hot, cool.  I have heard it is sweltering in Arizona, Texas and the South.  Parker McCollum made light of that the other day.

 This is the truth.  Here in Ohio there hasn't been much of a summer.  I was expecting since school was back in session the scorching days would settle in.  Wednesday is supposed to be a high, A HIGH of 61...  Last week, most of the area was slammed with heavy winds, tons of rain, 3 earthquakes and 13 Tornados that touched down.  Some folks are still without power.  

The Floridians and those that are near The Gulf of Mexico are preparing to get hit by Idalia. 

I was in Corpus Christi, Texas for Katrina, Rita and Ike among others.  Luckily never a direct hit or even more than a low level CAT 3 Hurricane.  Thank goodness!!!  Preparing is not fun, boarding up your home, sandbags and just hope that it misses.

One year, as we prepared for Hurricane Ike our friends called and said come to the bar.  We walked in and the coverage was on every TV in the joint.  And then "this idiot" popped onto the screen...  I am so glad I got to see it live.  

 ***bear suit is not recommended attire for hurricanes***

I feel for those that are readying for Idalia.  Hope everyone is safe. If people are told to leave, the best thing to do is to leave, IF you have a place to go.  Remember after a certain point the rescue workers can not make it out safely.  Thoughts and prayers for those in the prediction cone and areas of landfall and storm surge.  At this point Florida prepare for the worst and hope for the best.   Hurricane Season lasts thru November 30th.

Halloween

My son is a chip off the old block.  If you remember W-Boo-MX, I am a fan of Halloween. 

I have been investing in Duct Tape lately as he is diligently working on his Halloween Costume in August.  

Personally, I love it.  I want to help but he is diving in head and mask first.  The reason why I am happy... 

Last year on Halloween Eve... he decided against a costume we bought, so he could wear black jogging pants and a black hoodie...  

The first house is like, oh what are you hunny?  He replied "I'm a robber".   It really looked like there was no effort put into his costume.

So I'm hoping with all this effort sooo far out that he is going to stick with the idea and not change his mind at the last minute.

Now if I could just get him to do the rest of his summer reading that is due Monday...  Sheesh...   

This is a picture of him years ago, slaying me in my Dragon Mascot Costume.
