For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

A bar tab to end all bar tabs ... Thanks Anon Ymous!

A bar tab to end all bar tabs




 I wouldn’t want to have to pay that tab.

Boston Bruin's ( the whole team) bar tab:


This is the Boston Bruins bar tab receipt after throwing themselves a celebration party for finally bringing the Stanley Cup back to Boston. Note that the party lasted only for 4 hours. In the comments below, check out the cost of 1 bottle of Midas champagne (only 6 in existence) and the tip.















The party continued over the weekend for the Stanley Cup champion Bruins, who tore it up at Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut Saturday night.

When all was said and done, the Black and Gold racked up a four-hour bar tab that totalled $156,679.74, which included the now-famous $100,000.00 bottle of Ace of Spades "Midas" champagne, and a built-in tip of $24,869.80 for Danielle (the server whose name is on top of tab above), which we imagine she had to split up with a few other servers at Shrine. And our guess is the Bruins may not have noticed the built-in tip, and threw in a larger gratuity when the bill was paid.

The state of Connecticut took in nearly $7,500 in taxes on the night as well.

Shrine owners Ed Kane, Joe Kane, and Randy Greenstein hand-delivered the 30-liter "Midas" bottle, which is one of six in existence. The bottle was double the size of the 15-liter Ace of Spades brut that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban purchased for his team after its NBA championship a week ago.

Some other highlights on the Bruins tab from Shrine included 35 Jager Bombs totalling $525, 3 bottles of Captain Morgan at $300 each, 9 bottles of Goose MG at $600 a pop, 136 Bud Lights... and in case anyone was dehydrated, 67 bottles of Fiji water totalling $268.

The Globe's Names column filed this report: "Before anyone could sample the champagne, it had to be opened - and that proved difficult. Zdeno Chara tried, but the 6-foot-9 defenseman couldn't do it. Finally, after a few failed attempts, the cork was removed, and the champagne was poured into the Stanley Cup. Their thirst still not quenched, Chara, Shawn Thornton, and the rest of the Bruins then lifted the Cup to their mouths.

"Chara, wearing jeans and an Ed Hardy T-shirt, can actually dance, but no one kicked it like Brad Marchand and rookie Tyler Seguin, who spent much of the night on top of the bar, shirtless, and spritzing the crowd with champagne. They were occasionally joined by teammates, some of whom seemed to be using these postseason parties to perfect their Dougie, the dance made famous by Lil' Wil. Even the team's oldest player, 43-year-old Mark Recchi, jumped up on the bar and busted a move."

The "Midas" bottle, which was signed by every Bruins team member in attendance, will be on display at High Rollers at Foxwoods and will be raffled off at a later date to benefit the Bruins foundation.
