For those that don't know my routine, if I'm missing at some point, I'll tell you where to find me. More than likely it will be at Stahley's right down the road. Heck, I live next door to their grandmother. To the Stahley Family, at this point, I'm probably considered a part of their family. I visit there quite often, I often joke that I should have Stock Options in the place. Seriously though, where are my Stock Options:-)?
It is my personal hang-out, not my family's. They live in Raleigh, NC and even if they lived here, they wouldn't like it as much as me. Stahley's is located on 1826 Hanover Avenue here in Allentown, Pa. It came to be my hang-out because I'm a wallflower & bar-fly loner
...and I don't do the Drinking And Driving Thing. Two blocks away, I can do Cartwheels there and a back hand-spring to reach my front step to my door after a brisk little walk. I like that.
Now, as far as what I do there...ahhhhh, well this I'm going to catch some flack for. And not just because I ended a sentence with the word 'for'. I drink there. And up until this evening, I played the Adam's Family Pinball Machine there. Ironically, when I arrived there this fine eve, I found that they had took the Adam's Family Pinball Machine away:-( I guess the plethora of quarters I had lost in that vault had convinced them to buy a new machine.
Back to Stahley's though, great food at an economically sound price. Sure, the drinks are cheap as is the food, yet I dare somebody to find better bar food in the Lehigh Valley. I only know of one place that could compete...What impressed me most before I became the staunch 'Regular' around those parts is that Mr. Stahley had started that joint from the basement. Now, he makes a nice dime. So does most of the family because of it. Now, about those Stock Options???
OK, now I know where we are hooking up.
But I may need a room for the night if we get into some serious....conversation.
I'm going to take you up on that offer. Withdrawal it any time you'd like. I open my house to people all the time (once I 'know them a bit of course).... in April, I had a guy stay over from Indianapolis ....was at my house for my annual NFL draft party.
Hate to see someone not "have a good time' because of the concern of being on the road......
Agreed! Rob, Sarah, and me humble self.....have a date at Stahley's! And yes Rob, you are driving. Do you want me to get you directions?
Oh, oh... she wants buff.....
[ as I do one push-up ]
OK, now I'm ready.....I drive to WV, pick up Sarah.... drive back to PA by way of Hawaii (there is a bridge, right?)..... call wifey tell her I'm at a loooooooooooooooooooooooong closing......head back across the country......stop in Kansas (why Kansas?.....why not)......call Jason .....no answer, he's practicing cartwheels.........finally hit Allentown, PA.......head straight to Stahley's........open the door and there are 7 guys on the floor all beat up....... two are still at it......one keeps yellin' "But I OWN the place"........the other says....."I said I WANT THE ADDAMS FAMILY Pinball machine back!"........Sarah and I yell, "YO JASON"..... he turns and immediately gets clocked by the owner and drops like a rock......Sarah and I fight as to who gets to nurse Jason back to health as I whip out a Title Order form trying to get him while groggy......Sarah wins out as I search for a pen.....Jason bounces back up, saying to the owner "Ok, you won this week, see you next Thursday"..........we all sit down with the lovely Sarah between two thorns.
OK, I'm not going to even bother with mascara anymore, you guys make me laugh until I cry it off!!!
Hey, I'm a Mummer. You need make-up, I have make-up.

(Jason, if you want this link out of your thread, just delete this comment....no problemo)
You DO have make-up!! I had no idea! LOL!
I don't think I'm capable of being that wild! That must be what the make-up is for, so you can pretend it was someone else the next day, right?
Sardi in a dress??? We're gonna need some more video.
There's nothing like a good hijacking to let you know you have friends. ;o)
I LIKE your post! Makes me want Rob to hurry up and come get me so we can get over there, but if you gave him the directions I should just tell him to say Hi to Ann for me.
(I'll tell you what I told Jason Price about my post for this some other time! Yours is much better!)
I keep getting papa-ya here.
You want simple?
Meet Ann, what a simpleton.
[ As Rob hopes Ann dosen't read this... I guess when I pop over this week I'll know by whether she kicks me in addition to the normal slap across my face ]
