The Bartenders' Lament on Good Friday

On behalf of all the bartenders, whoever opened a bottle of beer, lit a customer's cigarette, or prepared a Tom Collins (what else in this town!), I would like to offer the following pithy (if not, pathetic) statement:

You can call me Mooney, and you can call me Rooney, but don't you call me Looney!

Bob the Bartender, a proud graduate of the American Bartender School.

PS Did you catch the groovy "Prince Valiant " hair style on Mr, Mooney today?  He looked like a "beefed up" cross between Buster Brown and the little Dutch Boy!!!

Quoting Bob_the_Bartender: "On behalf of all the bartenders, whoever opened a bottle of beer, lit a customer's cigarette, or prepared a Tom Collins (what else in this town!), I would like to offer the following pithy (if not, pathetic) statement."

Bob,
Believe it or not , I know a fellow called Tom Collins. He is often the pun of jokes. Just say"Tom Collins" and he responds "Would you like one?"

quote from Bob_the_Bartender:

>>You can call me Mooney, and you can call me Rooney, but don't you call me Looney!<<

And now we've got another DS consistency problem, Bob.  Just how is Mooney the Bartender related to Mr. Mooney, the cheapskate banker who, almost two-hundred years in the future, will manage Lucy Carmichael's accounts?  They never really do explain it.

One of the bonus features of the new DVD's will include complete family histories, and will include the info that traces the offspring after Mooney married Ethel May Drysdale [who's brother's line of the family went on to spawn another banker that ended up living in Beverly Hills, but I'm getting off the subject].  Black sheep of the family, brother Sebastian Cabot Mooney became a 'Gentleman's Gentleman', and ended up having to change his name due to family pressure.

LOl Bob we had a doctor that looked like Mr Mooney
who allso had a Prince Valiant hairdo!

VAM,

How could Tom's parents name him "Tom Collins"?  That's almost as bad as a "Boy Named Sue," from the Johnny Cash song.  Actually, my mother knows a man (a teacher) who is named Frank Sinatra!  I kid you not.

I imagine that if you have the same name as ol' blue eyes, people always want to buy you a drink, get your autograph, and introduce their sister to you (then again, maybe they don't want to introduce you to their sister!).

Gerard,

I see a definite resemblance between innkeeper Mooney and Mr. Mooney, the parsimonious banker, a/k/a/ "Mooney the Shylock."   However, innkeeper Mooney does not display the cultured patois of Mooney the banker.

It wasn't till I heard innkeeper Mooney on Dark Shadows, that I learned that the traditional New York guttural accent made it up all the way to colonial New England.

Ringo,

You know, it's too bad that Sebastian Cabot never appeared on Dark Shadows.  You probably know that Sherlock Holmes' brother, Mycroft, occasionally appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.  Well, I would have liked to have seen Mr. Cabot appear as Richard Stokes, Professor Stokes' neer-do-well, younger brother.  It would have been great fun to see the learned Stokes "contend" with a slightly older version of Buzz Hackett.  Oh well...

Jennifer,

I hope your doctor who looked like Mr. Mooney, practiced medicine as well as Mr. Mooney prepared martinis, toddies and sea breezes (Bathia Mapes' favorite drink).

Is it just Urban Legend that the man who invented the Lear jet [and named it for himself] named his daughter: Crystal Shanda; and his son: Gaye Cava -~?

and SC would have looked right at home on DS, fersure!
