The Latest from Scott Turner of Rocky Sullivan’s of Red Hook

Am I the luckiest girl in the world that Scott Turner lets me publish these fabu emails he sends out to publicize  the pub quiz at Rocky Sullivan's (see below). Happy Valentine's Day, Scott. And thanks.

Greetings, Pub Quiz Is For Lovers Sloganeers!

Love is, indeed in the air…

Well, maybe not — it's still chilly and wintry and the stimulus package, Chris Brown vs. Rihanna, A-Roid's problems.  Chris and Rihanna are both up for NAACP Image Awards, and this Friday the University of Miami is still planning to to re-dedicate their baseball venue — wait for it — Alex Rodgriguez Stadium.

Ruh-roh…dead people are safer when it comes to honorifics.

Back to the matter at hand.  It might be that for people who like astronomy questions with the answer "Uranus" (me), the "stimulus" package does mean there's love in the air.

This Thursday, February 12th, is one of the big nights on the Pub Quiz social calendar: Rocky Sullivan's Annual Love & Sex Pub Quiz
It's a good first date, middle date, even last date — the right blend
of innocence and tawdry machinations run through with prizes, treats,
gaiety and old-fashioned good clean fun — depending, of course, on
your definition of "old-fashioned," "good," "clean" and most
particularly, "fun."

In celebration of the Valentine event before us, let us commemorate the Valentines who, unaided by anabolic steroids or dalliances with Madonna, rose to prominence as major-league baseball players: Bob, Bobby, Corky, Ellis, Fred, Joe and John.  There have also been three Valentins: Javier, John and Jose — all of whom began their career in the '90s and ended in the '00s.

not, exactly, the type of Valentine photo spread you were expecting.  We specifically fail to roll like that.

There's an incredible amount of preparation work involved with staging the Rocky Sullivan's Annual Love & Sex Pub Quiz
"Love" and "sex" cover a lot of ground.  They're everywhere in our
modern society.  Just like cold, hate is simply an absence of love. 
And sex..sex is just an absence of not having sex.

Here's part of the preparations:  which of these do you like the best?
