Hey, you know this post has made my day? I don't know why I find this so
funny... I think it's because the idea of propping this guy up like some
Disney dummy to greet folks at his bar seems outrageous to me, and the
tone of this post is not unlike that of the tone taken in a "Dear Abby"
letter.

Not a bad idea. I'd go to your bar to see it. Actually, if it's okay,
I'm going to rip you off and have something similar at the next bar my
group hits for info. What's the decker's name, who currently runs the
place, and what's the name of the bar?


Speaking of Disney, didn't Michael "Money" Eisner do something similar?
He's the kind of guy that would be using old Walt as a breathing magazine
rack in his guest bathroom...
