CHEF BILLY "THE KID" AT COMEDY CENTRAL IS ON VACATION:

Chef Billy "The Kid" is on vacation this week.
And guess who is filling in for him...

Retired Chef Bernie "Cy" Calloway, he's back at the big CC all week (after a three year retirement).

Chef Bernie has worked for many NYC landmark restaurants (Sardi's, Patsy's, Elaines, Corner Bistro).

And after spending the last few years in South Carolina trying to perfect the art of making BBQ sauce, he's back, for one week only.

Word on the street is that today for lunch we are having beef ribs and grits.

Glad to have you back Bernie.

FREE APPLE JUICE AT COMEDY CENTRAL:
Generic juice isn't that great... but it's free, so I'm... happy.

Thank you.

WADE CELEBRITY SIGHTING:


(A smiling,) NYC based comedian, Andres Du Bouchet
today on 48th -6th Avenue.

We chatted and then both went about... to our humble 'day jobs'.

AN ADAM WADE WORLD EXCLUSIVE:
Folks, I just want to let you know that I have a new favorite ICE CREAM FLAVOR.
Previously it was 'chocolate', though I love vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sundaes (no nuts).

And coffee ice cream (thanks to my dad) is also up there on the top of my list.

But now, I can honestly say, I am in love with this new favorite flavor:


'Cherry Garcia'

It's like a combination of many things I enjoy. A little chocolate, some cherries, ah... feel the joy.

WADE'S BROTHER MATT:
Not only is Matt Wade the best brother in the world, he is probably the most faithful fan the Boston Red Sox could ever have. (He is also gets mistaken for Kurt Russell)

RED SOX WIN SIXTH-STRAIGHT; YANKEES LOSE
BY: MATT WADE, (BOSTON-----) The Boston Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-1 on
Sunday afternoon. Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield pitched eight strong
innings, allowing three hits and one run. Wakefield inproves to (11-7)
on the year. He is 6-1 in his last seven starts.
���� To make the day even better, American League rivals, the New York
Yankees, did not come back today, and lost 6-4 to the dreadful Toronto
Blue Jays. The Red Sox, who trailed by 10 1/2 games less than two weeks
ago, find themselves only 4 1/2 games out of first place in the East
(the closest the Sox have been to them since June 23). The Red Sox play
six more games with the Yankees, and as we all know, anything can
happen.
���� Do you miss Nomar? Boston certainly does not. The Red Sox are 21-8
since the departure of the whining star shortstop. Sources tell the
Globe, he doesn't like Chicago too much either. Oh well.
���� The Sox begin a consecutive three-game home series against Wild
Card rivals, the Anaheim Angels and the Texas Rangers, respectfully.
Curt Schilling gets the nod for Boston on Tuesday night versus the
Angels.
���� "Tuesday is a big game for us. Hopefully, I can send us on the
right track for the rest of the series, Matt," said Schilling yesterday.
The Red Sox are now 1 1/2 games ahead of the Anaheim Angels in the Wild
Card, and with Texas' loss today, the Sox lead them by 3 whole
games.
��
Comments from readers last week thru e-mails:
"Wade, you are right on the money with your remarks. I like a good,
non-biased reporter, like you."
"You are such an #$%hole!" (referring to my comments that the Yankees
are slipping away last week)
"Get a life, Matt. The Sox are not going to win the Wild Card!"
"Kudos again Matt on your column. Thanks for the information."
"Awesome job, Matty, per usual! Thanks for the great article."
"Brief, to the point, and a wealth of knowlege last week."

INTEROFFICE EMAIL OF THE DAY-
SO LONG ROBERTA, YOU WILL BE MISSED:

(guess who is camera-shy?)

My time has come. Tuesday will be my last day as your beloved assistant office supervisor executive (just in case you want to bring gifts, I take a size 11.5 shoe -Doug, you remember when you called me "Big Foot?"). It was so wonderful meeting and working with all of you the past 18 years. Each of you has helped teach me a little something about myself, and for that I am genuinely thankful. So please keep in touch...don't forget about me. My email is
XXXXX@XXX.com
and the digits are (XXX) XXX-XXXX. Alfred and I will be moving to Orlando, Florida (Disney World every day, he-he-he), where he will be night time manager of one of the Friendly's Restaurants near the Magic Kingdom.


So if you're ever passing through, looking for a Fribble Milkshake never hesitate to call.

Thanks again for everything.

Ed was bartending and made fun of the fact I had nursed a beer for an estimated time of an hour and a half.

SUPER CELEBRITY SIGHTING:
A FAMOUS FOOTBALL QUARTERBACK was at WADE's FAVORITE BAR LAST NIGHT!

He must have taken some big hits this week at practice because he failed to see "Pom Pom" sitting on the bar.

GRAPEVINE AT WORK, WE'VE FOUND OUT WHY CHEF BILLY "THE KID" WAS SO RUDE TO WADE YESTERDAY:


(The Chef... back when he was happy)

The reason why?
Chef Billy asked out Eva, the workplace Commissary Dishwasher. They've been working together for over six years (right after her husband Herb met a man named Earl and moved to Paris, Texas). Eva doesn't like the CHEF in that way. Now things in the kitchen are pretty uncomfortable.


(Eva works hard circa 2002 - only photo we could get)

Chef Billy claims he wasn't proposing marriage to Eva, he just wanted to take her out for a beer, soda, coffee, or juice.

"He-ey, man. I just wanted to take a chance... I mean Eva is Eva and to me... she is a prett-ee class-ee lad-ee." -(not an actual quote, but I have confirmation that he said something like that to Petey, the busboy.)


(What will happen if the Top Food man, Rick,photo above, finds out about the "awkwardness" in the BIG KITCHEN?)

LAST NIGHT'S MEGA CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS:
VINCENT GALLO AND SEAN "AM I JOHN?" LENNON


(Vincent Gallo or my neighbor from NH, Tom Dykstra?)

They had a concert in the East Village and I went with my buddy Justin.
It was jam packed and I need my space. I am Adam Wade.

So I went from the second row to the very very back by the door before they finished their first song.

A lot of hip people were there.


I guess just me being there rounded out the hip and un hip.
I just try to be who I am.

Wade.

THE DOODIE BANDIT HAS RETURNED TO COMEDY CENTRAL:
Yes, thanks to my friend, John Marshall.

John brought to my attention that the ODDB (Ol' Dirty Doodie Bandit) has returned.

AND WE HAVE A PHOTO!

(since I have a high class of people visiting this site, I WILL NOT put the photo on the site. BUT I DO HAVE PROOF that the ODDB has returned, and I AM NOT happy.)

brief passage:

Within twenty minutes I had lost $20 on the... nickel machines. My grandmother taunted me, "Nickels? C'mon." I went over to the quarter machines and quickly blew another $40. That's when I stopped. My hard earned money (and the $10 my great aunt Arety secretly slipped me) was quickly evaporating. NO MORE GAMBLING for me.

Saturday's Games:

Boston 10, Chicago 7 (F)
Anaheim 6, New York 1 (F)
Texas 5, Kansas City 3 (F)

*On Monday, the Red Sox were 10 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East. Boston has won five in a row, and now trail New York by 6 1/2 games. If Boston can cut the lead to 4 games by August 31st, the AL East crown is not impossible. What a few days does, huh?

American League Wild Card Standings:

.561)- 1 game behind Boston and Texas

WADE'S WEIRD DREAM:

Last night I dreamt I was on a fancy elevator (had this dream a few times before). The elevator goes up and then stops and then goes sideways...
.
(Coincidence?)

Then it goes up and up and up (real fast) and then it goes through the roof (explosion) and I'm flying in the elevator and... before it can come down... I wake up.

OLYMPIC-ED OUT:
I am having an OLYMPIC overload right now.

THE NBC EMPLOYEE OF THE DECADE (2000-2010):

PABLO, the hot sandwich maker commissary man

(Pablo, here in action)

PABLO is the man behind the 'THE PABLO', a sandwich so so so so delicious, I question if I am eating a soggy sandwich or actually dreaming (a very good dream). Somewhat spicy, but somewhat sweet. Pablo keep those sandwiches coming. You are a great man.

It's been swell.

HELLO HOBOKEN!:

Photos of my trip to New Hampshire will be posted soon (feel the excitement).
I did have a great trip. I am now relaxed and ready to work hard.

I rode in a bus for over 8 hours today and I am hitting the bar tonight.

RED SOX WIN, WADE FEELS BLOATED:
I ate stuffed flounder tonight (it was excellent).

Then I took a 2 hour walk (2nd of the day) came home, watched the Red Sox and ate 2 WHOPPEE PIES (the greatest dessert food ever) and then microwave popcorn.


Now I don't feel so hot.


WADE WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW NIGHT AT...:
"...His favorite bar. And after an 8 hour bus trip he will be ready to nurse his beers like never before." - Time Out Hoboken

LOOK OUT! ED, THE BARTENDER
THE GAME IS ON!:

(Ed sans golf clubs)

I bought a 9 dollar travel golf bag at the local New Hampshire K MART and I'm bringing back my golfclubs.

(back story, Ed, the bartender is great at golf -well, that's what he says)

Now, I am ready for a good ol' showdown, now that I will have my clubs in Hoboken, and when I say clubs I mean my:

3 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron, 9 iron, pitching wedge, and putter ***

Looking forward to seeing you Ed.



*** I plan on buying a 3 Wood at a yard sale in the weeks to come. Then I will be ready to rock.

STILL BUMMED OUT:
The 2 other 'cool' audio clips somehow never made it onto the blog. I lost them some how. Dammit!

AND NOW BEACH BUMMED OUT:
I just took a long walk on the beach and observed a few things.

A lot of young girls with tattoos. Big ones covering their backs, arms etc. 'Dolphins', 'Tigers', 'Dragons', 'Tony', 'Billy', 'Lee', 'Shamrock', 'Sorority Letters'

A lot of middle aged, heavy set women with Pam Anderson's BARBED WIRE arm tattoos. UH-OH! What was cool circa 1995... well, is no longer cool.

A lot of elderly ladies with blue ink all over them, and I couldn't figure out what the tattoos are of.

A lot of women walking the beach in bikinis who have guts and belly button rings (but they are tanned).

(note: I'm not making fun of these women, I am simply reporting what I saw)

OKAY, WHAT WERE YOU WEARING MR 'BEACH FASHION', WHILE WALKING THE BEACH?:
Flip flops, a pair of gym shorts, a white V-neck tshirt (my Dad's), clip-on sunglasses and a tan Baseball hat the says "SHERRIF" on it.

BEST MEAL EVER:

Ma, that was some real good 'American Chop Suey."

RED SOX WIN, WILD CARD FEVER:
Yeah, Orlando Cabrera big fame winning double in the 9th!

WADE SAD AT AUDIOBLOGGER:
Why didn't the posts I did yesterday and today show up on the site.

ODDS AND ENDS-
CHEAP BIG LOSER:
I lost $20 on the nickle machines at Foxwood yesterday.
(photos coming soon)

Foxwood Casinos reminded me of Chuck E. Cheese minus the fun, the video games, the pizza and running around with my brother Matt and cousins Marc and Greg.

PEDRO TONIGHT:
Will Pedro win tonight? I sure hope so. I'm watching the game tonight with some REAL die hard Red Sox fans.

TASTE FOR NOSTALGIA:
Been watching old home movies all day.
when I was younger my voice wasn't as deep and... tough sounding.

WHAT IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY?


Getting a coffee.

SAD NEWS FOR WADE? NOT REALLY:
YOKENS, the restaurant my folks always took my brother and I to when we'd visit the beach growing up is CLOSING!



I got sick everytime I ever ate there.

And I came up with the phrase... 'Thar she blows (her cookies).'

It wasn't too funny the first time I said it to my folks, honest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA!
Yes, today I spent ALL day with my mother, grandmother, and my aunt Arety. I had a great time.

Road trips are fun and all, but when you do a road trip with these three ladies, EVERY moment is priceless.

ON THE ROAD WITH THE GIRLS:

WADE IS ON HIS WAY TO FOXWOODS:

SURPRISE #2
AND A NEW ARTICLE BY MATT



IF SEASON ENDED TODAY, RED SOX WOULD BE TIED FOR AL WILD CARD

By: Matt Wade,

(Boston)-----Despite losing a heart-breaker today against the Chicago
White Sox, 5-4, the Boston Red Sox are tied with the Texas Rangers for
the American League Wild Card race.
���� The Red Sox have 44 games remaining on their schedule. They have a
three game series at Fenway (MTW) hosting the dreadful cellar dwellars,
the Toronto Blue Jays. The Sox begin their final seven weeks of the
regular season against the Blue Jays tomorrow, sending Derek Lowe, Pedro
Martinez, and Tim Wakefield to the hill.
���� "We have to win this series, and 3 out of 3 would be nice," said
Terry Francona on Sunday. Lowe has to turn it up a notch; we'll be happy
with Pedro if he can a near-performance of his gem complete game shutout
Thursday, and Wakefield has to show that he is not a batting practice
pitcher, which he was looked like in his last two starts (6 home runs in
a game last week,OOUUCHHH!).
����
���� Boston faces Toronto for three at home, then head out to Chicago
for a three game series this weekend. Texas host the Cleveland Indians
for three (the Indians are hot, hot, hot) and then face the weary Kansas
City Royals, who will be happy to win 1 of 3. Anaheim is at Tampa Bay
this week for three and then head to the Bronx to face the Yankees for
three this weekend. This is the first time I have ever said this: I hope
the Yankees sweep. The Sox are 10 1/2 back in the AL East, and we have
to be realistic about winning the division.

For Numbers Sake: Here is a look at the AL Wild Card Race as of Sunday
night, August 15th:

1. Boston (64-52, .552) -----
1. Texas (64-52, .552) -----
2. Anaheim (65-53, .551) -----

���� The Red Sox need a sweep against the Blue birds and better get
their act together against the White Sox (lost 2 of 3 to them this
weekend) and win at least 2 out of 3. Go SOX!

Also, happy birthday to my mother, Cyndi, on August 16th. Mom, I hope
Lowe comes through for you tomorrow night.

HAPPY SATURDAY:
The next few days expect some interesting things to happen on this blog.

Many special 'guests' will be here doing some very cool things.

I don't want to give it away, but please check back when you can (as often as you can). I promise it will be worth it.

Working hard,
Wade

HUGE NEWS ON LATE NIGHT TV:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Late-night comedian Craig Kilborn is quitting his CBS talk show after a five-year stint in the time slot following "Late Show With David Letterman," Hollywood's trade papers reported on Friday.

Kilborn and Viacom Inc. -owned CBS had been in talks throughout the summer for a new multiyear deal keeping him at the helm of "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn," but he told network executives on Thursday that he wanted to move on, according to Daily Variety.

"It was easily the greatest job I've had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," the paper quoted Kilborn, 41, as saying. "But I simply want to try something new. I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects I haven't had time for."
