Squash that rumor…

by mike

Isn’t it amazing sometimes how rumors can spread on the tips of the wind covering a city in just one day. Today I heard a nasty rumor not once, but three times.

So go ahead, have a seat, and I’ll share the rumor. The rumor is that “My Brother’s Bar” has been sold, as sad as it is, to a new owner. Needless to say I was shocked, baffled, mystified and more. Dumbfounded (one more term to use) I stared blankly as one of these persons shared with me (with an edge almost on tears) that it was so sad that the oldest bar in Denver was closing or changing hands. Where is our heritage? Where is our tradition?

The rumor continued to talk about how the bar was a huge money maker, the owners getting to the point of wanting to chill out, and how it all made sense. Well it sure as heck didn’t make sense to me and I was getting bummed out.
Turns out it is all horse puckey. I had thought about doing a post to ask all of you out there if anyone had heard the rumor, and then realized that was a moronic way to handle it. So I just called them. Duh.

So I ring up My Brother’s Bar and shared with them the scary rumor. With a half laugh and half disgusted chortle they let me know that the rumor was not true and was simply a vicious rumor. They also asked me to squash it, and to help spread the squashing word/

So SQUASH SQUASH SQUASH to this rumor. My Brother’s Bar isn’t being sold. My Brother’s Bar isn’t going anywhere. Now go get off your butts and enjoy a beer and a jcb on the patio and toast to the fact that sometimes things actually do stay the same.

Whew… that is a relief.
