The bar is now open, celebrating the first major "Catastrophic Snow!" storm of the year. Appropriately named after a Catastrophic boy band.

We will also be celebrating the Happiest of Birthdays for Happy Gilmore.

To celebrate we will have Fancy Lawnmowers flowing freely, and all the Jonas Brothers favorites playing on the ole Juke Box.

If you can't handle the Jonas Brothers, we have plenty of oldies who left us too soon this week, we can feel free to play their songs too.

Listening to Hotel California as I read this....

Can someone help me here. After "On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair and the smell of ? rising up in the air." I just thought about it and I can't pull my phone out right now to google it.

"colitas"

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

What is colitas?

Colitis may be acute and self-limited or chronic, i.e. persistent, and broadly fits into the category of digestive diseases.

In a medical context, the label colitis (without qualification) is used if:
The cause of the inflammation in the colon is undetermined; for example, colitis may be applied to Crohn's disease at a time when the diagnosis is unknown, or
The context is clear; for example, an individual with ulcerative colitis is talking about their disease with a physician who knows the diagnosis.

It is the tip of the marijuana plant - the word translates into "little tails" in Spanish. I think it's the strongest part of the plant - or something like that.

cola pequeña?

Thank for the medical lesson eaudit. Basilring you seemed to know an awful lot about that

I plead the 5th!

Vodka?

We have a light snow here. Has it started "there" yet?

And we need to get back to singing.....

No drink for me yet. But thanks.

I haven't been in a BOL Bar in forever! Where's the cheesy hashbrowns and the cabana boys?

Since it was Happy's Birthday and he was in a sugar coma at work, the bar got opened late.

Everyone knows colitias/ coletus is a heady/fragrant desert flower. Geez! ! What do you think Hotel California is, Puff the Magic Dragon? !

Hotel California = life (death) in Los Angels night life

Puff = loss of innocence in children

colitias of course is a nasty medical thinghy.

but in the case of the eagles song, it was that they asked some drug induced roadie about the Mexican spelling of the plant and it came out incorrectly (there is a surprise)
