Bosby and the Receptionist

It was a relatively low key day in Hollywood.  Mondays are the one day shift I work at the bar during the week.  It's kind of the dues you pay to work the weekend shifts.  I say dues because no one and I mean absolutely no one comes into my bar during the day on Mondays.  My bar is in the middle of the Hollywood party strip and to make matters worse it has no windows.  It's a cave during the day, and nobody wants to return to the scene of the crime of their weekend debauchery to grab some tacos on Monday.  So I spend the day cutting limes and cleaning bottles in solitude.  That is until 1:00 when I call Nikki.  Nikki is the receptionist at the temp agency I work at.  You see, everyday at 1:00 I call and let the agency know whether or not I am available to work the following day.  That means at 1:00 everyday I get to speak the wonderful Nikki.  Nikki is about the fourth receptionist in the last 6 months there so the job must be terrible.  But by the way her voice perks up when I call, I know I must be making her day.  Over the last few weeks our conversations have been getting longer and longer.  Granted we just talk about how much her job sucks, but just give me time.  One of these days I'm going to go into that temp. agency and ask her out.  Now some may interpret this as creepy but I view it as a classic early 90s rom com scenario.  She's got one of those voices where you just know she's hot.  I'm only telling you this so that you can all be in on the ground floor if we turn out to be the newest Hollywood power couple.  Just think: Bicky! or Nosby!  The only thing that's stopping me is if she had some terrible deformity like a hunchback or an orb head (I'm talking a head with virtually no facial features)?  NAH it can't be. She probably looks like this:
Nikki:
This is honestly the hottest police sketch I could find.

Now for a new weekly feature called "Bosby's Billboards."  Los Angeles is overpopulated with billboards advertising the new TV shows and movies coming out.  Every traffic light you stop at you are forced to look at these often ridiculous billboards.  This week's billboard is a couple weeks old but I managed to see it as I was getting off the highway on the way home.  It's for the new A&E reality show called "Teach" starring Tony Danza.  Yes Tony Danza.  The show actually follows TONY DANZA as he teaches high school English for the first time at an inner city school in Philadelphia.


My favorite part of this billboard are the random words written on the chalkboard.  Homework!  Soliloquy! Do Now! Also the title makes it look like the name of the show is "Teach Tony Danza."  What could you possibly teach the omniscient Tony Danza?  Lastly what is that look he's giving? What is he thinking?  'Hmmmm I wonder who is the boss?'

But hey at least its not as bad as...


Alright cronies, see ya tomorrow
