I'm on a Boat

I realize that T-Pain and the Lonely Island's sensational hit was last summer. However, I was on a boat last night and had to fight the urge to break into song and stand at the bow like Leo. Here's a snapshot of the Frying Pan, Manhattan's hottest bar for after-work drinks:

I thought that Chowder Day at AYC would provide me with the largest concentration of preppy men, but I was wrong. There were more dudes in loafers (no socks) on the boat than you'd see on the train out to New Haven for 4th of July Weekend. My observations:

1) One 1 brand of sunglasses is allowed: Ray-Bans. They can be Wayfarers or Aviators or those weird ones like you'd see on Mad Men. Sunglasses can be wore on your face, but they look so much cooler when they rest in the crook of your button-down shirt, with a few chest hairs pokin' out.

2) It's fun to talk to people at your table, but it's more fun to watch the people around you, as they try to pick up young, inebriated, overheated singles. You have the option to multi-task here: watch strangers in the sunglasses lens of the person who's talking to you (bonus if they're big shiny aviators).

3) Some people actually watch Trueblood Season 3. And have opinions on the matter.

4) Ladies, be careful when talking to a Manhattan stud. He may have a beautiful tan, beautiful smile, and beautiful business card, but he may also be a beautiful American Psycho just waiting to videotape your sexual romp and then chase you through his apartment with a chainsaw. Just saying.

5) You're not as funny as 7 Coronas-and-lime make you think you are. So stop talking so G-D much.
