“I hate it in Niagara Falls! Nothing interesting ever happens here! Why didn’t we go to Disney? This family sucks!” – Eleven-year-old Cindy Johnson, a Kardashian in the making.
Niagara Falls is boring, Cindy?
Eleven hours of hospitality “labor”. Over 800 check-outs. A 1980s sitcom star. The entire cast of a hit reality show plus former cast members and hanger-ons/leeches. Several bachelorette parties. A wedding party. Corporate drones. And assorted families/ne’er-do-wells/gamblers/rapscallions.
Mix ’em all together with the world’s most outspoken blogging bellman and what do you get?
Well, just imagine taking the characters of The Shawshank Redemption, dropping them into the background of Apocalypse Now and mixing in the destruction of Independence Day. Got it?
Now multiply that by ten.
Yes, kiddies, it was another wild ‘n wooly Sunday morning in Niagara Falls. The weather was gorgeous twenty-four hours ago, but it has turned on the proverbial dime, and the city has been covered in rain, wind and a profound walking-across-your-grave-chill.
So as you can imagine, serving the public has been more fun than watching a blind long-tailed cat navigate its way through a room full of rocking chairs.
As the hoodlums and bad girls of Grease requested, I would tell you more, but the truth of the matter is…
I’m knackered.
The upheaval of the past few months lingers, I missed this week’s Sunday Blog Share on Twitter, my bad leg (yes, I’ve become that guy) is throbbing, and my shift is far from over.
I will say this: I’ll never watch that douchey reality show featuring “housemates battling for TV supremacy” again.
Not that I ever did.
Pray for me, friends, won’t you?
See you in the lobby…
You've Been Hooked! 
Love the word rapscallions. Hope you get a breather on Monday.
We’ll see.
There’s a tire manufacturers conference in town.
Those guys are always spinning their wheels…
LOL
No, not boring, Hook. That kid needs to get a real life, I say. Wouldn’t know excitement if it bit her on her big booty, I bet.
You are a wise man…
Do you ever get a day off Hook? You are one hard working son of a gun. i don’t know how you do it-on your feet all day – and long shifts and all that abuse. Whew, one dedicated employee. Have a great day dude!
I’ll be off Saturday for Niagara Falls Comic-Con.
Yeah, baby!
Awesome Hook!
As an aside Hook, I have a new guest post over at Cordelia’s Mom’s http://cordeliasmomstill.com/2015/06/01/elizabeth-and-ute-guest-post-by-paul-curran/ I would be honored if you had time to drop by for a read. Thank You
Of course it will be boring if they don’t leave their room. 😮 😮 😮
Depends on what they’re doing in the room…
Then it could be a hotel room anywhere.
When I visited, I loved. My parents had their honeymoon there. Bored people are boring. Hugging you with the strenght of a bear. This is virtual, though. IRL puny.
Virtual hugs rule!
Thanks!
I like this, Hook. Mind you, I have a pretty fixed opinion about Kim Karadarseian

Your opinion is strong indeed, Grasshopper!
Well somebody has to have one.
Kids! Take them to the world’s wonders and all they want is fries! But Hook, it’s NOT fun watching a long tailed blind cat navigate a room full of rocking chairs…why do people think nasty things happening to cats is funny? Cats are good and sweet and nice!
