Hey Sully! Let's go ovah to Worcester Square spa and get a couple pops.
Worcester Square = Street not Square Spa = greek diner/corner store. Pops = beers
I used to see on-call anesthesiologists drinking Heinekens there and would pick up a pack of unfiltered lucky's for one of the (female) nurses on the oncology unit. She said she was in denial.
David Bowie's "China Doll" always seemed to be playing on the jukebox. There was also a used car battery store around the corner, where you could buy a battery that looked exactly like the one stolen out of your car the day before. Surreal times.
Schlittler doesn't look like he has the good shlit tonight. But it's early yet.
Rufus, I know this term, pops. Not as common in upstate New York but brings back good memories.
Wasn't the Bowie song "China Girl? Actually an Iggy Pop song, whose version was a lot better but not on jukeboxes as a rule. Which reminds me, today was the 76th anniversary of the first Ramones LP. Happy anniversary!

You are correct, good sir!
Delete"China Doll" was Grateful Dead, Mars Hotel.
I believe there was some Ramones on that same jukebox.
For the record I myself never had a beer there during working hours. Off the record, maybe a time or two. Each week.
RIP Dave Mason
