BLUE MONDAY Pub- "It is an unquestioned fact that during the Middle Ages the Monday before the beginning of Lent was called Blue Monday - but there are two schools of thought as to why it got that name. One holds that the churches were decorated in blue on that day. Another believes that because so many people spent the weekend before Lent in drunken revels, they woke up mighty 'blue' and hung over on that Monday morning. And then there's a later version of the origin of blue Monday, this one stemming from the days of sailing ships. Monday - any Monday - was flogging day. Errant sailors were brought before the mast and flogged until they were black and blue." Tangled Up In Blue Pub -- Tangled up in Blue is from a Bob Dylan song, but it certainly has a double entendre here! Hee hee!! Nice!!!

Oh, I knew that. Just thought I'd mention that the Blue Parrot was the pub in one of the best movies ever. And no, it wasn't Animal House. Blazing Saddles then?
