You can tell whether someone is an optimist or a pessimist by the way he reacts to Wednesdays. The pessimist drags himself into the office, plops down, and bitches about how far away the weekend is. Everyone around him puts on their headphones. For the optimist, Wednesdays are just splendid. He’s upbeat to the point of sprightly — and why not? The optimist knows that when his work is done another treat awaits him: He’s going to wrap his lips around a giant, oversized sausage.

Yes! The Stable (205 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale), Broward’s newest gay bar, is slinging tube meats to the masses on Sausage Wednesdays. Every week, you and your friends are invited to belly up, grab a Stable Boy (translation: bartender), and gnaw on complimentary sausage when you order a beer or cocktail (from noon to nine p.m.). Sure, the Stable offers Hot Dog Tuesdays also — but why settle? You’re worth sausage, baby. Call 954-565-4506, or visit www.jumponmarkslist.com.
