Learning to like people dressed up as pirates is
actually pretty easy - especially if you join in...
This Saturday is Gasparilla Pirate Fest down Tampa way.
Always too much fun - and we always have to stay over 'cause there's no way we're driving home that fucked up.
Juss' sayin'. Take a look:

Is there something happening in OKC that
I don't know about these days?
Plans to build the tallest skyscraper in the United States are shaping up in an unlikely metropolis: Oklahoma City. Developers at a real estate company are adjusting the already ambitious plans to construct the Boardwalk at Bricktown Tower by a few hundred feet to make the building reach 1,907 feet high — which would make it the tallest in the country.
Plans for the structure consist of three towers, each about 345 feet tall, and a fourth tower jutting 1,907 feet into the sky, dominating Oklahoma City’s otherwise unremarkable skyline.
The mixed-use project spans 5 million square feet. Plans include 1,776 residential units, two Hyatt hotels, condos, and 110,000 square feet of commercial and community use space.
Ya gotta admire the optomism of these guys when buildings are going vacant in every other major city in the country.
Is there anything that isn't an excuse to have cocktails?
Here we were seven years ago tomorrow moving full-time from Jersey to become Floridia-ites. Cool thing is - I put this on Fakebook and about 50 people showed up to wish us good travels and all that shit. A couple of them were there to make sure for themselves that I really was leaving. Hmmm...

The Catatumbo River may be perfectly situated to feed a permanent lightning storm. Scientists think the surrounding mountains corral the right amount of cold and warm winds, which are then fed by water evaporating from the river, along with some methane from a local oil field for good measure. This atmospheric gumbo causes a lightning storm to break out 260 nights a year, almost always at 7 p.m. local time. This little bit of trivia actually came from Cracked.com. Go figure...

What an absolute fuckin' shit hole this place was, and to this day they talk about it like it was the friggin' Sistine Chapel or some shit. Me and a coupla buddies were in the Village one night sometime porbably around 1978 or so, and we stumbled in to this place. I didn't last five minutes before I whacked some drugged-up jerkoff who tried to steal my drink. Oh, and the band that night was Blondie. They sucked.

Gasparilla is a blast, I'm a member of Krewe of F-Troop and yes its named after the show we both use to watch. Do you still come down for the big party in the street? If so our float is number 40 something and looks like a stockade fort pulled by a deuce and a half. Stop by for cocktails and food which we always have plenty of both!
