You Just Can Not Make This Up

I have been bartending full and part time most of my adult life. The most annoying customers to me are young giggling girls!!! One day a girl in a trashy whore outfit, that she probably changed into in the car because her Mother wouldn’t let her leave the looking this bad, walks in…  She asked excitedly if I could make her a “Green Alien Screaming Orgasm?” I smile and said “PUFF you’re a green alien now scream.”  Giggle, Giggle I want it as a shot. I have one before and it totally F’d me up. I asked what’s in it. She doesn’t know but had one at the bar next doors. I said sorry have no idea what that is. (bartenders make up shots all the time) She then asks the predictable question “What do you know how to make!?!?!” With a BIG SMILE I tell her “I know how to make a “Whore Moan””. She asked what’s in it… I say “I just don’t pay her.” It just goes over her head. I then say just let me make something that will taste like Christmas in your mouth. She tries the shot and PUFF It’s the best shot her has ever had in her mouth. What’s it called??? I tell her a “Southern Cowboy C***sucker (Southern Comfort & Baily Cream).” Now you know why I go home laughing every night!!!

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor did a FANTASTIC job with “Boom by the Bay!” The favorite spot to watch fireworks from in Ybor City is the parking garage top level.  From there you can see all the fireworks across Tampa and some even from Temple Terrace, Busch Gardens & Clearwater. After the show everyone walks to their favorite watering hole. CHEERS

Defining and Defending Our LGBTQ Future is July 19-21 at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay.

“This is a pivotal moment for Florida’s LGBTQ community. Despite the progress that has been made, we are up against Republican elected officials who are actively working to take away our rights. Democratic elected officials and activists are coming together from across Florida to organize and plan for the next phase in the fight for full LGBTQ equality,” said Stephen Gaskill, president of the Florida LGBTA Democratic Caucus.

The Summer Conference brings together more than 100 LGBTQ activists and allies from around Florida; federal, state and local elected officials; Democratic Party officials; and subject matter experts on a range of topics. A preliminary schedule follows and will be updated frequently.

You Just Can Not Make This Up

In 1983 John “Billy” Ferry walked into the Palm River Winn Dixie and tossed gasoline over clerks and people waiting in the checkout line. Killing 5 people and hurting many more. He’s is serving 5 life sentences, one for each of the people he killed. His 14 year old son, John was arrested in ‘91 for possession of a firebomb and destructive device.

Fast forward to 1986 when we purchased a home in North Hyde Park. From the second floor we could see into the lot of the house next door. There was a strange long pile of dirt on one side. We asked the seller about it. She told us that there was an old guy living there. He helped a homeless guy and gave him a place to live. They then started to argue and to fight. Suddenly the old guy was gone and the young guy started to sell everything on the front porch. When the neighbors asked where was the older guy, he would say “he moved back up north.”  

The landlord came and evicted the young guy.  The young homeless guy was Billy Ferry.  After the fire-bombing the neighbors called the police. They came to the house and for 3 weeks to dig up the back yard. They watched in horror and wonder.  The older gentleman was never found.
