You Just Can Not Make This Up

    A good friend of ours is just turning 36 years old and a little touchy about her age. Well actually a lotta touchy. One day we stopped into a convenience  store for her to buy a pack of cigarettes. There was a person training a new person on the cash register.
    The trainer said, “After you swipe the register will say.. Is this person over 40 years of age“
    With that the trainer looked at our friend and said “She obviously is so hit OK” With that we took one step back, knowing it was about to get messy….. Our friend blatted, “REALLY?!?! REALLY?!?!? obviously over 40?!?!? “
For our next game we are all going to play the game…guess your weight!

    One night we walked into one of our favorite Ybor Gay Bars. A good friend and celebrity bartender who we will call Mike walked in. He insisted on buying us a drink. Mike ordered a round of drinks and asked the bartender (Who knows us all very well) to start a tab. The bartender asked for a credit card which is standard at the club.
    Mike said, “You know I always pay in cash. Just start a tab.” The bartender said ‘NO’ and asked for a credit card again.
    Mike then took his…. shoes off and slammed them on the bar top saying a little upsetting, “Here keep my shoes you know I’m not walking out with out them!!!”
     We all laughed. The next day we saw Mike and commented on how funny it was last night when he left his shoes on the bar top. Mike looked surprised and said, “OMG!! I lost my shoes last night! Do you think I paid my tab?”
    After several calls we found out that Mike did pay his tab and told them to keep his shoes.  LOL

Every Halloween for many years Tom Barcia and Mark Cunningham would make EYE BALL Sandwiches and bring them to MC Film. We would all laugh as he passed them out to all the people. Their reactions were priceless.  Here is how they would make them. 1st go to the freezer department of your grocery store and pickup a big bag of frozen EYEBALLS……(which looked a lot like meat balls) then a big jar of BLOOD! (hum could be spaghetti sauce). Combine and put into a crock pot to heat up. To serve cut FINGARS in half  (hotdog buns) and fill with EYEBALLS!  Your laughing right now but you will all be trying this!!!   On a sad note Uncle Tom & Mark both passed away a couple years ago with  in a couple weeks of each other.  If you remember and miss the guys drop a note to Tom’s daughter Michelle at

We all know who Queen Elizabeth is. Right? We also know that her Mom was the Queen Mum. The Queen Mum’s nicknames was “The Old English Rose” . The Queen Mum’s father was Albert. So The Royal Albert China has the most famous pattern in the world call “Old Country Rose” named after the Queen Mum. Are you with me so far???? Every afternoon at Tea Time the Queen Mum did a social no no. She preferred to use a Morning Breakfast Cup and not a tea cup. The breakfast cup was larger and also called a dunking cup. You could dunk your toast into this cup. When asked why she prefers this Morning cup the Queen Mum said with a big smile. “When you put ice cubes into a regular tea cup there is not enough room to the Beefeaters Gin. So I got to thinking…. If this cup is good enough for that old Queen, it’s good enough for this old Queen LOL… LMAO…. Cheers Tea Cup

    One hot Saturday night there was a group of High School teenagers up to no good in Central Ybor in Ybor City. The mischievous group approached the wrong Grandmother there. They aggressively asked her for money. After repeatedly saying NO, the grandmother had enough of this nonsense. She calmly reached into her huge purse and pulled out…..  a can of Bear Mace.
    She then preceded to mace them all aggressively in the face. The kids ran to the local convenience store and started to pour milk into their eyes making quite the commotion. The police came and arrested all of them.
    We guess they will not mess with a Grandmother again!!!!

What NOT to Say to your bartender. A couple walked up to the bar and both appeared to have been drinking. The woman started to cuss out a neighboring bar. I asked “What happened? Why were they so mean to you?” She actually said….  “Those MF’ers actually told me to leave. Just because I thru up all over their bathroom. NOW give me a MF strong drink NOW!!!” Hum… they both got ice water. LOL

One beautiful day we were walking past a sidewalk cafe in Ybor City. There sitting were two of our favorite Grandmothers of Ybor. We stopped and asked “What are you two lady’s up to today.” With a big smile they replied “We are have a Sicilian lunch today.” Had to ask “What’s a  Sicilian Lunch?” With big smiles the ladies said…… “That’s when we drink a bottle of wine and then decide if we should have lunch or another bottle!!”

With all this religious right in KY it reminded us of this. Several years ago in Tampa at one of the big box churchs there was going to be a seminar on converting homosexuals to be come heterosexuals. LOL we have known many straight guys that admitted to being Gay but not one Gay man that turned straight. Anyway we were a part of a group of LGBT Community leaders that decide to do a protest on the sidewalk in front of this church. We called ahead and told them that we were coming on Friday at 3PM. About 40 of us protesters showed up. The pastor came out and talked with us. He was actually quite nice. Then the church board came out and lined up on the church front steps. If looks could kill we would all have been dead right there. The pastor told us that they could not chance anything with their children so school was call off early. He asked us not to start our protest until after the children and been safely removed from the property. Just then the school buses started to roll out. As the buses passed us the school children started to spit at us, throw their lunches and screamed out every dirty word you could think of. Mean while the church board smiled with approval at their children. We preceded with prayers that God loves everyone… etc and left peacefully. Several months later this pastor was killed in a plane accident

This week we were sharing hurricane stories. A good friend of our told us this one. OMG!!!!  After Hurricane Andrew hit Florida the storm then made landfall into Mississippi as a tropical storm. Our friend had his colonoscopy scheduled for that day. The hospital assured him it would be OK. The procedure started (back then the Doctors used large hose like tubes).  Just as they started the storm hit and the power went out. There he was on the table all attached up. The Doctors said “Don’t worry we have back up generators and they will come back on in a couple minutes.” Our friend said that was the longest 3 minutes of his life!!! LOL

A good friend of ours was coming to Tampa for her final job interview with a large company. Going down the big escalator at Tampa International Airport to the baggage area there was a guy standing with her name on a card. WOW she thought how very nice. The guys name was Larry and he welcomed her to Tampa. Outside there was a car waiting for them. Off to the hotel they went. On the way they talked about everything… How excited she was to be in Tampa and her possible new job & etc., etc.,  etc. When they arrived at the hotel Larry tapped the driver on the shoulder and the driver gave a thumb up. Larry then congratulate her on getting the new job. She looked surprised and said “I’m not sure what’s going on?” Larry smiled and said he was the CEO of the company and the driver was the head of HR…. This just shows it’s always good to be nice to everyone.
