People are Talking
What a great rumor we were told about 1 month ago that some of the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners were actually thinking about a countywide Domestic Partnership Registry for Hillsborough County and might be worth talking about! We held back writing about the rumor because it sounded to be only that, wishful thinking of ones imaginary dream and no committed action! But this is a new 2013 and we will see!!! Just last week Pinellas County Commissioners voted for a countywide Domestic Partnership Registry. And we thought that Hillsborough County was the progressive county. Local municipalities Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater and Gulfport had their city councils pass the fair resident legislation. Yes, it does make for a more equal, fair and happy economic community.
The always fun Miss Rodger & Lady Nancy were visiting in town 2 weeks ago. They had such a great time they are back for 2 more weeks! Carnival Cruise Lines ship to the Bahamas will never be the same again! Hamburger Mary’s manager Sheriff Mike, bartender James, Frankie & DJ Disney had quite the time on their deep water cruise. So far their lips are sealed, but the cruise bar bill was seen!!! OMG!!! After a Happy Hour or 2 we will find out the real dish!!!
The GaYBOR Clubs were all PACKED this past weekend again! It has to be the super weather. You can just imagine what it’s going to be like during the upcoming Gasparilla Festival events!
This is GREAT!!!

SINK HOLE!!!!
Back in our college days at USF, we had 2 good friends who were lovers and drag queens too. Carrie had just gotten a newer car but wanted to keep is old car the Orange Bomber! Our apartment complex wouldn’t let us keep it there. Our two friends lived in a trailer court on North Nebraska Ave. They said sure just bring it over here and park it behind our trailer. We brought the Orange Bomber over and had parked her behind the trailer. The four of us we sitting on the picnic table, drinking a beer, when all of a sudden Mark noticed something!!!! The back of the car was starting to sink into the ground. More!!! More!!! More!!! … then the front tires were off the ground and the trunk was going into the ground. Everybody started to yell…” SINK HOLE, SINK HOLE!!!!”
 Our two friends ran into their trailer and we all started to bring out wigs dress, shoes etc etc etc and tossing them into our other cars. By the time the fire department and police had arrived there was a big crowd around. The firemen came back laughing and said, “Guys there is no sink hole. You just parked on top of an old septic tank and the tank collapsed!!”
After the tow truck got her out you can just imagine what the car smelled like. LOL LOL LOL
