I love beer, beer loves me.

I'm on the 'wall of foam'I knew it had to be there, I just never wanted to stand there long enough to find it. I notice I'm in between "The Wolcott's", I wonder what Kevin thinks of that?

Why don't people come hang when they say they will?

I knew you guys wouldn't make it. Good thing Mo has my back. Cool to see Brett and Jen again too. Brett just finished driving down from North Carolina, and he managed to come on out and tip a few with us. Now thats dedication!

Wednesday nights at the Emerald

Since I sold my Wii yesterday, and Guitar Hero is up on ebay right now, I need a new hobby. I figure double crown on the rocks should do for now. Of course if that gets boring there's always beers at Dunedin Brewery later. Mo is bold, or crazy, smart enough to ride her scooter all the way get a ride from downtown St. Pete to Dunedin. Can't say the same for me. I'm rollin on all four wheels tonight. Let's see if any of the quitters from work actually show up, doubtful. And yes, that is a challenge.

Help me choose my next License Plate

I will soon be up to renew my registration and tags, and have decided to finally go ahead and get a custom one. After seeing the cool motorcycle plate in Bradenton a few weekends ago, I decided I had to have one too. So I searched a few ideas on the HSMV site, but I can't quite make up my mind. And so I turn to you, dear friends, to help me decide. Please use the poll at the left of the page to vote for what you think would look good on the back of my (sorry looking) ride.

Surgical Services Holiday Party



Yesterday was our Holiday Party at work, aka. Second Annual O.R. Turkey Fry. Its your standard workplace potluck, but last year we decided to fry a couple turkeys out by the loading dock. They went over so well with the people who had never had one that this year we had a big demand. So this is where I spent at least half of my workday yesterday. I fried a total of 7 turkeys. Four were for at work, and 3 went home with various people. By midday most of the O.R. team was out there, and many of the other departments had heard about it and came to check out what we were doing. The smell spread across the entire back of the building, and once it got sucked into the intakes, permeated some departments inside. Thankfully the facilities manager was very cool with us boiling 8 gallons of oil over an open flame (slipping him a drumstick helped) and let us get away with it. Next year I'm going for 3 fryers and 9 birds!

Florida is filled with scary drivers


It's always a bad sign when you can't even see a driver in the car.

Best Damn vanity license plate yet

How fitting for a Triumph. (They're English)Besides the ones who moved here from somewhere in the UK how many people here even get this? I'll tell you. About 1/10th of one percent. Maybe.

Skip on top. Reverse on bottom. And that's how you play...

Everyone MUST play this. I will be distributing printed and electronic copies of the rules sheet. The girl who came up with this is a pure genius. Hint: if youre playing with whiskey, add LOTS of water if you want to see the end of even one game.

And yes, the picture is sideways. Deal with it.

Nekromantix @ State Theatre

Nekromantix rocked the State last night, great time. I had not realized it until they started playing, but the singer/bass player is also in the Horrorpops. Who I also happened to see at the State, and they rocked the joint too. And what would a night out in St Pete be without a trip to the Emerald after for drinks. And then of course the obligatory 3:30 a.m. stop at St Pete Diner for eggs n' bacon. Monique was in fine form again, and I got to introduce some of her friends to the 'slap game'. Ah yes, another night of physical violence against relative strangers. When will it end?

UPDATE 12/10/2007: Here is a video I forgot I had shot. At 176x144 its not the best resolution , but what do you want from a phone?

Sorry, no PBR here.

It's a Damn shame when you walk up to a bar and the first thing you see is a sign telling you what you CAN'T have. Even worse when it's something you actually want.

Hangin with Vinnie Paul


That's right, Vinnie Paul from Pantera, Damageplan and now of Hellyeah! Caught the Hellyeah show at Jannus Landing last night thanks to Gen and Dave, and got to hang at Tamiami after with Vinnie. After that we all went down to St Pete Diner for breakfast, then back to the bus for shots of Crown Royal and Skyy. Kick ass night, I stayed out way too late again and paid the price. The guy is totally cool too. He hung out like just another one of the gang, no rockstar attitude or ego, no namedropping, nothing. We all sat around breakfast just shooting the shit and laughing. Funny fucker too. Too bad his brother couldn't have been there, he was probably just as cool. Rest in peace, Dime.

I just wish Anthony could have gone, he would have crapped his pants. I mean that in a literal way, he would have pooped on himself.
