The Keys were fun, but.......................................
It sucks that Corporations own all of Duval Street! Wachovia, Burger King, Wendy's, Denny's, Fat Tuesday's and other under the radar corporations! It rained the whole time so fishing got cancelled and I now have a head cold! The off-the-path gigs were cool, PT's Late Night for Cuban Roast Pork, 801 Bourbon for the Cabaret and the Truman and Ford Estates for Architecture. As they say here in the lounge, "Ask me anything?"

1. No fishing? The horror. Did you consume your body weight in booze?

10. Good golfers? Ehhh...we have our moments...
Usually good for mid-pack. But, as guys? They're good fun to play with. My former boss and two guys from the office. Actually, my department organizes the tournaments we have every year.

13. I love a cordial outing!
I had to quit tennis because each time we'd play doubles, inevitably either the 3rd or the 4th would be an "A" hole slammer instead of a volley'er! Took the whole social aspect out of my game!

16. I can't stand golf a-holes!
I just wanna enjoy my round, maybe tell a few jokes, BS a little, schmooze...I'm usually real lucky, because I play munis. But occasionally some prick will just ruin everything.

Of course, some folks think I'm the a-hole, but screw 'em! :P

Ohhh...BBQ dinner is included too! :9

4. DUDE! I was worrying on ya all week!
Crappy weather and all! No fishing, at all?:(? Did you check out that No Name deal?

For the record, the local places rule the day in the Keys. were there any sunset shows at all with this weather, that one guy "EVERYBODY WATCH!!!EVERYBODY WATCH!!" juggling fire up on the high unicycle?

9. Uncle Phil was booked so no fishing.............
Edited on Fri Oct-03-03 08:22 PM by Shakeydave
He was having luck with Permit! Rat Bastard! Almost went out on a charter for billfish but it fell through. Waded just North of MM 77 along the power lines and saw nada! Mrs. Shakey and I are headed out on Sunday onto Charlotte Harbor and try for some reds! Definitely taking my boat to the Keys next time. BTW, it was lobster season, so dinner was always good and cheap!

On Edit: Sorry, I didn't answer you. We did not make it to No Names. In fact, we couldn't find it in the phone book. I did get roped into the "Dog on a High-Wire" act. Silly dog took me for a twenty!

5. What was it I saw last time...Hard Rock Cafe?
Planet Hollywood? Either way I almost puked.

All I know is that Hemingway would probably burn those places done if he was around to see the Disneyfication of a real downtown.

8. Hemingway would go apeshit.
I bet the old-time Conchs are not amused either.

It'll be too easy though.

21. Here ya go!
http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/

I'm surprised, have you missed the dozens of "Guy James Show" threads?

If you're anywhere within 100 miles of Naples you can probably pick up the station on your radio. If not the streaming works quite well too.

Call in?
