Down hear till thursday morning, killing a few birds with one stone. Been here awhile already and frankly, dieing for some conversation other than the dribble out of the dope heads and drunks thats invested this place.

    +1! lol

    Besides, you shouldn't be taunting us with sunny Florida when our garages are covered with ICE and SNOW! I'm just this side of Jack Nicholson in the Shining at this point in the season. And there IS an AX in my garage!

    You just need to DRINK more then anyone will sound like, let's see, for "you", George Will or W.F. Buckley?

    I am so envious, I can't find the words, Oh, I did!

    Enjoy the weather!

    Yeah, drink more ? Finding a joint with a decent wine list is like trying to find a **** in the Vatican

    My favorite part of the movie is when he is chasing his wife and he keeps yelling, "Wendy." After like the tenth time he drops the tone of his voice and gets all serious and says, "Wendy."

    Guess you would have had to be there :)

    Anyway, have fun in the sun, Tony. I lived in Clearwater for a year, but I was in high school so no recommendations for you.

    This should be really helpful for you, Tony......starting at post #7: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?158166-So

    In other words, what is the likelihood of any Clearwater (or surrounding areas) Polkies seeing and reading this thread? Why in the heck didn't you use a title like "Calling All Clearwater, FL Polkies!", "Clearwater (Florida) Drinkin' Pal Wanted!" or "Free Wine and Grouper in Clearwater!", etc.?

    "Escape"? Who are you, Rupert Holmes? And is it really wine you were looking to share?......................Don't make me say it...

    Yeah, I think you're right, PolkieMan! My post was a reference to Tony's thread title and the song Escape (the Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes. The song's chorus posted - should have read it a little closer! YIKES! - made it look like a call for man love, which it was NOT! I repeat, WAS NOT!

    You guys are brutal man, lol.

    Well, back home now and took care of all my missions I had to accomplish while there. I think I cleaned them out of all their Grouper while there. I felt like Bubba from Forest Gump.

    Had Grouper baked, fried, grilled, smoked.....had Grouper Caribbean style, Cajun, Grouper nuggets, Grouper sticks, Grouper grilled cheese, even a Grouper Rueben....which was pretty effin' good btw.

    Back home a squirrel had the poor misfortune of falling out of a tree.....while my dog who happens to wear a squirrel patrol shirt, was outside. Needless to say that squirrel was in a few pieces all over the yard. The wife had to recruit a neighbor with a bribe of a 12 pack to clean it up. Now the dog just sits in the yard looking up, waiting for squirrels from heaven. Good to be home, back in my own little world of insanity.
