The perfect book directory for ME

Wow, I Stumbled on a great resource website for bibliophiles with a preference for mysteries and thrillers today! When I first started this site on Blogger, it was actually intended to be a small niche website focused on my love of Florida fiction. So much for plans. Stop, You’re Killing Me has all kinds of [...]

And this one time, at spring break I got into a bar fight in Key West…

Fab wrote a post about his regrets that brought back memories. Many moons ago when I was a just an innocent lad, my friends and I decided to go camping in the Keys during Spring Break. Purely for the fishing, of course. We hooked up a pop-up camper to my pickup, tied a canoe on [...]

Artemis Pyle: Not a Freeebird

Thomas Delmer Pyle, aka Gomer Artemis Pyle of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame was arrested last week for failing to register properly as a sex offender. He was convicted almost 15 years ago for attempted capital sexual battery by an adult on a victim younger than 12 and principal to lewd and lascivious on a child younger [...]

The Best of Both Worlds: A father's admission about Hannah Montana

Mark of the Mark, Gennie, & Dahmer (MGD) morning show at Rock 104.5 in Jacksonville made a startling admission on Monday’s show, a dark secret shared by the fathers of daughters across the country: He likes watching Hannah Montana. Of course, Mark’s son is only 3 1/2 years old and has no interest in Hannah [...]

New gear for Christmas

So, I talk about crime in Florida pretty regularly. Hard not to, what with drunken parents passing out in the car with kids in the backseat, or politicians being arrested for soliciting male prostitutes and what not. Florida’s got its own vibe when it comes to crime. So, what do you get for that hard-working [...]

Only in FLA: (Drunken) Parents of the Year

Why we insist on allowing EVERYONE with penis and a uterus to breed is beyond me. It’s a shame the kids are the ones that have to suffer. I mean, really, what kind of parents get so wasted on a Saturday with their kids that they black out WHILE DRIVING HOME and can’t even remember [...]

Gingerbread House Fundraiser

The Rotary Club of South Jacksonville has one of the most creative fundraisers going this holiday season. Check out the Gingerbread House Extravaganza. The Gingerbread House Extravaganza has raised $350,000 for charities since its founding in 2002. Photos can be seen here. What’s unique is the houses are designed to represent area landmarks, like the [...]

First Friday Artwalk in St. Augustine

This is the best time of year in St. Augustine. The weather is beautiful and the city does a great job of decorating with Night of Lights. There are also activities every single weekend, and one of the cool things to do is the St. Augustine Artwalk. On the first Friday and Saturday every month, [...]

Tebow for Heisman

Hey, the guy has made it tough for the Heisman voters, that’s for sure. They may not want to give it to a sophomore, but THAT’s the only reason they have at this point. Tonight’s game against FSU was pure artistry, 50+ TDs by any player is unheard of in a college season. I’m a [...]

Strange Searches

I’m used to seeing some odd search terms on my blogs. I’ve got one blog that gets slammed by people looking for information about Phil Mickelson’s illegitimate child every time Phil is in contention for a PGA tournament. A nice traffic bonus on typically slow weekends, but they really aren’t the kind of readers that [...]
