Around Key West

by

Upper left top – the inevitable “Eat it Raw” photo near the docks. In high school I wore a shirt with this image and they made me go home and change. Upper left middle – a view of Duval street from the 2nd level of the Hard Rock Cafe. Left bottom – they came to our hotel and cut all the coconuts off the palm tree and then cleaned everything up. We appreciated it the next day with high winds. Right top – a view on Duval street as the night heats up. Middle bottom – a large cruise ship along the docks. Lower right – the frozen drinks on tap on Duval street. Someone walked by and shouted “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning!”

Don’t know what it was about Key West but they had a lot of odd cars. I like Red Stripe because I always associate it with hanging out on the beach and relaxing so a truck full makes me very relaxed.

Deep Thought

Is burrita the word for a female burrito?

In researching the answer to this question we came across this interesting website. Needless to say, Chicagoboyz condemns the popular practice of donkey sex slavery in the strongest terms.

(But perhaps we could use more donkeys in the chain of command.)

If We Outsourced the DMV

by

Writing on public sector unions Walter Russell Meade says in passing:

Public sector unions did not have to face that kind of pressure until recent years. You can’t outsource the Department of Motor Vehicles or the local public school to China.

He’s right but wouldn’t it be awesome if we could?

Just imagine the scene…

(Scene: The local DMV. As you approach the doors, they are thrown open by two Chinese dressed in silk robes. As you pass, they throw themselves to the floor in a kowtow. Inside, the office is decorated in red silk and gold. A fountain burbles somewhere. A peacock saunters by. An elderly gentlemen with a fumanchu mustache and flanked by four others hurries up and prostrates himself before you.)

Li Chou: Oh, most esteemed and honored citizen! Pray tell us what glorious task we most humble and unworthy public servants may have the honor of performing for your most graciousness today?

You: Uhm, well, I need to get my license renewed.

Li Chou: (Rising up to kneel) Aiee! Having grown in years more beautiful and wise you now justly demand the articles of success that the mandate of heaven grants you?

You: Er, yes?

Li Chou: (Looking to the ceiling and claps his hands rapidly) The citizen has spoken! Bring forth the citizen’s throne and ring the gong of renewal!
