Fort Myers Beach DECYC Gift exchange.


"I think we should up the spending limit of the clubs gift exchange. Twenty five dollars doesn't go that far anymore," said Hard Luck Hanna from Texarkana.

"I disagree," said Cleveland Jack, "we had a mass resignation of exchange participants when it went from $15 to $25. It's hard to believe that we have such shortsighted members but that is what happened."

Run-aground Ralph joined the conversation from his Pukin' Pelican bar stool, "Christmas is for family. Not a club activity."

"You ain't involved. Go back to Fox News if you don't want in, stay out," said Cracker Bob. We all knew Bob is a fan of Fox 'Fair and Balanced' News so we asked why he was being critical. "Not in a bar, not in a bar. Too may arguments!"

"I'm sure glad he's gone," said Hanna. "He's way to proud of his edible panty gifts for the women."

"I think he has Alzheimer’s' 'cause he can't find his way home half the time," said Boston Bob. "You know Hot Tamale left him. She caught him with a 19 year old on his lap at 'Delusional' the titty bar. She's suing him for breach of promise and she went back together with Manny from Miami."

"He can find his way to the titty bar but he probably can't remember why he's there," said Hanna. 

"Okay, so we leave it at $25 and draw the names tomorrow," I said. "You don't have to be present to participate. We'll accept wish lists posted on the bulletin board until the 20th of December. Good luck to us all."

"Let's get another round before happy hour ends," said Cleveland Jack. "Oh, Betty could you back us up another round."

"No backing up allowed," said Betty. A low rumble of protest rose from our group. "It's the new rule from the management. Don't get me in trouble." She pointed at one of the sourpuss owners behind the bar.

"We were just about to order Nachos and a Pizza, could you tell her that she just canceled that order," said Boston Bob. "You'd think she would take care of her regulars better."

Where is this Delusions? Do you mean fantasy's? They don't do topless just 'stopless' is what their sign says? As far as titty bars go, sure Delusions is better!

The End of a Fort Myers Beach Circus Connection!

Image
         When 91 year old Kel Egony passed away recently in Lee Memorial Hospital not many of his fellow Danes would ever have guessed that would be the place he would draw his final breathe. In his youth in Denmark, 14 year old Kel wanted to be an airplane mechanic but when the Germans invaded, his family insisted he change apprenticeships to became a mason.           Kel Jorgensen was too young to be conscripted by the Nazi's but old enough to work for the underground. Their jobs were especially difficult since the occupying German soldiers spoke fluent Danish after growing up in Denmark because of food shortages in Germany after the first World War. Still, his unit smuggled 3,000 Jews to neutral Sweden through enemy held territory before the war ended.            After the war, Kel and his brother Jorgen Jorgensen started a death defying circus act involving spinning around 75 feet in th...

Boating; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee!

Image
  In response to a recent blog/column, I received a picture of the new 'Corazon Frisbee', the one year old queen of Cap'n Manny Lee's Marshall sloop sailboat named after her ; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee are living large in the Florida Keys @ Bone Island Bob's private marina in Islamorada, Florida, mile marker 74.5. Private Charters aboard his boat from one to five passengers. Throwing the Frisbee for 'Sweetie Corazon' is no charge but remember she never quits just like her predecessor. For her birthday she received a new coconut (husk and all) along with a few other treats. The coconut husk is great dental floss. On your way through the Keys stop and say hello to Manny and Corazon. http://www.mannylee.com/index.html CAPTAIN McCLUSKY SAILING CHARTERS | 74540 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, FL 33036 | 281-508-7174

Remembering The Split Rail Restaurant?

Image
Does Anyone Else Remember The Split Rail Restaurant? It was once a favorite place for beach ppl for breakfast and lunch. Us younger members of the “Dead End Canal Yacht Club” could pull our small boats up to the rickety dock and have a beer and a few chicken wings in the late afternoon. I'm sure you've guessed that I write of a long ago era before happy hours became the rage. Circa 1990! My wife, Marion and I lived at the Boardwalk Caper which was a boater's paradise but not on the DEC. We ate breakfast often at the Split Rail and I attribute much of my heart problems to those delicious heart cloggers. Me, myself and I ate there three mornings a week for a solid 15 years because my office was on the beach. I'm not sure how many Greek immigrants began washing dishes so they could learn to bus tables then run the fryer and fry the eggs before becoming the owner but I remember a half dozen. It used to be a great way to chain migrate to America but all good...
