There exist many a-holes in the world, some of which are tolerable, others who just need to be tied in a sack and thrown in the river with a few cinderblocks.
One such moron, an ex-employee who got fired for being talentless, egotistical and arrogant (a bad combination) decided to take out his frustrations on his failed life by leaving a nasty (laughable!) little drunken comment on one of my blogs. Mind you, this imbecile asserted that he was a 'writer', but you wouldn't know it from his lack of grammar skills, amount of typos within, and all-around ineffectiveness of his post (and come to think of it, his work!)
I feel sorry for people like this. He's failed at his marriage, failed as a father, failed in his career and all-around failed in life. As he approaches 60, it must be hell for him to realize his lifetime was a complete waste. I supposed he believed it would make him feel better to attack me, randomly, well over a year since he got fired and I last reprimanded him, on my blog. I suppose he is mostly jealous that I, many years younger than him, have accomplished so much more. C'est La Vie.
(You may be thinking, "If he's writing about this, it must have gotten under his skin". Well, the only thing that got under my skin was that this jackass was way too chicken to ever say any of his rant to me in person; he chose to be sneaky (that is his way, always has been) and tried to humiliate me on a public forum, instead of man to man (or man to weasel, in his case). I guess he was too stupid to realize I was easily able to delete his rant and block him from commenting again.)

Tiki Culture in America
A lot of people have been asking me questions about Tiki Culture in America (As if I were some sort of expert on the subject, just because I'm the author of Tiki Lounge Talk). Well, I don't report to be an expert on anything, but I do know my way around a Mai Tai. So, my newest project is to add a page to TLT explaining what Tiki Culture is to those who've not yet been fortunate enough to live it.
I've done a decent amount of research on the subject, much of it being behind my Tiki Bar researching rums. It's not going to be a long history of Tiki, just the major points along the way, something about its heyday, and of course the resurgence and what it means today.
Look for the new page on Tiki Lounge Talk early next week.

Green Tacos for St. Patty's Day
We did the corned beef and cabbage thing on Saturday - went to the Irish Festival in Ft Lauderdale. It was fun, watched part of the parade (saw a nice Packard), had some good food, and I think every Irish person in South Florida was there. I never saw so many light-skinned blondes and red-heads in one place, in South Florida!
So tonight we had the traditional SoFl green tacos, green refried beans and fried mexicorn. Food coloring is a wonderful thing.
Last night I decided that is was time the world learned the TRUTH about St. Patrick. So I set down the history of St. Patty's day, and why we celebrate. Find out all about it at http://tikiloungetalk.com!

Stupid cold weather
When I moved to Florida in 2000, it was to escape the cold. I hate cold. I don't particularly like snow. I like palm trees and a warm sun.
For the last 9 winters, Fort Lauderdale has been beautiful. The excessive heat of summer stops around September, and it's beautifully temperate through May. Only an occasional two or three day cold snap (40's) has interrupted that.
It seems this winter has been chilly since December. By chilly I mean 60s, so most of the rest of the country is saying "oh poor you". But seriously, 60° is too cold to work on the hot rod, or sit outside and enjoy a drink at the Tiki Bar.
I am officially ordering Mother Nature to wise up and warm things up. After all, my taxes pay her salary. So get on the ball, Mama. I expect 70s by tomorrow or there's going to be trouble.
