Joe: there's quite a bit of stuff on Amazon — despite a much-vaunted "5-star rating" — that I'll never buy!

So, what you're saying is — he caught the ball, batted foul into the seats, the right way!

Thanks for your interest, Joe — you've got some mildly amusing stuff there. I'm not a fan of the cartoon artwork, and your self-promotion (you couldn't have said "my book"?) is off-putting, to say the least. Not to mention that it won't lead me to purchase your book. It did get me to click your site, so if that's…

Wow! That exciting, huh? I'm flattered!

Nah. We moved to CT in '99, then VT in '01. I used to miss Tampa quite a bit — lived there '90 to the CT move — but not so much anymore...

If we ever move back to the FL (the wife swears we won't, but IF we DO), then I'll hit you up. The boys' nana/step-grandy — who still live in Dade Shitty — can babysit.

My pain is more pain-y than your pain, coco. I said it. You don't regret it. I know that you don't.

YES!!!

No shit.

Huh? Oh...you mean "brahs"? You threw me, there.

Jackie, wasssupp!? Ol skool UF>PHCC>USF '92 here; Tpa/St.Pete beach/grunge/stoner/dirt rocker sub-class multi-hyphenate "bro." But we were "dudes" then, so yeah, uh...what was I saying?

Somewhat of a glaring oversight, isn't it?

"Lady-bro." THAT'S IT! That's THE TERM!

To uniform add Carhartt, otherwise pretty much spot on (at least here in SE VT/Berkshire area). Hold on — JP who? Bros here have a weird fixation on McConaughey (I know, I know...) or the local oxy dealer.

Yeah Jackie, I was just about to attempt a reply. Your descrip smacked it out of the park ("perfect storm," heh). Almost nostalgic. Almost.

Native Floriduhian now in VT (hold your jokes) and when I saw that "Chicago bros play cornhole in the street" I 1) did an actual spit-take and 2) immediately felt misled regarding popular cultural conceptions of Chicago, bros, and cornholes. Also, The Weiner's Circle.

Hmmmmmm, April Fool's.

Boobed, Pooed, and Tatooed?

Just the IDEA of that question is fucking hilarious.

Ohhhhhhhhhh suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure it is. Ha!
