Ostriches, Camels, and a Fiesta

As much as I need to get to part III of my Florida hijinks, this weekend had some serious badassery that I must first address. Friday I went over to the gays, where we made homo punch (cherry limeade, sprite, lots o vodka, and maraschino cherries) that resulted in a quest for cherries later that night. I can honestly say it was the first time I ever went into a liquor store and did not buy any alcoholic beverages. Later, when the fount of homo punch ran dry, we busted into the cheap champagne, and even convinced the Jimmy John’s bicycle delivery guy to drink a glass quick.

Somehow we ended up at Brother’s, which is a club/bar, but more of a club than a bar. Not knowing I’d be going out, I was wearing a sublime shirt and jeans, which had me looking like a hippy. Timmy was rockin’ the 70’s porn start look, complete with chops and “my name is earl” mustache. When we were dancing I heard someone remark “OHhh shiiiitttt, HIPPY GIRL CAN DANCE!”

Saturday Leslie and Skoalface had their annual fiesta. They had a kickass party favor, a beaded necklace with a shot glass on it. Joep was sitting next to the keg and kept filling up his little cup. We played boozy-badminton, which required us to keep holding onto our margaritas AT ALL TIMES. Landon and I left early, and because his date was cut short (he showed up 25 min. late, with hickeys from Fri’s date, and already drunk), he came with me to Chammps to watch MMA affliction, but I was too drunk to try to get jello wrestling scheduled with the midget bartender.

Sunday #skark went to Canterbury, which in the epitome of awesomeness was hosting Ostrich and Camel races instead of just the usual horsies. Ostrich races were fail (they ended so quickly.. it was like the premature ejaculation of racing), but camel races made up for them. We had some side betting going on after we saw two different chicks wearing tacky sequin purses as to if we would see a third. Instead of just seeing a third, we saw two more. No accounting for taste I guess. I busted ass from a wet spot on the floor inside, but like a pro managed to keep my drink upright and not spill the entirety of it. I still wish we had been able to steal ostriches and race them down Hiawatha ave against the light rail.

Camel? racing?

WTF did you take a side trip to Dubai?

Warped Mind of Ron said...

Heck from the title I expected to see a little camel toe at least :)

Tink said...

I seriously need to take a vacation in your world for awhile. Camel races?! Too freakin cool.

Ann said...

Sounds like fun! I think I need to hang out with you some weekend!

Mike said...

For some reason, whenever you mention the gays and their homo apparel and product, it cracks me up.

I don't know why.

Just to clarify, not in a bigoted way, ok? Don't send the gay community to straight bash me.

Ha!

No single person should have that much fun!

This may be the only post in the history of mankind that successfully combines homos, John Deere tractors, camel races, and my name is Earl mustaches.

The only thing missing is butt plugs.

Where are the butt plugs?

FreeOscar said...

I was hoping there was some camel toe in this post.

Camels and ostriches (ostrichi) look evil to me.

I'm having bad dreams tonight. Thanks!

Flordia, is that still part of the US? Or has it been annexed by Cuba?

Even though I'm a lesbian who refuses to carry a PURSE...I am still trying to figure out those tacky, sparkly thingeys...WHY, for the love of Jeebus, would you want one of those??!!

Same goes with this big purse fetish out here in SD (I don't know if this phenomenon is happening anywhere else, but if it is, god help you)?? I remember my grandmother carrying one of those!!!
