I just noticed that this site now has Daily Horoscopes. Nice addition. |
|
The reason that immigrants are so looked down
upon is because they are the lowest rung of the ladder. People don't
emigrate because they are rich or successful. It's usually out of
desperation. We see them here as losers when in reality they never even had
a chance at winning. They didn't have anything to lose in the first place
plus they didn't have any opportunity to climb that ladder. They just don't
know any better. |
Attention Harley riders:
NASCAR, bowling, smoking, fighting, country music and big hair. Did I
leave anything out?
|
| To more bigotry:
It seems like you think all blacks are the same.
What you said about the riots is true, but if
you really believe that the Blacks that followed Dr.
King were the ones rioting than you
got your head up your butt. Kind of
a bit of bigotry. Wouldn't
you say? |
| To the person who referred to us as "one
human family", it is a beautiful thought. We all live on this planet and
should try to help each other and get along, but there are many people I
would never want to call "family"-yikes! Maybe "one human
neighborhood" would be a better saying. |
|
As far as all the talk of the No Name
Pub, I can only say that I brought my family to Big Pine
over New Years this year and we had several locals that we met tell us
that we had to go to the Pub. So
of course we did and LOVED IT. We actually ate there a couple of times.
The service was good (average), The pizza was great and the atmosphere
was awesome and the price wasn't
bad at all. I think we enjoyed a pizza dinner with an appetizer for less
than twenty bucks. Not bad for a family of four. Again, We Loved It.
As for how the management and employees treat the locals, I
can't comment on that although I wish I
could! If anyone has any suggestions how a normal middle class
family can relocate to Big Pine please post. Big Pine and the lower Keys
are truly paradise.

 You know,
it totally flips me out that DNA works for some people and not for others.
Are there any other people that watched the OJ Simpson
trial that DNA did not work for him, meaning that there was blood
everywhere and he was not charged,
but currently, DNA means everything!
How does that work? Meaning
the BTK killings. Is it the lawyers? Is
it black and white? I want to
know. How does it work for some
and not for others? When I was a
kid in school, DNA was it. Blood
rules. Now that there are lawyers
involved, "Someone
else did it."
|
| I used to work at Rob's and yes, he is an
ass, but his restaurant is still the best and cleanest in
Big Pine. If you don't like him that's ok, but I can say from experience
that the food and the service are top notch. House of Music has a chance to
be a top destination, but really, get rid of the power drinkers and
crackheads. Families won't come to a place like that. They go to Rob's |

2 For $20 Pizza
now has pizza-by-the-slice.
At last! It’s good too. By the
way, I don’t own the place, work in it or for it or been fired from it.
Anything else I forgot to mention. Oh yes, I’m just a satisfied customer.
They’ve worked hard to rekindle the good name of 2 For $20 Pizza and it
seems to have worked. The owners are awesome and very respectful of their
business neighbors. Mike is a great manager
and all the other staff are kind, respectful, good at their job, very clean
and have great senses of humor – I LIKE THAT. Kudos to you all. |

That guy that hates Japanese
bikes and claims his uncle terry was bayoneted in the buttocks must be
from New Jersey. I bet he's got a
big fat belly, chain smokes and always has to talk real loud so everyone
knows how impotent he is. Now that I think about it, there could be a
heifer just made for him at Boondocks.

I was sitting in a bar on Big Pine and heard this guy saying his was so
big ten crows could stand on it. He added that he didn't
like to exaggerate; the last crow had to stand on one leg.

Today, Sunday a
gala benefit at the Key Deer Bar
and Grill from 1pm till 6 pm.
It's for Jeff Segallos
who was a back country guide until
he was severally injured last year and is just now getting back on his feet.
Come on out and meet Jeff.
Enjoy the live music, the great food, raffles, silent auction, noisy,
as in Steve Miller
auction. It's today.
Feb 27th. See you there.
Thank you, Capt. Dan.

People sleeping at our bar? Owners being arrested? Why
would you say these things? Are you looking to hurt us? Are you a
competitor? I think we want to be your neighbor.
We love Big Pine Key & are trying hard to do our best, but things are
going to happen as we go & how we deal with them is what matters. Sorry,
just venting after reading negativity.

 The
Scotty's Crack Head was out again today, and what new tricks he
has learned. He must have learned this in the seminar last week on how to
piss people off to the extent that they want to stop what they are doing
just to come back and kick him in the nuts. This is how it went:
I drive a car for work. I was driving through Big Pine today, got close to
Scotty's and what do I see? The crack head hiding behind his little sign
then stepping over the white shoulder line and pointing at Scotty's. Ok,
first off, I can read the sign...no need to point at Scotty's for me to
understand. Secondly, I'd rather
walk to Home Depot than drive to Scotty's. So as I get closer I see him
hide behind the sign when I was approaching, as I got closer he jumps out
to the point where I'd have to
swerve into the other lane to avoid hitting him. Of
course I do not honor stupidity, so instead or swerving away I honked and
drove on the white line. He did not take this too well, he threw his hands
up in a fuss like I was wrong. I
might have even got the bird flipped at me. I really do hope he gets hit
next weekend. I'd laugh and thank
god for removing another piece of trash-crack-head
from Big Pine. If anyone feels that I'm a bad person for what I've said,
go stand next to this guy. He's
the really active bum sign holder and Ill see you Saturday!

 About
the No Name Pub. Linda started
working there when Royal sold it to Will
& Cynthia. He
wanted them to get off to a good start and knew Linda
had a good following and would fit in well. I
was so glad that Will & Cyn
didn't change the atmosphere, but
with the noise ordinance and other Moron
county rules, things changed. No
more outside music or benefits for people in need with volunteers doing all
the work. OZ tending bar with his top hat on in the Tiki bar that was given
to the pub by the people who made that Goldie Hawn movie, she even came to a
benefit. The little motel rooms
could not be re-modeled to make them livable. Most
of the people who lived in them, trashed them as did RoyBoy
when he was there. And then there
was zero tolerance. I, too,
only go to the Pub once in a while,
and that is to see Linda. Royal did
not build the pub, he turned it into a pizza place, along with help from Pete Angelloti. |

How many of those

 One
incredible intellect says, and I quote,
"If you haven't been arrested your a lily livered nerd and probably are
still sucking from your mommy's nipple." Makes me wonder if the library
will EVER require a physical address other than "third mangrove from the
bridge" to access the internet. Just another bum upset about being caught
with an open container.
So here's a guy getting hassled about a beer while we all
know so many arrested on way more serious "possession with intent " or
straight up dealing either prescription or nonprescription drug charges.
The later are quite often already stealing from friends and family,
but are released after giving up someone up the chain.
Meanwhile, this "outed" scum now turns to unknown victims and spreads his
charms further. Probation is the biggest joke of all in Monroe County and
don't get me started about drug court. I think the rule in Monroe is you
have to fail 20 pee tests if you're over 45 or sick or disabled.
Throw a cigarette butt out your window and you'll find out
there's no way to "give up" the butt dealer so you will serve a complete
sentence. Have twenty grams of heroin on you, no registration or tag or
license and you're out tomorrow if you have a name to offer.
Check out the sheriffs'
website sometime and search the courts'
dispositions of serious drug cases. It's fun to see if you can find the
exact day the defendant spilled their guts and had all charges dropped or
reversed. Now they're back out on the street with a window of mischief
immunity! To bad for you and me.
Back to the intellect, most of us have never been arrested
for anything and we too have a name for you that have. In this county we
just aren't sure what it takes to keep you in jail!

All this talk about Harleys

 To
the person looking for a good house painter. Go
to the Big Pine Coffee Shop
in the mornings around 6 o'clock and ask for little Tony. He's
the best, most reliable
painter around. Ask anyone on Big Pine. I
am one of his very satisfied customers
and friend. He painted our home
and it still looks perfect after 5 years.

I saw the Skunk Ape
one night outside of Boondocks. She was smoking a cigarette, sucking down
a beer, and sitting on her Harley. She seems to fit right in with the
"brotherhood" of Harley riders, only with a touch more class.

Re:
mature thoughts.
If these are your mature thoughts
you could probably use a reality check.
This is an obvious example of the mentality of some people. Pride
in being arrested, bully cops
picking on you for no reason. Please
share some immature thoughts with us. We
all could use another good laugh.

| The foreign trade agreements
allow Japan and China to ship everything from toothpicks to cars to the USA.
Not buying their products says more than anything one could write. Sure, the
Ford autos suck, but Chevy is great. Who would want a little 4 cylinder
barely-go car made in Japan? Your face is practically laid up on the
windshield as you sit in one of those tin cans. Try surviving a crash in
those little cars, after all, it's only your life. How much you value your
life shows by what you drive. |
 More
bigotry: When Michael Luther King (he never legally changed it to
Martin) was shot, the blacks rioted. There was no peaceful demonstration at
all. Blacks rioted, burned down and destroyed much of downtown
Atlanta--their own neighborhoods--real smart.
When Rodney King was shown on tape to be beaten by police the same thing
happened. The blacks in L.A. tore down and burned their own neighborhoods
and businesses. Blacks pulled whites from their vehicles to beat them. What
did those whites have to do with the police? Nothing. It just shows how
stupidity is bred generation after generation. No peaceful demonstrations,
get the facts straight. And then there was the OJ jury. Stupid, stupid,
stupid. |
 I know for a
fact that one of the owners of House of Music got his house raided
by the DEA. So it might have been gossip to say he was arrested,
but really is it that different? Clean up your act! |
|
The fellow who keeps writing the comments slamming the Japanese
has got to be a dickweed, not to mention a mentally-challenged bigot. He
probably is one of those people who stays home all the time looking up
whippin' sites on the computer and beating his d**k
like it owes him money.

 Own a
Harley once and you'll own Harley's forever. You might jump on an
old Norton or Triumph as a second bike if you find a great deal,
but you'll cruise on the Harley. The '84 Sturgis premiered Wille G's
Evolution engine and it's Kevlar belt drive. In '85 Harley Davidson made
the Evolution and Kevlar standard AND went public. Harley stock opened at
$10.00 and the gain and splits since have been dramatic. No country has
built a Big V-Twin motorcycle
engine more dependable than Harley's for twenty years. One country in
particular has tried everything possible to copy the Harley look, feel and
sound without success. All you young people interested in comparing an
"old" Harley's reliability should first research what one of those
restored knucklehead's or Panhead's would set you back in your allowance.
It's the ride you experience on a Harley. In 2005 Japan
operates production facilities employing hundreds of thousands of union
workers in the US. Forget the past, Japan is also one of the few countries
supporting the US with a presence in Iraq. No motorcycle runs on rice just
as no motorcycle will ever compare to the Harley Davidson!

 Disparaging
Martin Luther King. Friday's writer credits King with only starting riots
and Lincoln with freeing the slaves. It's a shame that all people don't
realize that King risked his life, and ultimately lost it, in the process of
peaceful demonstration. Any riots that took place around him were
caused by hate-filled white men and white police that wouldn't allow
peaceful demonstrations. Civil rights are only important if you don't have
any. The Blacks of that time didn't have any! Can you imagine that?
As far as Lincoln; yes, he freed the slaves, but that is not the reason he
went to war with the south. (it was an afterthought) He went to war to
preserve the union. It wasn't until about the second year of the war that he
realized the union couldn't survive with slavery. Whenever bigots write
their self-serving facts they always note that they're not prejudiced. "Some
of my best friends are white." |

Regarding the posting about one of the band members from

I seen the Skunk Ape
last night at the Boondocks
and he had an English accent, but
boy can he dance!
|
 I can't believe
the stupidity and ignorance of some people who post here. Friday's posts
were classic examples of what's come out of poor parenting and Florida
public schools:
For the prejudiced person who wrote the remarks about Presidents Day and
Martin Luther King--go back to school. On the way get
castrated so you can't reproduce. You have no concept of what Dr. Martin
Luther King did for the civil rights of ALL people. While Lincoln freed
slaves, he is remembered for much more. And while George Washington was
truly the father of this country, he is not without his faults. He
purposely chose to ignore the issue of slavery (for good reasons) and he
owned them as well. But like the great man he was, he freed them when he
died.For the comments about Japanese bike
production and Pearl Harbor. We only have ourselves to blame for
Japan's success. We forced Japan to open to the west in the 1850s
and we rebuilt their country after World War II. Their success with
automobiles and motorcycles is due to the fact that we gave them that
industry and they improved on it. The last time I checked, we were a
democracy in a capitalistic system. Americans buy what they want!
Geeze, I wish some people would get off their bar stools, crush out their
cigarettes and pick up a book! |

Jeff Gannon is the Bush administration's
"reporter" who was planted at a recent press conference to bolster the
government's positions. The only thing wrong was that he was not a reporter
and Jeff Gannon is not his real name. These reporters have a secret
clearance that is only issued after an extensive background check by the
FBI. This is necessary because of their close proximity to the President.
His real name is James Guckert and he is a male prostitute who even has his
own website.
No news media finds this story worthy of mention except
on the web. If this story would have happened during the Clinton presidency
the main stream media would be screaming bloody hell. What a bunch of
hypocrites. |
I'm trying to get estimates for painting the exterior of my house.
Of the two contractors in your business listing under painting, one phone

The person accusing Rob of Rob's of writing in the good comments
on his restaurant is obviously a complete ass. I do not work for
Rob's and do not know him in any way besides saying a quick hello when I
eat there. However, I do eat there several times a week and it is great.
His food is good. His servers are top notch. His restaurant is clean.
The customers are of a good nature. People in here accuse Rob of being
arrogant. That is very incorrect. I can't count how many times I have
seen Rob personally bussing a dirty table, cleaning the bathroom or taking
out the trash. An arrogant business owner would order an employee to do
that. Rob has built up the best restaurant in Big Pine Key and has a
right to be proud of that. If someone views that as arrogance, I am glad
that person doesn't go to Rob's. I would not want to eat my lunch in the
company of someone that ignorant.

To the stellar individual
who thinks Harleys are over priced billboards, you should
get your facts straight. As far as Harleys being over priced;
have you checked on the price of a new Goldwing lately? Oh, and by the way,
about a year after you buy that brand new Goldwing, it will be worth about
half of what you paid for it. My 1986 Harley Davidson FXRS Lowrider, (
that's right ladies), bought brand new for $8,500.00. Last
year the retail value on it was around $7,000.00.
Not bad for being 19 years old. Rice burners may be faster,
but the only reason you're
even watching me in your mirrors is because you're so ate up with envy. When
you dump your rice rocket going 80 MPH through a turn don't worry, I'll stop
and help you out, because that's the way the brotherhood is. |
Dear Sir, My wife and I have divorced and in the divorce settlement, she

Harleys versus other bikes. I have ridden
both, and NOTHING compares to the ride you get on a Harley. It all
depends on what you want out of your ride. If
you want to cruise with raw power under you, get a Harley. If you want to
go really fast and sound like a buzz saw, get one of the other bikes.
Like the t-shirt says, "If you have to ask, then you won't understand."

 Some mature
thought: So what if someone from the H.O.M.
was arrested. Being arrested is as American
as mom and apple pie. It's
big business here in the keys. They get money for every inmate every day.
There are so many laws that you could be arrested any time they like. Cops
are bullies and love slapping the cuffs on anyone that shows independence
in the smallest way. So, If you haven't
been arrested you are probably a boring lily-livered
nerd that kisses butt and is still guzzling from mommies nipple.

Go back to the Phuket Gazette (Friday's
posting) and read the story that follows the nose job. Left me
speechless, but laughing!

 I'd like
to respond to the post that likened owning a Japanese motorcycle to
condoning Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, in today's world economy, such a
short sighted view doesn't crack it in the real world. I love America, and
if we produced a bike over here that could offer the same performance,
reliability, and price, then I would gladly buy domestic. With the
exception of Buells (which are nice, but overpriced), the US just hasn't
kept up, either on two wheels, or four. You don't think the Eastern
automakers are reverse-engineering the Pontiac G6 to produce the next Camry
or Accord, do you?
As far as the remarks about being a traitor, I suggest you do your homework
first. But not on a computer, because guess where most of those parts are
made? Maybe flip on the TV, grab your cell phone, or pop something in the
microwave - whoops, those are made overseas too! Hell, look at the tag in
your shirt right now, I'll bet dollars to donuts it wasn't made in the good
ol' US of A.
It's not that I'm anti-American, very much to the contrary, but before you
go slinging arrows at anonymous entities on the internet, you may want to
examine your argument, and try to be a little more informed when it comes to
real-world politics, not just antiquated rhetoric. |
This is the female Harley artist. I choose the kind of art
I do because I enjoy painting quality. I'm not interested in increasing my
workload by painting foreign imitation bikes. I have a reputation to uphold!
Ha, ha, ha.
Elvis had a Harley, my dad had a Harley and my man has a Harley. These are
all REAL men. I do artwork OF the bikes, not ON the bikes (not yet anyway).
The earliest bike in my art collection is a 1919 Board Track Racer. Harleys
are forever. Every time I hear a Harley, it puts a smile on my face. Ride to
live, live to ride. |

I am one of the supporters of Rob's and I eat there

 I keep reading
about the jerks writing about the so called "Heifers" at Boondocks.
That person needs to grow up and get a life. Accept people for who they are
and you might get dates yourself. Otherwise, you can fall in love with your
hand. I have been to Boondocks many times and met some great people there.
These ladies there are just out to have a drink, dance and have a good time
among friends. I would pick them over the bar trash you see at the other
Big Pine dumps. Any of you so called "Heifers" want to meet for a drink
I'll see you at Boondocks any time. Better yet, email me at

and we can plan a drink somewhere. I challenge any of you jerks who insult
these women to write-in insulting them and put your email address on here.

 Green Cove Springs,
Fla. (AP) -- County school officials are backing a principal's
decision to bar a picture of a lesbian student dressed in a tuxedo from
the high school yearbook. Sam Ward, principal of Fleming Island High
School, said he pulled the senior class picture because Kelli Davis was
wearing boy's clothes.
OMG, a girl wearing "boys' clothes" in a high school
yearbook! What is the world
coming to? Oh, by the way, if it was the adult
principal and not the media who very publicly labeled
this minor a lesbian, then that school system should get rid of him. It
cannot be part of his job to "out" a minor. This headline is not just
another one-time, mainland Florida story. As recently as 1998 the
Marathon office of the nationally known investment firm, Raymond James &
Assoc., enforced a dress code policy prohibiting female employees from
wearing pants, slacks, trousers, etc. (the dreaded "boy's"
clothes). Say what you want about Florida weather and waters, it
appears the state is still not ready for the 21st century.

 I agree
with the anti-Japanese bike
statement. My uncle, Terry,
was in the Philippines in World War II
and one of those Japs bayoneted
him in the ass while he was laying on the ground puking. He could never
sit right after that. After
that had to keep one hand under a cheek while sitting on the john. So he
never had a healthy dump from then on which
made him irritable and hard to be around. Every time I hear one of those
little bikes, "eeeeeeeeee"
by it reminds me of his sorry life. Yes, those Jap bikes are a
pain in the ass.

ball cap. I guess it's
due to his recent health
situation. I did not recognize him
until he got up and walked. It was definitely H. Only he walks
like that. I would say there will be more sightings.

Thursday's Skunk Ape sighting story was good. I like
those little tales that are printed here from time to time. I remember that
foundation; it was actually a cistern that was below the keeper's house for
the Miami to No Name Key Ferry. There used to be a ferry dock there
also. |
 In the film
"The Wild One" the bike Brando rode was NOT a Harley, it was a
Triumph Thunderbird, as much of the "Gang" rode . The rest rode
mostly Harley and Indian Bikes. Watch the movie, get facts right before
putting foot in mouth. Of course, what do I know ? I've only been riding
, racing , and in the motorcycle
Industry since 1963.

Bobert moved up to northern Fl.

I clearly recognize the writing style of the
guy who keeps writing two-liners about what a great place Robs is. It's the
short advertising propaganda intended for the mindless herd that's a dead
give. It's clearly from Rob himself. The comment that he
would not eat anywhere else further diminishes credulity and authenticity. I
have yet to see a post that differs in length, style and content--and that
actually has anything significantly convincing to say.
(Ed: Pardon me for intruding on your crusade, but you're wrong on all
counts.) |

I'd rather party with a bunch of heifers (your word not
mine) than a bunch of nobody.
Take a drive to all the
local bars about 8-9 p.m. on a Friday night and you tell me where all the
people are. This might be
a clue to the writer of these remarks,
you're probably the owner of
H.O.M. or you have been turned down by one of those heifers,
or both.
P.S. It takes less people to fill your bar if they are heifers!
|
 To the Ohio
tourists who directed their post to No Name. You are absolutely right. But
their business strategy is not to develop a strong customer base, whether
local or mixed, by providing good food and service, but to make quick
high-profit turnover on customers who are not expected to ever return by
consistently increasing per-person checks and cutting costs and quality. The
end result is expensive lousy food--otherwise known as a 'tourist
trap'. Tourist traps don't cater to locals because the locals would
complain and threaten to never return. But tourist traps don't care if you
ever come back--just spend big money once. Unfortunately, a once favorite
locals' spot, known for its laid-back, Keysey atmosphere and good food--No
Name Pub, is now a tourist trap along with Robs and now Parrotdise. Here's
how to detect a tourist trap: an over-abundance of cheap kitsch for sale, a
name with a silly play on words, a high price tag on simple, common food,
fish that's advertised as fresh local catch, but is really tilapia and a
server overly eager to get the drink order.

I have with the space shuttle, or you wouldn't be talking

I remember the RoyBoy days of the pub. It was a classic Big
Pine hang out long before that. I
agree that Royal's days were the beginning of the end of the good times
there. All I can think of when I think of Royal is his drunken saying of
"Oh my goodness" Another long lost place with rich history was the
Mariner. What fun it was to go hang out there on Sundays and have
cocktails and lunch by the pool.
That was a blast. The place was always filled with a variety of local
color and everything from young single people to families.

Heifers need love too. They are better at it, because they don't

the guy with dreadlocks that's been hanging out in front of classic carpet

 Re: What

consolidate them. Presidents Day
is important, because in my opinion ,
they were the two greatest presidents of all time. ( Lincoln freed the
blacks from slavery, remember) and Washington prevented us from being a
colony of the English. Do not
think I am prejudice, the black idiots that created all th ose
black things are more prejudice

 Just so that you
know, Marlon Brando did NOT ride a Harley in the film "The Wild One". He
rode one of those "foreign" bikes...a 1950 Triumph Thunderbird 6T.
It was his personal bike. Brando probably is responsible for casting the
image of a Harley rider but he didn't ride one. He did buy one later on in
life. |

the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Arrest Log.
He is not with the Sheriff's office or any other law
enforcement agency.
This is from his site:
This site has more advanced search features than the M.C.S.O. site and
its intent is to provide quick access to alleged criminal activity in the
local community. The owner and publisher of this web site is in no way
affiliated with or endorsed by any law enforcement agency and has no
access to any data (public or private) that is not available freely on the

I was wondering if anyone knew the local ordinances involving
outdoor fireplaces. I think it would be cool to sit outside and
have a nice little fire in one of those metal boxes they sell. |
|
I think it was the late '70's when a couple ran the
No Name Pub. Her name was Billie and I forgot his name. It was
definitely a locals bar at that time. I remember he drove a Monte Carlo
because he claimed it was non-descript and had the largest trunk in the
world. He used the capacious trunk to transport bales to America. The bar
was just a diversion for him. The motel rooms were still being used in those
days. They were mostly filled with dirt bags and losers. |
 I once saw
the Skunk Ape. Back in '86
at about the age of
10, I was fishing the No
Name Bridge (where you used to be
able to catch some really nice snapper). A
pal and myself took a little ride
to the far end of No Name on our bikes. When we reached the end of the
road we ventured into the woods to the left of the road. (Hey, this is
what Pinner Kids do other than hang out in Winn Dixie.) There about 75
yards or so in the woods we saw
what looked to be a poured foundation of a house. Upon
further inspection of the structure we came across a face carved in the
side of the concrete. At that
moment we heard a wild growl coming from inside the structure and all of a
sudden there it was. "Skunk Ape!"
yelled my buddy, Jack. We
bolted to our bikes and did not stop peddling until
we hit Hawk lane. The Skunk Ape
kind of resembled a very large Leamur
with an almost turtle neck looking tuft of hair growing up out of its
neck. Come to find out, as we
returned to the scene with Jacks father (BB
guns in hand) we must have woken
the beast from its slumber and found it was feasting on a lobster
and stone crab it had stolen from some trap it had pulled to shore. Don't
you wonder what happens to the Key Deer
that get hit by cars?

After responding to the Harley art lady, I
now realize she was probably responding to the idiot from the day before.
To her, I somewhat apologize. To the idiot talking about the future of
motorcycles, the Harley craze started in 1903 and will out
last any and all motorcycles. You certainly don't see any 30 year
old foreign bikes running around, or 20 year old bikes,
for that matter.

 As a local,
I've lived in the Keys for 12 years. I've been in every Bar and Restaurant,
from the 7 mile bridge to Key Weird. If I don't like a place, I don't go
back. It's as simple as that. But I do have to give credit where
credit is do, and I apologize to the other locals for giving up one of our
favorite Restaurants. The best hideaway in the Keys is the Galley
Grill in Summerland Key. All the credit goes to Nancy and Nancy. They
run a tight ship for that Galley
Grill. |

I have noticed too many times the "bait and switch"
tactics put out by new restaurants. Rob's and Parrotdice are two prime
examples. When Rob's first opened, the food was great, with large
portions and decent prices. One of my favorite meals was the Seafood
Marinara. You could order a half
order or full order. I always ordered a full order, because it was just a
few bucks more than the half order and had lots of leftovers. It was a
HUGE plate full. The last two times I ordered it, I had to ask the server
if she made a mistake and ordered the half order, because it was literally
half the portions from previous meals! I would hate to see what the half
order looks like now; and the
quality of the food has gone down too. I've got other friends who've
noticed the same thing. I just know that I won't be going back.
The same with Parrotdice. It's obvious that these places are
catering to the visitors because they won' t notice the differences like
the locals would.
|
 I ride one of
those Japanese bikes, although it looks like an
English cafe racer, and doesn't sound like a sewing machine on meth.
I believe that all bikers are basically cut from the same cloth, whether or
not we're hardcore, bearded Harley riders, CPAs, or punk kids looking for a
thrill. I try to remember that it's not WHAT you ride, it's THAT you
ride. Just remember to wave to your fellow two-wheeled brethren. |

How does the person who keeps insulting the ladies at Boondocks
and calling them heifers know where they hang out? If it is that bad to
look at them then why do you go there? I would much rather date a girl

as dumb as Pam Anderson. I have been going to Boondocks just to see the
women who are being insulted on this page and have met some great ladies.

Telephone Tricks. First off, you can have yourself a
published telephone number AND a non-published address if requested. I
don't want just anybody to know my 10/20, that's privileged information
and I am always amazed how many high-profile people actually publish their
home addresses. Secondly, dial up
www.switchboard.com and go to search by telephone numbers and BINGO
there's someone's home base location. If someone is calling you and has
been living in voice mail land without a return call for a few weeks and
just doesn't get it, then you may place that person on your select
call-forwarding list which can forward the unwanted call to another number
(any) which has been disconnected and the idiot thinks you're out of
business! Thank you and drink responsibly. Plus, the dog outside would
enjoy a few toys and a walk around the block more often.

|
In Japan, not only do they make great motorcycles, but their cell phones
are also television sets. |
I have to thank the Harley Rider for her
comments and living up to the image of who I see riding Harley Davidsons.
Yes, you are a brotherhood and sisterhood of unknowing consumers who buy a
label strictly for the name and the noise the bike makes. First of all, I'm
sure those "foreign" bikes you mention are the same ones built here in
America by American workers. The only thing "foreign" about Suzuki, Yamaha
and Kawasaki are the names.
If you're a business woman who does bike work, did you ever think you could
increase your business by putting your stereotypes aside and offering your
talents to the brotherhood and sisterhood of all motorcycle riders?
If you're willing to spend a third more on a motorcycle for name alone, go
for it. I don't see anything superior or different when it comes to design
or craftsmanship. Please give me a good reason besides the label and the
noise a bike makes. |
|
Biker lady. You mention the sound a Harley makes. That's the problem
with them. They are old and rude people who ride them. There is absolutely
no reason to cause such a noise disturbance whenever you start the bike just
so you can say, "Hey look at me, I've got a bike like Marlon Brando had 50
years ago. I must be tough." |
|
Calling all of you that know Bobert. Has any one seen
him about? Did he give it up, what? I need a
chart done bad and he is the best!
|
 To the
person who wrote about not buying a Harley Davidson, its
okay to voice an opinion, however you speak as one who probably never owned
a Harley before. It is more than just a motorcycle, it's a brotherhood.
When you ride you are recognized, even by those who do not know you. You
can ride up to any motorcycle rally, and be accepted by those in
attendance. Riding an "American Made" bike is freedom. Feel free to ride
what you like. I hold no grudges and would ride with you at any time, but
don't put down what you don't understand. |

would take over the U. S.,
they laughed at me, but look at them now . Oh ,
by the way, who makes the Lexus? I n
the mid 80's our cars were crap, but the Japs
woke us up and now we are very close to them, but I
will only buy American . It
makes sense to keep our money here . They
are already buying up the country . By
the way again, do you know that you cannot purchase property in Japan, but
they can buy all our land that they care to.

I'd like to see more political commentary on
this site. Not the cut and paste type quotes, but locals' paraphrasing of
the news; so we can get the local spin on national events. |
 I
seem to remember a group at the No Name Pub, led by Royboy (no
relation to Royal Newman in any way), Clyde the Key Kamel, and a
bunch of true, loyal Piner friends, that from April Fools Day of '86 until
early March of '90, that REALLY made the place "A nice place, if you can
find it." Something rare, fun and as they say "Local-friendly and very
Keysey" and many other good things that it has not been since. Any one who
has lived on Big Pine for more than a short time absolutely knows this to be
true! The only thing Good that Royal Newman ever did for the pub was to sell
it to Will after he evicted Royboy and his friends, Because He and Becky
thought they could do things like Royboy and the gang did, and nobody would
notice the change. He was very wrong. The place started a down slide after
Royboy left that has since turned into another tourist trap sliding ever
deeper in to emptiness. |

How come all bums smoke? Is that the only thing
they can call their own? |

Harley Davidson's are the
real McCoy. Those foreign bikes sound like impotent bees buzzing around.
Only a REAL MAN can ride a Harley, a real woman rides the Sportsters. People
who ride those wimpy foreign bikes must not be able to afford a real bike,
and not strong enough to hold a real bike up. Looking for quality? Look at a
Harley. I always roll my eyes at foreign bikes, what kind of a sissy would
get on one of those things?
I am a female artist who does Harley artwork. If anyone approached me to do
any other bike art, I would laugh in their face. Harley riders have a
certain brotherhood. They are there for each other.

We had lunch at Parrotdice
and were very disappointed. Prices were much higher,
but our sandwiches suffered from a significant drop in size and quality. The
dolphin fillet must have been pounded flat prior to grilling because
underneath the cole slaw and cheese was the measliest, flattest, driest
piece of leather I have ever seen.
 What
happened to those luscious Reubens that used to arrive loaded with thick,
moist pieces of fresh fish and sauerkraut? What happened to the ice-cold
draft beers? If you're looking for consistency and reasonable prices, forget
about eating at Parrotdice, or anywhere between Big Pine Key and Cudjoe. I
don't mind paying more for better food,
but to pay well over ten bucks for food that was no
better when it was at seven bucks is, well, for a lack of a better
word--plain stupid. Not too long ago, Parrotdice was quite good, which is
why we kept going back. But their 'bait and switch' tactics will hurt them
in the long run. We will not go back. Ever wonder why it is that certain
restaurants no longer cater to locals? |

This email is directed to the owner of the No Name Pub. We
are tourists from Ohio who have visited Big Pine Key many times. We were
planning to visit the No Name Pub on our next visit in the spring. However
your reported bad attitude toward local people in Big Pine has probably
changed our minds. Your marketing strategy for your restaurant is exactly
the opposite of what it should be. You see, tourists who are unfamiliar with
the territory seek out restaurants where the local people go.
We figure that these will be the best places. You should encourage local
trade. The tourists will follow. Actually you should not discriminate
against anyone. A dollar is a dollar. |

 Harley Davidson’s
are for people who don’t know much about motorcycles. People who are
followers not leaders. If you want to see the future of biking just look at
the new Yamahas or Hondas or something like
that. I think the Harley craze will be ending soon as they realize that any
jerk with a credit card can own one. It used to be en exclusive club. Now
it's just a bunch of old people who couldn't have one when they were young
and Harleys were groovy. Baaa, baaa black sheep... |
| In response to the writer who attempted to
tie in the iguanas and key deer, etc. with our descent into the hell of
MarcoIsland-dom, I don't get the connection. I agree that we are on a very
slippery slope to becoming the Disney Islands, but to say that the iguanas
were here before I was is complete bunk. If you can't tell that the iguana
population has exploded and is getting out of hand then your head is in the
sand or worse. Perhaps we need some sort of plan where every departing
guest is required to take an iguana with them? Or we could crank up the
First Annual Big Pine Key Iguana Fest. "Tastes like
chicken" |
When is the Lower Keys Miss Heifer Contest
being held at Boondocks? I've
got some old Cheetos I want to
throw at the winner.

To the "man in the wheelchair" picketing All Keys
Appliance. Thank you! We had
similar problems with the jerk who owns it, and I am thankful that you
have chosen to work in the system of this great country to make sure that
your rights as a consumer are fulfilled. We need more people like you who
will to take a stand. Our
system of checks and balances works, if we just use it.

To the boater in trouble.
Have you ever heard of the international sign(s) of trouble on the water?
1. Waving of arms. 2. Orange flag with black dot in it. 3. Flares. 4.
Radio for help and now cell phones. I was out there today and didn't
notice anyone in the water. If I ever see someone in distress I would help
out all I can.
