*Mermaid show at the Polynesian Room, Yankee Clipper Hotel, Ft Lauderdale.

I enjoyed the show but cannot in good conscious put it in my Tiki bar top 10, thanks to the dipshit DJ spinning Pitbull and whatnot. Tiki bar music should be lilting Hawaiian guitars & Martin Denny
please do not reply about the NY Times Tiki article, I already vented my spleen about that yesterday
I have often cited the Mai Kai as the undisputed #1 top Tiki bar on planet Earth, and I have been a frequent patron going back to the 1990s
Same camera roll later that night. When I assume room temperature, scatter my ashes at the Mai Kai ImageImageImageImage

prepping for today's #DavesCarIDService I saw this neato pic from the always wonderful @TracesofTexas (forwarded by @DruncleWill) leading down a weird historical rabbit hole. First, I can say the truck here is a 1910-15 Universal. Next, the rabbit hole.
Confession: even in my advanced age and state of automotive OCD, I had previously never heard of Universal Motor Trucks. But here it's conveniently labeled as such on the truck's chassis. So I decided to dig for more info.
Warning: this will be a long thread about obscure industrialists from more than 100 years ago that ultimately has no moral, other than stuff is more connected than you think. If that is tedious to you, you might as well mute this thread now.

Dave’s homemade Christmas ice cream flavors for 2020: Brach peppermint and bourbon & Heath toffee Image
*the bourbon & Heath toffee doesn't have actually Heath bars or any kind of chocolate in it, just the toffee bits. Image
For full sized ice cream maker: 3 cups sugar + 4 cups whole milk + 4 cups heavy whipping cream + 2 tbsp vanilla + pat of butter + shot or 2 of bourbon. Mix over low heat then cool. Churn until semi firm, add pack of Heath toffee bits, churn until done

Oh for the love of Lono, go eat shit and let me have my puu-puu in peace

The only thing that needs to be "repaired" here is your fucking brain
As a long time adherent, enthusiast, and promoter of America's great vintage Tiki bars, this is the hill on which I will die. But let's face it, these people don't just hate Tiki, they want to wipe out ever last form of harmless escapism.

Santa Dave is on the way to stuff your stockings with some last minute gifts from #DavesCarIDService
yessir, Pops & friends were piling on a 1938 Chevy heavy duty truck (1 ton or higher).
needed to research this one a bit; what you have there is a VW Type 2 utility truck, and if really diesel it's a 1981-85, and picture is almost certainly in Brazil. The earlier air cooled versions of these are very collectible.

Personally I support the banning of all new federal buildings in any architectural style
In case of a real need, I guess I'm OK with Quonset huts or tin roof cinderblock hovels
but there'd better not be any damn windows in 'em, we taxpayers aren't made out of money

Every single bit as unconstitutional as an anti-flag burning law.
There used to be this thing called the ACLU, but they're busy with other stuff these days
This puts it in a different light. If all this means is that the State of New York has to remodel all of its museum gift shops to remove the Confederate paraphernalia aisles, I guess that's their business
