Charles,
I was lucky to even make it to the meet that day, considering what me and edmel did the night before......
A story that edmel won't tell you....
Ed and me had spent the night with a couple chicks out on the sand in Clearwater Beach............shot gunning Monster Energy Drinks with Vodka chasers. He had picked up the babes over in Countryside Mall.......
I told him, Man these chicks don't have any tits!, but Ed said that any female who could wear patent leather heels with her cutoffs was old enough to date guys who drive Hondas....that it was a Florida Law......and since Ed had said that he was going to law school, I didn't argue.
We had started out with four chicks, but businessman that he is, Ed had traded two of the chicks for a car.....got it that night from a couple guys from New York who were down here,..........either for a golf tournament or a porno convention....I don't remember which........
So we were driving down Gulf to Bay taking the chicks to CCC when we got stopped by a female Clearwater PD. How the heck were we supposed to know it was a stolen car? When the female CPD saw that ed's license was suspended again, she said "Boy, you're coming with me!" and she put him in the back of the police car..............for about 30 minutes.
I was having a good time with the chicks in the back seat of the stolen car when Ed comes back to the car spitting...........He said "it's OK, she's letting us go." I figured slick-talking Ed had done some road-side plea bargaining......
He explained that he knew the 40 year old female cop and that they used to smoke together before she got on the force. Ed said that you can't get on with CPD if you had two felony convictions, and since she only had one felony, that's how she got hired under the Federal Equal Opportunity law.
Charles, I don't remember the rest of that night, but eventually I got to the meet.......but your photo of me certainly tells me why the energy drink is called "Monster"......
