Captain Tony's was called "Sloppy Joe's" back in the 1930s when Ernest Hemingway used to frequent the place. A fake Sloppy Joe's is a block away on Duval Street. The fake Sloppy Joe's is bigger, brighter, and smells less of old beer, has a bigger stage, and can accommodate more people, and they serve food - yet compared to Captain Tony's it's not even close.

The story behind Captain Tony is another Key West original. Tony was a small time crook up in the New York/NJ area. He was reportedly grabbed by some rival crooks, and beaten within an inch of his life and left for dead. He survived, and took off down south. He opened Captain Tony's Saloon, and engaged in various and sundry legal and illegal activities. He was famous for having run guns for Cuban mercenaries during the Bay of Pigs. He was mayor of Key West for a time. In the Saloon, there are lots of memorabilia items, all of which have meaning or significance. Like, one of the bottles in which the Kool-Aid was stored at Jonestown....
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Our Vibrio for today goes to David Mann, aged 39, of Brycesville . He beat up his 78 year old live in girlfriend because she didn't pay the cable TV bill and he couldn't watch his programs. When they searched the house, police found ammunition that Mann, a former felon, is not allowed to possess. Mann was charged with battery of a person over 65 and possession of a weapon by a felon.

Florida Man goes national. Following in the wake of totally awesome teen challenges like Tide Pod eating, the "Fire Challenge" is once again making the rounds. First spotted in 2012 but recently revived, the Fire Challenge involves pouring flammable liquids on yourself and then setting yourself on fire while Youtubing the predictable results. That is like you know so like literally cool.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/mor ... f8aa3184c6

This answers the age old question asked by many a parent - if your friends jumped off a cliff would you do that too?

I could suggest some other "challenges" useful for impressing you friends and contributing to global population control. The .357 to the temple challenge, the wrap your nose and mouth with duct tape challenge, the hold a long metal pole over your head during a massive thunderstorm challenge, and the tie 10 concrete blocks to your feet and jump into 20 feet of water challenge.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Plenty of non human skulls have been found in old NOrse and Celtic tombs... dogs, horses, cattle, pigs, you name it, they are there.
