Priscilla Queen Of The Swamps

Probably my favorite Swamp Buggy Queen but I don't remember any of the others. This year 2008 a woman won the Swamp Buggy Race & tossed another woman into the sippi hole. That seemed odd not in a anti-woman sense but it used to be such a macho, gun totting, drag that guy with no beard or badge off the sidewalk & muscle him into that cage. The whole thing has been sissified the parade goes down 41 which is odd it really seems to have lost that VIBE I talk about. Plus the fact that I really think I’ve seen enough cement & septic tank pumping trucks to last a lifetime. You know hose off the peanuts & corn & Armor all the tires POOF! Instant Float, we’re not talkin' Rose Parade here! When it was on 5^thAve it had a community feel to it, back then it really was an event. But back then ANYTHING in Naples was an event like Grants opening & your parents would go we’ll come back tomorrow & finish off that section of the store I need sit down for a while & have a drink. Or you’re kidding me, a McDonalds without driving to Fo’ Myay (I know its misspelled I have Cuban friends that pronounce that way & I tend to like it). I took my dog to the parade this year & sat across from Pippin’s and watched the parade Jess loved it & I thought about Chris’ Gourmet Castle.
