The scene in South Florida was surreal Saturday.
On one side of the MacArthur Causeway, the side where police had braced for trouble, scantily clad men and women poured beer and testosterone into the streets, cafes and clubs, while thumping to the loud, restless beats of South Beach.
Meanwhile, on the mainland side of the causeway, allegedly the quiet side this weekend, a naked man was shot to death by police after he was found chewing on another man’s face.
Under the hot sun Saturday in South Beach, long before the nighttime partying began, revelers took videos, posed for photographs and sipped basketball-sized cocktails, strolling Ocean Drive for the annual hip-hop/rap extravaganza known as Urban Beach Week. The event, which traditionally draws upward of 250,000 people from all over the country and from all walks of life, is known as much for its over-the-top fun as it is for its music and celebrity mix.
Ladies in bikinis, fishnet dresses and barely-there bra tops strolled in throngs (and thongs), some of them daring enough to wear spiked heels. Men with low-riding shorts and jeans mingled on the strip, talking game and getting turned away more often than not.

“I hope that wacko lawyer gave an assumed name..”
Real name...I just posted her engagement photo. That’s her.
The prospective groom is a Marine Corps veteran and working in construction. Why do I think the June 23 wedding is not going to happen, when his friends and coworkers find out about Yvonne’s pre-marriage “celebration”? Surely he can’t imagine she’ll be faithful to him, and that’s pretty important to blue-collar Mexican gents.
Blech. I still can’t get the hang of this.
Ping.
I think I get it now.
Yeah.
In America, you get to face your accuser. But you're not allowed to deface.
I, too, have slooooooowly acquired very modest HTML skills.
Once you have mastered < i> and < /i>, you can replace the i with b to boldface, u to underscore, and s to strikeover. Also, you can use more than one at a time:
Because it can be useful to emphasize in several many ways.
So whom did you see at Walmart?
Anyone famous, or merely the infamous?
Usually I see at least one neighbor, fellow church member, or person who says, “Hey, you’re Tom’s mother!” but today it was boring. I didn’t even know the cashier personally.
That's what I wanted to try
Hmph. My blinky worked, but I tried to underline the whole thing to see if the blinky would be underlined, too, and *nothing* was underlined.
I have never attempted blinky.
I attempted it once on a thread I figured nobody would look at just to fool around. I wonder what marquee looks like. Just found a tutorial from one of my old community colleges. That should help w/nomenclature (blockquote, etc.)
Such diligence! I have to go supervise Offspring, or they’ll do nothing.
OK. I’ll play Straight Man: What the 7734 is “Blinky?”
An html skill I lack.
