Living in Florida means a few things. The rest of the country makes fun of us. The state's population doubles when the weather turns south for the rest of the country. And close encounters with wild life are inevitable. Alligators and snakes get a lot of the headlines. But bears pop up in the headlines every so often. Like this week when video emerged of a 3 legged bear breaking into a Florida home and stealing some White Claws in the process. The 13-year-old who captured the video was obviously startled when his dog alerted him to the intruder. But it must have been a relief to see that it was a 3 legged bear. It doesn't appear like that bear can run fast enough to get his paws on the boy. Here's the video of a 3 legged bear breaking into a Florida home in Lake Mary.
This bear has clearly pulled a stunk like this before. How else could a 3 legged bear survive? It's not going to hunt prey moving at that slow of a pace. The bear has learned this through years of adapting to his situation. The 13-year old who recorded the break in is Joseph Digleo. He says in the news piece with WESH-2 that after the bear found the mini-fridge it went straight for the White Claws. Three of them actually. The flavors; mango and strawberry. Three White Claws for the three legged bear is fitting. Although I don't know if 3 White Claws are enough to get an animal that weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 325-lbs drunk.
St. Pete Beach Bar Has Bikini Clad Servers Hanging Upside Down Serving Shots
St. Pete Beach in Florida has always been more of the party section of Tampa. But there's a beach bar called Undertow that's really setting itself apart. First up, the staff are in bikinis. It's a beach bar, so the theme makes sense. But if you want the full experience of this place, order the upside down shot.
My love of St. Pete Beach goes back way before I moved to South Florida. It's where we came for Spring Break. The four of us from Ohio met up with a local who showed us the best spots to party away from the usual hang outs. I'd put it down as one of the top 5 most insane weeks of my life. Somehow we escaped with no injuries or arrests. The old adage "come on vacation, leave on probation" didn't apply to us, but not for lack of trying.
Back to the Undertow.
After I saw some of the videos trending, I checked out some Yelp Reviews. Lol. It's basically out of town tourists trashing the place. One from Tennessee obviously expected different "Bartending is an art." An 'elite reviewer' from Ohio says "We are visiting from a city who has exceptional cocktail bars and amazing service. Not this ." Love this review "if you are a man and want to see bartenders in thongs. Well this is your place to go."
So what's got the Yelp Karens all worked up? It's something the Undertow calls the 'Upside Down Shot'.
A score of 10 on the dismount
This is the original video I saw trending. You can say whatever you want about the drinks, but this bartender clearly knows what she's doing.
Summers coming
This one's from back in March. Dude got a little handsy which I don't recommend.
Girls Need Shots Too
I used to bartend. After dealing with drunks for hours, you need a drink yourself. And this is how they do it.
Yeah, she doesn't need help
Maybe just step back sir. I think she's got this.
Women need shots, too.
Of course there's a dude in an Ohio State shirt drinking a Mich Ultra. Wouldn't be St. Pete Beach without it. I'm from Ohio, this is how it is. They all wear Ohio State shirts everywhere they go. And they have an Ohio State polo that they keep nice for church. It's an odd place.
Is the slap extra?
The tag on this says $100. Is the Upside Down Shot $100 or was there an extra charge for the slap? People are weird.
