St. Petersburg recently witnessed a dispute that could give even the most hardcore UFC fight a run for their money. It all started innocently enough when two men engaged in a heated debate on Central Avenue.
According to WFLA, James Anthony May, a 52-year-old resident of St. Pete, who, instead of settling the disagreement decided to channel his inner Mike Tyson. The police report said May allegedly sank his teeth into the victim's right ear, leaving a mark of "permanent disfigurement."
Now, let's not just gloss over the gruesome details. The victim's ear didn't just suffer a nibble... It experienced a full-on mauling! Gross stuff! Imagine a partially detached ear, with the tip of the damaged lobe gnawed off like an unfinished appetizer. It's safe to say that this wasn't no ordinary Sunday night fight.
St. Petersburg Man Arrested:
In the end, May found himself in the spotlight of a police arrest shortly after midnight. His charge? Aggravated battery. Meanwhile, the victim, presumably freaked out by the unexpected ear makeover, was rushed to Bayfront Hospital for some emergency TLC.
One can't help but marvel at how insane it is when turning a casual disagreement into an ear-biting zombie attack. Perhaps the next time you feel the urge to sink your teeth into an argument, consider reaching for a Snickers instead. After all, you're not you when you're hungry, and nobody needs a side of permanent disfigurement with their late night activities.
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.
