I drove over to Tampa with some of my best friends for Gasparilla tomorrow. Gasparilla is where they run the pirate ship down the river into town and the pirates “invade” Tampa. The mayor gives up the key to the city and fun ensues. There’s a bunch of drunkenness and of course a parade with lots of beads. The town gets prepared ahead of time for all this craziness. When we stopped at a CVS in the evening to pick up a few supplies we encountered this interesting tidbit of a sign: (I guess they were tired of people asking about Ponchos?)

NO PONCHOS
