It was Weekend 5 in Arizona and the 4th in Tampa...wild seems to be the norm. From Arizona... Take it away Cindy!
Week 5 has come and gone - the time is just flying by! Weather is great, crowds are good, shows are incredibly - who could ask for anything more?
Sunday's Pirate Show introduced us to the "pocket pirate" - Bluebeard was very short and petite, made all the more obvious by the fact that the Island Queen was incredibly tall (and Captain Morgan was rather statuesque, as well). In fact, when Scaramouche told the two girls to kiss, he told Morgan "you have to get down to her level" and encouraged her to drop to her knees! But that was only half the fun! When the Island Queen was first selected, Scaramouche asked if 'she' put out on the first date and his lady-friend said he waited until the second date. By the end of the show, in that moment when Scaramouche turns to the Island Queen to steal a kiss, he snuck in a second and almost got away with a third - after which he turned to the lady-friend and said "he didn't make ME wait til the second date!"

And then there was the R-rated show! Let me tell you, those boys crossed the line a LONG time before Raphael declared it crossed and flipped the rating over to X!! First, we had the Penn State jokes: "that joke leaves a bad taste in my mouth"/"but at least you get a four-year scholarship" led to comments of Scaramouche being a "wide receiver" - "no, I'm a tight end" - "everyone else has been in your end zone"! Then there was the poor, unsuspecting teenage boy and his family! Not only did they tell him that even his dad has done it, but D'Angelo offered two words to mom ... "shower massage".  Raphael then proceeds to describe the various jet settings on said shower massage, including that one "in between" that "you can't keep it there long, but it makes you go ..." And then we had these gems:  "he's young, you can't expect him to last long"/"yeah, but he'll be ready to go again in a minute"/"ask dad for tips and pointers!" Can you tell it's an R-rated show now?

I also feel compelled to mention that I made a run across the lane to get an iced tea just as the show was getting started. As I approached the counter, the woman behind the counter of the kitchen next door was shouting "three topless men on stage" with such enthusiasm that the guy at the soda counter told her to calm down! HA!
And from the fans...
Kayce Taylor Westervelt At the AZRF on Sunday, during the 'Helen of Troy' show, Raphael went into the audience to pick a 'Helen.' The lady he picked was flattered....but her husband however was NOT!!! He looked like he wanted to kick Raphael's ass! When Scaramouche went into the audience to do his part, the lady told him she better not do this anymore. Scaramouche skillfully moved on to another woman and all was saved. We almost had an ASS WHOPPIN'!!
What about Florida, you say? Â Well, let's just say a picture is worth a thousand words.
