Mr. X Does Negril (2010) with No Reservations
Chapter 27 (cont) – Afternoon at BBB
September 6th, 2010 – Monday – (Day 3)
Angela’s (restaurant at BarBBarn) not open. Business too slow I guess. After rain. They said main restaurant will probably close by 6pm. No problem but its 545pm so I guess we will order a little something to tide us over until dinner.
Can’t remember what we got except for the club Sandwich. I bring this up because everybody makes a club sandwich. Each layer of Club Sandwich was toasted with melted cheese. The meats were not lunch meats but quality cuts. Club Sandwich is not something I order that much but this was the best club sandwich I have ever had. Damn Good Food.
Having never seen a show at Bourbon Beach I was thinking why anybody would pay to see the show when you can just stand by water and watch it for free? Turns out they put on a “fence” for the show and take it down afterwards so no free watching. I look over and watch my man Shabba putting up this fence all by himself during the hottest part of day.
Basically he dug a deep hole in sand. Put in pole. Fill back up with sand. Level. Pack. As he got each pole in place he would drape a giant blue tarp over posts and tie down with sand and rope and you have a “fence”. When the “fence” is up people can still walk beach but not see the show for free. He told me it takes about 3 hours to put up temp fence.
So I am floating in front of BarBBarn. Wife and friends are in and out of the water around me. My eyes are closed. Totally relaxing and chilling.
Me love you long time.
I am almost positive I heard that.
Me love you long time.
Pretty sure it’s coming from the opposite direction that my wife was.
I am still laying on my float with my eyes closed but I am pretty sure that was a woman’s voice sounded about 20 feet away. Since I am in the water and did not notice anybody within 100 feet of me it is a little surprising. I heard noise in the water and opened my eyes to see my wife coming over to me in the water.
What did that woman say to you?
Well I am not 100% sure but I think I heard the phrase “me love you a long time”. If we were in Asia it might make more since. I suppose she probably saw me and fell madly in love and thought we would spend a long time together. I was scared to look was she good looking? Was it really JLo? This was the point where my wife first tried to drown me. Fortunately it was only 3 feet of water and I am a lot bigger than her.
Watched sunset. Just lounging on my float. Cloudy. Beach was deserted. Even the higglers/vendors took a break to rest up for the night work I guess. Beautiful sunset. Water fells so good. Bath water. Crystal Clear. White sand.
Mushroom guy comes by. He is old guy. Says he sells his mushrooms to everyone. Any place you can name he sells to them. Any rock star you can think of he sold to them. Best mushrooms ever he says. I got no interest in grubby looking mushrooms but I am curious about them. Best ever. Only sells to rock stars but will make exception for me. Thanks but no thanks. I did take it upon myself to ask questions and increase my knowledge and that’s when it happened.
Can’t really explain how.
Somehow I was looking at the bag of mushrooms and then by magic
The mushroom jumped from the bag to between my thumb and forefinger.
You know.
He knew and I knew.
It was no longer a question of whether I wanted mushrooms are not.
The only question now was how much money I was going to pay for getting my grubby tourist hands on his pristine mushroom that is only sold to big rock stars.
Yes, yes I know best of the best only movie and rock stars. How much?
10 dollars!
***** that!
I will give u 100J (paying for answering all my questions)
500J these are best you can buy. Only big stars.
No chance I am paying 500J for 1 mushroom. No chance.
This was the point where my wife walks up and starts cussing me out about buying illegal drugs in the middle of beach and I have to come on to room and get ready. Nothing like getting yelled at by ur mom in front of everybody. Wife storms off. I am mad give him 200J throw the mushroom in the sand and walk towards room.
Not that it matters to you but
1. Mushrooms are not illegal.
2. I was not paying him for drugs. I was paying him for tricking me into holding the mushroom.
Whatever get in the shower she says.
Shower, get ready and wait and wait and wait for wife and friends to get ready. Off to dinner we go.
