I was in this strange bar on the Island recently. The band was playing a Spotted Drum and a Trumpetfish with a Queen Anglefish impersonator singing. Some Clown Wrasse tried to interrupt and a Sergeant Major with a Triggerfish temper used a Sea Rod to give him a Red Lip Blenny and he sat back down on his Red Hind end.

The crowd was divided into a black grouper, a Nassau Grouper and some Creole Wrasse, Tiger Grouper. Some Juveniles tried to come through the door but the Schoolmaster raised the Stoplight Parotfish and Barred Hamlet then went back to his Cushion Sea Star and smoked his Tobacco fish.

The most dramatic moment was when a Spanish Hogfish tried to steal the spotlight by singing songs from the great Grasysby. While a Yellowfin Damselfish in distress was kissing some Squirrelfish in the corner, A French Grunt took offense got on his Highhat, and tried to Porkfish her himself. All Hell broke out, a Green Razorfish was pulled out and before you knew it the Brown Chromis had hit the Sea Fan.

It took a long time for the Cleaning Goby’s to straighten that mess out and throw a Tarpon over it.
This is a Great Barracuda if you ever get to visit, the floor is covered in Sand Tilefish, the bar is Mahogany Snapper, Look for the Balloonfish at the door and there is a Garden Eel out back. Try the Arrow Crab with Reef Butterflyfish and Sea Cucumber salad.
And the Green Moray of this story is, Better to be a Hermit Crab than a Peacock Flounder or you may need a Nurse Shark.
:coffee: 9 days.
 
Apparently 9 days too long...Sounds like a heck of a sand bar though. // ww

Where is that bar? I am on the island in a couple of months and need to check it out. Might be better than Moogie at Rum Punch night at Buddy's. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Thanks.
