It was founded in the 1880s by cigar manufacturers and was populated by thousands of immigrants, mainly from Spain, Cuba, and Italy. For the next 50 years, workers in Ybor City’s cigar factories would roll millions of cigars annually. (From Wikipedia)

And when the seed has fallen into its place, that vehement heat descending from her brain draws the seed to itself and holds it, and soon the woman’s sexual organs contract,...

Buffalo Bomb
bminortoa:
PCarl texted me about the Mission Hill AK’s Buffalo Bomb and I was awash with memory. Too many of the GIS results involved Gov. Palin so no images tonight. Fair to say that sandwich symbolizes a time when I was young and bold and fear was not involved in my thought processes (see also: the murder monster burger.

Obama didn't mess up the oath, Roberts did
bah-humbug:
Who else can honestly say they wouldn’t mess up the oath of office? Props to Obama for showing everyone that we are all only human.
I thought this same thought, but then I read the following on Talking Points Memo:
