   I remember seeing these things all the time when I was a kid in Florida. I didn't know they were weird until I moved out of state and never saw them again. Nice to have a name to put to them.

    So random, yet so specific! Curses targeted on barkeeps?? Made me lol at work when I read it. Poor, poor Demetrios and Phanagora. And apparently the curses themselves were beautifully and eloquently written. Love it!! Good times...good times.
