About Me
Well what can I say, anyone who has experienced a trip to the Island understands the philosophy. The island is located in Lake Saint clair, and about the size of a football field. It is home away from home for the wayward pirates, the island has all of the usual amenities such as a wood buring hot tub, 2 Air Boats, tiki bar, satelite television, and indoor plumbing (the edge of the seawall is sometimes closer and easier). The only reason to leave the island is to eat breakfast with Ronnie, the necessary Alcohol runs to the middle channel, and the occasional trip to Browns. Regular visitors have come and gone leaving just a few "veterans," (people that Eddie trusts with the Kerosene or to drive the boats) their job is to make sure your journey and your stay is enjoyable. Visitors to the island are serenaded with the sounds of "Margaretville", "Five O'ClockSomewhere", and "Get Drunk and Screw", if you were not a Buffett fan before you came to the island you leave a Parrothead! Eddie also introduced the boys to a new singing legend, Pat Dailey. Don't worry by the end of your stay on the island you will know and love Pat, and will probable start singing "Bells In Hell" on your car ride home. The island has a name and a few rules that visitors soon learn, and if they break these rules walking the plank and floating back to civilization on a piece of driftwood is the punishment (with nothing more than lake water to drink). On a usual weekend there are 10 - 15 pirates drinking and enjoying each others company, it's Ed's Island so he is the enforcer of the rules and let's us know that it's "Always Five O'Clock on the Island". There are only four basic rules we live by and sobering up on that piece of driftwood is reason enough not to break any of them. If anyone has been to the island or scheduled for a visit, you are in for the party of a lifetime (and make sure you take a few days off when you get home to sober up). So when you are invited be at the Old Man's be on time and a "veteran" or Eddie himself will pick you up (he doesn't like when his beer at the island gets warm, so make sure you are on time)!Well this sign pretty much says it all!This is not just a drink, this is a beacon of hope, a reminder that there are still men in this world who stand for freedom, hard liquor, and wasted time. You, me, and several country singers, we are those men!Yes it is almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Yes we are most likely drunk, when we feel we have a problem we head to the shed for the nightly meeting..I believe that this picture is when the boys came back from getting Beer and Ice.. We couldn't help it that the bar was the best place to pick these items up.
