What the duck!
When I think of Ybor companions, I think of getting a couple of the guys together for a night of drinking or taking a girl out to dance the night away. I can't say I've ever thought of putting a large plastic duck on a leash and dragging it behind me everywhere I go.
But this is what I saw at The Castle on Friday night. Meet "Stitches" -- the guy who was dragging around the aforementioned duck, who remains nameless.
I understand that he's dressing up to try and be different and unique but it just ends up looking like he's trying way too hard to be original. As far as clothing goes kids, taking a brand new shirt and ripping it to shreds doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look trashy enough to be Paris Hilton's new boyfriend (It also ruins a perfectly good shirt!).
I feel sorry for that duck though. It's being dragged around town so much that the bottom is starting to wear out. I only hope that protective services will one day take it and put it in a loving home.

Who gives a s*** about what hes wearing or what hes doing, write about something interesting for once.
