Some of the entertainment opportunities offered to visitors in Rocky Point can be confusing. Here’s an email conversation Cap’n Greg had with Wilma Ronco of Silver City, New Mexico.
WILMA: I will be in Rocky Point for the first time ever next month and a girlfriend sent me a list of things to do. Can you help me understand what they are?
CAP’N GREG: I’ll do my best.
WILMA: She says they have places where you can get a table dance. I have heard of a cake walk, a soup bowl and a taco stand, but not a table that dances. What is that about?
CAP’N GREG: About 20 bucks if you’re not particular.
WILMA: She says Sonoran hot dogs are an aphrodisiac. Is that true?
CAP’N GREG: No. I had four for lunch and couldn’t even get a sea lion to kiss me.
WILMA: My friend said I should try a tequila sunrise. Will I like it?
CAP’N GREG: Have you ever had a cool, sweet, colorful drink that made you tingle all over, and compelled you to walk naked on the beach at midnight?
WILMA: Of course not.
CAP’N GREG: Then I suggest you order two.
WILMA: My friend says that I should go to Manny’s and JJ’s Cantina for drinks on Saturday night. Anywhere else?
CAP’N GREG: Sister, if you survive those two places the same night, you’re a better man than I.
WILMA: Would I enjoy a sunset cruise?
CAP’N GREG: Absolutely. Sometimes dolphins swim near the boats, and the music, drinks and colorful lights create a great party atmosphere. Some boats have fireworks. Be sure to bring a camera, because the sunsets are spectacular.
WILMA: You’ve been a lot of help, Cap’n Greg. When I’m in Rocky Point, I want to give you a great big hug. But how will I know you?
CAP’N GREG: Look for a ruggedly handsome man in his early thirties, with a full head of curly hair and lots of muscles. That’s nothing like me, of course, but my wife won’t care if you hug that guy.
