While down here, I've noticed a few things that no one in their right mind would think of attempting at the resort pools back in the Valley.

You can almost hear Rocky Point exhale. The spring break crowds that have been so hotly anticipated all week seem to have arrived today, and so many of the bars, clubs and restaurants that seemed to bereft of life are now teeming with teens.
I saw girls doing these things tonight. Because they were drunk. Blind, fall-down, puke-in-the-street, cry-in-public drunk. Then I saw their barely more-sober friends scream at them and try to drag them away from the man with the video camera. (There's ALWAYS a video camera.)

Despite warnings from their universities, students from the University of Arizona, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University have descended upon Rocky Point en masse as of Friday morning.
I'm not saying everyone down here is a liar. I'm just saying that sometimes, truth can be as elastic as the ties on a sting bikini. Here's a look at a few of the most common.
The uniformity of hotness down here is astounding given the statistic that something like nine out of 10 Americans weigh more than 300 pounds, or something like that. But, really, it's as though a 24 Hour Fitness disgorged its most elite clients in the Malecon neighborhood, inspiring a rare mix of awe, lust and envy in bystanders, who are often every bit as fit.

A server at the Friendly Dolphin dons a pink, blue and green serape, over which he arranges a leather holster outfitted with loops across the chest for tall, narrow shot glasses, and a pouch at the bottom for a bottle of tequila. The students love him.

I have never been sung to, loudly, and well, at close proximity, over tacos. I did my best to make eye contact and to not blush too much. (It was really intense, even if it was in the middle of the crowded, well-lit dining room at the Friendly Dolphin and the whole thing was being audio-recorded and photographed by our shooter.)
