I acknowledge this negotiation is messy. Context still matters. I care about the ideals of political correctness, but I also loved partaking in the undeniably un-PC Roast Battle with every fibre of my being. Every comic on that stage had given each other permission to make such jokes. Everyone was on an equal footing.
Funny, that. In a different context, this would be a disaster.

That's even more than my wife's cooking. He ended by saying, "As a comedian, I've died many deaths. Prostate cancer, I don't recommend. I'd have paid good money to stay out of here. What's it worth to you? The advertisement was made with the support of Monkhouse's estate and supported by poster campaigns, including award-winning panels displayed in London Underground trains. Money raised went to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation. She denied it.
She said she thought the plastic bag would keep me fresh. I want to die in the saddle. Why should other planets be any different from this one? As for funerals, I rather like them.

Put the mint leaves, powdered sugar and water in a Collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice and then add bourbon.
Top that off with more ice. I like to garnish mine with a mint sprig. Serve it with a straw. Two or three of those and anything sounds good! Let me give you my recipe for a rum and Coca-Cola. Take a tall glass, put some ice in it, two fingers of Bombay rum, and a bottle of Coca-Cola.

The population was 99, at the census. West Palm Beach is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,, people in It is the oldest incorporated municipality in the south Florida area, having been incorporated as a city two years before Miami in November West Palm Beach is located approximately 68 miles km north of Downtown Miami.
Europeans found a thriving native population, which they categorized into separate tribes: the Mayaimi in the Lake Okeechobee Basin and the Jaega and Ais people in the East Okeechobee area and on the east coast north of the Tequesta.
When the Spanish arrived, there were perhaps about 20, Native Americans in south Florida. By , when the English gained control of Florida, the native peoples had all but been wiped out through war, enslavement, or European diseases. Other native peoples from Alabama and Georgia moved into Florida in the early 18th century. They were of varied ancestry, but Europeans called them all "Creeks. The Seminoles clashed with American settlers over land and over escaped slaves who found refuge among them.
They resisted the government's efforts to move them to the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. Between and , three wars were fought between Seminoles and the United States government.
By , there were very few Seminoles remaining in Florida. The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late s and s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country. They included founding families such as the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment to the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River.
By , the U. Census counted over people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office.
The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in , coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad.
On November 5, , 78 people met at the "Calaboose" the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In , a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from to , and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city.
Nearby Palm Beach was under blackout conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats. The s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners.
West Palm Beach became one of the nation's fastest-growing metropolitan areas during the s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores.
However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today.
The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street. In the s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed.
These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the s and s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight. Since the s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district.
The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed.
According to the U. The authorized project will provide year flood protection to the urbanized eastern basin and year flood protection to the western basin. All eastern basin features have been completed. During mediation of the Everglades water quality litigation, a technical plan was developed for resolution of the litigation. The technical plan included a substantially modified C project.
The modified plan expands the original 1,acre floodwater detention area into a 6,acre stormwater detention area. In addition to the flood damage reduction benefits provided by the original project, the modified plan provides water treatment, reduction of damaging freshwater discharges to Lake Worth, and increased water supply for the Everglades and other users.
Congress in Fiscal Year President to the U. According to the United States Census Bureau, this city has a total area of Due to vast areas of wetland immediately to the west of the city's downtown, growth took place to the north and south in a linear fashion. Until the s, the city was no more than several blocks wide but over blocks in length.
Large scale development finally expanded to the west of the city with improved access and drainage in the s. However, the city boundaries were not expanded much with the exception of the "Water Catchment Area", an uninhabited area in the northwest part of the city. Known as Grassy Waters, it now serves as a reservoir for the city drinking water as well as a nature preserve.
