Selfie-gate will live in infamy. That said, here is today’s Mayor Brown photo of the day. I call this one “Wrong Turn at Colonial Williamsburg.”

Since “Throwback Thursday” is such a hit on Facebook, I’m going to use it as an excuse to be lazy and recycle posts from my former Folio.com blog.

At a recent Duval County School Board meeting, the Jacksonville Progressive Coalition presented 1,600 surveys of which 92 percent of the individuals surveyed were in favor of changing the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School. I do not disagree with the idea, considering Forrest’s unspeakable war crimes during the Civil War, including the execution of surrendered soldiers, and his post-war co-founding of the Ku Klux Klan. However, I would like to bring to your attention that Forrest High School isn’t the only place in Jacksonville with a name that might be perceived as offensive.

Burro Bar: “Burro” is a synonym for “ass,” so Burro Bar = Ass Bar.

Broad Street: While I personally don’t have a problem with it, the word “broad” is considered by some to be degrading to women. Some less offensive replacements might be: Lady Street, Gentlewoman Street or Female Street.

Felch Avenue: If you really want to know why “Felch” is a horrible name for a street, check out its definition on Urban Dictionary. Consider yourself warned. Seriously.

Jaxx Sports Sports Bar: Besides the fact that adding a second “X” to “Jax” serves no real purpose, Tristan Jaxx is the name of a gay porn star. He has an, ahem, lengthy filmography with titles including “Fleet Week,” “Best Men,” “Endless Crush” and others not appropriate to repeat here.

Nero’s: Nero was a Roman emperor. He also seduced married women and young boys, killed innocent people for no reason, castrated slaves … oh, and murdered his mother. He’s also believed to have started The Great Fire of Rome. Enjoy your spaghetti.

I just read “Five Facts about 49ers QB Blaine Gabbert.” (Don’t ask me why since he doesn’t even play for the Jaguars any more. Perhaps I thought there would be a mention of some deep-seated issues that cause him to block good, kind-hearted people on Twitter—for no apparent reason.)

After reading the article, I’m no closer to learning why I’m #blockedbyblaine … or  anything else for that matter since the article is pretty lame.

As a service to the good people of San Francisco—and to show Gabs I harbor no ill will toward him—I’ve gathered some facts about the QB that are actually interesting.

1. He’s really good at ironing.*

2. He loves watching movies and offering succinct reviews.

• “Hangover 2 was epic.”*
• “Billy Madison cracks me up.”*
• “Ironman 2 is legit.”*

3. He calls burgers “burgs.”*

4. He has one of the best quarterback bodies.”** (Can Tim Tebow at least get honorable mention?)

5. The letters in “Blaine Gabbert” can be rearranged as “blabbing eater” or “tan gerbil babe.”***

Jacksonville Guns N’ Hoses was quite the bash (get it … boxing? … bash? … like someone’s face in?) on Saturday. The annual event attracted nearly 6,200 attendees and raised more than $100,000 for PAL (Police Athletic League), MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) and Wounded Warrior Village.

In the end, the “Hoses” took the title winning the final bout in a split decision over the “Guns.” Final score: Guns, 7; Hoses, 8. (For the record, I was a judge and disagree with the results of the final bout. Plus, I just wanted to mention that I was a judge at Guns N’ Hoses.)

In addition to being a judge (did I mention that I was a judge?), I had the opportunity to stalk many celebs including Jacksonville Jaguars players Johnathan Cyprien, Sen’Derrick Marks (who has the coolest hair ever, by the way), Paul Pozluszny and Josh Scobee, former Jag Donovin Darius, Leon Washington of the Tennessee Titans, Capt. Sorensen of Firehouse Subs fame, David Lamm of 1010XL, Mayor Alvin Brown and special guest judge actor R. Lee Armey (let me save you the trouble: he played Gny. Sgt. Hartman and did the voice of Sarge in Toy Story and both sequels).

But the main event was the appearance of George W. Bush who took center ring and performed “God Bless the U.S.A.”

Bush impersonator John C. Morgan sure does appear to be the former president, doesn’t he?
