With Labor Day coming to a close...it's a glorious time of the year fo sho!!!! -no more bennys -football season -real waves upcoming (hopefully) bgh!
why is everyone so angry on here............................. seems like most of us need a vacation to chill out, catch a buzz and some waves..
I wasn't defending myself as not being a benny. Originally I was making a joke at the fact that someone said there is a difference between a benny and a surfer. But judging by the fact that half of your post is, in all caps "hahahahahaha" I'll assume you don't have much intelligence to add to this post anyway
Who's angry? I'm amped! I must ask though; If every day, for three months, on your way to work, you get stuck behind two vacationers driving side by side doing 20 mph in a 35 mph zone, does it make you feel all chill and groovy?
Yes, I agree doug, I think alot of people are missing the point here. Its not really about all the extra surfers... but then again... it is. It really has to do with all the extra people who flood the area, act as if they own the place, and then just end up trashing the place. If you don't understand, you will have to spend a fall, winter and spring living here full time. Then you will understand. Just a simple task of running to the store could take an extra half hour to an hour. I do not hate these people, and I don't think anyone else here does, but it is sure a relief when they all leave... BUT on the other hand, all those extra people really help out the local shops and beaches ect... I think what it all comes down too is that its a huge relief, we can now ride our bikes peacefully on the boardwalk without the fear of getting run down in the street... the speed limit will once again be 35mph on Ocean ave. We will not have to stop every 50 ft for the people who like to blindly walk out into traffic.... and... it will be quite... To change the subject a bit- did anyone else notice this summer being more crowded then others???
typical benny expereince this weekend. behind a benny going 25 in a 40. traffic is being held up. benny slows to 15 looks to be making a turn (no blinker), does not turn. resume 25 mph in the 40 mph zone. stop at red light behind benny, benny is sort of in the right lane, as if making a right on red (no blinker). traffic is waiting behind benny to make a right on red. benny does not turn. green light. benny slowly creeps back towards the center of the lane. benny throws some sort of garbage out of the window. benny now going 23 mph. quarter mile later benny makes unexpected hard turn (no blinker) into a driveway. to all who can relate, it seems so elemenatary to obey the mose basic of traffic/driving laws. but for our friends up north in their expensive cars, this is clearly no the case. my father always told me they should make people who buy real estate from out of state take and pass and NJ driving test. great idea.. i wont even begin to talk about surfing etiquette..no way. and if you have to ask if yuor a benny..the answer is yes. enjoy local summer!
It did seem more crowded this summer, I think it was because of less surf I found myself not waking up as early or surfing after the lifegaurds left as much as other years. So I spent more time hanging out with the masses during the busy hours of the day.
Hey f@gs, stop arguing and listen, I'm not even complaining about the surfers. I have no beef with surfers. If your dropping in I have a beef, and I'll tell you. I posted that after seeing someone blow a red light for a SECOND time this summer when our light was green. thankfully we (wife/kids) were nowhere near the intersection. But 2 seconds more, and my daughter and I would have been hit coming back from the beach, while riding our bikes. AND the two a$$faces that did it were old farts, like real old farts. So you guys are in the clear. I know I should have clarified a bit more, but sometimes its too easy to generalize and generate humor.
