Vacationing in Jersey

My buddy is heading down to LBI to visit family next week.

 

Dude, these bastards have the goods. The Crab Trap. Nothing gets me more ticked than some local Jersey person spouting off some other seafood place as being superior. Well, ok, it might be, like, number 56 on what gets me ticked........

As a whole, I actually liked my dining options in the Outer Banks better than New Jersey, but The Crab Trap is "twitchen." Side note: Can anyone tell me where I got the word "twitchen" from? Emass....... ?

Ok dawgs, I'm a total sissy these days when it comes to drugs. My body has been cleansed. I drank a bucnh of coffee earlier but I'm still a bit aggro. I never thought a day when come when I would be talking that I got reved-up by coffee. Sad day, mans. Sad day. I used to make fun of people like that...............Funny how things change.

SO...........

I was only messing with you foreigners. Jersey is good.....has a lot to offer, but I'm looking for greener pastures these days. So all y'all settle down. I was just giving your locales the business. Relax

I'm going to watch TV now...........lol lol

OH ATLANTIC0 - Thanks man. I appreciate that. Though, I don't know if I relate to the young kids these days and all the mags seem geared towards that demographic anymore. Man, SURFER used to be b!tchen. Anyone remember Walt Novak and James Elder? Shoot SURFING was good back then too. The mags had real writers with depth to their souls.........Dude, Dave Paramenter is a friggin genius and I never understood why he didn't write more..........Never understood that.

Plus, it's all been said before I suppose............Just another genaration being exposed to the same old stuff from a different mouthpiece..........maybe........

 

Tell him to be on the lookout for Sharknado.

 

I see that someone has been to Volcanic Eruptions. Good choice ser.

 

Don't come to jersey, way too dirty and crowded. Also waves suck, closes out all the time, and the crab trap uses frozen crabs from India . . . .go to VB or NC, or fiji

 

One really can't argue with that logic.

 

some of your posts are hilarious. expert southerner heckler.

you can find old surf mags cheap on ebay. good stuff. lots of lineup shots and swell stories that made you want to travel.

mags kinda suck now. mostly a bunch close-ups of spoiled sh!theads doing the same stupid frontside reverse. too many ads. how boring. good bird cage liners though. too bad lewis samuels doesn't get more play. not PC enough.

 

Someone from Jersey must have really hurt your feeling when you were a little boy.

 

I mention kelly slater's name one time and I'm an "idol worshiper"? Bad mouthing me on other threads now - shows you're a pathetic little b!tch.

 

No worry beef curry, brah! AO was talkin bout (Billy) Idol-worshipping!! He knows you like good music brobro!!

 

time for you to wipe your stomach, clear the browser and get your pj's on cupcake. you have a big day of razor-scootering ahead of you tommorrow

 

Exactly dawg, surf mags used to take you on the journey. Now, I swear, 3/4 of a travel article is aboot getting the pros together and getting to the airport. These dudes today suck. And people like Chris Cote actually think their cute and creative. Yeah, Lewis Samuels wrote some good stuff. I actually let the SURFER subscription fade out, but just renewed again. Hey, I'm an addict. I keep thinking, " This next issue will get better."

I get TWS because somebody gave me a subscription and I swear it never ends. I just keep getting them. I go off-and-on with SURFING. Now I'm back on because they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I should be getting ESM but I just don't function well. I should get The Surfers Journal, but I just don't function well. Hey somebody give me all your back issues of TSJ or I'll jack you.

Hanna (Barbara): You used to hang out in the Inlet back in the day? Wow, you must have been a bad arse. Hey you ever see The Planet of the Dogs? Sometimes, many moons ago, I'd be in AC early in the morn and up around the Inlet area it was nothing but dogs. No people out, just dogs. Dogs sitting on porches/stoops. Dogs hanging on the corners. Dogs walking through vacant lots. Dogs everywhere, man. That was fairly surreal.

Man that inlet area is weird today. They tried their hand at gentrification and seemed to have abandoned the idea. Now you have a few blocks of new townhomes surrounded by crumbling rowhomes. And the place is so often eerily empty. Like a ghost town sometimes..........Except when Uptown Marley is out with his crew.

 

All that, plus you can go deep into the Pines and get all Shane Dorian with the compound bow, if you want... and the fishing, while challenging at times, can be very, very good.

 

I don't think I was ever little. I was like Jethro Bodene, born 5' tall with a full set of teeth. Jerkseys would be ok if they'd stay off the roads and squeegee off some of the grease.

and stay in Joisey.

 

I hear that slum tourism is on the rise.

 

yes, 8 shots of them lounging around in first class wearing ****ty headphones (those trendy surf brand headphones ARE really ****ty, btw) and like two of them surfing. Maybe a nice anti-industrialization piece right between the Global surf industry ads. At least 60% of any modern surf mag is ads (garbage). On top of that, buy one off the rack and it's $8. $11 for the "big issue". $11 I can buy a paperback NYT best seller! Ahg, nevermind.

 

I thought the SURFER "big issue" was fantastic this year. I flipped through the first time, somewhat tuned up, and almost started a thread because I was so into it. Then I thought "Nah, that's just the booze and green talking, and you haven't really scored or traveled in a while". But after multiple legitimate reads, it's still awesome. I actually got goose bumps reading about some of the greatest rides.

If you haven't read it, pick one up if you still can.

 

so true. the getting there 'product' shots, and the 'eco' stuff is so shameless.

the surfers journal is alright though, but kinda pricey.

 

Man, that's pretty damn cool. The whole story. You wouldn't still have a copy of that paper would you? That must have been a pretty wild time and place to be a surfer. You got me day dreaming now.
