I honestly thought Salt Life was a fishing thing originally and didn't pay much attention to it. Then I started seeing it everywhere, so I now put it on the level of OBX, Life is Good, and the family of stick figures.
Oh watch out for certain older drunk ladies who like Jimmy Buffet. Really, this is very important. And watch out for Unlce Rick, too.
PJB you need to write a autobiography. I'll buy the first copy. Are there any beach towns or pop culture niches you haven't been part of? You seem like a well traveled gent. We need a few chix, a bonfire on the beach, a pray for swell surfboard sacrifice, keg o' beer and PJB telling stories til dawn. When, where, I'm there.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +1 to all of that. I know there's a thanksgiving planned in SC, might be too far for me, but I'd travel down to Jerz for this.
Dude, Cosmo's in Southern Shores starting selling slices when I lived there. One day I was in a hurry and grabbed two. HOLY MACKREL, this stuff was a solid 8.5 on the pizza scale. They always made a decent pie, but damn these slices were off-the-hook. Of course, I didn't get a whole pizza, only two slices, and the stuff was going richter. Yes, I am ku kuu bananas over pizza. The food of the gods. Thanks Goosemagoo and Seldom Seen. I'm available for Bar Mitzvahs, weddings and childrens birtday parties. Hey someone get me a publishing deal and you're all set. Or send me $19.95 and I'll start producing a crude magazine(as in production value not content). Oh smack, Transworld Surf died. This month's issue is their last. I warned that smug son ***** that his magazine sucked and he was resting on a boring format of lame travel articles detailing pre-trip logistics and boring pro surfer interviews. Man, I don't care what board some dude rode at the Pipe Masters. Ya dig? I want to hear aboot alcoholism and illigitimate children.......and STD's. Even their letters-to-the-editor sucked, where Cote got to shine by trying to outwit 10-year-olds with Family Guy-esque tangents. I'm not real well traveled. Only international journies were to Canada, but I have been along the east coast and all of the Gulf states out to California. Some places I was very familiar with. Like, I used to listen to BCN in Boston just like Emass. I've even been to Mystic, CT with Portugese Pizza Parlors. I need to hit the Mid west and PNW. But I have eaten in Alabaman Sambos back in the late 1970's - early 1980's and learned my first cuss word in Texas. I was educated in Southern California's public and private schools from grade 2 to grade 6 where I learned how to draw constellations and pick on people. Actually the private school was good, the public one was a joke. I mean a joke....... I love you guys.
There's a daily surf report courtesy of Corolla Surf Shop http://www.corollasurfshop.com/surf-report?&ID=7800 Gary, the owner, is very cool and will clue you in to the best breaks.
Corolla water temp 59F today, WTF?! That's some serious upwelling. I will remember to bring my 3/2 down with me.
Nahh Cosmo's is better. Corolla Pizza has it's moments. I hear it's cheeseteaks are ok for you yankees in the area. I don't eat killed, chopped-up cow so I wouldn't know. Cows are cool. They like grass. But the dudes who run Corolla Pizza are cool, at least they used to be...... Now, don't get me wrong I ain't hating on Corolla Pizza, it's good pizza. Giant Slice is ok and The Tomato Patch is alright(it's different, kind of "Greek-ish."). Now that being said....... Avoid Pizazz Pizza anywhere on the banks. That place blows.
I hate those god damned stick figure families! WTF do I care how many kids/pets you have and what athletics they are involved in? I got 4 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a big catfish I keep in a pond in my back yard. Does this mean I need to get a sticker like that for my Harley? Where do I find a sticker with a catfish on it? And the OBX sticker started a trend where every friggin town on the coast has one now. Even little ole Sea Isle has a SIC sticker. Drives me NUTS!!!!
Holy Mackrel, I just saw your avatar. God I hate using that word, "avatar." I feel like I'm on the Big Bang Theory when I say that. Actually, I have to give props because Sheldon Cooper is one the better characters in sit com history. Anyways, HOLY MACKREL, that's quite the view. Yes, you have an obligation to let people know aboot yourself via the back window of your car, or preferably, your pick-up truck. Hey, I didn't make the rules.........southerners did. Your views and your life must be summarized on the back of your car. It's what decent society does. So get them stick figures on that vehicle and throw a SIC..........a LOCAL(Ocean City version)........and an OBX sticker on your vehicle. Hey, do you like guns? Well let us know aboot that too. Also, post positive or negative slogans aboot politicians............. We need to know who we are dealing with on the roads.
HAHA, good stuff man, no really. I covered the entire back window of my Ford Rustang when I was 16-17yrs old with nothing but punk rock band stickers, things like: Operation Ivy, Rancid, NOFX, Bad Religion, Minor Threat, The Exploited, Against All Authority, Strung Out, Guttermouth, Less Than Jake, Face to Face, Screeching Weasels, No Use For A Name, Hotwater Music, H2O, Lagwagon, 10 Foot Pole, Good Riddance, Suicide Machines, AFI, Agnostic Front, BigWig, The Bouncing Souls, to name a few.... I wonder what some must of thought when they saw some of those stickers and didn't know what they meant. I realized a few years later that it probably made me look stupid with all those stickers, but I was just reppin the bands I dug, ya dig? Now I steer clear of any bumper stickers of any kind...
Hey, when I was a younger person, my parents cars where peppered with surf stickers............. When I used to surf Camden, NJ, I threw a RUTGERS sticker on my ride to throw off the po-lice.
I don't know, cause it's all aboot the one's who didn't pull you over in a high intensity surf trafficking area three blocks from campus. I'll never know how effective it was. The two times I did get pulled over I went straight to the "How come you pulled me over for....what, because I'm a white surfer" thang. And it escalated from there and my student status was never brought into the mix......I won both times, though. Got tickets one time which all got dismissed in a court of law because, man, the police never show up to testify for BS charges like the ones I copped.......... And the other time they just let me go....... "Do you know what type of neighborhood this is?" Yeah, it's a third-world, surf-infested paradise...........
