    Dang, the last time I was here the ads were of the lowest denominator. Kind of like Brett Favre endorsement deals.

    But, wow, so far I see you got Quicken Loans...Amazon...

    Amazon !! Hell yeah.

    Though I do miss those "Meet Russian Women" ads.

    Outdoor Hub, baby.

    It was kind of tough watching surfing fall completely to the commercial side. Kind of tough watching the hobbyist take over.

    But, hey, I've accepted it. It is what it is, and it was what it was...

    Besides, I figure in aboot five years it will all be aboot wave pools anyways...

    It's too bad that so many never really got what this is all aboot. Jesus, each session you probably are actually riding a wave for a total of 30 seconds to a minute. It was more than just the act "of riding a broken comber". As Parmy said, "It was an attitude. A lifestyle. A rebellion against a society perceived as absurd..." Or something like that.

    Real crackers never die.

    Although, I've been scooped-off "The Ave" a few times.

    From the limited amount of material I've seen...

    ...what gives?

    Ain't no one took a swing at me yet.

    What did y'all get scared nice by the moderators or something?

    I would take a swipe but I like you and have plenty of alcohol and weed in me, so I’m good watching the show.

    Don't mean to burst your bubble, my friend ( and I know I can say that with sincerity), but you've become beloved in these parts. Some might add legendary. A respected and well loved member of the brotherhood.

    And about the ads, they target ones behavior, so I suspect you've been browsing anazon and such lately.

    Me? I see nothing but guitars, guitars, and more guitars.. maybe a tube amp for good measure. .. courtesy of our friends at Sweetwater or Guitar Center.

    Greetings, peace, and welcome!

    They target people's behavior? No shit. Wow.

    Ah, I get Internet "suggested material" and it is never on point.

    Whaaa the Internet doesn't understand me.

    Nah, brah, I don't do Amazon. Quicken Loans? Shoot I get all my loans at high interest rates from some Italian guy who hangs out at the West End Bar and Grill. Totally sucks when you miss a payment. And now his sports bet operation is in jeopardy...

    Where's the vodka, PCP and weed ads?

    I used to play the guitar.

    Man, that dude...

    Thought he had the world by the balls at age 16

    Dead of a heart attack at 45 in some God awful desert town...

    Speaking of heart attacks...

    When Meghan Markle's daddy was having an acute case of heart attack, the Queen called me and axed if I would consider walking Meghan down the isle. I was put on a short list of replacements, but I didn't get the gig.

    Molded into proper little surf-Internet enthusiasts.

    Well one dude tried. He claims that he ain't got a 'tude towards me, but I remember. I remember everything. It's both a curse and a gift.

    Maybe LBCrew will get snarky with me. Yeah, I remember...

    Nah, ain't never seen that.

    Does it get into Archy's demos or is it just all surf?

    It’s like a documentary on Archy’s life and a lot is about David Eggers too. I have the DVD. You should check it out.

    I think I will. Shoot, I mhaven't seen anything "surf" in so long. Besides snapping at STAB I am completely out of tune with the surf media.

    Hey, I hear Kelly has a wave pool...

    I hear your water down there is all bacteria and shit right now.

    Yo, buy all your fins and boards from SKYE Surfproducts.

    That goes for all of you, especially you Floridians.

    Hmmm.. you are probably correct.. the Internet doesn't understand you.. you're getting the defaults or maybe ads of the day. So, amazon and quicken must be the highest bidders for your yet to be determined clicks.

    PCP.. bad, sad stuff. Lost friends in high school to that junk. Not that they died, just were never the same. stuff just fried people's brains and the buzz (reportably) wasn't even that good, compared to what was available from plants or fungi. I stayed away from it.

    Anyways, don't need any of that stuff these days... Have that abundant joy working on the inside if you know what mean.

    FInd a guitar, work with it and let its sounds minister to your soul.

    Be well.
