On the open container, it is better in New Orleans since there is a lot more stuff to see and they really cater to it, but in Savannah and in general its kinda cool to me because if you're at a place and it sucks, instead of pounding your beer and leaving, you can just pour it into a cup and hit the road and find a better place, or just chill outside. I guess its a big deal to me because where I live now they're crazy about boozing out side, it's PUD and they act like standing in front of your house drinking a beer will lead to gangs of minorities "wilding out" in the streets, so its nice just to be able to chill with a beer.

I agree about the idea of leaving a crappy bar and not having to pound your beer. Also, it's nice that alcohol isn't treated like some sort of anathema. But in practice, it's kind of a pain in the ass to drink while walking.

I'm sure I'll share that opinion after that week, but I just want to see that spectacle one time.

I read a positive review of a book by someone from grad school I really didn't like, and it's motivated me. There's probably some word like schadenfreude for that.

Oh yeah, no doubt, the only way to do it effectively is in a bottle, when you have a cup it's pretty impossible to do it with out spilling it all over yourself.

In Hawaii you can drink on the beach pretty much at will, at least as far as I could tell. We would go to this beach to watch the sunset and pretty much everyone, local and tourist just sat around on the sand with a beer watching for the green flash. It was awesome. It seemed so foreign to us, since in Jersey it's almost a felony to drink on the beach.

We have to work late tonight, so corporate is buying us dinner. Our office is on the south side of Bethlehem, there are no fewer than 5 pizza/sub places with in a mile of the office, but because one guy has to be a douche about stuff we are ordering subs from domino's. Good job man.

The key to being able to drink on the beach, at least in our town in Jersey, is looking respectable. I don't think I've ever had any trouble, and my parents do it all the time.

That's interesting, I've been stopped for drinking on the beach several times throughout my 20's each time we were not drinking, nor had we been, so I just assumed it was pretty much impossible.

Now, to be fair, it's a small, 8 block long town, split half between Toms River and Brick. And our little town agency thing pays the night cops to come through on extra patrols since the townships have other things to worry about. It's not exactly Sea Isle or Ocean City or something.

I remember when 8 years ago or so they started allowing coolers on the beach. It made my job as town maintenance man (glorified garbageman) a lot harder. Damn people don't take the time to put their shit in the cans. How hard is that?

My uncle had a bungalow in Mantoloking in the 70s. He sold it just before the area went crazy in the late 80s I think. But he did ok. He now lives in Bayhead.

first fantasy baseball draft if the year in 7 minutes!!

Married to the Eiffel Tower

Friend just sent this to me. It's a 20 some minute documentary about people who fall in love with objects. Just watch the first 5 minutes and you'll have seen enough. Fuck man, people have some serious mental issues.

So, giant phalluses, huh? It's funny how much they remind me of old lesbians I used to encounter in Rehoboth.

THIS BOAT IS REAL!

I'm probably going to offend someone here, but I always want to fight people that wear those boat shoes, or whatever you want to call them. I have more tolerance for older guys, because they don't know any better, but if you're under 40 and wear those shoes, consider this an open invitation to fisticuffs.
