It’s time for my annual trek to Wildwood to mingle with the obese tattooed masses. My posts will be sporadic as I ride my bike, take my son and his friend deep sea fishing, read a book on the deck, sit on the beach, walk on the boardwalk with Avalon, drink heavily at the Shamrock, recover from nights at the Shamrock, listen to my mom tell me the same story for the 4th time, and learn some new curse words from Joyce, my Section 8 neighbor.
Section 8 ain’t doing so great. Mike is doing 3 years in the State Penitentiary for selling heroin in a school zone. Luckily, Joyce has shacked up with a new dude, who weighs about 350 pounds. A match made in welfare heaven. For all the newbies, I’ll repost my classic opening to summer, written five years ago.

Have fun and be safe.
Goddammit, you go fishing more often than Obama goes golfing!! 🙂
Well, I had a most interesting day yesterday …. two cops showed up in my living room yesterday (I was watching TV and didn’t hear them ring the bell).
I’m writing a post about that right now. Hopefully, you can release it sometime this evening.
Have fun, ya old coot.
PS; I know you don’t care much for soccer …. but, both Northern Ireland and Ireland advanced out of group play, and are now in the knock-out stage (16 teams) for this year’s Euro championship.
We went to Dave Mathews at the poorly designed amphitheater built on reclaimed mercury tainted soil last night. Talk about tattooed obese masses. Sixteen dollar canned beer isn’t my style, but that wasn’t holding anyone back. A seven year old in front of us with drunken “parents” was wearing a fuck it I am tailgating t shirt and the smoke from the reefer was thick and overpowering. It was a fine example of just how bad our society has become. Have fun with fatties wearing too little clothing admin.
“A seven year old in front of us with drunken “parents” was wearing a fuck it I am tailgating t shirt…”
I saw a little kid (5-6 yo) in the grocery store one day wearing a shirt about six sizes too big that said: “Rehab Is For Quitters”.
Enjoy Admin you have well earned it. Looks like good weather. Mrs. Bostonbob and I do our beach vacation at the end of August in North Truro the second to last town on the Cape, the one before P-Town. P-Town is a trip in itself, especially carnival and the “drag” races. I have been going there since I was a little kid in the 1960’s.
Bob.
Ooooh stucky. Cops in your living room? That doesn’t sound good. That will be an interesting post. WTF
I hope so. I just submitted it. It will appear as today’s “Stucky Question Of The Day”.
Time flies Admin…
One of the best you have ever written. That could be turned into pretty funny movie.
I remember applying for a summer job in Wildwood in the summer of 1976.
I thank my lucky stars I didn’t get that job.
Admin.’s post reminds me of an older movie: “The Great Outdoors”. It is a movie full of crazy events portraying two families and the comedic conflicts during their stay.
From imdb.com : “It’s vacation time for outdoorsy Chicago man Chet Ripley (John Candy), along with his wife, Connie (Stephanie Faracy), and their two kids, Buck (Chris Young) and Ben (Ian Giatti). But a serene weekend of fishing at a Wisconsin lakeside cabin gets crashed by Connie’s obnoxious brother-in-law, Roman Craig (Dan Aykroyd), his wife, Kate (Annette Bening), and the couple’s two daughters. As the excursion wears on, the Ripleys find themselves at odds with the stuffy Craig family.”
The trailer for the film is here:
I hope Admin.’s vacation is not quite as eventful.
P.S., R.I.P. John Candy.
