@LetsGoDuke301, I’m going to be in your area tomorrow through Friday. I coach an 11 year old baseball team, and our Southeast Regional tournament is in Wilmington.
Wouldn’t mind meeting you, if you’re around.
I have become a stranger of the board. Sorry I missed this. Where was your tournament played? I wonder if my nephew was in the same tournament.

Hey, lemme ask you all a question.... what’s your take on a radio at the beach and the etiquette of it? We are here for a week, and this group plopped down next to us yesterday blaring 80s rock like Poison and Bon Jovi. Goes against one of my primary beliefs, that you don’t bother other people with your stuff. Am I just old?
I take a radio to the beach. But keep it close and the volume to a respectable level. As with everywhere, your time shouldn't encroach on other people's time and you should respect that other people may not like the same music as you do. But let me be honest, Dude, poison and bon jovi are nowhere near the worst music you could be subjected to. No offense to country music fans, but some of today's country really irks me. We had some guys a few weeks ago blaring Florida Georgia Line and I wanted to take their radio and throw it in the ocean.

Where did you go for the week?

Today’s “country” isn’t country music at all. It’s more rock n roll now. I won’t listen to it.

If you can believe it I’ve already run into a couple that are Kentucky fans so they teases me a little bit when they realized that I was wearing a Duke hat and Duke shirt but they were really nice lol
We have a few nice people. Don't tell anyone though

Can't make a comment like this and not share! Did a dolphin bite you?
It was long ago. Stayed in a "friend's" condo on the north side (ghetto) of the island. The water smelled horribly like sulphur, the walk to the water was very long over sand that was about 150 degrees, and the scuba diving operation was the worst in my fifty year's experience diving. Drove to the more posh south end, and I could see the attraction. Also, I don't golf.

They were the 2nd & 3rd Kentucky fans that I’ve met in person and all 3 have been nice. They were from Kentucky on vacation at Myrtle Beach.
Yeah that isn't surprising, Kentucky is a Southern state and I am sure you have heard of southern hospitality. I am glad you have had good experiences with Ky fans. Ky people are nice to me every day. Like any other place we have good and bad

The only opposing fans I’ve ever had problems with in real life were Maryland fans. Other than that the only opposing fans I’ve ever had a problem with is message board fans. lol

Jersey shore.

And I’m a quiet guy, I like to read and listen to the ocean. Got no need for loud, aggressive 80s rock, you know?:)

You must not have met any unx fans in real life then.
A lot of my friends are UNC fans so I don’t really count them because they’re reasonable for the most part. While I was at Myrtle Beach I actually met a guy that lives about -20-30 minutes or so from where I live. He and his son were UNC fans and we poked fun at each other back and forth all week. He said he was going to get my name and address before he left so he could send me a UNC T-shirt and hat and I told him that I’d just mail it back to him lol

I don't know if I can call it rock n roll. That's pretty insulting as a fan of rock n roll. It's more like pop if anything.

Do you ever go to Fire Island?

I would say this is a pretty common reality.
I talk about uk fans but I live here and some of my very best friends are uk fans. Doesn’t mean I don’t hate their team and wish they lose every single game, but we don’t let it ruin the friendship. My point is, I bet plenty of Uk fans have friends that are UT fans, Alabama fans have friends that are auburn fans, and I bet most Duke and unc fans have friends that are from the rival side. So with all that said, let’s go Duke and hope unc and uk both lose in the first round of the NIT!!!!!

Do you ever go to Fire Island?

Actually yes... my wife’s old boss and his husband had a place there. Holy **** it was nice. Guy was a multi millionaire. It was this crazy house that was made up of like five different buildings around this central Japanese garden thing... each bedroom was its own little building with its own little bathroom and stuff... and then the main building was the kitchen and hang out place... it was insane.

For anyone that likes knives, there’s a nice knife shop at Barefoot Landing called Southern Edge Knife Works. I went in there on the Tuesday while we were at Myrtle Beach and saw a nice punch knife that I liked but decided to wait to buy it because I had only brought enough cash with me that day to buy some beef jerky from the Beef Jerky Outlet, so I went back Thursday or Friday to buy the punch knife that I had seen but they had sold out, so I ended up buying a different knife that ended up costing me 2 1/2 times what the punch knife would’ve cost me.

Out of curiosity, was one of their names John, maybe go by Jack?

Sorry, I didn’t see that you quoted me. No I don’t believe so? I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the husbands name Why, you know somebody with a house that sounds like that?
Its a weird story. Turns out we have a cousin who was adopted out at birth. My aunt had him when she was 16 and none of us knew about it. He recently reached out to my brother on Facebook and explained who he was. He is married, to a dude, and has a house on Fire Island. He is trying to put together a big family reunion type party and is offering to pay the travel expenses for anyone who wants to go.

Anyways, I was wondering if you knew how the beaches were on Fire Island and when you mentioned the gay couple, I thought, that would be one hell of a coincidence.
