I've never been anywhere as boring as Williamsburg so you guys have to have something.

Carolyn's obviously never been to Milford, DE (my grandparents live there). ;) They don't even have a movie theater. And it's the third largest city in Delaware. Got to love the eastern shore.

Milford, well, yeah Milford is pretty dull. I'm lucky enough to have grandparents that live in Rehoboth Beach, DE and that's a different story. As for where I live, despite what Carolyn says about my stomping grounds, my friends always manage to scrounge up something to do. Creativity (and low standards!) are a big help.

Luckily Milford is just a quick trip from Rehobeth Beach. ;) In fact, I have tentative plans to go see my grandparents in a bit over a week and go to Rehobeth at least one day. :)

the town where i live is pathetic...which is why i spend as little time there as possible. of course i can take the t into boston so thats cool

Hmm... bowling alley. Haven't been there in a while. But usually if I do something like that, it's more competitive than social.

Matt - you're going to Rehoboth soon?? I'm going to be there Aug. 17th through 20th. Tell me how everything this. I haven't been there in years!

There's plenty to do in "P-town" if you like to laugh at people. J/K. At least Poquoson is close to something. You know where I lived, there ain't nothin' there. Things are so boring there that people actually camped out a Chick-fil-A when it frist opened. How sad is that? Williamsburg's I dea of the beach is a sand trap next to a water hazard on one of the city's four golf courses. And hangin' out in front of W/D comparing red-neck mobiles. I could really go on for pages about the lame-o things people do due to boredom.

Yeah, I'm going to be there Aug 3-5 or so (we're staying with friends of the family in Milford). I get an extended Team Forum vacation. ;) I was last there, let me think, in April. We snuck out from my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary party. Rehobeth hasn't changed all that amazingly much over the past 10 years or so except for the fact that it attracts many homosexuals now. Doesn't bother me personally but I know others who would have a problem with it. And just make sure to have some Grotto Pizza while there. :)

Grotto pizza??? Grotto pizza??? Nicola's, all the way man. ;)

~Tom~, who's going to knock it off because all the other people in this forum must be totally confused.

Here's the secret... You can be competitive but be joking about it. It works, trust me. THat's what I do everytime I go somewhere like that. That is unless I go shoot pool, I just run the table...

EddieMcD

27-07-2001, 13:18

Eh, pool's too easy. I'd do the same thing. Bowling alley might work though. Now all I need is a way to get out there...

Anymore helpful hints from anybody?

Carolyn Duncan

Got any siblings? Bribery works great, so I've been told, I have no siblings so I don't really know.

27-07-2001, 15:52

I've never really been anywhere in New England before..so I can't really disagree or agree..but..I'm sort of lucky to live in S Florida b/c we have a lot of local bands that are pretty good (none of which I could name off the top of my head) as well as I live right between Miami and Orlando, the sort of music capitals for boy bands and good latin jazz (not saying I can stand the boy bands..but the jazz is great down in Palm Beach)..not that anyone cares..lol

BTW, Mike, did you use the new public toilet? Did you waste that $0.25 it costs?

mike o'leary

27-07-2001, 19:45

and even if i had, if i had had to relieve myself i wouldntve payed $0.25 to do it.

When I went to see the Sox game the other night, I read what it said on the door, and I quote: "You have 25 minutes to do your business. After 20 minutes, the door will automatically open"...and the door opens right onto Faneuil Hall, etc. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Blackjack, and it means that you have gone over the limit (and goal) of 21.

Talking about covering yourself...if you ever use that new public toilet, don't be in there for more than twenty minutes. :eek: :eek: :eek:

mike o'leary

28-07-2001, 14:03

thanks...ill have to remember that.
on the other hand i doubt ill ever spend $0.25 to go the bathroom

this really cracks me up. I've been places where you get 10 minutes before the toilet flushes and the door swings open. I have one question though. Why would you spend 20 minutes in a public restroom? Talk about a disgusting place to be... :eek:
My bust is like saying my bad. People I know started using it because my bad started sounding really stupid. And because we are all avid card players it seemed to fit.

The public restroom is actually SUPER clean.

I don't know Jess. From what I hear, it is possible to make love in a restroom, so they kinda are on topic.

Eddie, you shouldn't repeat things you don't know to be personally true. You're the one that brought this up so I thought I'd just remind you.

Even if he had any, I don't think it works, at least it never has with my siblings. However, on the other hand I've never really gotten along well with any of my siblings either......

Hey bowling RULES!!! I'm hoping to get good enough to earn some scholarship money!! so far I've carried a 156, but hope to get it to at least a 180. N-E other good bowler's out there?
