Ten Things That Really Bother Me, But Shouldn't
1. Knowing that even if I brush and rinse before I go to bed, I will still wake up with rancid breath.
2. Rascal Flatts songs.
3. People who don't merge one-at-a-time.
4. Fake testicles hanging behind pick-up trucks.
5. Tabloids. And anyone in them.
6. Girls wearing matching Velour sweatsuits out of the house. Same goes for guys and pajama/lounge pants.
7. People wearing Abercrombie t-shirts. Look at me! I overpay for everyday items!
8. People wearing Hollister or Quicksilver t-shirts. No one on the east coast surfs. Aspire to convince people that you are part of something of greater worth than the surf crowd.
9. Drivers using their windshield wipers at a setting far too high than what the rainfall merits.
10. The OBX/LBI/IRE bumper stickers. See my February 2007 blog post.

Wow...maybe you shouldn't come down to VB - wouldn't be much of a vacation. People surf here, but it's not real surfing, so they think they can wear the cool shirts. The cool thing for "surfers" to have here are stickers on their Jeep Wranglers that say "Virginia Has No Waves" (the design of them is a play off the "Virginia is for Lovers"). Also, the OBX/LBI stickers aren't as prevalent down here, but the South Carolina state symbol stickers are HUGE (tree with a crescent moon). It's a cool logo, so it doesn't bother me as much as the OBX ones, but still. I think you should only be allowed to have them if you are a native of SC.
However, Virginia just passed a law banning the Truck Balls. So that's kinda cool.
you might be surprised to find out that there are some die hards that surf the great lakes in the winter, and that Montreal is a pretty big surfing destination. Standing waves in rivers make for some of the best surfing around, because the wave never runs out and you don't have to wait for another one. There are a few rivers on the east coast that have them - but probably the most popular ones are in montreal (which I guess isn't exactly east coast), but still - it's kind of neat.
I saw the tiniest little suburu the other day that had a pair hanging behind it. It was pretty amusing...
Plenty of surfing on the east coast. Get a hold of yourself
