"The place surf culture started!"
I’ve got a busy day planned which includes lunch, some light editing and getting a teardrop tattooed just below my left eye but before all that I think it is important to bring you the news that Malibu is the first surf spot in the United States to officially join the Register of Historic Places.
Malibu beat out Waikiki, Huntington Beach, Santa Cruz and New Smyrna for the honor and maybe this should not come as a surprise seeing that Malibu’s city planner calls it “the place surf culture started.”
The designation, including Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach, Malibu Lagoon State Beach and surf breaks at First, Second and Third Points, means the area is able to receive tax incentives and grants that go toward its preservation. In receiving the honor Malibu had to prove it was old enough to be considered “historic” and has remained unchanged for the most part and has some historical significance.
Those do not seem like overly arduous hurdles to clear and I would also like to nominate Georges in Cardiff by the Sea. It seems old and unchanged plus I once shared a surf there with Damo Hobgood and had a historic amount of fun.
Back to my teardrop tattoo, I know they traditionally come in black but I was thinking mine would look good in pink. What do you think?
Isn’t San O the birth of surf culture?
My uncle swears he knows the ultimate Pruno cultivation method. I shall report back with details swiftly. Be brave Chas!
I don’t know which I loathe more reading about Kelly excessively or reading about You asking me another question excessively. Im so not a fan of this. Looking forward to seeing Lisa A’s documentary sincerely. Until then
See you tomorrow Llama.
Facebook gets a hold of this thing surely be the last of me.. Hoping alternative to view comps outside of facebook venue. Llama don’t facebook!
Greebs don’t facebook either. Never have, never will. I’ve always said Facebook is the devil incarnate.
Pink teardrop? Depends on what happens in the showers…
Ouch
What does the tear from the corner of your mouth signify? I shudder at the real answer
And here was I thinking you had to earn a teardrop tattoo.
Very skillful craftsmanship. Are you selling these? If so, I’ll take 2 x toothbrushes that double as knives and 1 x spoon stabber with grip. Could come in very handy!
If you are considering fleeing to Mexico to avoid all this I know a guy who can assist with everything.
“An historic…”
Let Lil Wayne be your style guide. Something neutral. What if you want to wear something that clashes with the pink teardrop?
Wait I’m confused now… the 4 x the laughing story?? Ashton snitching to the Feds or the pink teardrop tattoo story??
The 4 x laugh was the Ashton snitching story! But once it was committed to computer it wasn’t quite as funny. Maybe 2 x laughs.
I was being facetious, it’s at the very least 4x the laughs… maybe 10x.
It generated approximately 6 x laughs for me..
No laughs for me, just a drawn out, “You’ve got to be fuuuuucking kidding”. Hardly surprising though when you consider his performance on that fateful day when coffee tables became such a talking point.
Fateful Friday.*
The debate may not have been on a Friday.
Deserving of a Seinfeld nod with a coffee table book that’s about the coffee table incident and the book is a coffee table.
Coffee table now Exhibit A in a critical case brought before the judge by a table rider lacking critical judgement.
i definitely laughed. because it was so improbably amazing.
Geez you Yanks like putting immigrants on Register Lists, and now surf locations
Is that a US cultural thing? Or irascism like here?
For you …. Orange is the New Black
Chas could be the New Black in Orange County ?
I can see you carrying around a photo of Ashton in prison and talking to it, threatening it etc.
Picture on a Dartboard?
Ashton, the Bart to Chas’ Sideshow Bob
Its worthy of a mic drop tattoo. A pink diamond encrusted mic drop.
