Maybe that magical wetsuit of armor has one more trick...
Oh to be the CEO of professional surfing, locked alone in your room in the very middle of the Pacific Ocean, streaming Real Housewives of Atlanta over a glitchy WiFi connection, having Spam Musubis slid under your door, by gloved hands, all mashed and misshapen, nearly single-handedly derailing the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons presented by Hydro Flask.
A pariah.
A pariah in the truest sense of the word.
Then salt gets rubbed directly into the wound as love-of-life hometown Manhattan Beach, California posts a boast so hard about how chill everything is there.
Your Manhattan Beach where you made a name for yourself stand up paddling into straight-hander after straight-hander bedecked in your magical suit of armor.
Sigh.
Per the local news:
Beachside Manhattan Beach is bustling today as folks get out to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, scenic ocean views, and all that Manhattan Beach is! Just this morning, a socially distanced line wound down the sidewalk near Becker’s Bakery and diners were out enjoying meals at Uncle Bill’s Pancake House, Homie, The Kettle, Simmzy’s, Manhattan Pizzeria, Ercoles, Sloopy’s Beach Cafe, North End Caffe, OBs Pub & Grill, Wild Cafe and Pancho’s.
Grotesque-looking Spam Musubis and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Sad.
Do you remember how funny that wetsuit of armor business was?
I almost forgot.
I am a donkey? Ok.
The numbers are from Finland and Norway, both countries, together, 400 something Finland, 400 something Norway. 800 something total. That’s why the comparison was made using both countries. Because together they have the same population as Sweden.
And for what you’re trying to argue be valid, then the number of deaths should be 1600 not 8k. 800 deaths for a country half the size, then double the size should be 1600.
A considerable increase in suicide, drug abuse, mental problems, divorce, poverty, etc. Are all collateral damage. I don’t deny that. And countries were this collateral damage is big just shows that the government hasn’t done a good job dealing with the situation.
Nonetheless, capitalism is a system that relies on individual movement. Those that access the situation, see what has do be done, and do it, those people will make money. Movement. One moves, one makes money, capitalism. Now, those that sit in their asses and crie, crie, crie. Well… those people should consider moving to a socialist country.
Cheers donkey!
Expect a call from Fast Eddie and the rest of the Hawaiian mafia soon. Or at least an invitation from Scott Caan.
It worked!
60% of the time…
Spam musubi is my honest-to-goodness favorite food. I was trying to cheer ELo up.
@Chas@disqus_nEmZsdyY0S:disqus why are you so envious of ELO?
Not very good is the new awesome!
Gaining some of your lost grit back, Chas.
Older MB local (ok, not that old, just middle-aged). Awful article. You publish good stuff every now and again but this is just trash. Officially unsubbing from Beach grit on my phone
I get to watch another “mb local”(exception NicLamb), leaving crying. This time his face isnt bleeding and his board isnt broke!? Why r u crying and leaving this time??
Because he can’t afford the $10 paywall at ex-Venice adjacent.
“As for the local waves”– literally some of the worst beach break in California or maybe the world.
How embarrassing is it for you Wudoomers when multiple people test “positive” and go on with their lives. Just curious, because it’s about……99.7% of the time. Cheers!
Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Swedes decided to carry on, just a few precautions no mandatory use of masks, no lockdown. Neighbouring Norway and Finland did lockdowns.
Sweden has had 10 times more deaths than neighbouring Norway and Finland.
In the last month alone, Sweden had 17 times more deaths than neighbouring Norway and Finland. 100 deaths vs 1700 deaths. So that’s 1600 Swedish families that could have a loved one with them this Christmas but they won’t. Avoidable deaths.
Now, if your politically brainwashed mind can find a way to deny the effectiveness of the mesures being implemented by most countries, well… bravo.
Furthermore, Swedish hospitals operating close to full capacity. Neighbouring Norway and Finland receiving Swedish patients to alleviate the burden. Not funny when someone breaks a leg, gets bit by a snake, nasty fin cut, etc, etc… and gets to the hospital only to find out a burnout medical team and a shit load of fat and old folks coughing out of breath. Doc looks at your broken leg: Hey, sorry, we can’t make this procedure today. Here, have some morphine…. and you dose out.
Now, if you’re a cry baby, ohh the economy, ohh the economy. Then you just don’t understand how capitalism works. I strongly advise you move to a socialist country.
Cheers.
Over 400million people in USA, and only (2) have truly died from Corona alone. They were elderly, and weak….weak like the simple mind that doesn’t understand 97.2% recovery rate. The rest is hyperbole, and beat off talk! Here’s a hint: Quit grandstanding on a fools argument in the face of facts.
Why does Sweden have 8k dead people and neighbouring Norway amd Finland only 800? Because Norway and Finland took it seriously. Now, if you don’t understand or don’t care that 7.200 people in Sweden could be alive at this very moment had Sweden done the same as its “neighbours”, well… not much I can do for you. Stick to your facts.
Cheers
Can you name the 2 that died? I want to send a card.
Who is the doco giving out the morphine? Just asking for a friend.
What was that underground club where you got on the elevator with the midget back in the 90’s? I was obviously torn up, can’t remember the name.
Splurging-out on Xmas

The glossy perfect teeth fantasy of So -Cal must be like living in a tv show. Have you ever thought about living in the real world?
“The Real World” was a TV show about living in the real world on a TV show, a “production” that Erik Logan could if not would most certainly mess up.
You got the chink in E-Lo’s wetsuit armor in the cross hairs. May your aim be true. Aim small, miss small.
I miss the days someone would rush in and call it: first!
You might be “only!” on this bereft-of-value piece.
Care to explain? Sorry, English not mother language. Couldn’t make any sense of it.
