"It is very weird. I feel like I should have the freedom to do what I want on the beach..."
Some days the surf is pumping, the vibes are high and the lineup is the only place to be. Other days, though, the onshore winds pick up, the waves degrade and straddling board whilst chop laps against legs and it’s all so dumb. That is when surfers retreat to the beach to find other forms of amusement.
Some like to toss the frisbee or play spike ball. Others like to read and sip from a hidden bottle of rosé. Still others like to dig big holes right there in the sand or, if with pal, bury him or her.
Well, bored surfers in Del Mar will no longer be able to do the latter starting next month after its city council voted unanimously to ban such behavior citing concerns over suffocation, trip-and-fall risks and hampering emergency vehicles.
Signs will be posted and fines dolled out to those who disobey.
Not everyone is thrilled.
Valentina Woody, mother of three, was approached by the local NBC affiliate while she enjoyed some beach time with her children. “I think having holes or digging holes, building structures or whatever, let them use their own creativity,” she brazenly declared, adding, “It is very weird. I feel like I should have the freedom to do what I want on the beach, of course legally, and I think for me as a parent, my kids should be able to have open freedom and range to everything.”
You go, libertarian queen.
But what is your opinion? Do you like your beaches lawless, dogs off leash, big ol’ holes everywhere, topless gals in cars driving this way and that, like Daytona Beach there in Florida, or are do you enjoy a more ordered situation?
Also, when was the last time you buried someone in sand?

The beach patrol vehicles can fall into holes if they are left.
Many years ago two young kids were visiting the grandparents right there at good old 54th street. They dug tunnels and climbed in. Poor grandpa found um, buried. We would see the old guy walking the beach for years after. Shell of a man.
Since when was San Diego ” fancy”? The early 90s they had rockin bands and shit…not that I remember…thanks Eka
In the 90’s I frequented the Newport Jetties. When the Blackball went up we would then dig a giant hole, sit in it, and ask passing girls if they wanted join us in our Time Machine.
Did it work?
No. Never.
Dammit!
Chapman girls were the easiest
You sure it ain’t a he in a she dress?
No, Gwen cut his dick off
My bad, she….
You should see his statue in Cocoa Beach!!!
America’s obsession with self congratulation is but one hypocrisy
I have seen someone die in a collapsed sand pit. The first dead body i ever saw, i was about 10 or 12 at the time. Crowded summer day at the beach. Revoltingly stupid way to go.
Nowadays,most times I’m digging holes and tunnels in the sand with my kids, happy fun family time, that episode comes to mind.
Strangely enough the other dead body i saw was also at the beach, floating on the outside then pushed ashore by lapping surf.
I seriously can’t even sleep right now. Can’t help thinking about Jack meoff down in Mexico with his kids. Then I start worrying about happy camper and how he’s going out in the real world with no bg to release his tensions.
Then I think about how Trump has let me down with the epstein file thing l then I see the stock market down 900 points today. wtf?
Don’t worry about me homie, things are bad but no worse than your average day strolling down South LA or Downtown Houston, and as bad as things are, no one is going to shoot up a school.
Pretty sure HC is okay, probably smartly avoiding the toxic dumpster fire below the line.
Glad to see someone cares though, we need more empathy in this world. Cheers brother!
If you think that HC is not on some other forum with other like-minded individuals then I’ve got a surfboard to sell you.
He may not be here but he’s spewing his shit somewhere else.
Happy is reading every word typed here.
He’ll return when he’s good and ready
What kind of board?
How come you never raged against Biden about the Epstein files? He died in 2019. Biden had four years. Yet no rage from any of you. Why is that?
Can you provide a screenshot on where Biden ran as a platform that he’d release the files? We can easily provide such for the Trump campaign promise of releasing them. We can also provide screenshots of Trump with Epstein and young girls, and can provide shots of all the times Trump is mentioned in the pedophiles, and that’s just the unredacted stuff. Speaking of outrage and nepotism (Hunter), how do you feel about Eric being on the board of a weapons company whose drone bombs are about to be used on Iran? Asking not in the expectation you see your hypocrisy, but to see the Red State talking points BS you’re trained to spew.
Well said, yet not enough
Why hasn’t Bondi prosecuted anyone with Eppy ties?
Why was Ghislaine moved to a soft prison?
Wars plural may distract, that’s what the daily chaos is about.
Yeah good point there if Ghislain was a bloke they’d stick him somewhere mucho more difficult
Why would it matter if Biden ran on releasing the files, cause clearly it’s very important to you. Would your reaction be different if Trump hadn’t mentioned the Epstein files while campaigning?
So what, so Eric sits on a Board of a US company with Defense Department contracts. There are many such companies. Biden chose Austin from the Raytheon Board. What’s the big deal? Hunter wasn’t nepotism, he was access, for a foreign company.
Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”
Secretive as in he can’t actually prove it beyond his own allegation? Fuck, you believe anything
Once again with this dumb ass talking point. You know why. Quit being obtuse. Or is that simply just not possible?
There’s a reason: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/new-research-shows-high-iq-men-reject-conservative-politics-report/ar-AA1WBQnm?ocid=iehplc
msn? Bwahahahaha
such a reliable news source.
so, is that your go to?
Dude, you’re just providing evidence to the article. It’s a summary of a longitudinal research study. You can find a summary of it on about 50 websites around the world. This is the one that populated first that I pasted. Fuck you’re not good at this stuff, are you?
How much IQ does it take to believe a man can be a woman?
How much IQ does it take to believe gender dysphoria in minors requires hormonal therapy, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery?
How much IQ does it take to vote for Mamdhani, then act surprised when he wants to raise taxes and cost of living?
Get some money and a PhD and do your own study. Doesn’t detract from what they found. Sorry you’re low IQ, Otto.
Bwahahaha

That moment was retarded, in all honesty
Remember when Bush stood on the aircraft carrier celebrating victory over and Iraq that could not defend itself?
Mission Accomplished
6 years later he left the country in a tire fire with no exit plan for either conflict he created out of thin air.
Up 32000 since 08!!
Did happy camper storm off in a huff?
Speaking of beaches and burying people in sand… anyone else catching up on Season 1 of “The 808”? Looks like Fuel TV’s uploading the episodes. Man, times were DIFFERENT…
Didn’t know these fools got a “tv” show. Times certainly were different.
Shit it fucked, though.
On a separate note, it’s amazing to think how all that shit and so much more was created by corporate speculation into some clothing and accessories companies. Just wild speculation, so big that dozens of people got hundreds of thousands of dollars just by being in the orbit of the Champ and his brother. Not one of them acting the same today , and they all ( the ones alive) all seem to cringe when they talk about that period of time.
Where da pills at brah?!
Hey Negs or DR, any chance you could unmark my last reply to pisspus that was flagged as spam?
Thank you.
Signs signs everywhere theres signs
Do this don’t do that can’t you read the signs
“topless” uhh no, even back in the day of wet t-shirt contests the cops kept a lid on that!
People have died from deep sand holes / tunnels collapsing in on them, but it’s a rare occurence.
There’s always a stupid story behind a stupid rule.
The only reasonable complaint I’ve heard was from my Lifegaurd buddy who said they hit a hole hauling ass across the beach for a rescue.
Fair
…”topless gals in cars driving this way and that”…
Niiiiiiiice
But what about this weeks bad taste tatts ?
Is this Chas, or perhaps his female alter-ego getting a two on one gang bang ?
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Which other BG luminary(ies) do you think would go for Chas’s faded doodling style of poorly done bogan body adornment ?
Ahem, have these people never seen Creepshow? Crazy shit can happen when you bury people in the sand.

Buried a feud at Tower 9.
Bury the files there you pedo lover.
Xox
Damnnnnn. No holds barred.
Why would I do that? The files have repeatedly shed light on the rot infecting the left side of the aisle. Time and time again. So, feel free to keep resurrecting this comment of yours, and we’ll keep showing the world just how many Lefty’s are pedos and pedo protectionists.
Dennis Hastert was fucking little boys. Catholic church. Every accusation is an admission. Righties are the worst – fucking kids then trying to blame everyone else. maga is a pedo ring. Disgusting.
Ghislaine Maxwell played a significant role in the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative, assisting with budget discussions and arranging funding for its inaugural event. Her involvement occurred before her legal troubles related to sex trafficking and her conviction in 2022.
She also attended Chelsea’s wedding.
Which exonerates Donny?
Why is she in a cozy prison? Why did Trump move her?
You can’t defend the indefensible without addressing the credibility lapses. The lies.
Whatabout doesn’t work
So? You and maga see the pedo issue as one sided. I and the majority of us do not. See the difference? Funny how the DOJ omitted files around trump. He fucked kids. And I like presidents that don’t fuck kids.
and Steve Bannon/Lutnick…etc very close ties to eppy…..fuck there are so many fires breaking out that make donny looks as guilty as fuck…..so ah….lets attack some country or threaten the world …but don’t mention eppy and the epics…..
Already said it, burn them all, left right center, burn them.
Xox
Well, that’s happening. Not at a pace satisfactory to you. Too bad.
yes but otto….the commander in Chief , is the head ped !

Somehow still a more natural pose than the cardiff kook.
No hands!
One foot, can Kelly do that?
