The Zen Master falls down on the job
As the Zen Master and I were taking a walk this morning, I decided to pick his brain for a Beach Week headline for the first post on Sunday. "Welcome to Beach Week" just isn't going to cut it.
"How about, 'Welcome to El Beach Week," he suggested.
Huh? I didn't get the Latino angle.
"You know, El Beach Week. Eee Ell. EL's Beach week." ...
No.
"How about 'Beach Week Is a Beach'? 'Beacha Can't Not Love Beach Week?' 'Beach...'"
No. No. No, a thousand times no. I had to put my hands over my ears and make the um-um-um-I-can't-hear-you sound.
So, boys and girls, it's up to you. Any great headlines for Beach Week? And while you're at it, anything you want to discuss now that it's almost upon us?
In case you're wondering about the photo, here's the caption info:
"Heidi Dresman and Julie Eade come to Liquid Assets Wine & Martini Bar (also called LA) three nights a week after working at OC Hair Studio where Eade is the manager. Both live in Ocean City and are drinking one of the bar's signature drinks, Wide Awake Drunk. The bar in LA sits within a beer and wine carryout."

How about "Beer, Fear and Fries"

The obvious one is The Sun's Sandy Points Suggestions!

So many cliches, so little time ... JMc gnashing his teeth.
SteveA's suggestion looks like the headline for a redneck killing spree.

"The Sandbox heads to the Beach"

Inspired by my daughter, I suggest:

I like Zevonista's suggestion.

I second the nomination for Zevonista's suggestion.

I ... third? ... it.

Owlie? How do you vote?
Posted by: Bucky | June 9, 2009 4:30 PM
I respectfully abstain. I will be away for all of Beach Week and won't be doing a guest post. It's unlikely I will have internet access, plus I need some quiet time.
I am happy with whatever you guys want. B>)

Who are you and what have you done with our friend Owl Meat?

Eve murdered him and is wearing his skin as a suit. :)

Is that like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" Lissa?
Posted by: Bucky | June 9, 2009 8:00 PM
I like Zevonista's suggestion as well. Mine was kinda lame, based on the hackneyed Bawlmer accent.
As a take on Zevonista's idea:
Road Trip: The Sandbox Hits the Beach!
Posted by: PCB Rob | June 9, 2009 8:44 PM
You got it, Bucky.
Posted by: Lissa | June 9, 2009 8:51 PM
How about:
"There is more to OC dining than the Plim Plaza Smorgasbord!"
or
"There is more to OC dining than Thrashers!"

Owlie, you won't have internet access next week. Where are you going, some kind of cult compound?
Last night I was in Gassaway, West Virginia and even there I had internet access. And tonight I'm Georgetown, Kentucky...and again there is internet access.

Good song, Lissa...

Tomorrow I move onto the "L's"

Road Trip: The Sandbox Hits the Beach!
I like it! Sounds much more adventurous than my original title!

OM, loved that movie, far more than the book, which is unusual. His writing style is annoying, although I admit I couldn't put the book down (if you don't count slamming it to the floor in frustration).
By the way, OM said it would be unlikely he would have Internet access-- perhaps because he is choosing not to have it, in order to truly relax and unwind. Even Raptors need to let down their guard.
Come back to us refreshed and relaxed, OMG. We'll miss you.
