No Hype said...: Excellent song. I like going out drinking in the city in the summer... a lot less crowded and fewer jerk offs.; 05 August, 2011 10:03

You need to get out of the City once in a while!; 05 August, 2011 10:36

No Hype- I'm around the city and I'm a huge jerk off.; 05 August, 2011 10:39

Scale Worm said...: My favorite Specials song. What a great working class real folks group they were. Your first image looks like my family (personal and extended) heading down the dunes toward the Atlantic... in two weeks in Wellfleet, I cannot wait.; 05 August, 2011 13:39

Dismount and declare to the crowd that you brought Ska music for all night long. See if anyone gets it. No one will, but everyone's happy. You're dancing with a big cheesy smile on your face. A woman comes up to you and says, "You know, I just don't understand. You're not like all these other stuffed swim suits around here talking about the goddamn debt ceiling. Wanna go see the sunset?"

The next day - you believe(!) - you drive back to the city, happy - no, grateful - to have only just visited.; 05 August, 2011 15:49
