I'm back from Myrtle Beach, but something seems to be wrong

[Midlodemocrat]

with DU. Where are all the "Where's Midlo?", and "Sigh, I really miss Midlo" threads?

:hide:

Oh, and we didn't eat here.



Or here,



We did however, eat here



on the way down and back.

Oh, and FWIW, Myrtle Beach sucks.

[NewJeffCT]

1. I didn't realize you were gone

sorry. :hide:

welcome back. Sorry Myrtle Beach sucked.

[matcom]

2. you were gone?

:shrug:


























:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

5. You sent me 340 PMs begging me to come back, remember?

Who else will you banter with? Who else makes my BFF laugh?

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

3. 50 and 60 years ago

myrtle beach was cool. yeah, now it sucks. i bet the traffic was bumper to bumper

[Midlodemocrat]

4. What really got to me was all the teenagers.

Now, of course, I had my two with me and my 10yo, but the unattended teens, wow. Something I really didn't expect to see.

Walking down the grand strand after dinner, I felt like I was in a scene from American Graffiti.

There was one funny thing that happened though. We ate at Pier 14, really nice seafood place right on the pier and the teenagers, TeenMidlo, and her two friends were of course, all dressed up :eyes:.

We were waiting outside with them for my husband and my friend's husband to pay the bill and these four really cute teen aged boys came over to them and started chatting them up.

The two fathers literally raced to the scene and were saying 'they're not available, they're not available'.

So, me, smartass that I am, I put my arm through one of the boys and said "I'm available".

The poor kid almost died.

It was pretty funny.

6. good one!!!

;)

i haven't been to myrtle in years...since my twenties. i will stay north or south of it and then drive to it for a day trip. that is about all i can stand of it.


try to keep this to yourself though...

we brag about it so all the tourists will keep going back there and we can have the rest of the coastline in relative seclusion :rofl:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

7. So when does the movie come out?

"Midlo Gone Wild, Spring Break Myrtle Beach"

:evilgrin: :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. It's currently in post production.

the scenes of me and babyMidlo at the Ripley Aquarium were deemed too intense for a PG rating, so it needs to be edited.

[Katina]

10. Poor kid can't handle a MILF?

I bet he's kicking himself already. :bounce:

[LostinVA]

12. It was cool 20-25 years ago

Shagging (I mean dancing, you pervs!), drinking, and the beach. Not this tourist/golf/condo/outlet hell it is now.

[wildhorses]

16. shhh---that is supposed to be a secret

yes, 20 years ago TOPS


it has gone down hill since then...and disintegrated into the consumer catastrophe that midlo just experienced

:puke:

[deepthought42]

9. Have you been there in the summer?

LOL... There is nothing worse than Myrtle Beach in the summer w/your family...except Florida in the summer with your family... :rofl: Or maybe that's just me.

Glad you're back! :hi:

[stuntcat]

11. (I have to agree about Myrtle Beach)

I guess I used to love it when I was a kid..
USED to.

[LostinVA]

13. I like Cracker Barrel, but who the hell is Midlo???

[Midlodemocrat]

14. *SMOOCH* You know you missed me.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

17. I did, actually!

I forgot to tell you I wanted a wedding present from MB -- something really tacky.

[underpants]

15. Did you take the family to Derriere's Gentlemens Club

or the Crazy Horse?

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Actually, we went to the Bible College Bookstore.

:rofl:

[underpants]

22. I was wondering where you were

I wanted to ask you something but since you haven't been around I don't think you can answer it.

Channel 12, especially the morning newscast, has gone way rightwing since the "Lincoln Financial Group" bought the station. This is not the same as "the Lincoln Group" of fake news stories in Iraq fame (see below) I don't think but every news story is straight off of Fox News.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. I don't watch the morning Channel 12, but I have noticed that

with the evening Channel 12. Especially Gene Cox. He seems to have a comment, useless, for everything.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I missed you like cwaaaaazy!

:loveya:

[supernova]

20. You should have seen my aunt

in Cherry Grove. :-)

Yes, Downtown Myrtle Beach is very kitchy now. (Not that it wasn't before. Except then it was kitsch I could recognize.)

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Cherry Grove is actually very nice.

But Myrtle? :scared:

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

24. I live there..

And yes it does suck.. The area really doesn't suck to me, but the traffic is the part that sucks. It is just horrible. I hate leaving my house in the summer because I know it's gonna take me 20 minutes to get less than a mile down the road.. Then I have bike week to look forward to next month :eyes: . I ate at the sea captains house last week, was that the seafood restaurant you ate at?

[Midlodemocrat]

25. We ate at Pier 14, Bummz, and Ramando's.

Ramando's was by far and away the most awesome Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. The food was absolutely out of this world. I had a delicious shrimp, artichoke heart and feta dish. It was absolutely wonderful.
