Really, tourists annoy the crap out of me. I swear they are normal intelligent, functional beings at home, but get em out on the road and they become drooling, obnoxious idiots. They must leave some vital cerebral components at home.<BR>Then, times like tonight, I see one of the most stereotypical, sure-fire, flashing red lights of a lost-at-sea tourist couple and then I see them express true wonder at something such as a beautiful scene, or a precious baby. And I stop and think: Are they actually human? Does this mean I have to stop despising them? Well no, only for a minute, then I regain my composure.<p>[This message has been edited by C+student (edited 10-25-2002).]

If its called tourist season why cant we shoot em?
- Thread starter C+student
- Start date
You're joking about shooting people?<BR>Good timing.<P>My advice is: take a deep breath, and get over your superiority complex (you haven't ever been a tourist and been in awe of something that locals take for granted and laugh at YOU for?)
Boy Jdubbs, <BR>you really missed the point of that post. Their awe was what impressed me and made me take notice that they are people with a heart, same as me. Easy there with the accusations.<BR>Until you have lived in a town who's population is multiplied by about ten on busy weekends, you wont understand the anti-tourist sentiment anyway. <BR>Yes, Ive been a doddering tourist, myself, many times. The post was largely toungue in cheek and, in addition, most EVERYBODY in this town jokes of various cruelties to tourists.<BR>Glad to see the BB moral police are on duty.<BR>sheesh.
Try 160+ blocks of this;<BR><img src=http://www.ocwaves.com/summersurf/8.10beach.jpg> <P>... all staying, driving, drinking, pooping, eating, playing, and mating on a half mile wide island. Three more beach towns in the next thirty miles.<P><img src=http://www.ocwaves.com/summersurf/8.8babZZZZes.jpg><P>Gotta love it though.<P><p>[This message has been edited by TeamScam (edited 10-25-2002).]

Frank,<BR>I must 've lucked out when I passed through baltimore. I stayed a couple nights en route to PA and, first, met a nice lady, then had a great time shooting pool in some bar with some really friendly locals.<BR>It was also the first place in a while that I could sit on a pier and space out on the water. It was refreshing.<BR>Re the tourists: Yeah, I'm just venting now that the season is coming to a close. You know, blowing off some frustration. In fact, I am very inspired by the positive tourist encounters. Gives me hope.
C+ were do you live??? Ya tourist really **** me of here in the summer. The entier valley it seem's like come's here. Well at least it is alot better then team scam's pic's.<p>[This message has been edited by cencoastgrom (edited 10-26-2002).]

Ccg,<BR>Yep, I should consider myself fortunate that the place I live looks not nearly as mobbed as where Teamscam lives (not yet anyway). I live in a small Norcal beach town that is trying far to hard to be Carmell. The irony, of course, is that the tourists largely support the economy up here. It's just, after dealing with a certain element of em for long enough, well......<BR>I need a pair of those blinders that horses have that dont let them see anywhere but straight ahead ("ahhhhh another gorgoeus, lonely day in town)...
