No better way to spend a 4 day weekend in the summer than drinking a margarita on the porch of some place called "Captain Smelly Balls Nasty Crab Bucket Shack" while listening to a terrible ZZ Tops cover band.

This is like the one good element of American Culture and it should be preserved.

Sorry the winter is getting to me a little.

there will be fewer shops that exclusively sell t shirts with text in impact font, but drinking beer on the beach is, i believe, a cornerstone of communism

No I think at least some of the T-shirt shops have to stay. Getting a really weird trashy T-shirt with something bizarrely sexual on it is a core part of the beach town experience.

We can keep like 1/3rd of the trashy T shirt shops. There’s definitely too many but they are necessary

The mainlandwrs can take the dirt dyed t-shirt economy from my cold dead pair of hands, bahd.

Shirts and crappy quality caps/hats with a random logo on it, usually involving a dolphin.

Based on my dad's t shirt collection some of those tourist shirts actually have a decent lifespan. He's still got one with a big spear fish on it from the early 90s.
