The Tidal Wave – the best bar shot ever?

Spent the weekend in Dewey Beach DE where the latest rage in bar shots is the “Tidal Wave”.

Here’s a video I shot of a bunch of Santa Clauses (more on that later) doing Tidal Waves (yes I did one too but I couldn’t videotape myself) at the Starboard in Dewey.

The shot can be anything that you’d like, it’s the water in the face that gives it the name. The shot was taking the bar by storm and people were lining up to have water thrown in their faces

OK – now the Santa suits story.

There’s a group in Philly that sponsor’s their version of a Santa Claus bar tour (similar to the one that I run in State College but on a slightly grander scale). Their tour is called the “Running of the Santas”.

“Rudolph’s Revenge” is their July version of the Santa Run. It’s a bus/ferry trip from Sea Isle City NJ to Dewey Beach that departs Friday night and returns on Sunday with the centerpiece of the trip being the Revenge Party at the Starboard.

Here are a couple of photo’s I took at the Starboard during the Rudolph’s Revenge party.

Next year I might bring my Santa costume, or I might try the Starboard’s Dewey Beach version of Pamplona’s “Running of the Bulls” festival instead – or maybe both.

Perks of being over 50

If you’re not over 50, this is what you have to look forward to.

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run–anywhere.

4. People call at 9 pm and ask, “Did I wake you???”

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won’t wear out.

8. You can eat dinner at 4 pm.

9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as challenges.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won’t get much worse.

15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

19. You can’t remember who sent you this list!

And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.
