is attached to a fence that surrounds a filthy dumpster full of stinking garbage. (Every time a tourist throws a salt water taffy wrapper in this dumpster, they say a prayer for those mariners that never made it home to steal the chocolate ones out of the box because nothing's worse than the last stale peach-flavored taffy nobody else wanted...).
Yay! More posts! By the way, the VĂ©ronik Avery link is broken....
ReplyDeleteThanks, bellamoden! Just fixed them (I hope).
ReplyDeleteI for one, have been waiting far too long for a tour of the bomb shelter!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the plaque to the sailors started out someplace else ...
Yes, perhaps it started out as a plaque on the feminine hygiene receptacle in the ladies' bathroom, but they thought that was too skanky a place for it....
ReplyDeleteI have a theory about salt-water taffy...I think they all taste exactly the same...only the colors are different.
ReplyDeleteSo, there really is no peach-flavored taffy...only peach-colored taffy.
Saltwater obviously contains Prozac or cocaine--else why would you feel compelled to eat the whole box?
ReplyDeleteEven the "licorice" ones?
There goes Joe's theory: the licorice ones really do taste different.
ReplyDeleteFeh.

ReplyDeleteIf I stop and think about all the sailors I have known (not many), it occurs to me that maybe it was originally a beer bottle recycling area?
Was there once a popular sailor hangout there?
