Adubs European "vacation"

[SubbaBub]

So we get in front of rolls just in time and get to castle, so we could all witness the glory of this psycho getting out of the car.

Things are running a little behind so it was time to get to ceremony. Gf is totally out of it but musters up something from somewhere to walk the aisle and hold the train and all that horse crap. Thankfully the ceremony itself was fairly short, and my gf finds out that on upper floor there is a bedroom used for bride to do whatever. She claims the room and promptly collapses on the bed.

Please don’t get distracted by how handsome I am ( it’s hard, I know) or my stunning use of a pocket square, and just notice that in background GF is in a crumpled heap on the bed.

Not gonna lie, thought you'd be fatter.

I was a hero. I sent to wedding coordinator.

Took me a good 90 minutes to get it all right.

Sure.

I mean our grandfathers stormed the beaches of Normandy, but you type out place cards drunk on a wedding in a castle…..

What about the thing in your signature that is eating the seals? And maybe your daughter if she swims with them.

It's Tiger sharks in Hawaii. She's not going to the Cape.

About 10 years ago my buddy was snorkeling in Anegada . When he came back to shore he was telling the rental guy how he had an amazing time following sea turtles. The guy laughs and goes you’re lucky the largest tiger shark in the world was spotted out there last week… guess what they eat, sea turtles

A guy I work with is voluntarily spending an exorbitant amount of money to go swim with tiger sharks in the Maldives next week for fun. Sheer lunacy in my opinion. He's had to take training sessions to learn how to fend off an attack.

Yea…. That doesn’t sound like fun.

Why wouldn’t he just go to Chatham for free for the next few weeks?

No _____ he could stay at my parents house. My dad swims every morning.

Got my luggage back!

OK, now I picture your dad as the Jack Palance character in City Slickers.

I swim cape and Vineyard too, but Ive stopped during the end of July through most of August. It's crazy there. Just can't do it comfortably, keep thinking Im getting eaten.


Good for him.

My dad looks exactly like Dennis Eckersley.

We try to keep him on the bay side but the guy's got a death wish. My mom encourages / discourages based on the state of their relationship.

God damn it. I told them not to give you your luggage back UNTIL YOU FINISHED THE GD STORY!

Chatham facing south, Nantucket Sound, is fine. As close as it is to Monmoy, I still almost never see any detections there. Does he swim on the east facing ocean side in Chatham?

Even bayside beaches in Eastham have shark warnings posted.

@August_West , while you are hunt-and-pecking your way through the rest of this slog, a few discrete details please:

• Food and booze choices at the wedding?
• Band or DJ?
• Bride and groom first dance song?
• Song choices for father-daughter and mother-son dances?
• Songs to which you danced?

To which I'll add: How many guests looked at their gift bag and muttered, "FFS, what is this shiite?"

Makes sense. It probably never left the US.

Sometimes. It’s insane. But this guy’s still dining out on some story about swimming in a hurricane that hit cornfield point in the 70s. It’s how he’s gonna go.

Lol. I like your dad. I went water skiing not far from there during small craft warnings around the same time, somewhere between ‘77 and ‘80. Granted, probably not the brightest thing I’ve ever done, but it was a blast. When I finish my run I was so tired I couldn’t even pull myself into the boat.

Good times.

I still tell the story of swimming out after some dolphins at Hunting Island state park in SC (where they filmed Apocalypse Now jungle scenes). They zig zagged out and I kept swimming after them. Found myself maybe 120-150 yards offshore when I turned around. Nearly pooped myself and headed for the beach. But I use it to show how stupid people in their 20s can be.

Odds of an attack are low, even on the ocean side, but we will get another one eventually.

After binge reading all 17 pages of this today, I’m going to be sitting here refreshing my browser till I get the rest of the saga. This has been the Summer’s must read
