    There is an odd feeling of power when you wear booties while walking on a rocky shore. Like you’re defying God by treading where man was not meant to. Even better if they’re sharp rocks.

    I remember seeing a Baywatch documentary on TV when I was a kid. Pamela Anderson was going on about how they cut the legs of their swimsuits to be much higher up their thighs than the actual lifeguard uniforms they were based on. And how they were required to ice their nipples before each take so that they had pokeys in every scene.

    The 90s was a decade.

      It was just a soap opera set on a beach. A few hairs above softcore porn. And it was crazy cheap to produce, as most of these “actors” were just local models (which LA had in spades) who got handed their lines a few minutes before the shoot.

      Go over to Haim Saban Entertainment and you’ll see the same thing but for little kids. He bought up a bunch of the rights to rebroadcast Japanese tokusatsu shows, then cut in high school drama shorts between the action scenes and redubbed the tokusatsu in English. Filming was practically free and he ended up selling the rights to Disney after a measly five years for a whooping $5.3B (of which $1.6B went straight into his pockets).

      The 90s was this experiment in how many episodes you could churn out on a budget of the change you had in your pocket.

      Beach is full of pebbles. Pebbles are second only to Lego to walk on barefoot, or an upturned UK plug.

        One time I stepped on an upturned thumbtack. Upon its removal, I discovered that it had a - presumably manufacturing related - bulge on the side of the shaft.

        That sucked … And while I am aware of the questionable wording in this statement, it’s accurate, so I stand by it.

          I’ve stepped on multiple nails, ranging from somewhat clean to rather rusty. One went clear through. Good thing I had my tetanus shots.

    Winter Beach? Why are you in the ocean in the winter?

    Actually half winter half summer beach, very strange.
