Man vs. Fear


Unknown male seen at Montauk pondering existence or what to have for breakfast the next day.  Rumor re-emerge the next day of another "Montauk Monster" sighting. 


What an attractive group of folks.  Except for the weirdo on the left looking like Old Man Time.  What's up with that dude?  My homes needs a grooming!


And finally, the answer to the question "How do you know you know you are in a beach town bar?"

That last one is effing hilarious. Looks like you had a great time!

white rabbit said...

The sign doesn't say anything about having knowledge of playing the piano...

Poppy said...

To bad I don't know how to play the piano... or open clams.

Congrats on making it into the ocean. :)

2abes said...

gotta love montauk this time of year. how much did you have to pay those tourists to take a pic with you

Verdant Earl said...

Steph - cracked me up too.

Wabbit - Well the first words are "piano player", so... ;)

Poppy - other than that, it would be the perfect gig.

2abes - who said that I'm in any of those pics? Hmm?

savannah said...

yep, best time to visit the beach is after the season, sugar! re the clams, isn't the best way steam? xoxox

sybil law said...

Yay! Pictures!!!
I think you look great! The other guy looks like he's in Foreigner. :)
Seriously - looks like a great time. I am still jealous.

Verdant Earl said...

Savannah - some crazy folks actually prefer their clams in the raw. Me? Not so much.

Sybil - Foreigner, eh? I like that. :)

Mrs. Hall said...

I like how look better now then when I thought you looked like the guys from Fugazi.:)

That being said, an awesome haircut couldn't hurt.

But, I know you have the whole Lebowski thing going on so yah, the dude abides ;)

I've never had clams, but someday :)

Kevin McKeever said...

Opening clams requirement may be a sexist requirement.

Jennifer and Sandi said...

How do you know? Easy... Beach and Bars go together! Off to search
YouTube for knowledge of opening clams!


*TINK*

- Jennifer

Verdant Earl said...

Holly - what the fugazi are you talkin' bout? ;)

Uncool - I dunno, I've seen a few awesome female shuckers in my day.

Jenn - don't forget the piano playing!

Avitable said...

I really thought that "Opening Clams" was a song that the piano player had to know until I read Poppy's comment and realized what it really meant.

Faiqa said...

OMG, if I were single, I would totally add that last line about clams to my dating site profile.

Slyde said...

i love the way your supple ass hugs those shorts....

Verdant Earl said...

Avitable - it's one of Britney Spears biggest hits.

Faiqa - Right?

Slyde - my non-existent ass has never been supple.

Juke Box Canine said...

I'll come ALIVE tonight (stars in my eyes)!

Mrs. Hall said...

Um, I sent you an email a while ago when you asked what I thought you looked like in my mind's eye. I sent like 5 pix of the band Fugazi.

but, that was a while ago. so maybe you don't remember. well, it's all good... carry on ;)

Mrs. Hall said...

Wait, what now? What is that sign really saying?

Can someone explain what it really means to us people who are a bit slow?

justsomethoughts... said...

i can play the piano, but i'm not terribly experienced with the clam-opening bit.
maybe i'll have to look elsewhere for employment.

Dr Zibbs said...

I'm gonna photoshop Slyde doing jumping jacks in the background wearing a Speedo.

Verdant Earl said...

Doggie - yeah, who knew. right?

Holly - Wow. I don't remember that at all. Weird.

Holly - It's just a joke. A beach town bar looking for a piano player/raw bar help. Get it?

Duder - that's a shame! :)

Zibbs - Oddly, I had to photoshop Slyde in a speedo doing jumping jacks OUT of the photo. He was just being ridiculous.

Slyde said...

zibbs: i can just email you the ORIGINAL picture of that and save you all the trouble..

Water Logged Canine said...

I open clams like I'm playing the piano...a bearded symphony.

Mrs. Hall said...

Dammit, no still I don't get it.

gah.

I also have the hardest time detecting sarcasm. Seriously, people always have to tell me, "Uh, that was just a joke".

ok, i'll try to figure out the joke some more then I'll just ask Mr. Hall. ;)

yeah, I am assuming this is a dirty joke though. I NEVER GET DIRTY JOKES!

cause i'm slow. and ride the short bus and all. ;)

Verdant Earl said...

Zibbs - he does have the original.

Doggie - see now you are getting filthy on us. Shame. Hey, didja spend some time in the sun?

Holly - Put it this way, what if the sign said "Piano Player Wanted. Must have dishwashing experience." Would you get it then?

Mrs. Hall said...

(hangs head in shame and sheepishness)

no Earl, it doesn't.

;)
