If it was not Myrtle Beach I would say this was fake....

My wife and I married in Oct 99. Just weeks before I was to deploy to Saudi Arabia for 6 months. So we decided to do the honeymoon thing after I came home. I booked everything from Saudi. Short stop in Baltimore (stayed with my brother a couple days), then an overnight in Charleston WVa, on to Nashville for 2 weeks, and then the last week at Myrtle Beach, SC.

When I booked the hotel, the owner made it VERY clear that we were requesting a room during "Bike Week". Hell, NO PROBLEM! The wife and I both ride. We like the same music. We both have our share of tattoos. We'd fit right in, right? Hmmm... WRONG.

As we're approaching Myrtle Beach, we see this HUGE orange (very light skinned black) ass in a thong hanging off the back of a crotch rocket. It wasn't until we were right next to the bike that we could see the driver, a very small and skinny black man. My wife's comment was "If this is bike week, shouldn't they be going the other direction?" I laughed, but she was right. Bike Week isn't exactly the place that black bikers want to hang out.

ANYWAY, it didn't take long for us to discover the real truth. This wasn't "Bike Week", that happened 2 weeks earlier. This was "Black Bike Week". So here we were, the only 2 white people in the entire hotel. Hell, we think we were the only 2 whites for a block in either direction! We were never, not one time, harrassed or threatened by anyone, don't get me wrong. Everyone we met was friendly and polite to us. We had a wonderful time during the day. But at night? Holy hell !! The MUSIC until 9am. Bass that would shake the entire hotel. Squealing tires and races on the main drag. Breaking bottles. Fights. More LOUD MUSIC. Screaming, shouting, yelling fightingfugingracingpolicesirensambulances STOP! And there was so much refer smoked outside the hotel we could smell it in our room which was away from the parking lot (not that THAT really bothered me much).

Well, we late at night from Nashville. Didn't sleep that night. Spent 2 more days there and left in the middle of the 3rd night. 3 days early with no refund. We drove for 50 miles and slept for 6 hours at a rest stop in our rental car.

The maid came in twice all week, and the second time she asked my wife for a beer. We locked our valuables in the car after that.

:lol:

Hey you folks out there are just plain spoiled. Here in the LA area, they charge extra for that kind of service. Besides, who wouldn't enjoy a beer during work?

    • Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then. 
    • You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
