Let's Go to the Beach Come on, it's a beautiful day. Let's play hooky -- come to the beach with me.→[More:]I'm bringing a blue tapestry blanket, and you can help me hold the corners down with smooth rocks. I like to be close to the water. I'm wearing my blue sarong and flip-flops. Hope my hair lightens up nicely. Hope the water's warm and the waves are big.

Is it a clothing optional beach? I like an all over tan.

That said, I'm bringing my (imaginary) new pink bikini, and my pink boogey board. Time to catch some waves!

I would, except we're having the mother of all thunderstorms right now. It's so bad I've lost my satellite signal.

Sure, why not? But when we go up to the boardwalk, please cover up the dangly bits, OK?

Okay, then you can come with me out to the forest, and we can go out in the rain to the big white stage rising up out of the ground like a temple.

We can laugh with the other misfits and incorrigibles and use our largest voices. Tramp around with mud on our shoes, drinking wine from a bottle and huddling together under a tin roof to smoke cigarettes and watch tendrils of mist uncoil from the trees.

Awrighty, I'll bring the frisbee (and maybe Frisbee, if I can convince her) and also the cricket bat.

Cricket Bat? Is this a British beach? If so can we divide into teams of Mods & Rockers and riot on the shore?

Not a bad idea, I think I'll take my hound out to the beach instead of the dog park today. I'll keep an eye out for you all, you should be easy to spot with jonmc's pasty white buttocks flashing like a lighthouse!

Watch out for the undertoe. It's got a big ol' bunion and it's feelin' grumpy.

Help me drill this beach umbrella into the sand? There's shade for everyone... and I got a cooler fulla Bud and Cider. Rub lotion on my back?

Sand sculpture contest begins in 20 minutes. Think up your designs now.

I'm going with the sand stegosaurus.

Who's got snacks? Being at the beach makes me hungry. I could go for some Cheetos.

Hmmm, I am walking distance from the shores of lovely Lake Michigan...don't tempt me!

ThePinkSuperhero is wearing an imaginary bikini to the beach? Yeeha! I'm going to imagine I'm not staring.

My hatred for the beach is eternal.

Pips, you're burning! Time to turn over.

Who wants to go in the water?

posted by Miko 13 June | 13:18

*huddles under Pips umbrella hoping she doesn't turn into a human torch and bogarts the Cheetos*

LT arrives via helicopter, catapults off the stabilizer bar whilst singing Women Drinking Whisky at the top of his lungs, lands sidesaddle on a buoy, sinks....

Aahh, the water is divine!
*dives under, comes up, shakes water from hair, squeals with glee, and dives back under!*
