Catching a B.Ser red handed...

[Badfish740]

Ya know those people that seem to crop up everywhere (work, school, the local bar, etc...) that just feel the need to tell extremely tall tales that have to "top it all?" The kind of people that everyone just sort of ignores because they don't want to be rude or argue? Today I just couldn't take it anymore.:v:

So we have this kid at work, young guy, kinda shifty looking but I'm not one to judge solely on looks. I give him a chance and talk to him even though everyone tells me he's weird and likes to tell outlandish stories. Today just put me over the top...

"Dude-I'm so beat, I didn't get home until 8:00 this morning..."

Ok, I'll bite-"Why didn't you get home until 8:00 this morning?"

"I went down to some beach near Atlantic City because my buddy had a room at the Borgata. Dude my truck (He has a Tahoe with a 454 that he talks about non-stop) kicked a-- out on the beach."

"What beach? You can't drive on the beaches in Atlantic City!"

"Oh it was near there but not in A.C., we hit up the poker room for a while and then we blew outta there cuz it was beat (Yea, ok, the Borgata poker room was beat on a Thursday night in summer before a huge holiday weekend) and then we went four wheeling."

"Where?"

"Oh I dunno, some long dirt road, it took like an hour to get there."

"What road did you take to get there?"

"Dude, I don't know, I was following some chick, all I know is it was dark as hell, but anyway we drove out to the beach and we paid the guy $6 and he told us not to be too loud but we could have a fire and take the trucks out."

"Uhhh, the only beach you can drive on is Island Beach which is really nowhere near A.C., plus you would have to cross over the bay to get there at some point so you couldn't have just taken some random dirt road. Finally you can't drive a vehicle on the beach without a permit which costs WAY more than $6, and there wouldn't be a guy there taking money anyway at 11:00 at night."

"No man I'm tellin you, I don't know where this place is but my buddy Tom does."

"Seriously, give it up, if Tom knows where it is, tell him to call me."

"Oh, he's not answering his phone, I dunno what he's doing."

Of course he's not...

So then I'm regaled with stories of raging bonfires, monster trucks with 40" tires roosting sand 30' in the air, beautiful girls dancing naked around a fire, fireworks going off, etc... After much merriment apparently the "Shore Patrol" showed up (no clue who they are) and told them they had to leave because dawn was approaching and families were coming to use the beach. They apparently had no problem (whoever they were) with the bonfire (which allegedly was started with enough gasoline to fill a tanker truck), the fireworks, the monster trucks, or the naked girls.

All I could say at that point was "No wonder your eyes are brown."

"Why?"

"Because apparently you're filled to the brim with bulls---!"

I just had to share that priceless gem with all of you...

I hate guys like that. The story does sound like total crap but there really is a place within a few minutes drive from the Borgota where you can drive on the beach and stay out there all night- Brigantine Beach. I've been spending summers in Brigantine since the late 70s. The South side of the island near the Jetty and the nearby cove area allows 4WD vehicles with a $130 permit. On the north side of the island where the Brigantine Castle used to stand begins a 4WD access area that goes on for several miles. and finally wraps around the North Inlet. Many Fishermen camp out on the north end all night. I've never seen bonfires on those beaches and they are patrolled throughout the night. My guess is maybe the kid cruised down the north end of brigantine with a bunch of others and lit a few twigs on fire. I think I'm going to go down there this weekend and hang out by the 4WD access road and charge kids $10 to enter the beach LOL!!

Ok this one hits home. I have my brigantine 4x4 pass. 160$ by the way not 130$. (Maybe for locals or seniors) The north end is currently shut down due to the darn piping plovers. There is a fence and you really cant pass it. Oh ya I work for chevy and a Tahoe never came with a 454. Anyway fires are illegal on the beach. And if he WAS up there with a fire and those birds then he would have probably been thrown in jail. NO fires and if you get caught up at the north end your in Deep doo doo. There is a party beach on the south end. Always see it crossing over the bridge into Brig. That is the only semi factual thing about his story. BUT Borgata is only a stones throw from Brig wouldnt take an hour. Also those 40"ers wouldnt be street legal. Ahhh hate people like that. :jeffd:

Yea,but don't they make an exception if you have naked chicks dancing around the fire? I mean if it were up to me........

 

[4x4Jim]

So true..

 

[long-a-coming]

I didn't know the North end is completely shut down. Once the piping plover are finished nesting they usually open it back up. The $160 dollars pisses me off. It used to be $50 not that long ago. I haven't had a beach permit since I totalled my truck so I'm a little out of the loop.
