What Happens on the Vineyard.....

......Makes it onto the blog.
So, some observations of a bachelor party, 2010, a la Martha's Vineyard:
  • It's traditional to hear someone yelling Carlooooooooos at the end of a 62 mile bike ride.
  • Sometimes, playing drums 43 years can score you some pretty good gigs. Especially if you embrace anonymous volunteerism.
  • The Rising isn't that easy to find in the sunlight.
  • Hamburgers and hot dogs taste good even if you don't ride a bike.
  • Hockey overtime victories can sometimes be misconstrued for rude drivers.
  • Scott got a seven on that hole.
  • Carlos is a big boy, he knows how to swim, so it doesn't make sense to worry about him needlessly.
  • Scott parred the last two holes.
  • People besides Scott use Pinnacle golf balls.
  • Rule #1: Cardio.
  • Stop signs on the Vineyard don't really mean stop.
  • Neither do speed limit warnings.
  • Running on the beach sounds like a good idea at the time.
  • Barry's breakfast burrito is hot so be careful handling it.
  • Andrew (on his first bachelor party outing) knows the hours of Back Door Donuts better than anyone.
  • Karen, the June Bride, doesn't realize the importance of soup to some people.

Other than that, here's a quick recap of the weekend that was, with compromising photos left out to be used for later purposes.
