The Thursday Thirteen – 08/06/2015

I’ve been living at the beach this week, and I don’t think it will come as any surprise that I’m ready to quit my job, win the lottery, and build a house next to the sand and surf. Each year it gets harder and harder to return to “The Real World,” because “The Real World” doesn’t have nearly enough fresh seafood in it, and it sure as hell doesn’t have a daily special that includes Pimento Cheese Shrimp Fritters. “The Real World” sucks sea monkey balls.
