Know these street names in order and know they are actually the same road:
1. Saufley Field Road, Michigan Avenue, Beverly Parkway, Brent Lane, Bayou Boulevard, and Perry Avenue is one road.
2. Mobile Highway, Cervantes Street, Scenic Highway, and Highway 90 is one road.
3. Hwy 29, Pensacola Blvd, Pace Blvd, Barrancas Avenue, Gulf Beach Hwy, Sorrento Rd. and Perdido Key Blvd is also one road.

Eat fried mullet.

Cried when you learned that J's Bakery was closing and you celebrated upon its reopening.

Think a graffiti covered bridge is actually a local landmark instead of a vandalized eyesore.

Start most of your directions by saying "turn left at Jerry's Drive-In".

Call a drive to Nine Mile Road a "road trip".

Still call the corner of Garden and Alcaniz "The Sheraton".

You own a generator and have a year's supply of water and gas stockpiled for next year's hurricane season.

Remember when Pensacola Beach didn't resemble Beirut.

Continue to rebuild after every hurricane because, "why would you live anywhere else"?

Know where to go when someone says meet me at the sea shell.

Know that when a road gets freshly paved it won't be long before they tear it up because they need to fix something, they forgot to do something, they didn't do it right in the first place, or they need to widen it to add more lanes.

Gone to Alabama to buy illegal fireworks. To bring them back to Pensacola to shoot them at random things or people."

by the way.  did the blue angel crash last weekend even make national news?  it's been the front page story here for a week.   (the navy's "blue angel"  stunt plane team's home base is pensacola.)   we live about 3 miles from the navy base.  they practice every tuesday morning at 8 am.    so every tuesday i am treated to a free show just above my rooftop.  i would have thought it was cool when i was 8.  now it's just a bunch of noise....

[Tripp]

yeah, I saw it.

[bebopbalogna]

new dinosaur jr.(jloumurph) record out tuesday.  fuck yeah.

[attachment deleted by admin... had to make some room, kids]

[Tripp]

I used to be the biggest DinoJr. fan but I can't bring myself to get excited about this one.  The one song they released so far didn't blow me away. But neither did I loathe it.

I hope it's good.

[Kimmy]

I used to love them too........

I wish I had gone to see them when they played the deli here last year.......

[matthew]

I figured something like that...Dinosaur is playing here in June...and I couldn't get myself that excited about that either.

[bebopbalogna]

i'm excited.  i like pretty much everything they (he) has done but 'you're living....' and 'bug ' still stand out  as the best. if they can conjure even half of the spirit of those 2 records i'll be pleased.  i've seen them a couple times since the whole reunion thing. they played a couple songs i didn't recognize the last time i saw them(guesssing new ones) that sounded pretty great.  K__ has permanent hearing damage we can trace back to the j mascis and the fog show at the new daisy in 01, i think.   j's probably my favorite guitar player evah.
