It's the Fall Pilgrimage for bikers here in Myrtle Beach. We planned to go to Myabi for dinner, and when I parked in the back, I got a view of the stunt show going on behind The Dog House bar. This was around 5:30 p.m. this afternoon. The power line is in the foreground, by the way.
I used my Canon Xti Rebel for the pics, and then tweaked levels, contrasts, etc., with the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter.
The managers of Barefoot Landing are concerned about high-heel shoes.
Barefoot Landing is a shopping-dining-entertainment complex on the southern-most end of North Myrtle Beach. Many of the shops and restaurants are connected by a massive boardwalk, or maybe more like a giant, sprawling deck.
Apparently, someone was concerned that the back end of high-heel shoes might get stuck in the cracks between the wood planks, but the way the warning was worded doesn't seem to have come off with quite the same meaning.
Engraved on steps near the Christmas Mouse shop, the warning reads:
"High Heels May Cause Injury."
The first image in my mind: An angry woman beating me with the sharp end of a stiletto heel.
The second image in my mind: An extremely attractive woman in high heels.
Either way, I whole-heartedly agree: high heels may cause injury.
I don't have a picture for this one. I have a quote from Maggie, age 7.
We were on our way home from church when we passed a slender fellow, wearing jeans, a baseball cap, and a backpack, walking on the side of the road with a giant white cross. It could have been twelve feet tall. The crux was over his shoulder, and the bottom of the cross moved across the ground with two little wheels, like those on a child's wagon.
Maggie said, "Somebody's taking the cross home from church -- on wheels."
Two of the most unique names in
Myrtle Beach commercial real estate: Stokes Graves and Rusty Helm...
This notice appears on the playground at the YMCA in Myrtle Beach.
If I'm reading this correctly, it seems that supervising parents have to bring some appropriate play with them, but they need not worry about it before the school is closed.
Furthermore, inappropriate play is OK before the school is closed; however, I cannot tell if the inappropriate play is OK with or without parental supervision, only that it is allowable during hours of school operation.
And does your children know grammar?I shot this photo on S.C. 9 a couple of weeks ago, so perhaps someone has corrected it by now.
Of course, true to Baptist habit, Riverside Baptist Church is located barely a tenth of a mile from Ridgefield Baptist Church.
Thee Doll House is a well-known strip joint in Myrtle Beach. It's not "the doll house," it's "theeeee doll house," if you catch their drift.
Off to the right, you see a photo of Thee Doll House's sign.
Other institutions have been trying to ride the coattails of the "theeeee" designation. You can't make this stuff up.
Today's Myrtle Beach Moment comes from a billboard on S.C. 544 near the U.S. 17 overpass, technically in Surfside Beach.
Look closely -- as if his name isn't funny enough, he's wearing a headset, like those guys who do product demonstrations at the state fair.
Or is it an auction? "Lot Number 17, a well-worn Bible. Five gimme five gimme five gimme ten who's got ten gimme ten..."
Maybe he couldn't hold the mic because he's gonna bust some Brittany-style dance moves.
I bet the word really comes alive if the volume is too loud.
