Headed to Orange Beach next week with the wife and friends, and the friends are dying to go to Flora-Bama.

What can I expect from this place?  I've heard it's the Mecca of rednecks, cougars, and debauchery, but I'm going with my wife.  So, um, cougars and debauchery are probably off the list of things to do.

Overrated in my opinion.  Especially after the storm destroyed it.  Rednecks are guaranteed, though, but that goes without saying in GS/OB.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

We stay within a mile of it every year in OB, and I have never made it inside.  I can tell you to expect many leather-clad bikers, based on the contents of their parking lot every time we drive by though.

It's a walled in spot on the beach that sells alcohol located on the Florida Alabama line.  What do you expect it to be like?  Wear galoshes.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

So far, I'm not liking the sound of this place.

I guess I can fake sick, and then command the wife to take care of me.  Then have the condo to ourselves while the friends go get drunk.   :pb:

The Place is a shit hole, With a ton of security.

Being the "landmark" that it is, the clientele is quite diverse.  Bikers, skanks, college chics, cougars, Frat boys, construction workers, tourists of all stripes.  It's "convention time" down there too, so could be anybody there.  The District Attorneys Assoc. has our conference at the Perdido Resort around the 4th of July every year.  I usually go there one night with a group.  Bottom line is it looks like a refuge camp where you can get beer, and at night it's crawling with cops.

Cops scare me. 

I had a problem at Innisfree one night with a drunk guy who thought it was funny to grab my wife's friend's ass.  I told him to stop and he threw a beer bottle at me.  When we were leaving, he run up behind me and grabbed me and tried to start a fight.  I stumbled into the road and two cops grabbed us. 

If the bouncer at the door hadn't come out to plead my case, I think I would have gone to jail that night.  I have no desire to experience that again.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I heard that...

Jimmy got caught smoking a joint out behind the bar, sitting in his car and they took him to jail.

The tip jar paid his bail.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
