Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

"I'm afraid I can't do that... Dave"
Seriously, if a plane's AI sees the stats on military plane crashes re equipment failure vs pilot error, 10/10 that computer is throwing the meat in the seat out.
Those pretty white planes with red strips and curtains, that look like a big tylenol?Quote:

Shit, just google any list of cities with most attractive people and Chas always comes up.
The city and surrounding Lowcountry is beautiful, full stop. Beaches, marshes, architecture, history (its over a 100 years older than the country it's in), boating, fishing, golf/tennis, and truly amazing food (this can't be overstated; so much amazing food from Gullah to bbq to some of the best chefs/restaurants in the country). All this to say that its impossible to not find something to do on a date there.
I'm lucky in that I spent a large chunk of my life growing up and living in Lowcountry and still get to Chas several times throughout the year and its only gotten better. If you like sun and water and 100 year old live oaks draped in moss that shroud a beautiful city filled with smiling southern women looking to share a bite of some fresh seafood and a cold drink then you could do much worse than the Holy City.
As M2M points out. Go now, fall is the time for oyster roasts (great way to meet people) and the weather is amazing. Spring too. Winter is actually one of my favorite times to be in Lowcountry since all the tourists are gone and its still 60 and sunny.
That's why I followed up my response with fool. Fool.Quote:

I realize this being the TRGs this may not be a popular opinion, but it works for me.
And regarding NC skiing (or WV or NY or MI or any other non-gnar locale), to paraphrase Charlie Runkle, "turns is turns".
^^^^This, Better terrain than the midwest/central + better beaches than CA/OR/WA. Downside is season is short (but more like 8-12 weeks, not 4-6) and we get rained on a lot.Quote:
