Hey, all you collegiate types in Ohio, Michigan, Canada, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas, Andy’s Motel in Panama City Beach wants you all as our guests this Spring Break 2010.
Yes, even you hellions are welcome! Cough, cough, Ohio State. 🙂 Our manager is a fiery redhead, and she’s well-equipped to deal with your antics!
Andy’s Motel is located right on the beach. Mtv’s playground, Club LaVela is a short walk down the shore line. Jet Ski rentals, Dolphin tours, and parasailing are also within walking distance.
The time to plan is now! March is filling up fast.
Call our toll-free number 1-877-653-8999 or 1-850-230-8999!
this is from their website:
Our Motel is brand new rising from the destruction of Hurricane Opel.
sounds kinda like the beginning of a horror movie. don’t know if i’d go there. 😯
Andy’s was hit by Opal in the 90’s and Eloise in the 70’s. It’s been a family business for 50 years though. When hurricanes come, we leave. 🙂
When Katrina hit, my parents allowed people from Louisiana and Mississippi to stay for free, just so they’d have a roof over their heads.
You’d TOTALLY visit such nice people. 🙂
P.S. Mom and Pop need to update the website though.
😳 i thought you were being snarky. i’ve never been to panama city beach, but i’ve been to the west coast of floriduhhh, and the white sand beaches are beautiful. much nicer than the shitty old brown sand beaches we have here on the east side. i would definitely stay at andy’s motel, but the site really does need a bit of a facelift. maybe you can blingee it! 💡
Hard to tell the difference, eh? No worries. 🙂 Thanks to social media more than 500 people have seen this post today. The magic is on. 🙂
And Ric the Grumpy Lion has shown me a graph of the economy that has imbued my parents with some cautious optimism:
I’m feeling some Gloria Gaynor. 🙂
I kept looking for the kicker, for the sarcasm, for knife twist, and all it turns out to be is an announcement that you have parents and a life interest in a motel.
I dunno, I think I’ll go with nonnie and the horror movie…
Don’t you ever listen to Car Talk? This is the Shameless Commerce Department. 🙂
You’ll appreciate this knife twist about the business when I go off about a couple of icky guests:
Or a story I did on our resident artist. He illustrated a bit from Plato’s Symposium:
For horror I offer you: https://writechic.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/putting-the-hell-in-health-care/
and
Hell, I always thought it was the Shameless Carmerce Department.
The oldies in the motel reminds me of my days working with the public in hospitality and in retail. Brain hurt. Now I’m just a loving misanthrope (I love misanthropy.)
As for health care, yeah, the United States, possibly the most backward country in the world when it comes to health care. The poorest countries have poor health care because they can’t afford it (which often has something to do with the way the United States has treated and how it functions in the world), so they have an excuse. The ‘First World’ countries have solid health care for their citizens and make a big effort to maintain that. But the United States? We’re not poor so we don’t have that excuse. We have the means to institute a top notch national health care system, but we don’t. Hence, backwards, due to stupidity and greed. And the sick bastards in Washington. Pathetic.
Thanks for wading through all that. Is it Carmerce? That’s much more clever.
I don’t believe for one minute you’re a misanthrope. (I love that word though.)
I made that up about the Carmerce thing.
You don’t believe I’m a misanthrope? Dammit, I can’t get any respect!
No, in fact, you must be the reincarnation of Ric the Lion-Hearted fighting the good fights. 😀
I may swoon!
Well, my Dear. It just so happens that I have a bunch of young friends looking for a place to go for Spring Break. Mind if I share on Facebook?
B-man, please do. Business has been 66% of its former self during the recession. My parents are great people and worth trying to save. 🙂
Well, I also prefer Panama City Beach, because It is a one of most popular outdoor recreation spots in Florida.
Hi, FVR. Even though you’re competition, I’m going to leave your link, because we’re booked. 🙂
Still…call Andy’s first, peeps. Cancellations happen. You could get lucky.
Considerably, the post is actually the sweetest on this worthy topic. I agree with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your next updates. Saying thank you will not just be sufficient, for the wonderful lucidity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates. Delightful work and much success in your business enterprise!

He’s going to thirstily grab your rss?
Rude fellow. 😳
Ha! You’re too funny! 😆
Just kickstarting your day. Vrooom vrooom!
🙂
All that and selflessness, too. 🙂
I know, I know. But I had to hock my self in the depths of the recession. The pawn shop guy told me the other day that some little old lady in Nebraska claimed my self and put it on the mantle to remind her of her biker days. She used to ride with Hell’s Grannies MC out of Omaha.
Have you read my horoscope page? It will explain much about my mind, just in case you’ve got nothing better to do than laze around on panhandle beaches. Unique Horoscopes. They’re the only serial horoscopes in the business. Little links in the chain of stars. Well, sometimes.
(Dude’s crazy, ya know.)
(Yup, yup, yup.)
[Can’t find a smilie for crazy.]
