Man I haven’t played Tunk in ages. Just googled it as a refresher. There is no mention of removing the “ends”
Aren’t the ends the 7, 8, and
9’s?


Folks have forgotten about tonk...spades and hearts have just about done away with tonk. I played tonk in the show...TVA tonk games are LEGENDARY....

As long as no one goes around disrespectin' nobody, it'll be fine.

LOL
Just young people acting like young people
Nothing to see here.



Ever witness spring break in Daytona or Fort Lauderdale? They are identical.

Black bikers like you are describing are cools as shite. If it had been a gathering of the city “bikers” on their crotch rockets, it would have been a different outcome for your enjoyment of that vacation.
And yes sometimes the pearl clutchers get ridiculously fired up about some things.
The young crowd who attends these black spring break things in the south are idiots in general. It’s been bad a few times In Biloxi in the recent past


My mom and dad did something similar when I was a kid in the 70s. Booked Daytona during bike week. Talk about being out of place...a young suburban family surrounded by hells angels and the like...nothing happened of course because it seldom does and it is just as likely to happen in Daytona on a Wednesday in November. Life is fraught with danger...

Not tipping for service because you are a cheap POS is disrespectful. Our son was going to LSU and waiting tables at the Texas Roadhouse. After Katrina evacuees were eating out ordering entrees and alcohol but not tipping. After a month of this he walked.

Anytime that the Double Tree is $500 a night, you know that it's going to get bad for that weekend.

Was it this past weekend 7, 8, and 9th, or this coming weekend 14, 15, and 16th?

If it was this past weekend, no one was there. The casinos were empty and machines were tight.

Leaving for Vegas this coming Saturday (15th) till next Wednesday. So, I picked a good weekend to skip the coast.

No, it’s not. What happened in Miami is more like it. 2 of the last 3 years the had to set curfews and had multiple shootings. Look at some of those videos and then look at Daytona and St. Augustine videos during Spring Break and tell me they are similar.

You see the hotels on the coast? They are some jacked up roach motels. They going for $500 a night. Best thing to do is if you have vacation days take them and get out of town. Chargers burnout and donuts incoming. My peoples.

Judging by the graduation rates of HBCUs seems like every week is spring break

I can remember when Freaknic would cause white folks in Atlanta to completely lose their minds.


Freaknik also caused black Atlanta mayors, black Atlanta Police Chief, and predominantly black city councils to do practically all they could do to make those kids uncomfortable, and to make them want to move the event to places like Biloxi and Daytona.

Has there ever been a town that had a long term relationship with spring break crowds? Not that I am aware of...everywhere that becomes the in spot lasts a few years, the town promotes it for a few years, gets fed up with it and makes the revelers as uncomfotable as possible....white, black, green or gold it happens everywhere...

I'm thinking 2 shootings. Countless fights, vandalism, and other crimes. Not to mention waiters/waitresses busting their asses for poor tips. If I was a waiter I would have diarrhea that week.
