Surfy Surfy inside the Circle of Doom
Surfy Surfy Surf Shop located in Leucadia, California is within the 50 mile evacuation zone in the case that the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant would ever suffer a meltdown. San Onofre is famous for having a classic family friendly surf spot and is close to the world famous spot Trestles. San Onofre also has the distinction of hosting the nuclear power plant with the worst safety record in America.

March 19, 2012Yea but a bunch a white guys put on the masks and dance around the beach in speedos. I’ve seen it. And they surf with their masks. Have BBQ with their masks on. i”ve seen it. God knows what else they do with their Lucha Libre masks on. In white san diego county this is what some of white people do for entertainment. Not me. But I’ve seen it. And scratched my head many a times. It sort of reminds me of pre-school kids with planet of the apes masks on from halloween dancing around. Bizarre.

March 19, 2012A dilapidated old nuclear reactor has the potential to destroy the ninth largest economy is the world and you guys argue about race.

March 19, 2012Why can only Mexicans wear the mask? Honestly don’t even know what that mask is? I’m gonna look it up… Heard it was a Taco shop in Mission Hills or something? Putting a Taco on my head or wearing a Taco mask is racist? Blacks and Mexicans can make fun of Whites, Jews, and other people, but when you make fun of them, they cry like little babies, and call the the Reverend Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Reverend White, who are true representatives and great examples of living by the Bible. What Kindergarden Sh*t! Gonna check this stuff out and get back…
