  • Wiggletits, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4yea when you live in daytona beach spring break kinda losses its fun after 6 full weeks of progressively younger spring breaks start to arrive... it starts out strong with the college students and when our break is over the high school gets out and THEY think we are still parting so they come to the beach huge expectation,...and so on so fourth

  • inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1Hollywood's idea of "Spring Break" = just you and your buddy on the beach surrounded by hundreds of beautiful blond caucasian chicks

    Reality's idea of "Spring Break" = beach littered with hundreds of drunk, loud, horny, chunky, obnoxious neanderthal AFCs all hitting on a small handful of drunk skanks.
