And everyone in town will tell you how FUCKING life changing Scratchy Dick’s will be, then you try it, and it’s, like, just not bad.

[–] Thunderbird4 13 points 4 months ago

Or worse: bad

[–] Nobody 62 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just be sure not to confuse it with Scratchy Dick's Big Fuck Shack (with crabs). Entirely different experience.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Yet, still passable with drawn butter and lemon wedges.

Wow, I grew up in Panama city beach, I've been to that place, my lil brother worked there lol

[–] FlyingSquid 37 points 4 months ago (4 children)

On the other hand, American beaches have far less old man dong swinging around.

[–] Aux 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, because Americans are prudes and are afraid of human bodies, sex and abortions.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 4 months ago (33 children)

I'm not afraid of any of those things, I just don't want to see some old guy's low-hanging ballsack.

Don't stare then

As an american, this is accurate... at least in the ""south"" Stupid religious cultural expectations/norms.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Haha, Is this a thing? I've been to one french beach and I opened my eyes to see a old man ball sack in a mesh speedo walking practically above me while laying out.

Those are kept in the nightstand at home.

On a clear day, you can see forever.

[–] thesporkeffect 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sounds made up but 100% literally true

[–] Volkditty 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I found several Le Nautiluses in beach towns in France, so it checks out so far.

It's entirely possible they still do, but I can confirm in the early 90's they sold T-shirts that said "I got crabs from Dirty Dicks."

Yep. Venereal parasite-themed seafood restaurants are what makes America special.

[–] TexasDrunk 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The question is: who stole that from whom? There are a lot of crab joints with that or similar marketing. Joe's Crab Shack asks "Got Crabs?" on the front, then lets you know "We Do" on the back. Tracy's King Crab Shack has a shirt that says "Tracy gave me crabs". It seems like a lot of seafood restaurants with crab in their name are itching to get you inside with their marketing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's a question worth a google search but I have no idea how to phrase it.

[–] TexasDrunk 3 points 4 months ago

"Who gave me crabs first?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I'm surprised how nice the website is.

[–] jacksilver 4 points 4 months ago

Another one from Ocean City, Maryland - Brass Balls Saloon

[–] Toneswirly 24 points 4 months ago

And its the only place open all week

[–] CluckN 24 points 4 months ago

Locals call it Scringos

[–] ninjabard 21 points 4 months ago

The locals just call it The Shack and it might just be a dirty tourist trap but damn if their wings don't slap and it has the cheapest and coldest beer on the beach.

[–] Shardikprime 18 points 4 months ago

In Latin America too but they call them Mandinga Ranchs, basically "The biggest black dick of the biggest black dicks ranch"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

fuck shack baby fuck shack

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Let's be honest, the Americans have better names

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Facts. Eggslut in Venice Beach is fire

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Every German beach town has a Tante Antjes Teestube or something similar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

In the future, they will all be Barbara's Rhabarberbar.

[–] camr_on 10 points 4 months ago

Shout out to Biscuits and Porn in the OBX

Does scratchy dick have something to do with salt life?

[–] pachrist 6 points 4 months ago

Nah, scratchy dick has everything to do with the sand and bits of shell in your shorts. The burn comes from the salt and the crabs.
