Pit History 101

OK, so you may be wondering just exactly where we got the name "The Pit" from. Well, that's a very long story, so for the moment I'll fill you with useless information about the beginning of....THE PIT.

The Pit Itself is actually a 3 Bedroom Home with a garage apartment. The owners of this home rented out the rooms to local college student attending local colleges and Universities in the Daytona Beach, FL area. The tenants, the owners, and their resident property manager/son all had a common interest, that being they were also members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The mood and theme of this residence is much as that of this blog, ALOT of useless information and plain silliness (much in the fashion of Monty Python, Jim Carrey, The Animaniac's, and lastly Beavis and Butthead.) The several souls to call The Pit home included the likes of the new young adult, moving out of Mom and Dad's house, the college student majoring in Film Production, the aspiring pilot who sought more dates in a day than flight hours in a plane, and so on!

The Name "The Pit" came actually from not a tenant, but rather from a frequent visitor and friend, Kevin, who was attending a local University (Grad School). You see, the home had two unique features in the back yard. A trampoline designed for divers (I.E. Greg Louganis) and a Pool. The pool was very unique as it had more algae and debris than it had water. It drew many jokes tying it to "The Pits of Despair" from "The Princess Bride". Thus would come the name that would forever identify this singles hang-out....THE PIT!

The two primary authors of this Blog, Ben and Mick were the longest tenants to this sacred edifice, and therefore serves as our inspiration here in feeding you nothing but useless information (Cuz frankly I need a break from my more stolid political blog!)
