Shooting Victim Climbs On To Hood Of School Bus
I have so many questions. I know some of us aren't "morning people", but what could anger a person so much that shooting someone at 7:40am is the solution? Use your words! Next, you're a victim and running out to the street and climbing on to the h...

Wawa
Yesterday was the grand opening of the Wawa in Kill Devil Hills and you would have thought people showed up to greet the first astronauts to land on Mars. Wawa is a gas station, right? With food? I should probably commend their marketing people for building the brand and creating a big event, ...

The Minus 5 mph Rule
I don't know the actual start date, but the "Minus 5 mph" rule is in full-effect. Many drivers on the Outer Banks have apparently been instructed to drive 5 mph below the speed limit. It didn't come from me. I grew up on the D.C. beltway. I know how to drive like a complete...

Bring It On
I was informed via email that scammers are targeting parents of students from my son's college telling the parents their child is in jail and if immediate payment isn’t received the child will be shipped to the regional jail. I hope the scammers call me. They have no idea who they’re de...

Three Hots and a Cot = Retirement?
While growing up TV would portray drug addicts as young people who made bad decisions and lived on the streets. A couple weeks ago officers surveilled and arrested individuals from a house in Currituck County. Two of these guys are creeping up on retirement age!...

Oooh, I'm Scared
I received a notice in the mail that told me everyone would know if I voted or not. Who's mother is writing this copy? Are they actually trying to shame me in to voting? Will the next one threaten to send me to my room without dessert? I've done a lot of shameful things in my life....

The Breakers
The author of this article reached out to me for a quote. I warned her that I'm a very boring person. She must have believed me because I didn't make the final cut.

It was cool living across the street from the ocean, but the summer my wife and I lived at The Breakers (1994) was ex...

My New, Favorite Mini-Series
Last week I poked fun at the sheriff deputy who tased and shot a woman in Kill Devil Hills. The transcript below shows the victim was waayyy off the reservation. Here are some of my favorite parts.

"The callers proceed to accuse the woman of taking pictures of them....

Oops
They should have kept this in front of the school. What a great way to reinforce kids staying in school. That, or it would propagate a whole generation of people who couldn't spell scool, skool, skul, school.

Good Help Wanted

FUNNY HEADLINES
Really? Did they leave mementos, like the push-up bra they wore to work? Did they have a moment of silence? If so, what did they pray for? Maybe it was something like this: "Dear Jesus, thank you for the delici...
