What Did Folks Down South Get Up To Last Week?

The Weekly Roundup:


Red Rears Result From Bull Run- Pensacola

This has it all..a running of the bulls where roller derby queens dress as devils and smack the runners with wiffle ball bats on their hind parts as they run through the streets.  Read it to believe...

Wanted: More "Funky" Public Gathering Places Wanted- Charlotte

Charlotte may have the banks but it doesn't have the funkiness.  Maybe Richmond, Austin and New Orleans need to watch out for a hostile takeover.

Vintage Clothes to-go- Huntsville

If it works to sell food out the side of a panel truck why not old bowling shirts?

Haven't our fighting men and women sacrificed enough?

PETA challenges new Possum Drop law- Raleigh

In the North Carolina mountains, they drop a possum to ring in the New Year and for some odd reason PETA has a problem with that.

Owner of offbeat Elvis museum found dead- Holly Springs

Lord, why didn't I get to see this when I had a chance.  Graceland too....

Chick-Fil-A may beat McDonald's in U.S. sales- Atlanta

Wouldn't surprise me a bit.  Regardless of your politics, there is no other fast food or really any restaurant that does a better job hiring, training and managing its employees for the customer experience.

Porcupine attacks on rise in Central Texas- Austin

If they start working together with skunks, possums and raccoons..no trashcan will be safe

KKK drumming up support for August rally in High Point- Winston-Salem

Sorry guys....but to say there will be thousands of supporters rallying needs clarification....there will be thousands of counter demonstrators but you guys will number about 10.  It's time to hang it up.

Threatened chicken delays Texas spaceflight plan- Midland

Again, more for the headline than an odd story.  I can just picture a chicken refusing to leave her nest on the launchpad.

Cobb inmate released, re-arrested for allegedly stealing jail shirt- Atlanta

Sounds like he and his jail shirt will be together a good bit longer.  Must be a really great shirt.
