Sol - loot

Another compliment for some more of the City’s REAL workers — the sewer guys. Yup, pumped out a sewer at 11 p.m. last night, then poor Frankie Buck had to come out and bring a pump to the 15th and Brown St. crew. It’s obvious who deserves to make $100,000 a year in this fair [...]

Southern Aristocracy Lives On

Proof that there still is an "elite" class of southerners:
Walking down E. Main St. this morning, I noticed a MeeMaw in a brand new big ol’ white Cadillac turning RIGHT (that’s WEST) towards the Baptist Church.  I waved to her to stop, she rolled down her window, I said, "This is a one-way street." Her [...]

a good citizen…

If we were to tell you to be in Washington the 28th and 29th, would you listen? If a mullet screams in the Pamlico River and no fisherman are nearby to hear it scream, did it really scream? If you were to eat dead swine with gusto, on the 29th of October, in Washington NC [...]

Wednesday fun

We don’t usually link to odd sites, but this is really strange… and fun. Are we the only ones who also find it a bit disturbing? As long as we’re linking — Europe has a new weather forecaster. Or as it is called on the website "SAM - Your weather’s man"

Yup, sure it did…

WDN reports, ad nauseum, about the pumps at Jack’s Creek. What a marvel of modern technology they are. Well… maybe so… someone needs to explain why crews have to manually open the "tide-flex" gates.  The hardest working men in Beaufort County? In the City of Washington? The men who get IN THE WATER, [...]

Disclaimer

So– I have never EVER called a County or City office to complain about service or personnel. Anyone who rec’d a call from "me" should know it wasn’t "me".
I use WashingtonNC.org as a forum, no verbal confrontations for me. If someone needs to know where I stand on an issue, on a [...]

wetjet me

It ain’t gonna’ happen. Swiffer WetJet cleaning fluid does not kill pets. Urban Myth.
But you know what will kill dogs? Grapes and raisins.

We’re glad you came to us for the facts about the rumor circulating. Swiffer Wet cloths and WetJet liquid solution do not contain antifreeze or any ingredient similar to it. In [...]

Stats and a storm called Vince

Between May 23, 2005 and Oct. 8, 2005, the index page of The Endless Chain Pig Club was accessed over 118,000 times. That’s not counting other content. Thanks…

"Vince is a very odd one," he said.
Only one other Atlantic season had more tropical storms and hurricanes since record keeping began in 1851 [...]

Just when you think the average IQ here might be above 75…

So, we’ve got this Tammy thing going on. Flooding on the streets. Third St. between Brown and Charlotte, to be exact. The area where the NEW Jack’s Creek pumping station is supposed to be all that and a piece of cake. Well… it ain’t working. The City workers, and God love them, thank you, [...]

The River of Strange is flooding…

Wow. It’s a real toad-strangler out there. A gully washer.  Our little river is overflowing it’s banks. My neighbor needs to move her car.
The clown dogs would not go outside by themselves. I had to take them out under the umbrella. Now that is a sad state of canine affairs. Why did I [...]

Okay, let’s begin…

Got all damn excited for no good reason. When I saw the headline in today’s WDN Rock-throwing report leads to drug arrest naturally I’m thinking "Hot diggity dawg, Barney Fife’s here to arrest Ernest T. Bass. Andy, get the bullet." Who among you does not love Ernest T. Bass, and who… who I ask… does [...]

Our Philosophy:

I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind - that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking. I believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious. I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war upon liberty... I believe that the evidence for immortality is no better than the evidence of witches, and deserves no more respect. I believe in the complete freedom of thought and speech... I believe in the capacity of man to conquer his world, and to find out what it is made of, and how it is run. I believe in the reality of progress. I - But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant. **HL Mencken
