As anyone who has ever seen the cult classic Napoleon Dynamite can tell you, “girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.”
“You know, like … nun chuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills …”
Anyway, we’re wondering if Charles Atkinson of Manning, S.C. would quality for Napoleon’s definition based on this report from WLTX TV 19 (CBS – Columbia S.C.) …
… police say the suspect pulled out a pair of nun chucks, a weapon used in martial arts, and began swinging nun chucks at his son.
Investigators say he then turned the nun chucks on himself, in an effort to cause self injury.
When police arrived, he was arrested and charged with two counts of criminal domestic violence.
“Turned the nun chucks on himself?”
Only in South Carolina, people … or Mississippi.

You are so right!
“Only in South Carolina, people … or Mississippi.”
Our brief residence in Mississippi during my exploratory junior high years was the first time I had ever HEARD the word “nunchucks.” I also learned the word “narc” during that period of enlightenment. Both in the same evening. In a city park in the dog days of a waning lawless summer. It ranks quite high on the “Fond Memories of Adolescence” play list.
BTW — Mississippians are way ahead of SC’s learning curve.

High school friend from Atlanta married a guy from Mississippi and they lived in Jackson. On a visit home, she complained that her neighbors called her a “Yankee” because she was from Atlanta.

Are you sure this didn’t happen in Chesterfield County, specifically the town of Cheraw? Stuff like this is commonplace here.

Brains are good too, that chick is standing on the CSX main line in Marietta, GA right outside the Kennesaw House.

Unspeakably boss! Turning the chucks, from your kid, to yourself. Who does that?

True story. A high school basketball player from Bishopville was being highly recruited to play at USC. After weeks of anticipation he issued a press release saying that he was going to play at NC State for Jimmy Valvano. Asked why NC State? He said; he…” always wanted to play ball up North!” You gotta luv it.
