Nothing against Greensboro; I know some fine people there, but the city is a typical boring white-bread clone-like city, virtually indistinguisable from countless others. Boring. |

I’ve just checked the NCGA website, and there’s a bill in Raleigh that seizes control of Asheville’s ‘vibe’, and re-distributes it to boring communities all over the state. Expect a lengthy court battle. |

“...there’s a bill in Raleigh that seizes control of Asheville’s ‘vibe’, and re-distributes it to boring communities all over the state.” Yes, but before any distribution begins, the secret vibe formula will be auctioned off to the highest bidding for-profit company, that will then be given preferential tax treatment (courtesy of those subsidy-loving NC taxpayers). Shortly thereafter, the winning company will begin production of the coveted product in China. Of course, an exclusive contract with (Great)Wal-Mart of China will be inked to sell it. |

A couple of people will make huge profits… so it’s all good. |

But didn’t the author know Asheville is a cesspool of sin, a veritable Sodom and Gomorrah. Greensborough is much safer staying white bread , homogonized and comfortably boring. Goodness to wish our plight upon the fine Citizens of Greensboro is practically blasphemous. |

For a moderately-priced franchise fee, you can open an Orbit DVD in Greensboro. |

Careful, Orbit. Don’t get too big too fast - that was Krispy Kreme’s mistake. |

Careful, Orbit. Don’t get too big too fast - that was Krispy Kreme’s mistake. Now that’s one stock that I wish I had purchased on day one. |

Not me. Mom taught me, if your Kreme is Krispy, it’s time to throw it out. Boom! Take that, Greensboro! Can’t get jokes like that down in the flatlands! |
