Sunny Side Up: Not Writing About Roadkill

November 30, 2020 by Philip Long

If you’re a regular reader of Nonahood News and, in particular, the best part – my insanely humorous column – then, I bet you’ve been wondering how I come up with such ingenious topics month in and month out. I mean, we live in Florida, right? When am I going to run out of material? I’m beginning to suspect never.  When I think I’m scraping the bottom of the swamp … [Read more...]

Sunny Side Up: The Real Florida Man, Part Two

October 31, 2020 by Philip Long

I think Florida Man gets a bad rap. Mostly from weirdos. If a “Florida man eats racoon raw” or a “Florida man marries alligator,” isn’t he simply a creep?

And when their children ask them what … [Read more...]

The topic of chores comes up a lot in my home. Maybe it’s because of the confines of COVID-19, but my astute wife has noted that I could comfortably live in a pig-sty. When she does, I remind her it could be worse; we could be stuck outside, where if the sun doesn’t get you, a gator, snake, or reckless driver will. Then, buzzards will pick at your bones. My wife sides with the … [Read more...]

Sunny Side Up: Vacation

August 6, 2020 by Philip Long

If you want to write something funny, it’s a good idea to think of something painful. Summer vacation sounds good. I’m on one. I can hear all my cute little nephews and nieces playing a game downstairs that sounds like a not-pleasant scene from Lord of the Flies.  We decided this year that instead of going somewhere cool and refreshing, we’d go to the beach. At least … [Read more...]
