There are few types of people that hang out here in God's scrotum. We call it that because of the warm temperature and the occasional winter breezes from the cold of space when God takes his vacation and visits other planets.
The two most prolific types are under thirty. The surfer/skater boy is the first of the two. Athletic, sandy brown or blond hair, always wears a surfer/skater branded t-shirt, sneakers, board shorts, surfer/skater sunglasses, etc., he can usually be seen chasing or being chased by his equivalent, the surfer/skater girl. Her outfit consists of a bikini until sundown and a mini-dress or tight cotton pants and blouse for the evening.
The next type are the preps, also referred to as the "pop collars." They may also attend or have graduated from the University of NC Wilmington, but they are content to wear khaki cargo shorts and Izod (I shit you not!) polo shirts. They like to rock the polarized fisherman sunglasses to remind everyone that daddy owns a boat. Every
few sentences are sprinkled with the phrase "out on the boat today." Like, "I got so drunk on the boat today when we went over to Masonboro today on the boat."They are usually accompanied by their high school or college sorority sweethearts who are wearing sparkly dresses and sparkly shoes.
These are the two groups you are most likely to run into in a bar at WB. It's very important that you know how to approach these people and how to best deal with them. Most people ignore them or treat them with disdain. That is a mistake that you should not make. They are a wealth of information and entertainment and they are by far the most cordial and responsible of any of the other types that reside on the island. What does that say? It says stay the hell off this island if you can't deal with the above mentioned types because they will outnumber whatever little backwater town or grungy big city YOU came from. It's like visiting any zoo--treat the animals with respect and you leave with both arms.
