Many New Yorkers are freaking out over the prospect of a 100-year storm inundating Manhattan. But leave it to The Village Voice to inject a little humor. Today they have a bit of self-help advice in an article called “How to Find Your Hurricane Boyfriend.” Tar Heel men get some love in this humorous piece:
What use is a Wall Street trader or a nebbishy journalist in a time of a possible natural disaster? What you need is a strong, muscled type, someone who can hold a roof over your head in case it blows away in the wind (the roof), a man who has waist-high waders and a jolly laugh, and perhaps a few scars, a man who will not bogart your Xanax, nor feel conflicted about drinking water from a stream running down the Bowery. Where can you find such a man? We hear there are a lot in North Carolina. Note, also, that storm-chasers are the heroes of our time, but they are too busy chasing storms to talk to you right now.
