Something Out of Alfred Hitchcock…
December 24, 2010
Long-time friends, Doug Rogers and Scott Sorensen, made local headline news this afternoon on a deserted dock at the Ft. Walton Beach Landing. But they weren’t alone. Apparently, according to eyewitness accounts, they bravely fended off a ‘gang’ of underfed, and whacked-out-on-bad-Koolaid seagulls. The devil birds have been sighted in past weeks terrorizing finches, mullet, and small children with Subway sandwiches.
As the beaked terrors circled and swooped, Doug and Scott immediately realized the situation could become worse. Armed only with day old bread and stale Sun Chips, the heroes took position for battle.
As one onlooker remarked, “It reminded me of the day when Doug and Scott would take the field for the Little League Chargers football team, holding strong and fast in defense of territorial turf.”
The boys stood firm, shouting PG-13 obscenities while torpedoing Bread-Sun-Chip-Ball-Wads at their attackers, and the pack of gulls soon realized this was no match for them. The feathered fiends swooped away and the crowd that had gathered at a nearby gazebo to view the aerial battle cheered in victory.
Scott and Doug’s wives, Connie and Johnie, were not available for comment. They were found just moments later quivering in fear near the Ladies bathroom.
