That's Good Eatin'

Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: (Looking through mailer) Would you like to go to Floyd's Barbecue?
me: Why would I want that?
Brenda: We could get $5.00 off any cut.
me: Any cut of what? (Looking at flyer for Floyd's Barbershop not Barbecue)
me: (Seeing picture of barber holding razor poised over a man's cheek) Looks like you can pick your own meat.
Brenda: Oh my God I need new glasses.

I'm old enough to remember cigarette ads on television. Most were (like all ads) ridiculously exaggerated concerning the adventures in coolness their product would bring. But these tobacco ads are intrinsically evil when promoting a product the manufacturers knew were killing people. Go »Preparing For Battle
Yesterday, I saw the first flakes of snow of this winter season. Today, I bought a new shovel. Brenda and I are preparing for a new house purchase this spring. Go »Christmas Post #16: A Hillbilly Christmas
My father was born and raised in North Carolina. Throughout my childhood we would make the summer trek to my Granny and Grandpaw's house in the middle of the state. Many a summer night passed listening to roosters (they crow all friggin' night), the occasional gator grunt, and my hillbilly cousins fart and scratch while playing cards.

WE ARE BACK! What a trip. Five flights, countless hours in layovers, endless treks from gate to gate, sometimes in limited timeframes, no meals except for snacks on the planes and no Wi-fi! Go »

I'm sure a modern-day update of Sweeney Todd could change the meat pies to BBQ.
