(one last little zinger before I head out for my four-day golf tournament...see y'all!)
.
.
.

Toerag moved to Carolina, way up in the hills
To get away from those collectors waving unpaid bills
But hillfolk don't warm easily to strangers in their town
And, for six months he never had one neighbor come around.

    

He was sitting in his living room one day, pickin' his nose.
(he did that every day and boogers covered most his clothes)
When, suddenly, he heard loud knocking coming from his door,
A sound that, for his whole time there, he hadn't heard before.

    

He jumped up quickly, brushed his hair and hurried for the door
To see a mammoth of a man, two sixty - six feet four.
The words he said in southern drawl filled Toerag with delight..
"Yore invited to a party at my place on Friday night."

    

"Oh boy!", thought Toerag. "Finally I've been accepted here!"
"Sounds good to me", said Toe, .."and if you want I'll bring the beer!"
No one had even said hello in all his time spent there
And he would have a reason to finally change his underwear.

    

"I gotta tell ya", big man said. "Sometimes we drink a lot."
"No problem", answered Toerag. "I'll drink anything you got."
"I gotta tell ya", big man said. "Sometimes we like to fight."
"I've been around", said Toerag. "In a fight I'll do alright."

"I gotta tell ya", big man said. " A lotta sex goes on".
"Sounds great!" said Toe. "Been sitting here for six months all alone."
"What should I wear?", said Toe. "I dress up or just jeans and tee?"
"Don't matter none", the big man said. "It's only you and me."

Oh, my gawd! Toe picks his nose?!? When he told me he likes to pick--I thought he meant his guitar!!!

I guess if he had been isolated for six months, 260 pounds and 6 foot four might have looked pretty good to him! LOL

Good luck at your golf tournament! We'll probably be still laughing by the time you get back!

Toerag, sweets... you darling man
Now don't you be a frettin'...
If it's company you need
Why that's what you'll be gettin'! *G*
Now I'm not much, but I sure beat
That goon that's at your door...
True, can't say I'm purtier...
But I'm not six foot four!!!
So there's no need for you to sit
Alone even one more night -
Pick up the phone, this suthern gal
Will be on Southwest's next flight!

LOL... ya might know bugman would run away after leaving something like this... But that's okay... I hear you're out looking for your balls, Deer? LOL

Great grins for the morning. *S*

Oh yeahhhhh.  Ol' Toerag's gotta date!  Great shot across the bow, 'Deer.  Poor ol' Toe will have to dredge up some piece of slime for this one - heh.  And poor lil Belle - wringing her hands about the whole sordid mess in the hills.  I love it.

Hit 'em straight, Michael

Deer,
I think you can expect a foreclosure on your balls as soon as Toerag finds the club.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
