(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." [This message has been edited by Balladeer (10-16-2002 10:02 PM).] |

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! EA |

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