You Southern Heritage Folks won't want to miss this stuff:
Saw a man eat 86 lbs of 'Dads oncet, true fact. The South is an amazing place and this was a skinnly white man too

James
 

True democrat stile, 85 lbs is about 3 or so lbs of meat, which is still a good feet.
I will look at my calendar tomarrow.

See ya

Ron

Re: James
 

Democrat style? It takes a Republican to think history's largest deficit is financial responsibility. Reagan's the one who said Catsup was a vegetable.
I thought it wqs cheating too, they weigh the whole 'dad but he doesn't eat the whole 'dad, no, just sucks the meat out with that swoopedy little tongue twiggle I've never been able to master (except in the bush hardehar)
Youre one of the ones I'm most looking forward to meet again, Ron, and cruising in yr latest rocket ship.
Dave!!?? You still there?? I want to stop and say hi to you and Darlene if you don't go to the Fest, we'll be going right through BR.
