Isn't this Jeff Foxworthy character from Georgia or Alabama or something like that? Anyhow he must have jumped into a wood panelled station-wagon and visited Jellystone & Two-Dot, buying huckleberry chocolates with notepad in hand  .

Chy, that ought to maybe be a tour stop  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeff Foxworthy's comments on Montana If parking your car for the night involves an extension cord, You might live In Montana If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, You might live in Montana.

Wait a minute, just wait a gosh darn second! I think this Foxworthy guy, or his diciples, have gone digital in an unrepentent attempt to garner cheap laughs from every state in the Union.

John, You might be right! What say we be on the look out for this Foxworthy guy saying somethin' along the lines of...."You live in the second largest media market in the whole country and you have NO PROFESSION FOOTBALL TEAM, then you live in Montana!" Once he says THAT I'll be thinking that boy's sense of geography is WAY WAY OFF!!! (or as you infer, the dude's gone GENERIC on us!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I don't know Dwight. You live in California, and also have no professional football team 
But if a person combined the chargers/raiders/niners, you'd be off to a competitive start.
Wait a second, I hijacked my own thread. I've been duped.

I was raised out in the middle of nowhere SC. Little town called Jedburg. Untill i was 12 we had to drive 10 miles to get to a little tiny store called "speels grocery". mr Spell still gets up every morning and makes sandwiches for people who come by for lunch. Kind of place you can buy a glass bottle of Coke, pull up a chair and talk..
Sad part is Jedburg still does not have a traffice light. We did get a flashing light tho. But where else can you walk out the front door in your underwear at noon and no one sees you?
I live in what i call "the city" now. I hate it, houses too close together, people wanting to stop by and say hi, I really dont like Humans anymore lol
Dont like what you see??? Big red X in the top right of your screen will fix it!

"speels grocery". mr Spell Quote:
So is it Speels or Spell? You might want to invest in some type of spell checker or proof reading software. I'm not sayin'... I'm just sayin'.
