Oh, by the way...

... Vernon, my grandmother's husband, came through his hose-in-the-tummy operation all right.

Before going home, we stopped by Sonic, where we experienced proof that Livingston H. S. had let out classes: a jacked-up black rusty pickup speeding around the circuit with Rodney Carrington* blasting from the stereo- not merely loud, not merely drown-out-the-Sonic-outdoor-speakers-loud, but HOLY-FUCK-THAT'S-LOUD, before screeching into a spot to finally order something.

Class, all the way, that boy.

(Rodney Carrington? No, I didn't recognize it. I looked it up when I got home. At the time my jaw was dropping that someone would deliberately blast a song with the refrain, "Titties and beer, titties and beer gawd DAMN I love me them titties and beer, I motherfucking LOVE titties and beer," etc. in Livingston. Boy doesn't know it, but consequences will eventually come of that...)

That would make a great sig line, though.

Frank Zappa beat you (and Carrington) to it, according to Google. }:-{D

See, that's what I thought - I could have SWORN that one of Zappa's tours from the '70s was dubbed as such...

But I suppose said boy just wouldn't have the same cachet if he were blasting "I AM THE SLIME OOZING OUT FROM YOUR TV SET"...

Oh, but it was KUNTRY!!! So that makes it okay, because everyone in Livingston listens to KUNTRY, don't they?

Point one: a lot of Livingston folks believe that country hasn't been country since the advent of George Strait.

Point two: the genre of music is as nothing compared to the word "motherfucker" blaring at 110 decibels at a packed drive-through surrounded by residential houses across the street from an intermediate school that's just let out, two blocks away from a PRIMARY school that's just let out, and five blocks away from ANOTHER primary school that's just let out.

If Jimbo Billy Bob Bocephus Alonzo Bubba Hucklemuck keeps it up, the law of averages will catch up to his more-jack-than-thou ass.

The younger generation

I keep thinking that FLower Drum Song's complaint about the "younger generation" is a perpetual cycle, going from one generation to the next.
I remember the Sixties...hell,I lived through it (including a couple of tours in Viet Nam) and all we lacked was technology...Yeah, playing "Titties and Beer" at full blast is decidedly not the way to impress anybody except your own little clique...and not even then, sometimes. Perhaps this fellow (I hope it was a guy...) is trying to compensate for something. On the other hand, if that's all that is needed for this person to be happy, he's lucky (and naieve). And yes,in places like Livingston, Tx;( or anywhere else) he's going to develop a deep relationship with the local cops if he keeps doing things like that. I'm glad to hear that your Grandmother's husband is doing better, if only that it helps your Grandmother meet her bills. Have a happy Holiday season...
