Comments on: Spanish Town Hijinx Ahoy! http://prettyfakes.com/2009/02/spanish-town-hijinx-ahoy/ Pouring bourbon on the line that separates art from trash. And then? Setting it on fire.

I was coming from Jackson, she from Brookhaven, so we met at the Stuckies and proceeded to the festivities in one car. After the thing was over we returned to the Stuckies and I dropped her back off at her car then got on the interstate heading north back to Jackson. While on the entrance ramp a car pulls up really close behind me and starts blinking their lights and honking their horn. I'm kind of freaked out at pulling over on the side of the interstate in the middle of the night at the behest of a strange car but do so anyway thinking there might be something wrong with my car that they've noticed. The car pulls in behind me and a women gets out, comes to my window and starts berating me for leaving a white girl alone at a gas station after dark (while pulling a stranger over on the interstate is a perfectly legit/safe action, apparently). I'd had a couple of beers at the shower and between that and the absurdity of what this woman did I lit into her with a explicit filled tirade that ran along the lines of what a crazy, redneck bitch she was, which she didn't seem to be expecting. I then sped off leaving her standing on the side of I-55. Funny Mississippi story about the Gallman Stuckies:

You can find that pecan log you've been craving, though you may have to look a little harder for it. Or you can drive up I-55 to Gallman. However, they no longer sell the Stuckey's 3-pack of comics, which we all remember included one Marvel, one DC, and, in the middle where you couldn't see it, one TERRIBLE CHARLTON COMIC. Oh yes.

Looking forward to Saturday. I'm off to buy Screwmosa fixins' this evening. I think by the time I was around to hear the story it contained elements of all 4 of those.

I hope it's C but I bet it's B. That would explain his constant meth use during the past year. Hmm. I hope it’s C but I bet it’s B. That would explain his constant meth use during the past year.
