Well, I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE :!: There was this eatery. Pit Smoked Barb-Que. It was called "Dads Famous for Nothing Bar-Bque". Down the road a piece from me. Well, My cousin swore this was the best cue he had ever ate used to stop on the way home sometimes to get a few sandwiches for supper and one for his lunch bucket the next day. A good friend of mine also loved this place. Well...........It got closed...they were caught selling Barb-Qued DOGMEAT :!: TRUE STORY :!: KAHUNA

Friend Swampy,

Yep. "Fried Green Tomatoes" had a mean fella who wuz whuppin' a woman which led ta him ta hiz dessert. A big colored fella cooked him up good....'n they fed him ta the law. Cathy Lee Bates wuz in fat in that one too, but I dont like ta talk bout her cuz a what she done ta James Caan wid that sledge hammer in that writer-who-ran-off-in-the-snow movie. :|

It got ta rainin' last nite. Aint cold, jest wet.

There iz some bayous round here 'n little rivers which nobody but fishermen mess wid. I paddled a few jest cuz I wuz bored. I liked it 'n soon az my 12 step road off the whitewater let's me, I'm gwine ta float 'em agin. Funny how ya kin paddle along something where ya caint see nuthin' but trees 'n banks 'n critters 'n old tires 'n appliances, but ya caint see the miles 'n miles of cultivated land jest 20 yards away. The water stays so low, ya caint see out. I even got ta wonderin' how it looked back when they wrote them sea scrolls.

I guess if ya dont mind slow, muddy water 'n plastic bottles, it aint bad. :?

Folks who eat fish frum them bayous come in all varieties.....three arms, 9 toes, six eyes, etc.

bearridge the bored

reckon I'll have ta start readin' bout that danged digital camera agin :cry:

Friend Kahuna,

I wuz a barbecue Memphis in May judge fer a while, but then talkin' took over....not frum me. :lol: I would only blind judge cuz I never seen no point in the "on site" talkin'. I always volunteered fer shoulder 'n ribs, but it wuz quite a treat ta judge the open animal division. Mite have eat a dog....'er parrott....'er mebbe a warthog.

The Top Hat Bar BQ over in Bamalama wuz real fine. First time I eat there I seen rite off we wuz in the rite spot. I reckon they wuz 7-8 of us who had run the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior. We wuz houngry (you put a "o" in it when ya near bout starved). Some of us wuz libated up jest a bit.

What I seen took my breath rite off me! They wuz the fattest folks I ever seen in one big room. Next thang I got ta watchin' 'em shovel fried catfish 'n barbecue do wn. Man oh man! Nobody wuz over 400, but they wuz a heap a 350 pounders.

They wuz so busy they never noticed we looked like carnival workers. We camped bout 15 minutes away. We always pitched out tents close to big eatin' spots.

Big Boss Bob's over in Decatur, Bamalama is high on my list, but we used ta hit it on Sunday mornin' drivin' home. Them folks jest got frum church, so they took more notice that something bout us warnt rite. We wuz always loud 'n laughin', but we never talked bad cuz they wuz little pardners listenin'. They folks likely tole 'em to be good so they didnt turn out like us.

In Dillsboro, Caroliney they got a good barbecue spot just down the street frum the Dillard House. Had Heath Schuler jersey 'n pichurs on the wall.

You kin find a good barbecue spot, but ya gotta keep on the lookout. One day we wuz all comin' back frum the Big Piney over ta Russellville Ozarks when we pulled off in a little town out frum Helena. It wuz too small fer a name, but it had a barbecue shack....a good one too.

Finally, they iz Feltner's Whattaburgers in Russellville, jest across frum the college. I aint ever eat a better hamburger. First time I went ta eat there I wuz houngry az a bear. :wink: I wuz debatin' how many hamburgers 'n fries. The waitress sez I caint eat two hamburgers 'n fries too. She wuz rite. They had a heap a plaques 'n awards fer the best hamburger in Arkansas. Rite on Highway 7 that runs frum Branson to Hot Springs.
If ya ever drive this way, let me know. I'm kinda like MapQuest, cept fer barbecue.
:lol:
