And from watching the video in the link, I got the impression that the chief may be in some of those pics as well.

I think you would enjoy the Buckhead area a lot. Also Savannah is a treat. Great food, funky cool southern vibe. Of course there is New Orleans. And even some of the real redneck places are worth a visit. No seriously, I think you would like the Asheville, NC area a lot. And I could even show you a good time in Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge. Dollywood is redneck at its finest. A real delight. Really. Now, I could also take you places that would leave your jaw on the ground from stunned shock at the scary clan-ish attitudes. I only go there to pick up the kids for visitation. Yes, my ex lives down there with her new man. He won't eat rice because he hates asains so much. And he is thrilled with our new muslim terrorist president.

A part of me really would love to check out Dollywood.

He did buy my 6 year old a pink camo ATV. Then proceeded to break his leg showing her how to ride it safely.

Originally Posted By Mr X <<<He won't eat rice because he hates asains so much.>>> Ah, but the question is, does he LIKE rice? If so, the moron is cutting off his nose to spite his face. People like that will never be happy..I know it's hard, but try and pity him.
Originally Posted By avro_imagineer <<<He won't eat rice because he hates asains so much.>>> In that case he should stay away from sticky rice, scented rice etc. Basmati is Indian, so maybe that too. But he could eat "Instant Rice", Parbroiled Rice, "Wild Rice" (NA Indian Rice)... Oh, to be ignorant of basics such as rice.

And he doesn't eat anything that isn't deep fried and slathered in gravy. 58 years old, already had a bypass, had his prostate removed, and has lukemia from working in the mines, and he still thinks the coal company is great. This is the same coal company that has a coal silo 150' (State law requires 300', but this one was granfathered) from my kids elementary school. The cool thing is there is a MASSIVE toxic sludge pond right above my kids elem. school that already has a leaking earthen dam. If the dam gives way it will flood the entire vally like the one in Tenn. last month. <a href="http://www.ohvec.org/action_alerts/2006/images/marsh_fork_elem.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.ohvec.org/action_al...elem.jpg</a> And look at all the coal dust that covers my kids school. I listen to all the Repubs talk about clean coal technology. What a huge steaming pile of crap. <a href="http://www.ohvec.org/action_alerts/2006/images/marsh_fork_elem.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.ohvec.org/action_al...elem.jpg</a>
