Green Acres

by Miss Britt on April 3, 2007

Did you know that filet mignon does not always come wrapped in bacon?  With a little toothpick stuck in it?  Apparently, this is a practice reserved for “cheaper places” to add substance to the rare, and small, cut of meat.

You knew that?  Really?  WELL, this is news to me.

And did you also know that there are places where real people can have little people walk on their backs – just like in the movies?!!?  It’s a special “treatment” that will set you back more than a hundred bucks, but I have no doubt in my narrow little mind that it is worth every penny.  Of course, I don’t know for sure – because I’d never even HEARD of this shit until about three days ago!

It seems, despite my best efforts and grand show, I am a hick.  A small town, red neck, never done nuthin’ seen nuthin’ lived nuthin’ hick.  My poor Nana would be spinning in her grave if she had one.  I am mortified.  MORTIFIED I tell ya.

When did this happen to me?!?  How in the hell did I end up so… small?

And how long do you suppose it takes one to pack up an entire family and all of their belongings and high tail it on out of here to the closest Big City Offer?

    Oh, it’s worth it. I’ve had my back FIXED by an agile, forceful, hang-from-a-bar-and-kick-your-ass backwalker.

    You should send me your resume… I *do* get people gigs in NYC, you know.

    Did you know that in a real city, there are things to do other than driving around the parking lot of the local McDonald’s?

    And having sex with animals is frowned upon?

    And keeping extra cars in your yard is considered bad taste?

    You really need to get out of there.

    McDonalds……..there’s not any of those in a small town! I do remember that “old McDonalds” is closed on Sunday……..not really just an excuse to not take the kids for yet another indoor play day!

    I love the small town you, I am smal town too, but somehow I knew all those things! I am astonished that you didn’t!

    The back walking thing is a shiatzu manuver. I used to line up my male friends and walk on them. it was fun for me and good for them! but I was a trained professional. I liked rubbing people for money.

    I’ve got a couple of kids that would gladly walk on your back for a fraction of that pricy expensive treatment you’re talking about. They’ve been doing it to my back for years. FREE.
    Don’t tell ‘em people charge for that shit, I’ll have to start paying the brats.

    I stand corrected. You are right. Now, let’s nail Avi’s ass to the wall… that would be a better use of our time.

    Come and stay with me for awhile. I will show you all the finer parts of city living.

    I bought those steaks wrapped in bacon with a little plastic toothpick in them once. Who knew that I was supposed to take the toothpick out before I put them on the grill?

    Your Nana doesn’t have a grave? Did you have her stuffed, or what?

    She was cremated, so she’s in a little baggie in a box on a shelf in my mom’s living room – I think.

    And people think being buried is undignified.
