THIS is what I immediately think of when people say "Salt of the Earth"... 11:20 to 11:45 That happens within any culture, IMO. I've observed and participated in it in both personal and work relationships. It's not just a "Mountain Culture" thing. Cute video though. Don't let the way they tauk fullya. Theyz smot foks theya. I've worked in west Texas, spent time for various reasons in Louisiana over the decades -- not deep in any of the bayous (close enough to throw a stone), etc., throughout the state -- just spent time in the mountains of Arkansas along with other rural areas in Texas, etc. Great people, treat them with respect and you've got a friend for life. Most of them have done or seen things most of us could never appreciate. In many cases whether it is W. Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, eastern Montana or the farmlands of central Missouri, they're the forgotten people of our country -- while billions go to illegals -- these folks are over looked for healthcare, schools/education. Absolutely love this... And try to beat the late Buckwheat for a rocking concert.

After doing tree work today I'm feeling kind of STIFF. Some people will never know what it's like to be STIFF, SORE, and Tired. Are you done already Michael ? Sunrise to Sundown....that's only a half-day ! Run down to the park and do a few hundred burpees That ought to make you feel better , yeah I'll be taking off my week day job this week to do tree work. I guess I'm a thug and criminal because I'll be getting payed under the table cash money.

I spent a year off between high school and college working construction. The 90 degree day I spent shoveling pea gravel all day convinced me I was not made for that type of work. I had several other labor jobs working my way though college with no help from parents. Took me nine years to get a 4 yr degree because I would often work two full time jobs. Take one semester off so I could pay to go back the next. I don’t look down on anyone, white collar or blue on how they pay their bills as long as it’s ethical. You aren’t your job.

Sung to the tune of The Little Drummer Boy.
Little Hooters girl
Her rubber tight buns
A groovy pair to see
Double D fun
She brings me chicken wings
A ton, a ton, ton
She wears tight, skimpy things
Her tummy tight tum, rubber tight buns
Look at them guns
Oh, to ogle them
Her rubber tight buns
That's why we come
Little Hooters girl
She's not a dumb-dumb
She brings cold beer to me
and poured us all some
A birthday song they sang
with mighty big lungs
Across the bar they hang her
rubber tight bum, double D fun
Had her boobs done
Then she smiled at me,
I'll tip a big ton
Me and my chums
Look at them guns
Had her boobs done

Excellent stuff well said sir.
