  Yep, that's what I said, all right. At least you didn't bother to
misquote me (or quote me out of context), but you'll learn, I'm sure...

>Jeff - just what is the definition of a "Country Ruxpig"  Sounds like to me
>that you have fixation about pigs.

  A Country Ruxpig is much like a normal Ruxpig, except that its name
rhymes so much better with "country bumpkin." As for what a Ruxpig is, I'm
afraid you'll have to depend on the kindness of strangers for the answer
to that one, 'cause your credit card was declined and you only get so many
clues for free.
  As for my fixation with pigs... get real. I've graduated to sheep!

>Jeff from reading your past message - you must be the asshole of the list.

  I beg your pardon?  That's MISTER List Asshole to you, newbie. If
you're still here three years from now, come and try again. Until then,
you have a lot of stripes to earn, and until you start talking about
music, you ain't a speck of shit on this list. Get used to it.
  I'll save the rest of my flames (and the bandwidth) for making fun of
your pitiful musical tastes... if you grow 'nads enough to post them.

  OMC: As I have said before, I knew Billy Ray Cyrus several years ago,
  back when he was fillin' up the Ragtime Lounge with lots of young
  hickettes. In fact (and I didn't want to go into this, but what the
  hell -- like I should *need* to defend the reason I think Billy Ray
  is a low-talent guy), one horrible night, one band I was with was
  there at the Ragtime. Unbeknownst to me and the rest of the band, our
  singer had volunteered us to play the 3rd break that night, and sure
  enough, Billy announces this (much to my surprise) as I'm draining my
  fourth beer. Well, our little sit-in was every bit the fiasco you
  could imagine it to be... let's just say that where the incident we
  had with the P.A. cabinet falling into the mixer was humorous, this
  incident was *not*, and it's still sufficiently embarrassing to me to
  want to skip the details. But one detail which made me lose a lot of
  respect for Billy was when I had to play "his" guitar that night. It
  was only used as a stage prop -- his amp wasn't even turned up to where
  you could hear it, and it wasn't in tune with the bass player, either
  (not even close). I think you can extrapolate most of the story from
  there.
