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

  A Country Ruxpig is a lot like a Regular Ruxpig, except that its name
rhymes so much better with "country bumpkin." I'm afraid you'll have to
depend on the kindness of strangers for the definition to what a Ruxpig
might be, 'cause your credit card was declined and you only get so many
clues for free.

>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. When
you're still here three years from now, come back and try again. Until
then, you have a few 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 reserve further comments for your pitiful tastes in music... if
you should grow 'nads enough to post them here, that is.
  By the way, the (*) has to do with the fact that I, being a newbie to
this newsreader, accidentally replied to your personal address the first
time through, Mr. Help. I hope no one else uses your account, 'cause they
may not understand what's going on here. Gee.
    
  OMC: As I have said before, I knew Billy Ray Cyrus back when he was
  packing the Ragtime Lounge with hickettes every weekend. I really didn't
  want to go into this, since it is undoubtedely the most embarrassing
  musical moment in my life. Besides, I don't really feel any need to
  justify why I think Billy Ray is a low-talent guy. Anyway, this band I 
  was in happened to go up to the Ragtime one night to catch Billy's
  show. Unbeknownst to me or the rest of the band, our singer had 
  volunteered us to play Sly Dog's (that was his band's name, heh)
  third break. So, I found this out when Billy announced it as they were
  getting ready to leave the stage, and I was draining my fourth beer.
  As you might imagine, our little sit-in was quite the fiasco. I 
  would prefer to skip the details, but let's just say that where the
  gig we played, where the P.A. cabinet fell off and hit the mixer, was
  humorous, this incident was certainly *not*. But one detail which made
  me lose any respect I did have for Cyrus was when I ended up having to
  play "his" "guitar."  It was nothing more than a stage prop, I found
  out, when I hit that first chord... his amp was inaudible, and once we
  found the volume control, his guitar wasn't even close to being in
  tune with the bassist. I think you can extrapolate the rest of the
  story from there.
