Mark Byron Lays Forth an Assignment
Possumblog, your source for all your high-tech redneck needs (such as the newly introduced Skoll canholder attachment for Palm and the digital roofing hammer), wishes to thank Mr. Byron for the confidence shown in Mr. Curly Tail's ability to produce, on-demand, an essay about "How the South Saved Civilization." Apparently believing that I have a clue, Mark has placed a heavy burden upon my addled gray matter. HOWEVER, knowing that part of The Code is never to shirk from a challenge, I will now sequester myself in my furry nest and start making up a bunch of crap. Lying has a long and honored tradition and serves as a way to elevate the mind without all the hard work of actually educating yourself.

To be serious for a moment, it does seem that Mr. Byron has a pretty good handle on the good part of the South where "the small pleasures like good churches, good ribs and pretty girls (not necessarily in that order) are still appreciated."

Religion, food, and sex. Take one away, and the rest just don't matter much anymore.
