Extending Alabama's Cultural Hegemony, One Blog at a Time

Belated congratulations to Larry Anderson of Kudzu Acres for helping to birth a blog written by famed North Alabama barbecue chef, William Joseph Roberts, aka Billy Joe Bob, who lives quite near (some would say suspiciously so) to the good Mr. Anderson, and who also has occasional blogging help from his running buddy Cletus.

Billy Joe Bob and Cletus hold forth on a variety of world events, using small words, but big ideas. Lest any of you think that Mr. Roberts is merely a sock-puppet for a better known blogger, let me just say that I am offended that you would dare suggest such a thing about my first grand-blogchild! Why, if you keep that up, I won't show you all my pictures of him! In every aspect, our sweet BJB fulfills all requirements for inclusion in the Axis of Weevil, especially if the Calvinball rules are invoked heavily.

SO THEN, as is common practice, by the power vested in my by the State of Alabama Department of Agriculture (Weights and Measures Bureau) and the small, quiet voices in my head, it is with GREAT HONOR AND CHARITY that we, the Alabama Recoil and Chamber Music Society do hereby extend to Billy Joe Bob and his good friend Cletus, full and forcible membership within the mighty and powerful Axis of Weevil, granting him fully all the wondrous rights, benefits, and plausible deniability such status holds.

As with all new members of the Axis of Weevil, Billy Joe Bob will be sent the world-famous Axis of Weevil Gift Pack, consisting of Dreamland ribs, a gallon jug of Milo's sweet tea; a G-Lox Wedgee gun rack from Mark's Outdoor Sports for his pickup truck; a package of Bubba's Beef Jerky (according to Dr. Weevil, this is homemade and is available only at the gas station at the end of Highway 82 in Bibb County); a three piece, 24 ounce box of Priester's Pecan Logs; a box of Jim Dandy grits; a 16 ounce bottle of dale's Steak Sauce; and the best gift of all, a coupon for free Kool Seal for the top of his trailer roof, done by Jimmy from next door! (His condition does flare up now and again, so it would be best not to park too close to the trailer or some of the Kool Seal might slop over the edge and land on the roof of your truck.)

The management regrets to inform us that we must limit our Gift Packs to one per blog, meaning Billy Joe Bob and Cletus will have to come up with an equitable scheme for distributing their loot. We apologize for the inconvenience, but even Axes have budgets, and I have to get a new Aeron chair for my office, but that's neither here nor there.

ANYWAY, be sure to visit with Billy and Cletus, who are telling also telling possum stories this morning, right along with Meryl, and be sure and go see what BJB has to say about Hotty Toddy Lotty.
