He use to take my lunch money away and grab me around the back of my neck. He wore this huge LS belt buckle every. Fucking. Day. It was as big as a sewer lid.

It's not my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song by a long shot (and, yes, I do appreciate the LS oeuvre), that would be Sweet Home Alabama. You probably just haven't spent enough hot Southern summer nights riding around country roads with the windows down and can of lukewarm beer between your legs. It's not something I do anymore, but LS is a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. <br /><br />Also, we're coming to NYC and the end of the month and I will be reading your user's guide for tips.Here In Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249969885696185864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-17336621917337536322010-01-07T11:26:57.092-05:002010-01-07T11:26:57.092-05:00Maureen: Welcome!
