SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge:
This Challenge! idea comes from our wonderful
MMario. For some strange
reason, this story kinda reminds me of the (seemingly neverending) presidential
election. ;-) So, buys your tickets and takes your chances, Challenge!rs . . .
We're going -- Freaky Frog Gigging . . . [Arkansas Democrat Gazette] -- Two local
men were seriously injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a
tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday morning. Woodruff County
Deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock are
listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident occurred as
the two men were returning to Des Arc after a frog-gigging trip. On an overcast
Sunday night, Poole's pick-up truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men
concluded that the headlight fuse on the older model truck had burned out.
As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber
bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering
wheel column. After inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate
properly and the two men proceeded toward the White River bridge. After
traveling about 20 miles and just before crossing the river, the bullet
apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle
swerved sharply right, exiting the pavement and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will
require surgery to repair the other wound. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle
and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when
Thurston shot his balls off or we might both be dead" stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for ten years in this part of the world, but this
is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident
happened," said Deputy Snyder. Upon being notified of the wreck,
Lavinia, Poole's wife, asked how many frogs
the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck. (Way to go, Lavinia).

Where'd he GO!__________BUD
Oh, I know!_____________WISE (continue as chant)
It just figgers,
It's those giggers!
Catch that truck!
Two tongues stuck
Two-frog-terror
in the rear-view mirror.
Now inside,
frogs will hide.
Find a way
To make 'em pay.
Revenge is nigh
rednecks die!!!!!
The plan they use?
Pull that fuse!
Can't drive on
Headlights gone
Put the fix
On two drunk hicks
Plant the thought.
How Poole ought
The fuse replace
with a bullet case.

Whisper to Poole
"Do it you fool"
Poole looks down
Space left round
Bullet fits fine

Bullet BANG!!!
Scrote hang
Teste puncture
No more functure.
It's a rule
Frog's no fool
If you cross 'em
You had better run like hell!
