My great-grandfather used to run a "decoy" throw-away still right next to the road so the revenuers would not venture further into the woods and find the real operation.

When my grandfather died, my pop and I flew into Longview, TX and met up so we could go to the funeral together. Since the funeral was the day of our arrival, we both showed up in black suits, white shirts, with sunglasses because it's hotter than Satan's butthole in East Texas during summer.
My pop suggested that we should go see his childhood home since we had a couple of hours to burn, so we picked up our rental car (a black Crown Vic) and headed out to see the property.
The crackhead living in my pop's childhood home took one look at the two MIBs who climbed out of the black Crown Vic in his driveway and took off running across the pasture, shouting to his mama that the Feds were there.

Oh Texas was pretty back-assward when I was there. The attitude of the majority of the common public was very 1850's. Probably still that way.JayG wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 6:27 amIt was a different state back then when you were born. Not the eff'd up place it is now.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 10:06 am

That questions leads to numerous ideas for reply posts that would create havoc. That's close to the "Where do you put your cellphone" classic.

Is there any evidence to disprove the theory that MPawelek is an alt for Johnny Irish?
