“The Devil Went Down In Georgia” (parody based on the Charlie Daniels song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”)

“The Devil Went Down In Georgia” (parody based on the Charlie Daniels song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”) The devil went down in Georgia He was lookin’ for some votes to steal He bitched and whined because he was way behind And he said the numbers weren’t real So, he found some like-minded ghouls and goblins who couldn’t count worth a shit A teacher gave ‘em a device with numbers on it; they said, “What the fuck is this?!?” So, the devil told Ghouliani, “Find this exact number” Ghouliani waddled, shit-faced, but said, “Hey, no problem!” The other ghouls and goblins followed - dumb as rocks, loyal to Satan Who was epically stupid himself; he just had all the power over them   The number - it is always in the last place you look Well, no shit there, Sherlock, but it doesn’t exist, so y’all are quite bigly fucked   The lil helpers scrounge around, till the cupboards are bare Only “Bad Dad” mugs are found, and the devil’s gettin’ scared Befor...

The Country Stereotype

It may be wrong, but it's still funny. What do many people stereotype country music as depicting? Perhaps a guy wearing overalls, sitting with his back against a large tree next to his dog and a gun pointed directly toward himself. Of course, he owned a truck as well. Yes, cheerful times indeed! Well, this stereotype came to life for me. No, not for me personally, but there were some former neighbors of mine, whom live in a house behind ours, and as I walked my dogs a while back, all I could do was laugh. I walked my dogs and noticed some depressing country music emanating from somewhere. Then, from the back of their house, emerged this big truck, with a middle-aged man driving, his dog in the passenger seat and depressing country music blaring out his speakers. I couldn't hear too many of the lyrics, but I overheard three distinct words: "dog," "gun" and "truck." I don't know how accurate this country stereotype is, but on that day, at tha...
