19, 2006: Little Jerry's Mississippi Adventures
By Little Jerry and The Diesel
In the Fall of 2005, Little Jerry and The Diesel went on a crusade to bring the gift of sight to the hurricane ravaged south. What follows is their report:
Little Jerry continues to represent the BMTG well in Mississippi and N'awlins. Here he is in front of a Lunar Lander at a space center out here.
The roadkill on the side of the roads is much more interesting than California. In the Golden State we tend to have a lot of dogs, cats, and possums that get hit and die on the side of the road. I have seen a large deer that continues to get bigger every day as its stomach bloats. It looks like a sweet little deer sleeping on the road with a beer belly. The large lumps of brown fur are beavers and the gray ones are raccoons. All of them are much larger than I would have thought, about the size of a wiffle ball bucket. The animals that don't roll over to the side of the road are minced by mad truckers and vehicles traveling faster than on the autobahn. Blood and guts paint the road covering a large area. It looks as though someone took a couple buckets of blood (popular drink) and threw them about.
I
found the identification card of a Mississippian that has gone missing.
If anyone knows the wherabouts of Mr. Robert Waton Yarborough, Jr., e-mail the bmtg at bmtg@usesoap.com.
He's even lighter than Brother Nature at only 125 pounds.
In the South everyone mows their lawn. Every lawn is mowed - that includes
homes, businesses, freeways, and hobo camps. I don't have photos, as I seem
to leave the camera behind each time, but I have seen people mowing several
hours after dark on a riding mower. Yesterday I drove through a neighborhood
in Mississippi, about a mile from the Gulf, where a lady was mowing her lawn
with a push mower. Her house and other nearby houses were completely gone
and cars were on top of her neighbor's house. Like Sandman says, "A mowed
lawn is a happy lawn."
New
word:
Upperdecker - Go to a party and poop in the upper basin where the fresh water
that flushes out the toilet is stored. Whenever someone flushes they will
get more poop in the toilet.
Played Halo 2 against some Army guys for a few hours (MJ and Grenader). We
played Juggernaut up to twenty (2 vs 1, with last person to kill someone the
juggernaut). I was leading 15-0-0 until they came back and I fell to last
place 20-17-16. Quite different playing against guys who have loaded pistols
off their legs and knives in their boots. MRE's and M-16's lay around our
feet as we blasted each other on the TV.
