And so moonshine had nothing to do with it?

I saw a tee shirt the other day that read...

Paddle harder, I hear banjos.

I saw the same tee shirt, I think. It had sweat rings under the arms.

Also generational membership in the Democrat Party.

Heck! Moonshine’s what gave them the disease, they were probably drinking it as it dripped out of the coil.

I’d love to see some pictures of these two clans.

McCoy: Hey! Them's fight'n words!

Where I live this is a common illness also known as Joe-Bob Syndrome.

Dixie ping, stainless? Interesting info related to the Hatfield-McCoy feud.

(Doesn’t explain “Devil Anse” Hatfield, though. Didn’t we have a FReeper by that name at some point?)

Iirc, the Ran McCoy family had 14 children, and the Anderson Hatfield family had 18, but it might be the other way around. They’re my idols :-). “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. He shall not be put to shame when he confronts his enemies in the gate.”

Thanks. They look like they could put up a fight. Looks like a bullet-proof house too.

Ping for tomorrow.

Judging from this photo, it appears that firearms safety wasn’t high on their list of concerns.

Guy on the far right looks just like a young Sam Elliot.

If it were biological, how would it stop as described? The medical explanation misses a few things, I think.
