They look like cedar choppers.

Now, there's a correspondent who has spent some time in Austin. ;-)

At one point in the distant past, while living in Austin, I had some business associates, Austin natives all, who insulted each other by calling one another "cedar chopper." One guy could have been the inspiration for Boomhauer on "King of the Hill." He worked with his mother, who, while she had the requisite experience for the business, nonetheless started her day by polishing off a six-pack of Miller Lite. The Boomhauer guy had several other people from his family working in this business from time to time, and all of them were mentally malformed in one respect or another, to varying degrees. Just from outward appearances as to the rest of this bunch, it was never quite clear that incest was completely off the moral/ethical table, as it were.

One would call another a "cedar choppper," and the other would respond, "I'm a cedar chopper? No, you're a cedar chopper!" All these Bubbaland (South Austin, for the uninitiated) rednecks stumbling somewhat drunkenly about, calling each other "cedar choppers." And this would have been at 10:30 am.

There were times I wanted to point out that all of them, in fact, were cedar choppers, but I didn't think it was in my interest to chase off paying work.
