been there done that;)_s... we were out in the swamp one day when we were about 12 just as it was getting dark and the hogs were all around us... we called the place hog wild because it had so many hogs... but this time brothers they had us surrounded... you couldn't see them but you could hear them... not much out there gives me willies like the hogs... my buddy Colin (RIP brother) was in the front and he aint scared of nothing right and all of a sudden he is screaming like a girl and backing up and I have my hands on his back trying not to get knocked down and run over... and I'm like what ever is freaking my brother out like this I don't want to see it and just keep it up there with you babe... so he turns around and he has a big old cotton mouth hanging on his shirt;0 he saw it just in time to suck in his stomach and the thing just hit his shirt and got hung up... lol... I snatched that sucker a threw it in the swamp and said you fucking pussy;)... God looks after fools and children right... any other time you could yell and threaten those hogs and it would be on... they don't back down... you better kill it on the first try... but that scream he let out y'all scared away the hogs... it was blood curdling:)

TJW sure knows how to tell a story. This one, and Even Trolls Love Rock n Roll are my favorites. One song by him I really liked a lot was the flip side of Roosevelt and Ira Lee; The Migrant, but it hasn't been uploaded to YT yet.
