Oh, Kentucky. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this video clip of Ernie "I try not to smile, 'cause I got my teeth knocked out by a chainsaw" Brown, Jr. AKA Turtle Man.

Southerners get a bad rap on lots of counts, and I for one am ready to see the stereotype change. So people from the south are more likely to hunt, fish, and involve themselves in any event that allows them to go drinking in nature. Isn't that what this country was founded on? Where would we be, in a historic sense, without the outdoorsmen -- the seasoned frontiersmen who settled 99% of America with nothing more than leather pents and a gun?
