This is old boys and I'm yesterday old flossy butts had one of them what she called a drippin party and it's just you know, it's a Christmas party and what she does is fixers up all kinds of Freshments and stuff and and she just invites a whole neighborhood. You don't you know and everybody can just kind of Drippin, you know and get them some to eat and you can stay long as you won't do it. It's a good chance to You know visit with people that you you don't get to see real often, you know and everybody in the neighborhood come down here to her house and So then barbarians come that's what they call them. That's not what I call them But that's what everybody names them down here and they good old boys.
They don't well You wouldn't want to get downwind them because they don't I don't think they keep clean that is I I don't think they take baths and you can smell them, you know, but like I say they're good old boys and they they come down here and They brought some whiskey to the party now old flossy butts you don't you don't believe in drinking, you know So they didn't bring it into the house. They took it out and if you wanted to If you want to get a drink of it, you know, you could go down there with them I mean they'd give you a drink of whiskey, but they didn't bring it in the house Flossy butts didn't know nothing about it And so I got me a little of it that I don't get much whiskey I don't drink much but you know special occasion like Christmas, you know, it's a good time to You know get your little taste and then boys. They make the old whiskey down there. It's up.
It's they know how to make it It's real good. So anyway, I got me some whiskey But I kind of embarrassed my girl Emily and I didn't I didn't name to but see flossy Butts is a is a good cook as she really is and she made some of these things They call them she calls them sausage balls and what they are I don't know how in the world she makes them But they a little old balls, you know made out kind of crusty and they got sausage inside of them somehow or other and they real real good I just I don't never get none unless I go to her house and she don't ever fix them except, you know for special occasions so anyway, I got me a whole handful of them and and my girl she it embarrassed her, you know She said that wasn't the way you supposed to behave at a party She said you just supposed to you'll get one or two of them and so I didn't know that I just like them so good and but I didn't know that that's what you were supposed to do So I told her I wouldn't never do that no more and I won't because I don't want to embarrass her But you know flossy, but she said it was all right She said get whatever you want, but if it's I don't want to be no embarrassment to my girl You know, I think the world of her and she probably was right. I probably shouldn't have did that But anyway, we had a good time down there, but what I wanted to tell you These old boys over these old couches and Doc Minton them Barbarians and that's the names, you know his name really is Doc and I don't know you know, he's not a doctor Lord he ain't he never been to been to school, but they named him Doc and I don't know why but anyway They come down here and of course old couches.
