Anyone else in Georgia?

[Evil Alpaca]

Just out of curiosity, is there anyone else posting here that is from the (not so) great state of Georgia? Or am I the only one with such a . . . distinguished honor?

I think Sal is, and Hugo and I both are just one state over.

Oh, Blacksnake's from Atlanta.

i heard
The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.

he came upon this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
and the devil jumped up on a hickory stump, and said, "boy, let me tell you what."

I'm pathetic

Hey EA
Coochie is from Ga, don't now exactly where.
I am just over the line in the state of uneducatable insanity. cloudy is a little further away.
I am only about 25 mins from West Point, less to the state as the crow flies, vut I have not convinced him to take me the short way yet. Something about weight....

Just to get this over with . . .

The devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cause
he was way behind, and he was willin' to make a deal, when he came across this young man
sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said,
"Boy, let me tell you what.

I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player, too. And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll
make a bet with you. Now, you play pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due. I'll bet
a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cause I think I'm better than you." The boy said, "My
name's Johnny, and it might be a sin. But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm
the best that's ever been."

Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard, 'cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and
the devil deals the cards. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold. But if you lose,
the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosined up his bow. And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded somethin' like this:

When the devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son, but sit down in that
chair right there and let me show you how it's done.

Fire on the mountain. Run, boys, run. The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun. Chicken in the
bread pan pickin' out dough. Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. And he laid that golden fiddle
on the ground at Johnny's feet. Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try
again. 'Cause I told you once, you son of a BITCH, I'm the best that's ever been."

It's been ten long years since the devil laid his fiddle at Johnny's feet

And it burned inside his mind the way he suffered that defeat
In the darkest pits of hell the devil hatched an evil plan
To tempt the fiddle player for he's just a mortal man
"The sin of pride," the devil cried is what will do you in
"I thought we had this settled, I'm the best there's ever been."

Johnny did you ever know that time keeps marching on
The coldest hour is the one comes just before the dawn
The devil's back in Georgia will you stand up to the test
Or will you let the devil be the best?

"In truth I haven't played much since the baby came in June
But give me half a minute an' I'll get this fiddle back in tune"

The devil grabbed the golden fiddle out of Johnny's hand and said
"Though I'm the fiddle player underground and I walk upon the land"

"Y'all just better be just turnin' back if you want this boy to win
'Cos practice is the only cure for the predicament he's in"

"Now devil it would be a sin for you to get my bow
You go on back to hell and to the wood shed I will go"

Johnny are you practising or will your hands grow cold?
The devil walks the land and plays a fiddle made of gold
Can you hear the babe a crying, will he ever know
The devil wants his daddy's very soul?

"Before we play I want to thank you for letting God's own Word ring true
He said you can't be trusted" "Yes but what you gonna do?"
"Well you get your fiddle devil if you think that you can win
'Cos I beat you once you old dog and I can whip your butt again"

John Brown's green, the devil is red
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
The devil's dream is that he can win
But Johnny is the best that's ever been

Actually, I was just looking to see if there were any like-minded people in the immediate vicinity who might be interested in getting together. I'm bored out of my mind, off of my ass and into oblivion.

 

[lil_elvis]

I'm not from Georgia, so you can scratch another name from the list.

I'm two hours, max, from Atlanta, furry one, so a day trip isn't out of the question at all.

That'd be fun, wouldn't it? A small southeastern gathering of those of us who REALLY probably don't belong in the South?

 

[hugo_sam]

Set a time and place.
may have to get Cloudy to get me, don't know it the wife will let me drive that far.
Otherwise I will try my best.
Love to at least get together with some of you guys

Hey, if people are seriously interested, it could be arranged. I could even meet you halfway (though what exactly is halfway between Atlanta and Alabama is beyond me).

Cows and corn fields.

How can 'you ' drive a bitchmobile? I thought those things required a bitch to operate.

In answer to your question EA. Nothing.
I finally broke down and looked up your city on a map and you don't live far from where my folks used to live.

That's the 285. It actually SURROUNDS Atlanta. Common mistake though.
