This has been a test of the good ol' boy network. In the event of an actual emergency, you would have been told where to find the nearest Waffle House, and where to get some Beech-Nut. This has been a test.
Chiggers, when I think of chiggers, it makes me itch. Psychosomatic, I'm sure, but I always had a severe allergic reaction to them. Like crabs, allllll over.
I saw a patch of grass in Atlanta the other day, the developers are slipping...
Ok, I've had grits, been to Waffle Houses and even eaten Black Eyed Peas but WTF are you doing with Chiggers. I know they are biting parasites but if you Southerners are talking about eating them then you people are crazy.
Probably! But I don't understand this thread! I thought it was like a question of which you prefer to eat! Grits or Chiggers, you know like Fruit Loops or Captain Crunch? Enlighten me! Please! Am I like having a brunette moment here? By the way I like Grits! But anything with six legs, yes chiggers have six legs, I don't like...well unless its 3 very sexy guys!
We're live at Central Park where an epidemic has broken out. An epidemic of immense proportions. An epidemic of (pause) CHIGGERS.
Authorities have blamed certain right wing southern groups for the epidemic and are working on how to eradicate this plauge of itching. We here at 11 Alive Action News have called on our resident expert on all things southern, JimBob (Bubba) Smith for help in understanding this epidemic and how citizens can deal with the incessant itching.
JimBob, thanks for being here today. What exactly is a Chigger?
Huh?
Chiggers, Mr. Smith, what are they.
Oh, chiggers, them little noseeums? Nasty little devils, I'll tell you what!
Yes, but what are they, Mr Smith?
Chiggers be a little, tiny, teensy, bug. They bite cha and it hurts like the dickens.
What can one to do to combat the effects of a chigger bite, Bubba?
Huh?
How does one make the itching go away?
Huh?
What do YOU do when YOU are bitten by a "Chigger"?
Oh, what cha gotta do see, is make you a paste of buttermilk and baking sod-ee. Make it a thick paste too. Slap it on whatevers been itchin' ya' and it'll fell better straight away. If'n that don't work none, use bleach.
Bleach?
Yep.
Thank you once again for being here with us and for helping us cope with such a broad epidemic, Mr. Smith.
Huh?
Thanks.
Kay.
We now return you to the studio for more murder, mayhem, and destruction. This has been Dick Freely for 11 Alive Action News here in Central Park.
I'll choose the grits. I can always leave them on the table when I leave like I always do at the Cracker Barrel but you don't get a choice with chiggers.
