THE CHUKKER ARCHIVES, MARCH 30, 2011
EAT CORNBREAD RAISE HELL was FIRST put on the wall of the Mens Room of The Chukker BY ME & on the wall of the Chukker Ladies Room BY MY LATE WIFE, SHARON, in about '88 or '89, back when Bruce Hopper owned it. I'd missed my 20th DOTHAN HIGH CLASS OF '68 Reunion but I'd immersed myself in '68 nostalgia. ECRH was a take off on our DHS Sr. '68 motto "RAISE HELL, GO NAKED". Well,"Eat Cornbread, Raise Hell" caught on and got "reprinted" all over the bar & then it caught on with the "bohemian crowd" in T-town. When you google "EAT CORNBREAD RAISE HELL" you get over 280 results & now they even got a EAT CORNBREAD RAISE HELL DOT COM !

"EAT CORNBREAD, RAISE HELL" was a piece of graffiti I put up in the Chukker Mens Room & I'm pretty sure my late wife, Sharon, put on the wall of the Ladies Room in about '88 or '89 back when Bruce Hopper owned it.

#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

#9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.

#8. If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7. Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5. A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

#4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

#3. A gun doesn't ask , "Do these new grips make me look fat?"

#2. A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the number one reason a gun is favored over a woman....

#1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A GUN

Dr. Rose told a group of us male students the story about Capp after he announced he was going to resign as President of the University. He told us his main reason for resigning was Gov. Wallace but he told us some stories about how bad his job could be. Dr. Rose despised Al Capp.
The incident @ Bama is mentioned in Al Capp's FBI files obtained under the Freedom Of Information Act:
"wherein Capp reportedly indecently exposed himself. Another similar charge against Capp was mentioned in a Jack Anderson column on 4-22-71, which alleged he made indecent advances towards four coeds at the University of Alabama approximately three years ago."

Just talked to Nix about Hammond. Started talking about "the meaning of life" & stuff & I told Nix I wanted to live to be 81 so I could become a spokesperson for Match.com or some competing site. Nix told me this incredible story about getting drunk with Ronnie Van Zant & talking about Duane in somewhere like an airport bar in Indianapolis. Van Zant summed it all up,
"I wanna live to be 90 yrs. old & get knocked in the back of the head by a jealous husband!"
