Redneck Lane at Erudite Way
By The Erudite Redneck
Oh man. Boy are my worlds fixin' to crash!
The Oklahoma Historical Society annual meeting (erudite) is in Muskogee April 29-30.
The annual Calf Fry at the Tumbleweed in Stillwater (redneck) is April 29-30.
(Hit the link above to find out about the famous dancehall, where Garth Brook met his ex-wife Sandy, and a million other redneck love stories have played out over the years. Nowadays, there's a rodeo arena, and the Calf Fry has become a real big to-do, with country stars performin' and such. And, for the squeamish, they serve pork sandwiches, as well as calf fries.)
Ol' ER will be in attendance at both, some way somehow.
Full disclosure, fer any Yankees, goths, freaks, geeks and any other societal marginalia lurkin' about: Calf fries = testicles of the young bovine. In fact another name for the event at Stillwater is the Testicle Festival.
Mighty, mighty good eating.
The funniest thing I ever saw calf fry-wise was at the prep for a big annual fry in Wichita Falls, Texas, where they served hundreds and hundreds of people as many as they could eat.
Now, the best way to prepare them is to whack off the outer skin, then slice the inner meat thin, so they get real crispy when you deep-fry them. I knew each of the four wimmin who were in the big industrial kitchen at the big to-do place in town, and I knew the reason they were a-whacking and a-slicing -- and a-drinking -- with such glee was because each of them had divorced sorry sumbitch husbands within the past year. All four of 'em.
I knew this because that had freed each of 'em up for two-steppin' purposes and I had availed myself of them on the dance floor a couple times apiece.
When I pointed out to 'em the glee with which they were a-whacking and a-slicing, they all saw how they was all taking out their anger at their former menfolk subconciously on said calf fries.
We all had a big ol' laugh -- but I kept my back to 'em and the sturdy professional-grade Pentax camera around my neck a-setting low and strategically placed just the same.

That's a very nutty topic. It takes a lot of balls to come up with that subject, I'm sure.
And for those who didn't know, you could feed a family of four with two calves, cole slaw, french fries and beer. Gelded at youth, so just think how big they'd be had they matured. :-)
