hopefully people know this, 20 years later...?

That's a real good one. 
Sounds like one of my neighbors. 

Lakeport could give any part of Texas a run for its 
money when it comes to redneck stupidity. 
Not to mention drunkenness.
The only two businesses in downtown

Nice quiet place to live, though...
