redkneck Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was looking in the freezer thinking of what to cook today and saw some corn on the cob. Reminded me of a story daddy told me. When they were kids, my grandfather, like most ppl then, raised a few hogs. When cold weather came and got time to kill one or two, they'd do like most of us have done and put a round between the eyes. This always bothered papaw because he really liked to eat the brains. One day he had the bright idea and took a 12 ga round, cut out the shot and whittled down a cob to slide into the paper shell. He would simply knock out the hog and enjoy the brains after all. The man was also bad to drink i might add. When he pulled the trigger, the cob bounced off the hog, and hit him square between the eyes, knocking him to the ground. I dont know if the story has a moral, but i'm bored this morning..... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 That story should have been accompanied by a " do not try this at home" statement. Glad Gramps did not get hurt, but a funny story none the less:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think the moral of the story is, "If you're gonna eat brain, then have a brain and be careful it's not your own." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's pretty funny Red. Wonder if he fell to the ground after getting hit? If he would have been wearing a safety harness he wouldn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 As a kid growing up I had scrapple quite a bit for breakfast. Always wondered what it was made of. I figured scrap meat cuts. Then a buddy of mine took me on a friend of his dad's farm for the fiirearms deer season when I was around 15 or so. Mid day we were bored and walked around. We found the farmer in a shop room butchering a pig. The pig's head was on the table. I said what are you keeping that for? He said "Where do you think scrapple comes from?"
