Ha ha ha! I'll take a serving of that kind of pie anyday! You know that this thread caught MY attention. Yes, I can completely understand your thankfulness that it wasn't the Alabama Red Clay. He would be that color for ages! And thank goodness it wasn't a real swamp rat. Those are the ugliest things I have ever seen...it's like a possum and a rat bred! Yuck! No no, for those of us "down here," we can assure you, 'swamp rat' is not a figure of speech. If you think it is, come visit me and we can go Snipe Hunting.
