Christmas 2011 will be celebrated here aboard the Colonel's vast holdings at the shallow northern end of deep southern nowhere with all of the joy and familial...
*** We interrupt the Colonel's latest literary libation to bring you the following crass commercial message.***
Due to overwhelming demand and underwhelming supply, the following Eegeebeegee Christmas Gift and Tallahatchie Free State Souvenir items have been sold out for this season, but will be available for advance ordering beginning in late Spring 2012:
The Comely and Kind-hearted Miss Brenda's Wild Blackberry Jam Sampler. Spoon a dollop of Miss Brenda's Wild Blackberry Jam on a hot buttered biscuit and take your taste-buds to a whole 'nuther existential plane. Blackberries lovingly hand-harvested by the citizens and legal residents of the Tallahatchie Free State at the height of their finger-staining ripeness. A six ounce jar for only $29.99, plus S & H. A bargain at twice that price!
The Semper Filet Souvenir Sawdust Display Board. Keep your family, friends, and the many guests in your home entertained with the ultimate conversation piece. A half dozen samples of the most prodigious product of the Colonel's sapling to sawdust process mounted on a rustic mill-sawn foot-long 1 x 6 board. All logs converted to lumber and sawdust come from timber harvested by the Colonel on the Colonel's timber plantation at the shallow northern end of deep southern nowhere. For a limited time only... $299.99 each, plus S & H. (The Colonel's signature $0.37 extra.)
The Colonel's Carbon Creator Special. For that special person on your gift list who has everything, but needs to leave a lasting legacy for his or her progeny. Prior to harvesting, the Colonel will name a tree in honor of the giftee. The tangible gift (in addition to the intangible personal knowledge of making a tree-hugger cry) is a framed collage of photographs depicting the Colonel's death-defying and maim-missing chain-saw dance 'round the base of the standing tree, the Colonel's death-defying and maim-missing chain-saw dismemberment of the fallen tree, the conversion of the tree's logs into lumber and sawdust, and the bonfire consummation of all tree products not converted to lumber and sawdust. Personalized with placards in each photo on which the giftee's name will be scrawled in a special ink composed of kudzu extract, loblolly pine charcoal, and North Mississippi red clay (aka Confederate Concrete). $499.99, plus S & H.
The Colonel's Bucket List Headliner. The trip of a lifetime! An all expense-paid working vacation aboard the Colonel's vast holdings at the shallow northern end of deep southern nowhere. Your stay will include 1/4 star accommodations and a customizable smorgasbord of chores aboard the Eegeebeegee Timber and Wildlife Plantation. Drive the Colonel's muddy red tractor, Semper Field. Operate the Colonel's toothy sawmill, Semper Fillet. Skinny-dip in Lake Brenda. Attend an ad hoc meeting of the Congress of the Tallahatchie Free State. Pick-up bed tour (in the back of the Colonel's rusty red pick-em truck, Semper Fillit) of Ole Miss and the cultural center of the southern universe -- Oxford, MS; available. $1999.99 per day. Photos with the Colonel at a small extra charge.
