So I got my third one today! It isn't something I do even once a year but three success stories in my life...now it has become a hobby

I was heading into town today when I took notice of our local Barney Fife sitting in his favorite hiding place. Right after a bridge, and shielded by a bush for even perifial concealment. So I made a mental note of this and proceeded to head into town to drop of my letters and bills.

So I get done in town and I'm coming back the highway when I see a nice rig with stars and bars on the back window. For a moment I thought his rig may actually be bigger than my equally impressive "would bring a tear to any redneck's eye" rig so I pulled along side of him to size him up.

Wow, I took one look at this greasy gubber and instantly realized why the truck was leaning to the left. So I give a little toot-toot and crack a big ole smile behind a one finger salute. I couldn't really make out what the guy was yelling back but I did speed off yelling "northern pride forever."

The guy was playing catch-up when I downed my window and let my finger do the talking again. I was giving it good gas but let him inch pass me. No surprise, I next see a finger fly out his side window

So this bridge is about a mile away at this point and I slowly take it up to 85, then 90, then 95. This guy is all game and keeps steadfast to his "winning" distance ahead of me.

Here comes the bridge and I'm humming a little "She Be Coming Around the Mountain When She Comes..." Barney! You better have your net ready because I'm about to surface a big one!!!

Well I lay on the breaks just feet from the bridge and star-n-bars keeps going, peddle floored and rolling the coal. I look in my review mirror to see Barney light it up and burnout in the dirt As Barney flew past me I mumbled "Welcome to the north my little barefoot southern buddy *sigh* It is times like this where I wonder if there is a special place in hell for me"

Nah, not a bad person. More like a loser.

Here's hoping that Stars and Bars totin' redneck catches up with you someday.

And what does "perefial concealment" mean?

I'd guess it means OP is no more literate than the good ole boy he loves to hate.

Sooner or later this sort of gamesmanship will catch up with OP. Sooner, I hope.

Bad person? No, they're dumb to actually get into a race with you.

A complete and utter asswipe? Oh yes indeedy.

Idot seems to be the anwer that best can describe what I am thinking. In time Barney might move off while your thinking he is there;then your lilely to pay the piper. I am sure you will comeup with a goods story tho for barney when you call him or he arrives at the accident scene.Or you stop i your towen get out and see a guy that's face lights-up in recognition.Hopefully we get to see it on Utube sometime.

Nothing in your life will ever MAKE you what you are. It will only REVEAL what you are.

The title should have been Does Baiting People Into Responding To This Post Make Me A Bad Person?

I think he's getting the responses he was fishing for.
