A true - and disturbing story - of a good ole' boy "Hold my beer while I go swimmin' in the gator pond" and his kin.

CAUTION - Some rather disturbing stories and descriptions in the article about the culture that spawns such people in a Texas bayou.

2. Good story

3. I don't like this trend on DU.

This morning I’m finding multiple threads with no other purpose than to shame people and gossip among themselves about how stupid people are. Nothing to do with Democratic politics or voters, just finger pointing, snickering, random shaming.

It’s starting to get me down.

4. Not finger pointing, snickering or shaming

Just a story about a culture - you draw your own closed conclusions. I find such stories interesting and colorful and a break from politics, voters and the stupidity of our fascination with "Latest Breaking News" .

5. I think "Darwin Award winner" says a lot.

As I said, it seems to be a trend.

6. Stupid is as stupid does - Darwin or not

9. Perhaps the Lounge is a better place.

I don't have a problem with this type of story, and can not read them if I don't want to, usually Weird News or Lounge is a good place to see them.
