9. That was weird for a bit.

I live in a county that has less than one third of the population as the HIGH SCHOOL I attended in CA! For a few minutes, they had our population at better than 100,000.

17. Well, now we know what he was hunting...

yeah i'm a deer hunter how do you do
i got this deer huntin rappin tale for you

i'm so excited, it's my favorite time of year
i love to freeze my buns chasin trophy deer
but don't clap your hands to the stompin of the feet
cause ya he's like me he can't keep a steady beat no

i got this great big knife cause the hunting is my life
it's my chance to drink beer and get away from the wife
it's the boys night out acting stupidly
say now baby baby don't you think maybe how bout you and me yeah

well we partied all night
never made it to our bunks
and i was sittin in the tree stand on the tree dead drunk
windmill blowin 45, temp thirty below,
i was freezin to death, then it started to snow
so i got down from the tree stand
start headin for the truck
and thats when i seen it there, the turdy point buck
the turdy point buck?
turdy point buck (5x)

well he was eight foot tall, weighed twelve thousand pounds,
with every step there was a shakin' on the ground
he was so rutiful
so beautiful
strutted right out of my dreams,
he was created by God just for outdoor magazines
now i'm not much for thinkin,
no i don't do it often
but i had an idea
to put that turdy pointer in his coffin

turdy point buck
huh
turdy point buck

i couldn't get to my grenades
the howitzer was in the shop
my stomach was tied into a monkey knot
ya my only hope was betty lou, she was da one
a combination AK-57 uzi radar laser triple barrel double scoped heat-seakin shotgun

turdy point buck
huh
turdy point buck
turdy point buck

well he was comin for me gettin bigger and bigger
but my fingers were so frozen i could not pull the trigger
i kicked off my boots fired with my big toe
i was Dirty Harry, John Wayne, and G.I. Joe

ya dat turdy point buck was only ten feet away
ya still i couldn't seem to hit him and he wouldn't run away
and after twenty minutes
when the smoke cleared
there were hunters on the ground
and the world's biggest deer standing tall and proud,
he looked at me and yawned
and then a flash of white, and there he was, gone
