To pay tribute to all the hillbillies out there, I’ve decided to go back in time and reflect on exactly who Milo Knight is. Here are the top 12 reasons I believe our little Bum is headed down the road of hillbilly-dom.
#12. What hillbilly doesn’t love a good corndog?
#11. Hillybillies are not afraid to cheer themselves on.
#10. Hillbillies love a good fist-pump.
#9. A true hillbilly is always up for a cold one with Pop.
#8. Hillbillies love Cracker Barrel…
#7. … And Ken Griffey, Jr.
#6. … And grabbing their crotches.
#5. You’ll often find a hillbilly wearing no shirt, and no shoes… but definitely a hat.
#4. Hillbillies love drivin’ stuff.
#3. But even more than drivin’ stuff, hillbillies like to show off their mullets…
… especially in front of the pretty ladies.
#2. Hillbillies don’t like to throw things out.
But the #1 reason that there is a good chance that Milo will become a hillbilly?
#1. Hillbillies come from hillbilly stock.
I’m sorry to all of you hillbillies who did not realize you were hillbillies until now.
You forgot to mention under “showing off in front of the ladies” that the lady in question is often a cousin. Milo loves them bum-kins!
I love the picture of Andrew at, I’m guessing, about age 11 or 12. It reminds me of a picture that I have of Frank with a mullet!
Y’all better git out here to Waynesville, back to the farm. Ah think we have sum skunks here at night cuz y’all kin smellum pretty good. Milo, you take it from Grandmaw, I miss you good, and kaint wait tuh squeeze those lil cheeks of yourn.
Hillbillies – heck yaaaah!
Love, Grandma, the dogs, horses, and the skunk!
Love your inner-hillbilly. Embrace it. Let’s be honest…hillbillies always have more fun than non-hillbillies. It seems Milo is already partaking in one of the most important hillbilly pastimes – breaking stuff. If I can offer some sage-like advice, I will say this: Teach him early that hair cuts are unnecessary, mustaches are mandatory, baths are optional, shoes are only worn to Church, and deodorant is merely perfume for your armpits…and hillbillies don’t wear perfume.
