BBQ/Carhartt/Taylor Swift

I know there is much chatter on the Interwebs on the upcoming Weavys, but you will just have to wait because the Weavys are always announced during Thanksgiving Week, because we are thanking things for being Awesome.
  This Post is about Pulled Pork, since moving back to NC, Jennifer and I have attended the Lexington BBQ Festival every fall.  Although the actual BBQ at the festival is below the normal high standard for Lexington-we enjoy the festival.  Why?  I’ll tell you-

-Fried Apple Pies from The Church of the Prophecy of our Lord and Savior 7th Day Pentecostal Church-These Things will give you a religious experience

-People Watching-Better than the Dixie Classic Fair and Cheaper

-Entertainment-tons o music and acts and all free (Usually there are 2/3 Big Name Country Acts and then some up and coming talent)

-Parking-With roots deep into the great town of Lexington our parking is free and a block from the festival (Thanks Uncle J-Bo)

-Army/Navy Store-I always like visiting my Uncle Wank Wank at the store and on BBQ Festival Day, you really get to see the King of Carhartt and Lord of Levis in his element.  We also get to see Auntie Sheila who always has something witty to say, followed by “Lord, these people are crazy.”  This year Sheila was wearing a shirt that said “Squeeze a Boob” (Sheila recently kicked Breast Cancer’s Butt).

Overall, it is great to see the little town of Lexington packed with people.   To an outsider Lexington probably looks like many other small towns after the factories have been packed up and moved overseas, but I think there is still hope for the BBQ Capital of the World.  And to me, it is great to go and relive memories of my grandparents and see that old faded sign that my grandfather hand painted or have that random stranger say “You must be a Nance…”  We need less malls and more small towns…

What Up Dawg......

    So, I decided this post would be about my best four legged furry buddy-Macy Ralph Weaver.  I should prob. start by explaining Macy's name-Jennifer and I decided we wanted a dog and I decided I wanted a dog named Ralph.  We searched high and low for the perfect sized non-shedding dog and found it in Mocks-Vegas.  We went to look at the litter and the one we liked was a girl-hence the name Macy Ralph.
    Macy is an all around great dog but every since Graham graced us with his presence, my affection for Macy and her role in our little family has increased.  If you come over and are looking for Macy, just find Graham.  There is a 97% Chance they are chasing each other around or Graham is rolling around the floor and Macy is licking his face.  At Dinner time you will find Macy right under Graham's chair waiting for any and everything to drop.  The funny thing is Macy is a very picky eater and will not eat anything but meat from anyone else but Graham.  From Graham, Macy will eat anything including fruit, veggies, cheerios, and aninmal crackers.  So heres to Macy or as Graham calls her MAY, MAY, MAY!!!!

ACC Football and Brad Pitt

This Week I will give my predictions on the upcoming ACC Games-

FSU/BC-Easy Pick-FSU (Even Easier b/c they played last night)
Duke/Miami-Upset Alert-Dook but could care less
UVA/Maryland-WAHOOOO!!! Maryland should leave the ACC
Notre Dame/Wake-This is a hard one for me
#1-The Notre Dame Football Fans are the best in the land, and when B,E/Jennifer and I went to a game up there they could not have been nicer
#2-Living w/ the World's Biggest Wake Fan for 6 years made me hate everything about "Mother So Dear", Tye Dye, Black and Gold, and their ugly mascot (and his family-Pic Below)
#3-I actually really like Jim Grobe and feel Wake Fans are lucky to have him
So...................I'm going with the Deacs
UNC/STATE-My Pick is obvious, but I just look at the commercials below and decide for yourself-GO HEELS!!!!
or


And to get us ready for Bball

Monkeys and Mustaches

First the Monkey-
   There was a mean looking Monkey roaming around Forsyth County this week...
This monkey would go knock on doors and convince unknowing individuals to let him into their homes...
Once into the home the monkey would steal all the candy, but luckily he was captured....


MUSTACHES-
    Dear Friends, Family, Followers:
        I can not grow a musache.  But two of my friends that have gone through puberty and can grow facial hair have decided to risk their own careers/reputations and grow mustaches for what?  For the Kids....Please check out this website.....http://www.raleighm4k.com/ and help Justin and Brian out....
