Just saw one of those Confederate Flag Rallys going up and down US 71 in Fayetteville, AR.

Pick-up trucks and yahoos waving that rag, some beside the American flag. Maybe 15-20 in all. Disgusting.

and can't remember ever seeing a real-life Confederate flag back then outside of the Pea Ridge National Military Park. My main image of it as a kid was of Yosemite Sam as the last Confederate solider guarding the Mason-Dixon line in Southern Fried Rabbit

Perhaps you should travel back up the road and look for the wreckers and the flashing lights. I'm just saying.

I am keeping that in an open tab on my computer, so I don't have to go look it up every time!

I almost made myself physically ill laughing so hard, the first time I saw this. Still one of the funniest Youtube posts EVER!!!!
