1. Buy local, please
I am sure we can make a very good one out of Louisiana cypress that will be good for at least a hundred thousand chops.

4. no
Ron died a long time ago, back in the mid 1990s. :cry:

We also no longer have Werlein's Music, the oldest music store in the USA. :cry:

We also lost 99.5 WRNO, the oldest and best rock and roll FM station. :cry:

1986 Record Ron's commercial:

5. Well shit hate to hear that. I gave him a few bucks over the years.
I probably still own 50 or more LPs purchased from him. Loaded up with a nice stash back about 20 years ago, but haven't been down there since.

6. Oh, almost forgot, DU needs a Swampy guillotine with the proper logos.
See what you can do.

7. Back in my day, we used axes
