Last night my Cousin came over and visited for a few and we watched this great redneck revenge movie that just so happens to have an awesome and accurate theme song.

The plot is very simple the little guy gets shafted by the corporation and gets his revenge (involving a monster truck, A fire hose and the Great Johnny Pyacheck song) when a smalltown guy is sent to his hometown reorganize the brewery which is the main employer in the town. Then when he does suceed in getting the brewery up on its feet the corporte bstrd suits then decide to sell the brewery to a moron texan ballteam owner (Dubya?) which will probably result in the place closing down. The hero gets the girl, gets even iwith the suits and saves the day and the brewery by the end of the movie.

A little Trivia: Johnny Paycheck was from Greenfield which is right across the county from where I live and though I never met him I've met and know a few members of his family. He's kinda considered a hometown hero by Greenfield as there is a plaque on the house he grew up in and several benches and stuff around town.

I had also been in the bar the night before where he shot the guy in Hillsboro. Not surprising since that was the kind of place where they asked you at the door if you had a gun or a knife and if you didn't they gave you one. And this place used to be only a block from the police department (which did make it easier during the usual weekend barfight) but the city closed it down and renovated it into the offices for the water department a few years back.
