Redneck girl 01 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Brad Paisley and his wife named their second son Jasper...she had a dream the had a little boy and they named him Jasper...so when he was born they named him Jasper...it was in country weekly along with the article about George Strait bein ACM entertainer of the decade or whatever it is...n the article bout the Oak Ridge Boys comin back! Woo! anyways...their first son was named William Huckleberry Paisley not just Huckleberry Paisley...n they call him 'Huck'...but just wanted to tell y'all even though yer off the subject now that the new one was Jasper...That just makes me think of 'Twilight' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elly May Duke Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I know. i mean think of all those ones . . .girls specially but even guys even if they go camping they think it's gross. for us that's a way of life. I mean maybe i'm being biased here but i don't see how anbody could call a cityboy a real man. I mean unlike them countryboys will do anything for their kinfolk specially girls. I mean again kinda biased but seems to me that those of us in the south are smarter than they are. they may have better school systems and stuff but what's that if you can't live off the land?
