Virgilene’s Mean
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/30/17 | Jimmy Reed

Posted on 04/30/2017 12:23:14 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

TEASING, GROWING UP ON THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA

Uncle Virgil wanted a son to name Virgil, Jr., but ended up with a bunch of girls. When the last one came along, Aunt Lillian refused to let the child be named after her father, reasoning that a girl named Virgil would be worse than a boy named Sue. Grudgingly, Auntie agreed to let Virgilene be the child’s middle name. Everybody but me called her Alice, her first name.

Virgilene was as uncomely as they come, and because her buckteeth poked out like a piranha’s, she was so ugly that she’d make a freight train take a dirt road. I not only made fun of her middle name, but also of her frightful fangs.

I don’t know why the Powers that Be allow him, it’s just annoying.

OK, so Jimmy Reed was a nasty kid and may very well be a nasty adult (assuming he’s an adult).

How does that contribute to the discourse anywhere?

Is there more to the story we’re supposed to know about?

OK here’s what we can do:

1) try to be the first one to reply, & post the link to the original article.

2) if not first on, ping all the responders to the link to the original article.

It takes time to crib the article, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find the original story & be the first to post the link to it.

I just wish people would ignore this hit-and-run poster’s blog-pimping. He does not even stick around to see the responses, and he does not answer FReemail.

I thought this was going to be the discovery of a long lost Jimmy Reed song. Was just watching some live clips of him on YouTube a little while ago.
