Grizzard was great! “Southern by the grace of God!” I can only imagine what he’d be writing now if he was still alive.

Lewis Grizzard is sorely missed. After numerous failed marriages, he was asked once if he planned to marry again. He replied instead that every two years, he would go out and find a woman he didn't like and buy her a house.

Once at a Georgia game, there were two UGA fans watching the bulldog mascot licking himself as dogs are custom to do. One of them says, "Gee, I wish I could do that." The other replied, "Man, that dog will bite you."

“Grizzard was great!”

I know. Sometimes when I was in a very “down” place, reading his books — compliations of his essays — was the only thing that could make me laugh.
