Thanks for posting this article. Now I know why the dinner guests all went wild after esting the gumbo.

"It was Gilliam's 15-year-old cousin, Clinton Ryan Tully, who stated for the search warrant that Gilliam may be growing marijuana in a backyard shed."
Sounds like this boy needs to be taken to the wood shed for a spell himself.

"I wouldn't say it's embarrassing, but I was surprised," he said. I'll say it for you then, chief. It's embarrassing.

QUESTION: What is the best way to serve okra?
ANSWER: To someone else.
To: Texas_Jarhead
Yes, I'd say Clint Ryan definitely has a well-deserved ass-whuppin' coming his way!! LOL!!

I can tell you've never had my grandmother's fried okra before. Truly one of my favorite southern dishes!!
To: MrLeRoy
Was it medicinal okra?

Now I know why the dinner guests all went wild after esting the gumbo. Straight out of "Reefer Madness," was it?

I guess it's sort of an acquired taste. My Mom (from Alabama) cooked a mean fried okra. The part I couldn't get past was the slimy insides. Maybe I should try some again...after all these years. Could be that somewhere along the way I....*gasp*.....grew up?!?
LOL!
To: MrLeRoy
How embarassing for the police. Geez.
Well at least grandma didn't get shot. They'll allways have that.

"I wouldn't say it's embarrassing, but I was surprised," he said. Translation: "Usually when we do stuff like this we get away with it clean."
To: EggsAckley
I tell you I didn't like okra as a kid, but now, man southern fried okra extra crispy? Man, that's good eatin'.

left out from this excerpt was the accusation of the police having stolen notebooks from the searched location.
The cop bossman Reff said:"You have to prove that something was actually stolen. He says it was stolen and they(cops) say it was not. Somehow we have to prove that a theft occurred"
I am sure that the first thing going through your mind as they put your face to the floor and the boot to your head is that you need a receipt for everything they take from your house as they search it.
Once again, cameras are everywhere except where they should be! Who is watching the watchers?
Every cop's gun, every search, every vehicle stop should be video documented in order that the people are not taken for a ride by setup lawsuits.
To: Texas_Jarhead
I guess I'm confused....I did a photo search and can't see how anybody could confuse okra with marijuana....
To: MrLeRoy
AAGGGGH!
Agricultural profiling!
