Just Because It's Vodka Don't Mean We Should Get Communist on This Ole Boy

Bob Popplewell, the owner of Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch west of Fort Worth, was arrested for selling bottles of vodka containing dead baby rattlesnakes to East Asian immigrants. The charge was selling liquor without a license, since Texas has no law involving the selling of dead baby rattlesnakes without a license. This particular case got a lot of attention in the Texas media, and I’m not sure why, since most people would recognize rattlesnake-infused vodka as a common vending item at rattlesnake ranches, and the police paid no attention at all to the Lizard Grape Nehi that, in my opinion, has no place in a roadside reptile attraction.

You Texas folks, boy howdy! Why is it that it always seems like we poor southerners (more specifically, we in the southEAST) take the brunt of the redneck jokes? At least we handle our snakes with faith as opposed to liqouring them up so they're easy...come on Texas people, get some gonads! Wanna impress me? YOU drink the vodka, THEN grab that rattler (with faith, mind you).

Years ago, as a college student, I think I was involved with an incident in which liquor and snakes were present.
Details are yet a bit fuzzy. I do not have an arrest record to verify this.

Thanks, I can't wait till the Door gets a proper forum, finding answers to comments here is frustrating.

Door, are you listening?
