I'm going to stick with Texas barbeque and unsweetened tea. I would love to visit NC one of these days. I'll be sure to stop by and wave and I'll be back tomorrow!

Frank, this was fun! It was a great idea. I will do it again if I move.

UR, I am a native Phoenician so barbecue to me is not ground up, but rather the whole thing with sweet sauce. I did get used to it though and I like a sandwich with coleslaw on it. Sweet tea I just cannot do.

nonamedufus, so far my teeth are my own and I stay away from the tea. The Outer Banks is fabulous, I love it and we go there as often as possible.

Douglas, a man after my own heart! I love a big slab of barbecued ribs!

FishHawk, I can eat the barbecue if it offered but would never pay for it.

Sandee, we fish a lot here and go out of town frequently. Luckily I have 11 acres to play around on.

Da Old Man, it sure is. There are some great things here but not real close.
Don, Stovall is very close to the Virginia border in the north. Bullock is my address and it is about 9 miles from the Va. border.

Wow! This place sounds...you know. It's really...it's really a place, you know? Kind of reminds me of the village I lived in for five years in my early teens. Country. Cows. Sheep. Yep, much the same, except no orphanage. But the people were really nice. To each other. Not so much to outsiders, which included anyone who hadn't lived there for at least three generations. Nice place. So's Stovall.

If you need me, I'll be back in the bus. Bring me back a sweet tea.

Cool. Could I have passed through Stovall going to Nags Head from Charlotte. That name is very familiar to me, and I've been to tobacco country a few times.

Wow, you sure do live in an exciting area. LOL ...

Wow, you sure do live in an exciting area.

LOL

I'd go crazy with all that nothing, though I do love sweet tea.

Good grief. Your town is even more boring than Crotchety. Bwahahahahaha. I do remember cow tipping. We did that in my old hometown. It was pretty much a boring place too.

Have a terrific day. :)

Oh how I love barbeque, but oh how I hate vinegar-based sauces. YUCK!!! Puht! Puht! Puht! (That was me trying to spit the stuff out.)

You had me at sugar tits but then you lost me at pureed pork. If this crime is not worthy of the death penalty then no such crime exists.

What a great sounding place. I'm presuming that since you're not from there you've got a full set of teeth, eh, Etta? My only experience with North Carolina is the Outer Banks where I've vacationed. I was lucky enough to be there when the hurricanes weren't. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I have relatives in North Carolina too, but they live a little farther to the south, down in Jacksonville, near Camp Lejeune. Best line: "I think when you put all the sexes together you have a full set of teeth so that is saying something."

As for sweet tea and barbecue, love it, especially (barbecue) from a place called Wilber's in Goldsboro. Best barbecue around. My parents always stop by there to get some to take home to Pennsylvania when they're down there visiting.

Oh, and I'll join you cow tipping. Let's go, yee haw.
