Jeff Foxworthy In Town

**tsutcli** · 07-14-2008, 08:25 AM

He's back again and staying at WC. Seems you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a celebrity these days.

It's 8:30 my time. Let's see how long this thread takes to disintegrate.

excellent first step.

Was he at Bud and Ally's behind a rope with a body guard? LOL!!

**Jdarg** · 07-14-2008, 09:24 AM

I guess coming to the "Redneck Riveriera" is like coming home to the mothership for Foxworthy! Maybe he gets special powers when he is here.

or some of his best material.

He's a frequent visitor - likes to eat at the Bayou Bill's in PC if I remember correctly.

With the caliber of celebrities mentioned lately, I'd say getting hit with a dead cat could be construed as a positive career move.

I'll bite...

Jeff Foxworthy and Jessica Simpson (I presume you refer to these two) are pretty high caliber if you measure their success within their respective target markets. These are 2 hugely successful people- moguls actually...

And while I don't know who you are, SHEL-
It is safe to say you will never be as successful in your arena as they are in theirs...

Odds are this is true for everyone who reads this board...

**Miss Critter** · 07-14-2008, 11:25 AM

If you have ever set up a canopy on the beach, and then fried in the sun while your cooler full of beer rested in the shade. . .you might be a redneck!

Admittedly, when I think "celebrity mogul" none of these three springs to mind.

I'll give you Pauly the Weasel, SHELLY...

As far as the others being moguls-

Foxworthy parlayed "You might be a redneck" into a multimedia empire- Books, DVD's, apparel, a long running TV show that stars him (and is named after him). Now he has a full comedy troupe that sells out arenas. I believe he owns it all. Rich and famous, completely relevant after all these years...

Jessica (with the help of her ambitious dad- I'll be kind) parlayed a decent voice and good looks into a mainstream music career, she had a hit tv show, she has starred in major motion pictures, she has her own line of designer clothing, shoes, jewelry, hair products. She is a paid spokesperson for Proactiv- a market leader in skin products...

A decent argument can be made that these two are icons...

I'm not a big fan of either of them. But I am not a hater. You're way off if you were talking about these two when you said that by getting hit with a dead cat that it would be a career boost (or whatever you said)...

But regardless of all this sillyness,
How I feel can be summed up simply with-

I think it is neat that INSERT CELEBRITY NAME is here visiting our little slice of paradise...

Everything else I posted was just me reacting to the negativity...

Later...

OMG now THAT was funny....

**Bluznbeach** · 07-14-2008, 04:29 PM

Foxworthy's a more natural fit for Sowal than most others. After all, it was on these very beaches that somebody threw a beer can at a shark

and somebody else (my wife and I) used"Whipping Post" as our special song at our wedding .

And if you've ever done either of those things, I'd have to say you might just be a redneck.

It is interesting, the various ways which people measure success.

If Jeff is performing comedy somewhere in SoWal, please let me know. However, I do not care to see his white legs in a swimsuit on the beach.

I think it is great that this area draws celebrities, but if you want to keep that happening, perhaps you should keep it on the down-low.

I missed the beer can, but I saw Rick throw a Corona bottle, after quickly emptying it down his throat, at a Hammerhead Shark a couple of years ago. "You might be ...."

Then someone will need to convince the travel mags, travel shows, travel agents, etc., to keep it on a low profile.

Seeing that the target audience so far is limited to the supermarket tabloid readers and fans of the HeeHaw Channel, I don't think we have anything to fear at this juncture.

Well as far as Romo/Jessica are concerned you will have to include everyone that watches ESPN, as just today, there was a piece on him about is he the new Broadway Joe as far as attracting media attention every where they go.

Remember the "Old" Broadway Joe?

You didn't by any chance follow that up with Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain", did you?

**Smiling JOe** · 07-14-2008, 06:34 PM

didn't he play with Mean Joe Green?

Shelly You are on a roll--your posts on this thread are cracking me up!!!!

**DuneLaker** · 07-14-2008, 08:14 PM

The real story here is this isn't the "Redneck Riviera" but "America's Riveriera" that attracts the rich and famous. That Redneck Rivera thing was started by some jealous East and South Florida types. We've always been prettier, and now we're attracting the A List. Glad he and Jessica and Tony can come here to relax.

They have a HeeHaw channel now??????

" I searched the world over and thought I 'd found true love. You found another and 'thruppp' you were gone."

Thanks for the laugh, Shelly.

The only celebrity I ever considered stalking was Robert Plant, who was rumored to be staying in Watercolor 4th of July 2007. And I never found out if he was really there, but wow, that would have been really cool.

I glanced through this week's People. I didn't see anyone in there that I would get really excited about seeing, and that's if I even recognized them!

I'd get excited if I saw Clive Owen anywhere.

Daniel Craig, Anthony Bourdain or Stephen Colbert would do the trick for me.

Are you sure that the Rednecks in the South East didn't start that name, to keep the other people scared to visit and discover the beach?

If these people are the "A list," who is on the B list?

**kathydwells** · 07-15-2008, 08:58 AM

I saw all the celebrities I wanted to see while I was in town. Ok, not all of them, but a lot of them. The famous Dargs with their little Princess (She beats the heck out of Jessica Simpson any day), Some of those gorgeous Steelings, Mr. SJ himself, jfunn (she is a celebrity to me), Daddy-O, Tootsie, and their little cutie patootie Spidey, Allifunn and her cute son, and Teddy Bear from the Waco's, all those boy's from Dread. Who needs Jessica and Tony, or Foxworthy, or Sheryl, when we have all these other beautiful celebrities amongst us.

p.s. SHELLY, you are next on my list.
