In an effort to make up for our callous April Fool's Day comments about hillbillies, GEP has asked our regular contributors, as well as friends of the site, to say a few words about their favorite hillbillies, rednecks, and members of the white trash elite in our society. Again, GEP apologizes for any mountain folk who were offended by our tomfoolery.
Early Cuyler, patriarch of a redneck squid family living in the mountains of Georgia on the greatest Adult Swim program to date, is my choice for favorite hillbilly. Whether he's "de-bitchifying" his egg-laying, mullet-sporting son Rusty, producing a brand of pine cone whiskey destined to make everyone in his community blind, or battling any number of aliens from the far reaches of this here galaxy, he does so with dignity and panache. He also usually fires off a few rounds from his shotgun which looks to be cobbled together from discarded weaponry found in a scarp yard. He is truly a worthy representative of the Southern anthropomorphic redneck squid community and should be respected as such. My love for Early, hell, the whole Cuyler clan, is as large as Stone Mountain's Pac-Man and as constant as drinkin'. I'm constantly drinkin'.
