Trippy, Bro.

Earl Hamner, Jr is still alive, which means that theoretically, so is John Boy.  Which is trippy, since it would mean that someone frozen in time in our minds, living in the sticks during the Depression, could be on a computer right now, watching Chocolate Rain or some shit.  Whack, eh?

Unbeknown to JB, his little brother Jim Bob and Ike Godsey had fitted Daddy's Tin Lizzy with a flux capacitor. Headed toward Charleston to return a library book, he bumped along the winding and rutted dirty roads to the tune of the usual bluegrass, when he noticed the car was driving unusually well. Tempting fate, he popped the clutch and leaning into the oversized steering wheel let out a whoop as he took her at break neck speeds of 50 MPH. By the time he hit 88, all 4 tires were blown and the car was already careening off the side of the mountain and into what appeared to be some kind of time tunnel, all the while Johnboy is a-hollerin' "I'm coming, Daddy!"
