Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade

About Me

They just let me out of the nervous hospital. Mmmhmmm....said I was well. I been reading some...I read most of the bible. I killed my mother and a boy named Jesse Dixon with a Kaiser blade 'cause I thought they was doin' wrong. I been working for Bill Cox fixing lawnmowers and what have you. That Wheatley boy and his mother offered to let me stay in their garage. I like it quite a bit, I reckn'. Mmmhmmm... I killed that Doyle with a lawnmower blade 'cause he was being cruel to them Wheatleys. Frank's just a boy. He shouldn't have to mind mean fellers like that. I reck'n I like biscuits with mustard and french-fried potaters. Mhhmm.... I reckon I'ma have to get used to lookin' at purdy people, and I reckon I'ma have to get used to them a lookin' at me. Mmmm Hmmm. I like them French fried potaters. Coffee makes me nervous when I drink it. Mmmhmm. I learned to read some. I read the Bible quite a bit. I can't understand all of it, but I reckon I understand a good deal of it. Studied on it quite a bit. But I reckon there ain't no need for it if all you're gonna do is sit there in that chair. I wanna be baptized. But I don't reckon you have to go with women to be a good daddy to a boy. There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

My Interests

Mustard and biscuits, French fried potaters (the big'uns),potted meat(w/peckers and lips), readin' magazines and eatin' hard candy. I like to tinker around on lawnmowers too and help that little feller tote his sacks of warsh, if I don't give out first. Mmmm Hmmmm

French Fries

I'd like to meet:

Me and that boy made friends, I reckon I could use me a few more.

Music:

I never listen to me no music, much. I'd just set there in that shed, staring at the wall. I did hear them Boxmasters fellers once......Mhm

Movies:

I don't care to much fer the big picture,hmmm. Too many people in them screen houses, makes me nervous. I reckon I like Billy Bob Thornton's movies. Except fer Bad Santa. He ought not talk to that little fat feller that way,hmmm. If I was there I'd a got me a sling blade, and he wouldn't have bothered that little fat feller no more,hmmm. A'ight den

Books:

I got the Bible, a Christmas book and one 'bout carpentry

Heroes:

Diff'rent ones, That Jesus feller and The Bible, I reckon I understand a great deal of it, I cain't understand all of it. I never was no good wit history though. Mmmm Hmmm
