Learn something new everyday, I suppose.
I've come to the conclusion that 'Hooplehead' is the perfect term for 15-20% of the folks that inhabit East Texas with my family and me: the fat ladies with the virginia slim cigarette talking on the cell phone driving 25 under the speed limit, the folks that think we're strange because we actually shop in the vegtable isle (and eat the stuff-- horrors!), the crazy guy who carts around 50 pallets in his mazda B-100 and doesn't tie them down, the guys who put $4k worth of rims on a $2k car , etc.
Those folks-- Hoopleheads. Each and every one.
