Then it was on! Took them homemade ski-doos out to Lake Hartwell.
Lit that sumbitch up! l know, l know, glory days and all but it all happened.

- No, son! - Lemme get in that water! - We can't survive in that water.
No.
You come from water.
We all do.
You know, in the beginning the big ocean filled with the amino acids and electrically charged isotopes and the atoms became cells the cells became organisms.
Only the strong survived.
Only the strong survived! We're number one! America! lt's just natural selection.
l mean, the change and the heritable traits of a population.
He's really bleeding.
Just tap out! Hell, yeah.
Hey, guys, l mean, you read this, right? lt's in books.
You know all this, OK? Then there was the cataclysm.
The earth was ripped! Waters receded and many of our kind perished except for one.
And that squid was me? - No.

She was blessed with both gills and lungs.
She bought a wig, dropped out of high school and spread her heritable traits to future generations through a series of sordid encounters with various creatures behind the Thrift-N-Sip.
Now, you're saying my great-granny was a skank-ass ho bag? No, it's cool.
l'm not judging.
- lt's the law of nature.
- Survival of the f-- Survival of the what? That's what l thought.
Don't you never call me no queer in front of my boy.
l don't think he called you queer, Daddy.
Semantics! Now, he said electronic impulses shot through them amino acids and protein strings sparked mutations and all to help better adapt our ancestors to life above the water.
- Now, that's just dumb.
- Well, then, how did we get here? - Not by the hand of God! - What's all this, now? Well, son, you're a concoction of Satan a red devil sent here to break my faith.
Deliver me! Russell, you just need to learn from the Good Book.
This one? How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
No, no, no, son.
Those are the bad books! - Burn 'em all! - Burn them, burn! - Burn the authors.

Listening to that new Stephen Hawking book, are you? He ain't much for talking, but he's got a beautiful singing voice.
Yeah, well, the County wanted me to update the educational materials, you know? l am the law.
So it was only a theory that Stella got her groove back? - Unless you can prove it.
- l'm so damned confused.
- What do you believe, Sheriff? - Beliefs? lt ain't got nothing to do with beliefs, Rusty.
l deal in facts.
You see, Rusty, people are grown in fields like this one.
Oh, my God! Now, Rusty, God's not a factor here.
You see, the Dougal County Sheriff's Office is a front for Serpents ln The Round.
lt's a shadow government run by Dan Halen.
See, our scientists have developed these man-stalks capable of growing a battalion of nicotine-addicted super warriors with marginal strength and hyper-sensitivity to pain.
- Rusty, is that you? - Step in line, soldier! You were meant to kill, not greet.
- Rusty, is that you? - Hey, Rusty.
- Rusty - Rusty Hey, Sheriff.
Hey, all y'all Sheriffs.
- Rusty - Hey, man.
l might have said too much.
This could jeopardize the entire operation now.
You know what? Here, put this in your ear, would you? - No, please! - lt only hurts for a second.
No, please, l won't tell anybody! Really? Oh, boy, that'd be so great.
You don't even know how much trouble l'd be in if this got out.
This is my last mind worm.
- We'll see you, now.
- We'll see you all later, now.
Go on.
- See you later.
- We'll see you later, now, Rusty.
Rusty, if you want to know how we got here you ought to ask a caveman.
They was the first people.
And that's why the government let them build the damn casino.
They got dibs on the land.
Now they come around saying they found one of them fish-o-pods.
You know, fish with feet.
So how does the Bible reconcile that? Rusty, stop pestering illusionist David Blaine.
Come here and look at this.
So we did rise up out of the mud.
No! lt means this here machine's supposed to pay out double.
Sumbitch ate my quarter.
