    About this audiobook

    Celia Rivenbark's hilarious observations of life below the Mason-Dixon Line have made her a Southeast Booksellers Association best-selling author. In this collection of essays she shows how to be a true Southerner. For starters, don't forget that Chuck E. Cheese's is a place where a kid can be a kid- while mommie gets hammered on watered-down Bud Light. And never marry your cousin-unless he's got cable. "Rivenbark is a hoot, and her book will be best enjoyed while listening to the Allman Brothers Band ."-Publishers Weekly
