5. some of the greatest one liners of all time

come from this video.

"Jesco is three people. Jessee, Jesco, and Elvis."

[Heidi]

7. Even better:

"I'm not alwayscrazy."

[bedpanartist]

8. "I was huffin' a sock full of lighter fluid with one hand

and a hankerchief full of gas with the other."

[Heidi]

9. "If you wanna live to see tomorrow,

you're gonna start fryin' 'em eggs a little better'n what'chu been fryin' 'em. I'm tired of eatin' sloppy, slimy eggs!"

[AspenRose]

12. What was the whole quote about marriage he said?

Something about it not all being fun, there's madness and sorrow in it too. Truer words were never spoken!

OH and I love his sister: "Only the strong survive! That's all." :D

[underpants]

11. My favorite memory of West Virginia when I lived there for a year

was seeing the Jesco White documentaries. I took them home with me. :D

13. My favorite memory of West Virginia

was hitchiking to Morgantown with another buddy from my National Guard unit for the weekend while we were down there on flood clean up details.

Oh the stories.

14. I bet he and the banjo boy are distant cousins

And furthermore, I bet both of them are related to me somewhere on down the line. Scary.

[bedpanartist]

15. then we're probably related too

I'm a proud Appalachian. I am a distant relative of Merle Haggard though.

[BensMom]

17. Never before.

I have never seen or heard of this guy before.
Just weird - but there is something about his raw honesty.

What you see is what you get - and then some.

18. Jesco is a cult legend

check out the second video and his appearance on the Roseanne show.

I belong to the Dancing Outlaw Yahoo group. Someday I'm going to make the trek to W. Va. to see a show, but he RARELY performs. His short lived fame introduced him to the parasitic nature of celebrity, and he feels like he'll only get screwed if he performs again.
