I still own my official "Have a Beer With Billy" Billy Carter beer mug from the 70s.

Greatest American historical artifact in my collection.

Go here:

Roadside America! (new window)

Have fun!

What about Obama birthplace in Hawaii?

BalugaJoe: What about Obama birthplace in Hawaii?

We all know that such a place does not exist.

We need more fun places tagged historic.

Doesn't seem to work for me as well as Billy's place, but we could put it to a vote.

The Statue of Liberty. Mount Rushmore. The Washington Monument. And now, Billy Carter's gas station.

I know, I know; What are four things that are owned by the Chinese Government?

Come and listen to my story of a man named Jim
A rich peanut farmer couldn't fence his family in......

And to think I never even knew I had a brother...

/Sounds like a real character, that Billy.

His fence wasn't slim?

ghare: We need more fun places tagged historic.



Agreed.

Asinine, Subby? Really?

Its claim to historical significance came during Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential run, when reporters mobbed Plains and transformed the station into an unofficial headquarters.

It became the setting for story after story about Billy Carter and his down-home manners and epigrammatic wit (for example: "Beer is not a good cocktail-party drink -- especially in a home where you don't know where the bathroom is").

That's a pretty strong case to have it listed on the National Register of Historic Places. And there are a lot of buildings associated with presidents that are National Historic Sites. They preserve and maintain over a dozen sites associated with US Presidents.

Not as good as Another Roadside Attraction

Is that from a
Poor Old Dirt Farmer?

/going to start a fire and put Levon on

That is almost as stupid as the whack jobs who wanted to use federal funds to make Lawrence Welk's boyhood home a national shrine (can't remember the whole story and I'm not interested in researching anything to do with that creepy guy). I think it was eventually done with private funds.

/have you ever watch the Lawrence Welk show while doing hallucinogenics?
//don't. just don't. trust me.

And now some music from W W eye eye.

Glenn Beck's digestive tract. "Tireless effort for the betterment of society."

What's wrong with the Lawrence Welk show...
I watch it every day. Every single day.

MEH !,...the Carter family,...I wish they would just go away !
I'm not the only one, the State Department wants Jimmy to stop injecting himself into current diplomatic affairs but he just refuses to believe that he's not President anymore.

Maybe they're trying to lure Cobra into attacking something that nobody gives a shiat about.

C'mon, Farkers would have loved Billy Carter.

After losing the election for Mayor of Plains, GA (something like 47 votes to 12 votes) they asked him

Reporter: "What are you going to do now that you've lost the election?"

Billy: "Get Drunk."

And don't forget "Yes, Sir, I'm a real Southern boy. I got a red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer."

Roadogs: And don't forget "Yes, Sir, I'm a real Southern boy. I got a red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer."




"We elected the wrong Carter..."

PseUdononymous Savagery: The Statue of Liberty. Mount Rushmore. The Washington Monument. And now, Billy Carter's gas station.

Now with 100% more Claven.

Know how I know you're too young to remember "your" first term?

See, Billy Carter was a lot more fun than Roger Clinton. I did see Billy Carter when I was a kid, just before he passed away. As I recall he had everybody laughing.

My mother later saw Pres. and Mrs. Carter at Wal-Mart in Americus. Well, sort of... it was hard to see through all the Secret Service protection.

Also agreed.

I haven't read that in 20 years, I think I'll go to the liberry.

UNC_Samurai: That's a pretty strong case to have it listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Actually, it's not.

But don't worry, since Congress failed to write any accountability into the stimulus bill whatsoever, they will get the money they need and more.

They'll probably spend it on coke. Billy and the Democrats would have wanted it that way.

Over a dozen sites associated with US presidents? Like, important milestones for significant presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, etc? Or places associated with weak presidents that reporters mob during a election campaign and redneck brothers of candidates make silly remarks about beer? Oo let's build a shrine in Buffalo NY where Millard Fillmore's dog took a shiat.

If the try to turn the Billy Beer brewery into a national landmark, it'll be time for armed farkin' insurrection!
