Steven Hill: The Pride of Branson
Read this post, entitled "The First Modern Hillbilly NBA Player has come."
Note to KP: anyone that can survive chainsaw art shows deserves a real contract.
Steven Hill, chainsaw, bonzai tree, Portland Japanese Garden. Let's get that done Blazers marketing. Let's get that done.
Consider this Chapter 1 of the Steven Hill chronicles. Why do I strongly suspect there will be many, many additional chapters?

Sure
Sure, we are so smug with our sophistication. But tell me deep in our hearts of hearts who doesn’t want the thrill of Pirates combined with the family friendly excitement of minature golf?
So off to Olive Garden followed by a night of Yakov! I think Steven Hill and Greg Oden could have a blast in Branson. It would make one hell of a 1/2 time feature.

My respect for chainsaw carving
Inadvertantly seeing it at a state fair convinced me the chainsaw is not just for massacres because genius knows no bounds. They were gasolined Picassos, and it was a comedy show. Once I blinked and suddenly a chair was there that I probably would buy in a store. Those guys impress me more than all my years in education. I’d rather see that show than a Knicks-Wolves game, or a Pacers-OKC game, or a Kings-Nuggets you get the idea.

My travels have taken me to Branson
The cheesiest city in America. Where Country (and kitsch Country) goes to die.

I'm.... a lumber jack and I'm okay

I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Chorus:
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea
Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus:
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars.
Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women’s clothing and hangs around in bars?!
Chorus:
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!
Mounties:
I cut down trees, I wear high heels?!
Suspenders…and a bra?!…
Just the Lumberjack:
I wish I’d been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

Once Again
I grew up in Northwest Arkansas. Branson was the nearest “tourist trap” to where we lived, and we went up there to visit Silver Dollar City, a kind of pioneer theme park and home of the a fore mentioned Fire In The Hole. BTW, those Bald Knobbers that star in Branson’s longest running show are the sack masked villains of the Fire In The Hole in-door water ride (which is hilarious, and my favorite thing to do at the park).
I also want to reiterate, as a Razorback alumni, that love Steven Hill’s mystique all you want, but he’s a poor man’s Theo Ratliff.

That may be
an insult to Theo Ratliff.
And to poverty.

My Mom
lives right near Branson, in the middle of nowhere. The Ozarks make Eastern Oregon look futuristic.
