Geeky Talks
Embracing my Inner Hick
I know what you love to hear: Excuses from bloggers on how they’re too busy to blog. Or! Better yet! They are just busy enough to update their own blog sporadically but too busy to read your blog and actually make a contribution. Meanwhile, you’re reading their updates and contributing selflessly.
Excuses, Excuses. And, as a teacher, I know excuses.
I have my own excuses that I will not bore you with. Instead, I will tell you that I’ve thought of you, I’ve read your comments, I’ve wanted to respond, I’ve read your website and wanted to respond, I’ve drafted several posts in my head, including but not limited to:
“Which comes first, the Mullet or the Motorcycle?”
“A math question: If I ate my weight in popcorn, how much popcorn would I eat?”
“For a straight ‘A’ student, I flunked it twice.”
“Times I think I suck as a parent.”
“How I ruined potty training in a single afternoon simply by letting her wear panties.”
“Nothing says white trash like a toddler in a panties and a wife-beater on the balcony. Unless the toddler strips off her panties and poops, then you’re a Flinger.”
And, finally, a post I wanted to share for a few weeks and never got around to placing it on You-Tube:
Originally shared with family on Feb 16th, now making a debut here for the Entire Internet. Why? Because I encourage you to embrace your inner hick.

Where is their hay?
That is adorable!
I’m not sure I buy it that Mr. F. isn’t a hick. Kicking up his heels just came so naturally to him. She of course is just too adorable for words.
So great. What a fun family y’all appear to be.
That booty wiggle is too cute!
Leslie, she’s gorgeous! Look at all that pretty hair. And a good dancer to boot? You’ll be swatting the boys away one day soon.
Aww! What a cutie!
LB and her daddy can shake it like a Polaroid picture!

I embrace my hickness every day. But not with near the rhythm and beauty that your people do!
Now I so totally know why you married that man!!!
Is that Mikey or Mr. F? Either way - the boys got some moves! I don’t think we should ever let LB & Ry out together to dance. LMAO - the rocus they would cause from all those boys!
“shake it like a Polaroid”
LMAO!!
that’s hilarious!!! i’m rolling.
that’s hilarious!!! i’m rolling.
Oh my! The cuteness is overwhelming!
That is, indeed, Mr. Flinger. He’s bootylicious.
TOO CUTE.
That was too cute! And we need a close up of Mr. F…I kept squinting at the screen trying to check him out. What? Your married to him? So? I can look.
Nothing wrong with letting a little of the inner hick free every now and then. Besides, as a frequent live show and music festival attendee, I have to say that few things bring as much joy to my heart and smiles to my face as a little kid dancing around with joyous abandon that I only wish I had…
LOVE IT!!!!!
I absolutely love this clip. It captures them both, oh so well. The icing on the cake would be seeing you add to the fun with CB and all!

Divine, hicks or not. Memories like that are priceless. I love to see me some l’il gal a dancin with her pa.
So adorable! She’s a beauty.
Love it! Absolutely the best ever!
OhMyGosh! That video is so damn cute.
However, my favorite part is the still before hitting play. I love how they both have the same stance.
That is excellent! Awesome footage… be sure you bring that out at her wedding… Love the tushy shake. Such a cutie pie!!
Now are you SURE you are not from Tennessee? Yee haw Flingers! Ya’ll can hoe down with the best of them. I love it!
p.s. I hear Dollywood is hiring.
lol That was really cute.
What? No “Dueling Banjos”????
You’d be Hick-Lite. And your dental care is too good.
Love the video! LB’s booty shakin’ is tooo cute!
I am rolling because, um , you mentioned ‘hick’ and she’s wearing overalls.
I was a tappin’ my foot while thinkin’ how freakin’ adorable she is. LOVED this!
Woot! Wiggle it, baby - wiggle it! You’re going to have a whole clan of butt wigglers, you know. hehe!
Now please tell me what you used to edit your amazing short film.
Oh and VOTE on it people, VOTE! Make that little Flinger Famous!
ok, that last one totaly did me in!! awesome! what, people don’t like to read excuses? since when?
cough.
Not necessarily the song I want my office to know me by, but too cute to stop mid dance!
Thats so sweet my teeth hurt!
Hee Hee! I’m not sure which dancer I got the bigger kick out of! You sure had Bridget bouncing up and down
Leanne, you crack me up woman! You’re the sweetest. And I use iMove and pretty much all the iStuff from Apple for all my media needs.
Thanks for encouraging Mr. Flinger’s true inner dorkiness. He’s really opening up for y’all now.
Hey those titles for posts are so good that I want to read them!
Other than that…I know what ya mean.
That is too cute. Hicks over here too..LOL.
Dear sweet baby jebus, how did I miss this post. See posts like this are the reason I should not be using a feed reader. Gold slips through the cracks! PS If you would like to know witch came first the mullett or the bike, come back down south. You know we have plenty of both here. (:
nice production!
Sooo cute!
