About Our Staff:

Jefferson Davis Hogg Jr.

Son OF Jefferson Davis Hogg, named for that great president of ours, who should be on that dad blasted five dollar bill. J.D. is a writer, poet, and town troublemaker who loves his watermelon, poke chops, fried pully bones, His version of a heart healthy breakfast is fried country ham, bacon, sausage and fat back, scrabbled eggs (4) a big bowl of yellow grits smothered with milk gravy, real butter and a glob of seriously sharp cheddar cheese, washed down with two cups of coffee (Yuban) and a glass of sugar free orange juice. He only weighs a mere 220 pounds, buck naked. Loves his dogs especially Beaureguard and his Pit Bull, Mr. Peter LaPeau.

Lucious P. Hoggphatt

Lucious is a famous photographer around these heah parts and has photographed some of Ridgeways finest. Lucious is our new investigative reporter who takes no BS from anyone and I mean anyone. Heck he even accused yours truly of subversion and sexual harassment. Lucious is the eternal yuppie of the Hogg dynasty and likes to hang around the Vista. He knows more about Ridgeway then all of us combined, especially the seedy side of politics. So watch out, as Hulk Hogan said, what you gonna do when Lucious comes for you.

Beulah Hogg

Niece of the Great Hogg. Weighs in at 400 pounds. Knows how to keep her husband in know. Poor old Boris Hogg never gets anywhere with Beulah. He would love to make love to her but she hates to and tortures him by bathing only on Saturday Nights. Beulah loves tater chips, and anything beginning with the letter G, greens, gravy, grits, grapes and grubs. When she makes sketti she likes to grab four or five half rotten maters and through in a little ground possum and chili powder. I swear that woman will eat the whole pot.

Bertha Hogg

From somewhere northeast of Ridgeway. Been here all her life. Calls Lake Wannabee what it really is. They, the rich folks call it a Lake and it ain't nothin but a wide river. A hundred years ago, with all the baby makin' goin' on black and white and in between they should have named this place dongtown. Known for her swift temper, no Hogg gets close to her when she's mad.

Elvis P. Hogg

Producer of Town events, like that Swine event we have every fall. This year Elvis is organizin early. The new motto will be Pig In The Fridge, because cousin Dewphus and the other organizer Dom Donner can't get enough of that hog meat. Once met Hank Williams Jr., named for a King. Destined to carry on the Hoggdom. Skinny as a two by four and mean as hell too. At least one is a good Hogg trait.

Stonewall Lee Hogg

The athletic Hogg. Loves the SEC football, and despises the ACC except when J.D. lays the hammer down and he better root for the Tigers or he'll disconnect Direct TV. Stonewall is an avid Georgia Bulldog fan and is just waiting for Spurrier to get Spurred by that ugly drool drippin mascot of theirs. Look for an interesting season. His only other sport of kind is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin. He still thinks its real.

U. Ben Hadd Hogg

This two timin chicken thief, moonshine makin, pot growing is Boss' brother Assinines son. All the good traits in a Hogg. Just elected president of his neighborHOOD watch group, The NAAWT, The National Association for the Advancement of White Trash.

Portnoid Peabody Hogg

And you thought Essie Mae was first. Portnoid was raised the first Black Hogg of the family. Well educated at the Hogg academy for swiner things in life, Boss made him Head of the Penny collections at the Bank and even formed Portnoid a non profit organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Copper Pennies. Boss despises those new zinc colored cents.

Effie Pearl Pinkett

Divorced from the Great Hogg, Assinine, Effie is remarkable in remembering the gossip of Ridgeway and Fairfield for years after the event. Mean as a rattlesnake, cunning as a fox, you nevah know when she's got her ears on you. Takes no BS from anyone especially anyone particularly overweight. Get the message Mayor. Her whereabouts in our Fair County comes with a clue. Somewhere near Beirut.??? Heck I could figure that one out but our mayor said he had never eaten any Beirut.
