Clayton, Louisiana


Clayton is a town in northern louisiana. The population is 858. Cotton is a principal commodity in the area. Clayton is located on the Tensas River, important for fishing and boating.

Among the businesses in the community are Cross Keys Bank and David's Grocery.

And this is where I found one of Lyle Gorch's cousins who had all these family videos to show me.

  1. Mr. Hall,

    I can't believe you was in Clayton. When was you there? I mean, I been there like all kinds of times cause my Mom used to live there with her family.
    Then one day a carnival came to town and she met my Dad.

    But I can't believe you also met my cousin Darryl. He been a back hoe operator for 20 years and shit. He's pretty smart, probably cause he ain't a Gorch -- he a Watkins (that used to be my Mom's name and shit before she and my dad met at the Dunk the Geek booth that one summer).

    Anyway, I ain't seen Darryl since my Mom's funeral -- he used that same back hoe to dig her grave! After we covered her up, he said I should steer clear of Clayton, just case the cops came a sniffing.

    Well, it looks like Darryl is still at it. Goddamn he's a good ole boy! And I'm glad you got to hang with him.

    Did he take you to any gas stations?

    Your pal,

    Lyle


    P.S. - Squirrel Season is starting up soon. When you coming down? I noticed that gas prices are going down (if you know what I mean).

  2. This video would have been a lot funnier if some one had gotten real hurt.

  3. Tyler,

    Why you such a douchebag?
    The whole point is to have some fuckin' fun. Not to be hurting folks that come over to check out his rides.
    And my cousin Darryl is way too smart to be hurting people. Cos he be charging them and shit for that ride. One saturday he made like 10 bucks!

    He did hurt granny once doing that and he laernt his lesson. He vowed to never hurt nobody again (well, granny was holdin him down with her bent walker when he said that).

    But now that I think about it, we busted our guts laffing when Granny went flying.
    That ole goat flew like a ragdoll!

    She had it coming to -- she kept calling Darryl a pussy cos he wouldn't go faster.
    He got all pissed and flustered like ... then she couldn't hang on ....

    Damn, that was funny.

    Hey Tyler, maybe you ain't that big of a douchebag afterall?

    P.S. - I'm still watching you.
