maybe she can parlay her notoriety into some teeth
there was a story on local news tonight about a family being menaced by a skunk, and granny crabtree gettin bit by it. seriously, the woman spoke some words in the snippet they showed to get you to watch the whole story at eleven, but it was some secret appalachian recluse language.

Hey, maybe it was some Appa-LATCH-ian urlanguage passed down through oral tradition that is currently subverting the dominant, hegemonic Standard English enforced on us, the little folk, by The Man. Or something.
skunk bites are no laughing matter.
pepe le pew (sp?) is one scary mofo.
he chased me down once, bit my ass, and i haven't been the same since.
there's also this weird white stripe down my back. won't come off for anything, no matter what soap i use.
granny probably has a very good reason for no teeth and her accent. perhaps the lack of teeth has effected her speech. perhaps she lost them trying to bite the skunk back. you never know. those mountain folk are, well, they're strange folk.
