I wanna know the same thing.

I thought the name was a reference to the character on "My Name is Earl".

Jim, Why didn't you make your presence here known earlier? In a hurry?

I was in Knowxille, Maryville, and through the Smokeys (PF, Gatlinburg, Townsend, etc). I plan to move there (Maryville TN region) in (2) years after my son graduates HS. If I would have been where I knew we had members, I would have contacted someone.

I'm in Nashville right now for work. Where's the good BBQ?

 

[SenorNoob]

I can't speak for Nashville. IDK. But if you get as far north as Lafayette drop in Circle-G if you can catch them open. They're only open like 3 days a week now.
