Be Careful: The Matt Mudd story



The cross country audition process is finally finished and it looks like we have a winner, Mark Mudd. Many of you may remember Mr. Mudd as the lazy eyed hillbilly whose great, great grand pappy assisted a presidential assassin and sang a spirited rendition of the George Jones classic White Lightnin' before awkwardly threatening the panel as he left. Well, as the old Kentucky aphorism goes "just 'cause she's yer sister don't don't mean she ain't yer wife" there is indeed more then one side to this story as well! As it turns out, the phrase "Be Careful" is completely the norm in the Louisville area and is used regularly in casual conversation to say farewell. Regional dialect experts say this is most likely a consequence of living in close proximity to murderous hill folk like local rapist and moonshine enthusiast Mark Mudd who if you're not careful will kill and rape you.

Simon: Kisses Cara and Paula, I'm off down the road in search of tea! Ta ta! See you soon Randy my dog!

(Simon walks down the road in search of a warm cuppa)

Mudd: Where you goin' city boy?

Simon: Oh dear! If only someone had warned me to be careful!
