Bellied Peckerwood Gillbilly Fillbilly .
. . and many more  Grillbilly: One nice thing about this part of the country
is that it's rarely too cold to grill outside. Any time of year, a stroll along any suburban street or country road
can bring the aroma of meat cooking over an open flame. Vegetarians may want to skip this section. Basically,
if it ever walked, flew, or swam around, it's fair game. While stories of hill folk eating road kill are grossly exaggerated,
we in the Ozarks do like to experiment. Who says Spam can't be grilled? Certainly not George Foreman. Just
below the Mason-Dixon Line, summers are too hot for cooking in the kitchen. No problem, just fire up the grill and enjoy
that juicy, striped meat with some cool, sliced tomatoes out on the patio. Diet:
beef, pork, chicken, fish, and...well, you just don't want to know what else. Attracted
to: lean cuts of meat Biggest Fear: That Wal-Mart will run out of charcoal. Physical
Characteristics: lack of eyebrows, giant tongs, apron with "Kiss the cook" or equally silly quote. Mating
Call: "Those thighs look well-done, but juicy."

Chillbilly:
They moved down here from Maine, Minnesota, or some other polar region where people drive on frozen lakes and the snow finally
melts around the Fourth of July. When July rolls around in Northwest Arkansas, they take refuge inside where air-conditioning
keeps it cold enough to store meat, venturing out only to buy ice cream and beer. "You call this
cold"?" and "This is nothing" are two of their favorite phrases whenever the temperature dips
below freezing or four inches of snow cover the roads. Just to prove it, they'll get out and drive in it, oblivious
to the fact that transplants from California, Texas, and Florida are also out there, with no idea what to do. Maybe
their custom of jumping into cold water on New Year's Day has given them a permanent brain freeze, so I'll spell it out for
them. There are advantages to letting your boss and co-workers think a couple inches of snow has you homebound.
Think about it. Diet: hot chocolate, soup Attracted To: ice, snow, sleet, long underwear Physical Characteristics: frost bite Biggest Fear: summertime
in the Ozarks Mating Call: "You're cold? Let me warm you
up."
