17 May 00 - 02:15 PM (#229417) Subject: wildcat or boastful logger song From: Jacob B We've all heard the expression that someone could "lick his weight in wildcats". Does anyone know of a song that uses the expression? Alternatively, does anyone know of a song in which a logger boasts about how powerful (virile, dangerous) he is? I'm trying to come up with an appropriate song to accompany a story about Jigger Johnson, who was a logger-turned-trapper whose idea of fun was to catch wildcats barehanded. (Sure, he got clawed up. He didn't care. He just made up for the lost fluid by drinking whiskey.) Any suggestions? |

I think that one DID have something about wildcats in it... |

My brain cell must have failed somewhere while searching... Anyway, there are a bunch of songs out there SOMEWHERE similair to the one Joe has above, which are somewhat appropriate |
