I like fried catfish, but it sure does have a lot of bones:
For the second time in his life, Patrick Tobias is facing prison for murder.He was paroled after six years of a 13-year sentence for a second-degree murder in Breckenridge Hills more than 20 years ago.
This time he will get life without parole for hiding in his wife's car trunk and popping out to shoot her lover at a rendezvous in north St. Louis County in 2006.
...
Sherron Tobias testified that on the night of Dec. 11, 2006, she drove from her home in Black Jack to a store in Town and Country to drop her son off at work and then visited a friend in the Ballwin area. From there she stopped at a Schnucks store in West County and finally drove to Earl Drive in the Castle Point neighborhood of North County to meet her boyfriend, Ashley Jamerson, who lived there.Prosecutor John Quarenghi said Patrick Tobias hid in the trunk all the while, for about two hours, which showed premeditation.
Quarenghi showed the jury photographs of the trunk that showed a pillow, a partially-eaten order of fried catfish and french fries, and a device to unlock the lid from the inside.
Officials said Tobias emerged from the trunk and shot Jamerson, 21, in the neck, stomach and thigh, killing him almost instantly.
I can't imagine he'd choose fries over hush puppies, but maybe he'd already eaten them. The story isn't clear.

Posted by: csason at May 23, 2008 08:43 PMI like mine with grits too, but not while I'm riding in the trunk.
If it was gas station food though, I'd prefer the gizzards.
Damn...Labelle hasn't changed much since I was a kid.. I have been down there for a week now..Flora and Ida still have cheese grits and tomato gravy.
