Varina is a district / city in the eastern half of Henrico County. Which is the East End of Richmond Virginia.

Jimmie Dean spoke at my graduation and showed off his diamond encrusted gold belt buckle. Years later he got so damned drunk that Varina HS stopped asking him to come. He was a nice man. His wife is a nice lady. They were always good to the people in the community and never did anyone wrong that I know off. He was a good ole boy and will be missed, especially when you run out of whiskey or sausage. He sold the business years ago and they just kept the name I think?

For the record, I'm partial to Jamestown Sausage. You take a fat ole lump out and fry it up under a piece of iron. I used to make mine as thick as a hamburger. I'd make a sandwich with two slices of Texas toast, fried onion, pepper-jack cheese, topped off with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue sauce. Now that's a breakfast! I'm on a diet now. RIP Jimmie.

[quote=GMScud;706509]Anybody else notice that the town Jimmy Dean died in was Varina, Virginia, home of Trample the Elderly?? Aside from TTE and Dean, I've never heard of that town in my life. Is it possible TTE trampled Jimmy?

[quote=firstdown;706510]I'm not sure if I was a guy I would want to be called sausage king. Think of the funny looks you would get when your at the beach if your friend yells "sausage king you better slow down on those beers you know what happened last night". Talking about you passing out.[/quote]

What?! Having the nickname the "Sausage King" would be awesome.. unless it was the Vienna type instead of Varina

and the sausage king slowing down on the beers re: what happened last night sounds more like he "porked" a fatty
