What is a Potlicker?
Potlicker (1), also known as Dad, Husband, Mortgage Payer, Kid Taxi, Employee, Boss, Coach, Wife Supporter, Puke Cleaner, Snow Shoveller, Grass Mower, Crying Towel or Underappreciated Slave to Society.
Potlicker (2), what one becomes when the chains of life are removed on Monday nights from the hours of 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm (sometimes 10:00 pm depending on malt wheat/barley consumption). A Potlicker, contains the intestinal fortitude to ride to the highest peaks of the Elbow Valley while negotiating snow, wet roots and killer mosquito’s. When the top is reached, the Potlicker turns his bike around and plunges fearlessly down a jagged cliff at break-neck speeds. As the legend goes…. on a warm summer night, if you listen very carefully, you may hear the joyous cry of a Potlicker, as he is free to be kid again, if for only a moment.
