Today’s cautionary tale on the dangers of inbreeding is the trailer for ‘Okie Noodling 2′. Nope, ‘Okie Noodling’ isn’t a strangely translated Japanese pro wrestling event–its a, uh…’activity’….enjoyed by those of a more rustic bent that involves gettin’ in the water (apparently fully dressed more often than not), sticking your hand down the throat of a catfish and dragging the critter to shore.

At this point you’re no doubt wondering “aren’t catfish those really nasty lookin’ critters with particularly unpleasant dispositions”? That would be correct…though they taste *real* good. Catfish don’t have teeth as such, but they’ve got spines a-plenty and very strong jaws. Nasty cuts and the occasional dismembered finger are occupational hazards of the ‘Okie noodler’ which considering they’re sticking their arm down the mouth of catfish seems to serve them right.

For you parents out there–if you’re thinking that you’ll forego buying your kids a XBox 360 in hopes that they’ll spend less time inside playing video games and more time outdoors take a look at this clip and then pack up the car for a trip down to Best Buy.

FWIW, you might want to watch “Okie Noodling 1″ first as much like “The Lord of the Rings” or “The Matrix” trillogies it can be kind of hard to pick up the plot intricacies unless you start at the beginning of the series. NOTE: If you’re a Rose City local the Hollywood Theater at 4122 NE Sandy Boulevard will have a screening of ‘Okie Noodling 2′ on July 27th. At least that’s what the SlashFilm.com website says, as there’s no mention of it on the Hollywood Theater website. Hopefully the scheduled showing is legit as this sort of film really deserves to be seen on the big screen :
