Lick Schtick: Beloved 'Lizard Lick Towing' Season Finale

| Print Post This | Like (5) | Comments (0)

In the apparently real town of Lizard Lick, N.C., there is apparently a real company called Lizard Lick Towing and Recovery, run by two beefy repossessors (Bobby Brantley, left, and Ron Shirley, right, with Amy Shirley). Enter a TruTV reality show named after the business.

Sounds lowbrow, but "Lizard Lick Towing," whose season finale airs on Monday, is quite educational. Here's what we learn.

Words to live by: "We try to never leave a job without a vehicle."

How to size up the threat level: Going into the backwoods "always makes [repossession] a whole lot more scary."

What's worse than being shot at: Being doused in gasoline, then shot at.

How to beg your wife to take you back after she left you because you let the work of repossession intrude on a date: "Honey, please, Honey, please, Honey, please."

How not to answer the phone when your angry wife doesn't come to work: "Lizard Lick Towing, wassup?"

A better greeting: "May I help you?"

A saying worth repeating even though it lacks internal logic: "I know you're all roostered up, but I ain't feelin' your cock-a-doodle-doo."
