Charles Flintrock

From Plastic Tub

Charles Flintrock was a respected pig breeder from York, PA. His great past-time was going to the York Fair Horse races where he would gamble with his friends Jeremiah and Junior Belier (the two brothers caught fornicating with the sheep).

The gambling turned into a regular event and Charles became the talk of town when he bet at the famous York Million in 1935, the yearly race of 3 yr. old studs (no geldings please was the cry). Though money was short (word was that Flintrock had only one runt left) Flintrock came to the track with a pocket full of gold. Rumors quickly circulaited about his troubled Irish past (a bank robber? a potatoe monarch? nobody was certain) but faded when he went to the teller with 5 gold nuggets - on 1150-1 longshot Black Gamcock to win!

We all know the rest - his victory propelled him to mayor. But his reputation as a drunken father never left him and the poor Irish community never got out of the sty in York, so they say.
