So, this week, we learn that there are four black people in Bon Temps–Tara, her mom, her cousin, and the gravedigger. We’ve yet to see if he’s related into Tara’s family, but I’m betting on yes.
Otherwise, we learned that, after your grandma’s funeral, it is customary in Louisiana to eat a pecan pie that looks a tad too fluffy to actually be a pecan pie, and then put on a frilly white nightgown and run through the cemetery. Apparently if you can do this without throwing up, a hot guy will have sex with you.
I wish I had know this after my grandma’s funeral, because I just went back to my aunt and uncle’s and sat around and watched TV with my cousins. But I would have been willing to try the pie and running through the cemetery thing. Not saying I wouldn’t have puked, but I’d have tried.

See, at a Jewish funeral, you would just eat the pecan pie, and then your friends would bring over 20 more pies as well. No need to let physical activity get in the way of eating.
In Hoots, there is also chicken served with the pecan pie.
I just like the title of your post a lot. It about sums up this series. Not to say I don’t really like the show, because I do. I just wrote a great review for this episode myself (http://tinyurl.com/4xcxlw) and have been getting more into it by the week. I like not having read the books and not knowing who’s going to die next or, well, who’s going to have sex with who next. And all the other little stuff in between.
i found it somewhat interesting how folks who have more issues than a bookstore magazine rack go to a funeral find varieties of solace via sex. (also a friend told me he’s read the books and if anything, HBO is downplaying the sexual scenes.)

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
I was all like “who put pecans on a butterscotch pudding pie?”
(also a friend told me he’s read the books and if anything, HBO is downplaying the sexual scenes.)
The only sex scenes downplayed are, ironically, the ones between Sookie and Bill. Those are the only sex scenes in the books and they are actually not as physically graphic as they are emotionally graphic.
All the other sex!sex!sex! between Jason–>everyone LaFayette–>random men takes place offstage in the books. And Tara doesn’t even exist (so far) in the books so obviously her sex scenes are more graphic in the show. ;-p
As I followed Kat’s and your conversation this weekend on Twitter (and that I don’t have HBO) I delved into the series yesterday and today.
It does sound like Vampire Bill is saying Sucky.
And that pecan pie looked like pecan pudding.
