Is there anything better than.......

[Raoul]

Cornbread and apple butter?

or...

[Steelharp]

Well, here, I would have said the smell of gunpowder... on the steel guitar forum, I would have said the sound of good country music...

[titan14]

Beer and cigarettes?

[gregintenn]

Free beer?

[Guest Joey]

Good rum

Good guns

Southern food

[mav]

A million dollars and five beautiful women.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

All good ideas.

A few combinations unfortunately too good to routinely enjoy--

Lentils and fat back

Hominy fried in butter

151 and coke

Hornitos, lime, and salt

[gregintenn]

Hog Jowl!!!

[StPatrick]

Bacon, FTW.

Though I could add:

The Beatles

A good book, and a glass of either whisky or whiskey (if you know the difference, you know what I mean)

Singing in the car - it's the only time you really sound good, and you know it

The satisfaction of a job well done

A good night's sleep, followed by a loooooong pee

A steak done just how you asked for it

Knotting your tie perfectly on the first try (rarely wearing one, this always makes me happy)

Hitting the ten ring on purpose

Getting the rear tires loose through a corner on purpose, and hitting your line afterwards

Breakfast for dinner

Rockabilly and cold beers

The smell of Hoppe's No. 9

A sharp knife when you need it, right there in your pocket

Found money - there's no better $5 dollar bill than the one that you just found rumpled in your pants pocket

Appreciation or praise from someone you respect

Polite strangers

A good debate

Fine [objects of your desire], be they guns, guitars, golf clubs (my weaknesses), or others as to your liking

DIY anything

A good dive - there's nothing more peaceful to me than being 70' underwater, being part of a whole other world

...and so many more

I'm a fan of simple pleasures, and am lucky to experience many in my life. Still, and still, and yet again, the answer to the question is bacon, unequivocally.

Hog Jowl!!!

[Guest Bronker]

The sound of a soft, small voice whispering their bedtime prayers.

Bighorn, Wyoming.

Fresh coffee in Guatemala.

Fresh coffee anywhere.

A child quoting scripture in front of strangers.

New socks.

A campfire when it's cold.

Old cartoons.

Grandfathers.

Grandmothers.

Bush hogging a field you know.

Daybreak in a deer stand.

Bacon.

Snow days.

The National Anthem sang the RIGHT way.

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.

Early morning coffee on the beach with a couple of good friends after catching a great set of waves.

[MacGyver]

Or paddling a quiet lake with my four year-old on the paddleboard first thing in the morning.

[Jasongar8]

Good hot coffee, the sun rising on your deer stand, the smell of the ocean, breakfast with my Grandparents, making the perfect fly cast, all saltwater fishing, Moms, Dads, and a warm belt-fed.

[Ghooge2008]

pinto beans and cornbread

[Guest Octo]

Oh, come on. Someone has to say it, so I might as well:

Sex...without having to listen to drama first.

Also, I really like free cheeseburgers. I don't know why.

[Guest Jamie]

Not wanting or needing anything at all...

[strickj]

Cornbread and apple butter?

or...

If it's homemade apple butter... with fresh buttermilk biscuits.

[peejman]

Titties and beer...

[Bubba0031]

A Day Off

[BrasilNuts]

Being reunited with your family after being out of the country for months.

Being reunited with your family after going to the grocery store.

The right fly and rising trout.

A tree full of squirrels a .22 rifle and your best hunting buddy.

Weekends with my Dad.

Man, I like the way you guy's think!

How's about.... hot cornbread in a cold glass of buttermilk w/ a little black pepper. Yum!

[LagerHead]

A long motorcycle ride. And once I'm back home, a cold beer.

I believe you could have one or the other, but if you had both, it wouldn't end well for ya!

You are dead on with that statement, Jon. Those five gals would clean you out faster than a double dose of Exlax!.....
