    This particular piece of folklore appears to be based primarily on conjecture: Will Donkey is poor, and lives in the Deep South where eating roadkill is supposedly common. Will therefore eats roadkill


    Both Will Donkey and Stinky George are said to go dumpster-diving, both for their dinner and their wardrobe.



    In fact, the same has been said about The Shitholeville All-Stars in general:


    Will Donkey can often be seen gathering roadkill off the streets of Columbus. Most of the roadkill is said to be unidentifiable, but losers can't be choosers.


    That's true. Will Donkey wanted to put Dirtnap Brother Dave on the menu, but some Shitholeville residents said that Brother Dave was a poor taste.



    One persistent rumor is that in order to save money on Dave's cremation, Will hired Stinky George to do it for a pack of smokes. Stinky roasted Dave on a spit a the RiverWalk camp and he and the other pissbums had a luau.

    The next morning, George scooped up some of the ashes from the fire and put them in a mayonnaise jar, and collected his pack of cigarettes.

    No one ever knew the difference, since Clay dropped the jar and the funeral service and spilled all of the ashes out in the parking lot.

    There is independent corroboration of that "rumor," and it is true. Stinky G said that Brother Dave tasted like cigarettes (Sail-em), but there was plenty of him to share, even though Will Donkey took the drumsticks. Clay dropped the jar because he was always terrible at sports and tried to catch things with his head and underpants.
