Who's Don Deere?

If any of you know a Don Deere, please give him my apologies.

You see, when my brother and I were little, we used to do a "cheer" against John Deere. If you are raised in a Caterpillar family, your blood runs yellow. Hmmm. That sounds funny. I don't mean "yellow" in the cowardly sort of way... I mean yellow, as in the earth-moving equipment sort of way.

So anyway, here is how the cheer goes:

John Deere! (raspberry) (raspberry)
John Deere! (raspberry) raspberry)

Very original, I know. But, being the good Caterpillar Kid that I am, I have passed on the John-Deere-hating tradition to my firstborn son.

Moses caught on very quickly. He likes the spitting part. Unfortunately, he is cursing someone named Don Deere.

John's brother. Disowned by family when he joined Blackhawk's warriors. Rumored to have disappeared somewhere around a big bend in the Rock River.
