Sometimes expressions cannot be explained without the context being known. I can try to answer some of the expression:
The expression are :
**Your leg's sleeping. It means your leg is asleep. The circulation in the leg is bad and it is numb...
** You laid on the damn thing. I don't know.
** Almost pinned a note on you. This could mean that the person avoided death. When one dies, a note is put on a person's body, labeling them while they are not buried.
** I hooked you to those two men I don' know.
** in more ways than you know.
** standing with your head in the noose and your feet in Crisco. This is a reference to death. The person was close to death....A noose is a rope that goes around one's neck...and is tied to a tree limb (possibly) so if your feet are in Crisco (oil which is slippery), you could slip and break your neck...and die.
**Oh, I expect you'll let yourself... go to Greenhaven for murder I don't know...
** You got some heavy lifting here first. (got some heavy lifting ) They have a lot of work to do to get started/going.
** Burn sth like a cane field in a high wind. I have no idea what this means. But if there is a fire and there is a lot of wind, the fire will burn quickly. It burns fast.
