Blunt Trauma

Remember when "I'll bet you a dollar to a doughnut.", meant that you were the one giving the odds.

He's just a bike and a little time from somebody writing a "The Motorcycle Diaries" about it. Oblique reference, Forgive me, I'm bent. Somebody stop me!

To much of it and you'll get a behind all right.

Cube Steak and Gravy, green beans, salad

I'm so sick of cooking that a salad diets starting to look good. If someone would open a decent diner within 5 miles of this house I'd start growing flowers on that stove.

Well it's kinda related and kinda not. It's not the weirdest thing that ever happened to me, but its strange.I had the TV on yesterday, not really paying close attention, just in the background. And for the life of me I could have sworn I heard the people on there just saying the word "Pecker" over and over and over. I thought I heard them say things like.. "I didn't think that "Pecker" would ever turn on him. "I think "Pecker's" doing the right thing." And as I looked up at the screen they had head shots of 4 people on the screen. I could have sworn I heard the lady on the far right of th

Older'en dirt and twice as dusty.

Then you absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt, need to get out more.

Thank you.

Never done this before and probably won’t again, but if you care to know, here’s who I am. I’m saying it up front, because by the end the frothing will forget the front. I predict that there will be some that take this description of who I am and then from it they will tell me what I believe. There’s only one belief expressed and it's in the first sentence below. Again, the frothing will forget the front by the time they get to the back. I firmly believe that you are the sum total of who you’re from, where you’ve been and who you’ve been with, tempered by that individual spark that makes u

riffraff /ˈrɪfˌræf/ noun Learner's definition of RIFFRAFF [noncount] disapproving : people who are not respectable : people who have very low social status Try not to associate with that riffraff. — often used in a humorous or exaggerated way to suggest the attitudes of wealthy and powerful people The doorman kept the riffraff out of the hotel.

Nope, not even. I've agreed with the same points regarding blight all the way through. I was the first post to support his point when someone tried to head to the "well they were there first" argument. I don't owe it to anyone to agree for what I believe to be the fourth time in one thread with the same points. Had you read more than the one post in this thread you would maybe have gotten the reference as opposed to a knee jerk reaction. Some folks are really hard to agree with I reckon. But as long as we're guessing about the others positions. When was the last time you stood up and demande

Yeah, your gonna need to read more than the one post to get it.

I knew I recognized something.....

Is this from your end of Nebo or mine? Or was this 120? https://youtu.be/kuWZ06DmtCY

Whew, now if I ain't mistaken I come out the end of that one being your weirdest moment.I prefer adorably odd, but hey, take what you get I reckon.

In either 77 or 78, maybe 79, I was living in an apartment on Franklin Road almost across the street from where Miss Kitty's was later. I had from 1 to 12 room mates depending on who was in town. They where, all but 1, Iranians here on student visas. Of course most of them weren't in school anywhere. They were for the most part restaurant workers. The thing is, you never knew what kind of connections this new guy in front of you had. All of their parents had better jobs for the most part, one time a conversation let me know that I was talking to a waiter who was the son of an/the Oil Minister.

There are some things in life that just ain't fair, but they're life lessons the universe insists you pay for. Good luck with the search though.

I wonder not "why". If you retain anything from what I've said other than what trips your trigger, you'd see that I've supported you, said the same thing and sited some of the same areas. That's blight and it effects everyone. When you constantly refer to the same people with the same pejorative, you no longer have to actually mention color, race, gender or polkadots for that matter. It is implied. Look up the definition of bigotry, compare it to what rolls through your head when "riff raff" comes out from under your fingers. Then consider one last thing that a few on here either never consi

What you used it for in this instance is irrevelant. You have a history of using that term to describe not folks who litter (slobs, inconsiderates) and thieves, but poor folks. At least folks poorer than you. And if we were all to tell the truth, if'n we were to go back and look at each particular time it's been used, you're usually if not pretty much always talking about people who are both poorer than you, but they don't look much like you either. I am truly sorry that the sheriff wouldn't come and arrest that pipe for you. Just curious, what were they expected to do, set up survellience in

Two separate ideas there. Blight being decay of a previously functioning area as it falls into disrepair and decriptitude. Which is what is in the process when a section goes commercial without renewal. Businesses move into houses which weren't designed for that use. If you want a prime example take a ride down Bankhead in Mableton. While you're there keep in mind that the Latino community has moved in and made vast improvements. If what's there is improved, imagine how bad it was, if you're not familiar with the area.The second part has to do with an issue I have with the OP's repeated use of

Blight cannot/should not be grandfathered.That immediate "like" forces me to add to the OP. You used that term again. And once again, since I am a card carrying member, I have spoken to both the riff and the raff. The riff sends along there best wishes. However the raff is not all that remorseful of the impending exit.

Betch'ya I got better Vittle's stories than anybody here. Probably because I've nearly got arrested there more times than most. At least when it was next door to where it ended up and open 24 hours. Geez, that's been 3 decades ago...... I'm old.

Went and got the Ford and some grease for the slide. Saying "Baby them right there is wide thighs."

Tried to put my baby in the chevy but her butt was too wi-i-ide. .
