  1. I have seen a few minutes of his show, here and there, not enough to total an hour, but maybe 45 minutes total. He is the only original host I have seen since the master.
  2. Oh, it's twue, it's twue. They call it everything but a dam, mostly I remember they called it a water retention barrier.
  3. He's still on? I quit watching late night talk shows when the KIng of late night quit. Late night TV talk show, 1954-1993, RIP. (Steve Allen, Jack Parr, Johnny Carson)
  4. I second (or third) the dam tour. BTW, do not expect the tour guides to use the word dam. Several years ago some numb nut complained and the tour guides are no longer allowed to use the word dam to describe the............yep, that's right........the dam. True story.
  5. I can spot weather without a class, I just use a window or step outdoors. Sorry, I tried to stop them, but my two fingers wouldn't listen.
  6. Say hello to my money, I left a lot of it in those evil slot machines in the airport when my flight out was delayed for 3 hours. The rest I left in several casinos. (I like to spread the wealth) Have fun, don't be afraid to use the coupon books, if you have any. Too much to see and do to list here, but the buffets at the big hotels are fantastic.
  7. I challenge the non-southerners in our group to go with me to a family dinner, on my mother's side, and see how much they understand what is said. Heck, I challenge the southerners in our group to see how much they understand. I have talked with one of my cousins for a hour and only understood half of what he said. At the dinners, the wife is constantly asking me, "What did he/she say?" Most of the time I know, but sometimes I am lost. We are talking old (as in age) country/southern folk who talk old time southern, with lots of the old phrases. But they are some of the best, if not t
  8. YES! YES! YES! No matter what brand of snake, YES. NO snakes in the house!! Ok, maybe you shouldn't be worried, but at my house a heart attack is possible if there is a snake slinking around. (yeh, from me...NO Snakes!)
  9. Quite a few years ago I was traveling around Augusta, GA and heard on the radio that a local car dealer was giving away hummers. I stopped by and found to my surprise that there was a new vehicle called a Hummer. I was disappointed and I felt they were doing a bait and switch. They didn't care.
  10. And people wonder why I say it is ok to shoot people who are stealing. Like the old saying goes, "some people just need shooting". Here's a question for ya, what do you think this scum would have done to the elderly home owner, if he had been home when they broke in? PS, I do not want to turn this into a choot em or not choot em thing.
  11. I have been on the golf course and when someone was going to tee off, they have been encouraged to "get some yonder" with their tee shot.
  12. My father and men from his generation often referred to their wallets as pocketbooks. Watch some of the movies from the 30's and 40's and you will hear wallets called pocketbooks. My dad would say, "Get my pocketbook off the bookcase and bring it here please." It is a special memory. ETA, if you look at the word "pocket" "book", it explains why they were called that.
  13. That reminds me, it's time to get the oil changed.
  14. Yeah and we have been meaning to talk to you about that. Some of us outsiders are having to do double duty in jail, just to pick up your slack. Just saying, maybe you better get on the stick.
  15. Some? Where I grew up, we always cut out the light if we weren't in the room. After all, electricity doesn't grow on trees.
  16. Yep, we aren't a people to give up on a phrase just because it has a little age on it. We also "mash" buttons on the elevators.
  17. I am sure you know why the phrase "crank the car" is used. But just in case. Back when cars were first invented, they did not have an electric starter, they had a crank at the front of the car and you would actually have to "crank the car" in order to get the car started. Here is a picture of a car with the crank. BTW, "crank the car" is not truly a southern phrase, the whole country used it
  18. On Judge Judy today a young lady was on suing over a car deal. That is not what makes her exceptional and why the federal government needs her help. Here is why the federal government badly needs her help. According to this lady, she is a single mother who has 7 kids, all living at home, ranging in ages from age 18 down to age 4. She does not have a job, nor do any of her kids have a job. Her total income is the $625 a month that she receives from SSI for one of the kids. That she says is her only source of income. Even given the fact that she has section 8 housing, the fact that sh
  19. Awwww, trust me, I am an old Smyrna boy, as far as the city politics goes, it's all about the same. I liked Max's daddy, I was his paperboy for years, but as far as Maxie goes.....well, let's just say, I knew Max's Daddy, I worked for Max's Daddy and Max is no Max's Daddy.
  20. Watching hummingbirds is the perfect activity for those with ADD.
  21. Soooooo, should we practice crime prevention and choot em? Who would be the best person to shoot at a hummingbird anyway? A drunk who has the shakes? (they are quick little buggers, get it, always flitting around) PS I do not advocate the shooting of hummingbirds, I enjoy watching them, not shooting them.
