Oh, and JCoM, feel free to ignore me. I have just noticed that every single one of your posts I can remember from the last while have been typed in good-ol’-boy dialect, which irritates me for some reason. I guess it’s because you’re not really talking, and the affectation strikes me as a little ridiculous.
However, there’s no particular reason you should care about my opinion.
Clear sauce is thin and vinegary. I don’t much care for it.
My favorite BBQ restaurant is Country’s in Columbus, GA, and I like their “mild sauce”, which is the darkest of the three bottles on the table. It’s sweeter and tastes less like mustard.
I had never heard of “white sauce” until I moved to the Huntsville area.
You guys are making me hungry… maybe I’ll stop by Lawler’s on the way home.
I’ll have to look for that artist next time I’m down there. I haven’t noticed him, but then it’s not unusual for my powers of observation to be somewhat diminished, both upon entering and exiting the Pink Pony.
Well, my sister is one of them too, and now she’s in Oregon, just 20 miles from the California line. Word to the wise and alla that.
On the contrary, I care about everybody’s opinion. Caring doesn’t always translate into action, but I do take notice. If it’s any consolation I used to drive my grandmother (rest in peace) batshit when I was a young 'un by intentionally butchering the King’s English. Could be it’s one of them-there lifelong compulsion thingys.
Sad, but true IME. I’ve known two Alabamians, both graduates of Auburn, both EEs, and both the absolute dumbest, sanctimonious jerks I’ve ever known. Small sample size, I know, but its all I’ve got to go on.
Speaking of fun, how are you doing with that horse you have, the one that needs occasional attitude adjustments? The one your granddaughter gets along so well with?
I’ve provided my TB with his own pet teenager, which he enjoys, even when she gets a little silly with him.
I know two people from Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. They’re both lesbians and they’re both kind of manly.
Hmm.
Must mean that pretty much everyone in U-C, IL is a lesbian. (Does anybody have the monopoly for Rottweiler breeding for that city, cause I’m betting you could really rack up!) Or for that matter- how about a Hooters only the waitresses wear cut-off shorts with a wallet chained to them and the restaurant has a Peterbilt theme and 4 kinds of ranch dressing on tap at every table and you can bring your dogs in— MAN! It would make the Klondike Gold Rush look like New Coke in profitability!
ETF: Very nice braids! That’s one thing teenage girls do well, make braids. I’m certain that some day I’ll discover other things teenage girls do well, but that day has not yet arrived.
Regarding the horse you inquired about: That horse was, if you recall, somewhat of a fool. As frequently happens with fools, he met an untimely demise. With no provocation whatsoever, he tore away while being led, galloped off at full speed trailing the lead rope, stepped on the rope, somersaulted head over heels and broke a foreleg. Luckily, his pet teenager wasn’t around when that happened.
His place has been taken by two mares, ladies of * a certain age,* if you will. Suffice to say that their papers would admit either of them to bars in the USA. Being quite sensible and experienced as indicated by their stage of life, these mares have restored peace and tranquility to horse riding on this farm. Their teenage pet is happy once again, and all would be well if only it would rain.
LouisB! You were born and raised a Texican, have chosen to live in the only state in the US that finds the mundane chore of counting votes to be challenging, and you would disparage another state?
Have you no shame, Sir?
I didn’t until now; you’ve shown me the error of my ways and I will never disparage any other state but Texas for evermore. In fact, one cannot disparage Texas enough.
Fair enough. (Actually, you can also disparage Mississippi, Wisconsin, and most states beginning with a vowel OTHER THAN Alabama and (due to treaty) Utah.
Of course, the ironic thing is this stupidity has been caused by big government, the kind of thing advocated by many of these groups (hell, plenty on this message board).
