Well, **supervenusfreak** was raised right here in Lancaster, of good German Mennonite stock. You can’t get any more PA Dutch than that. And he’d never heard of “yinz” until I moved down here. He _does_ say “oy” a lot, though. And we say “crick” in Altoona, too. And my mom can’t say “wash” without shoplifting an “R” from some poor innocent alphabet whose only crime was passing by at the wrong time and sticking it in there. ---

Oh, good old warsh! Love it. I also have a lot of “drawrers” (instead of “drawers”) and “brureaus” (instead of “bureaus”) and “crawns” (instead of “crayons”). Perhaps my family is illiterate. Back on topic … um, go Linzes! ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > He _does_ say “oy” a lot, though. Now you know I picked that up from back episodes of “The Nanny”. It seems to fit my personality. As for the “yinz” stuff, I did hear alot of that when I was a kid, from my mennonite and old order amish relatives. “Onest” too. Bacl on topic now. I would really like to smack some sense into Mama Weaver and her daughters. I really pity the poor son. ---

> [@Psycho Pirate](#): > > I’m not defending the family – they have been rude many times, and they appear to be suffering from a huge persecution complex (probably brought on by the death of their father, and them apparently not handling it very well). 😕 Why would the death of a father bring on a persecution complex (unless they think God’s out to get them too)? “Here we are just trying to live a good Christian life, and Christ hates us too!” It seemed to me that the editors were showing many more comments _about_ the Weavers before they began showing comments _by_ the Weavers. I remember wondering what all the fuss was about. It typically appears to be the case that people who are really good at something are able to go about it with quiet self-confidence. Living a good Christian life must be no different. Oh, and I was clearing out my DVR saved shows, and I had to go back to check and see if indeed a cameltoe made an appearance on the mat. I think someone needs to bone up on the definition of cameltoe, or I need to get my eyes checked. ---

I remember wondering what all the fuss was about. They did the same thing back in TAR5. Charla & Mirna kept referring to Colin as a “psychopath” and “criminal” long before we got to see the Tanzanian taxi, the broken ox, etc. ---

I think someone needs to bone up on the definition of cameltoe, or I need to get my eyes checked. I had my husband re-watch the episode with me, and he confirmed it. I don’t think it was on the mat, though - it was when they were on the dam. However, I don’t know whether anyone else saw it, so I’d be willing to accept that it was all in our minds. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I was discussing this morning with the one co-worker who’s also a TAR fan, and I realized that I cannot speak of the Weavers without using profanity. It’s always _the effing Weavers_, no matter how hard I try to cut them some slack. Me too. I wanted to defend those people because of the dead father and all, but damn. Just plain damn. I wouldn’t be surprise to learn the guy faked his death and moved to the deserts of Utah. ---

His first assignment: Help a horse lover in Michigan_ Isn’t he a carpenter? out fixing fences? So basically, he’s a millionaire performing random acts of kindness? ---

> [@Barbarian](#): > > So basically, he’s a millionaire performing random acts of kindness? Well, he’s getting paid for these random acts of “kindness.” And, more likely than not, CBS is picking up the tab for the actual “acts.” So, basically, he’s a mercenary. About what one would expect from him, I think. I’m more concerned that his hockey team is without a coach, but I’m not entirely sure he’s the kind of guy I want coaching impressionable college-age guys, anyway. ---

However, I don’t know whether anyone else saw it, so I’d be willing to accept that it was all in our minds. I’ve seen multiple cameltoes from those skankwear shorts the Weaver girls wear, the dark-haired one in particular – and if memory serves me, she’s the younger of the two, which makes it even more disturbing. Anyway, what their mother was thinking letting them out in public dressed like that still escapes me. Although from what I’ve seen, their mother’s biggest problem is that she _doesn’t_ think. About much of anything that’s not 100% delusional. ---
