How is the peach crop this year?
When I was growing up before it was common in Alabama to compare peach production in Georgia and Alabama. Sure, Georgia is known as the Peach State and even has streets named after peaches and football bowl games and that sort of thing. But Chilton County Alabama grows some mighty fine peaches, too. Not too long ago we stopped at a fruit stand not far from Clanton and got some peaches that made those things you get at the grocery seem like so much cardboard. Mouth-watering and oh so fine.
I want me some peaches and vanilla ice cream with a dash of Tabasco sauce on top. That and some beer!

Okay, take this thread to Cuba.
Cuba Gooding’s career has been all over the map. Boyz in the Hood was some good acting, but he has really been in some doggies since then.
I can’t remember the cast of “Vetrinarian Hospital.” It was: The continuing story of a quack whose gone to the dogs. Can somebody help me out?
Well, not only does a duck’s quack echo, but that question continues to be asked with regularity on this board. Whaddya wanna bet some Guest in this just-commenced year will devote his first post to making just that inquiry?
“Inquiring Minds Want to Know” used to be the slogan for The National Enquirer. It always annoyed me that the Enquirer used the word Inquiring, and I firmly believe that this decision has led to an increase in the number of people who misspell “inquire” as “enquire.”
I guess two pages weren’t enough after all…
Well, not to hijack this thread, but I want to point something out. People worry too much about spelling these days.
If I want to spell Inquire as Enquire, it’s my right as an American, damn it!
I always turn off spell check on everything I do and when people say “you spelled that wrong,” I just say, “No, I spelled it difarentily!”
If Harry Potter used SpellCheck, would he end up being a Squib?
I’m going to go see the latest Harry Potter movie tomorrow afternoon, which illustrates one positive and one negative about being unemployed. I’m not going to work tomorrow afternoon, so I can go to the movies. OTOH, I have to conserve money, so the matinees are the only ones I can afford.
That reminds me.
The other day, my friend tired to jumpstart their car and attached the negative to the positvie and vice versa.
The cables went up in flames, but the cars weren’t hurt.
I always liked Col. Potter better than Col. Henry Blake. Blake didn’t seem very convincing or military for someone of that rank.
Well, this poem by Blake could very well be his take on the “war is Hell” theme.
If “War is hell”, and “Hell is for Children,” was Pat Benatar singing about the Children’s Crusade? Or was that Sting on The Dream of the Blue Turtles ?
I’ve never seen The Sting. Is it a good flick?
I’ve always kinda liked Sting, especially back in the old Police days. But his last few albums just don’t do it for me.
Noewaamean?
Where have all the old policemen gone?
Sounds like a parody of a Pete Seeger song.
For parody, you just can’t beat Airplane!
I like his new stuff, too. He contributed to the soundtrack of The Thomas Crown Affair - the new one, I mean, not the old/classic one. Don’t you think Pierce Brosnan is just dreamy?
