It's Billie Joe McAllister Day (annual thread)

I have a frog destined for some girl’s neck at the picture show…

Obligatory Video

I’ve got some hay to bale…

I remember he never had a lick of sense, what ever happened to him?

And yet, for a song so beloved by this board,it garnered a mere 7% of the vote for the best #1 song of the year in which it was released.

Granted, it was a good year.

How can we be sure that Billie Joe wasn’t pushed off the HootchieKootchie Bridge?

People can claim that they were out cuttin’ cotton all they want; that doesn’t mean they can’t sneak off for a bit of revenge over the frog incident.

Pass the biscuits, please.

Nice looking boy though. Looked a lot like that Robbie Benson in the moom pitchers.

Gotta go. Meeting a client up on Choctaw Ridge.

Lets go to the quarry^H^H^H bridge and throw stuff off there.

Cant; there’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to plow

'Cause he was pushed off the Tallahatchee Bridge. The HootchieKootchie Bridge is in Charo County.

…but it’s a shame about Billie Joe, anyhoo.

I’d change that client meet if I were you. You’re unlikely to get his business. Seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

A travesty, of course.
I blame Sepp Blatter & Co.

Don’t forget the flowers. :smiley:

I can’t remember saying so before, and don’t want to go looking it up, but Zoe and I met face-to-face for the first time 30 years ago to the day. we had spent the previous three months getting acquainted on BBS’s on our C64s and on the phone. We married 1/1/1986.

All I know is, it was another sleepy, dusty Delta day.

A year has come and gone since we had a thread 'bout Billy Joe.

Sure hope that virus ain’t goin round agin. They do that, y’know.
