Franklin Delano= F’d if I know? Put that in your pipe and smoke it… What if it was your first rodeo? “Do I cut the red wire or the blue one?” “Franklin Delano, this is my first rodeo…” “Shut the front door! No seriously, people are walking in…” boom. ---

I first heard “shut…” from the mouth of Mark Ruffalo, in _The Kids are Alright_ (the film from 2 years ago, not the Who doc from 30 years ago). I find myself using “That ship has sailed” too much lately…time to give that one a rest. Now, what about going to a quarry to throw some stuff? Did I get that right? (Sorry.) ---

“Cheese and rice!” to avoid saying JC’s name in vain. Not sure which commandment that falls under, but I know it’s one of them. ---

OK, I’ve seen Shut the Front Door on TV, but never in real life. Who says the rodeo thing? I don’t even recall it from TV. ---

> [@PlainJain](#): > > [Vern Gosdin](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--MUIkQelWg) Thanks. That explains why I’ve never heard it. I don’t listen to too much music any more. Even on the way to work I seem to listen to NPR more than the music channels. (Does that mean I’m getting old?)
