I would have thought the answer was OYKW??? 😃

I’ve got to get back to Nashville someday. We have a friend in Murfreesboro.

We also got to get back to Nashville Indiana some day. Not nearly enough time to explore a very interesting area. We went to this one antique shop run by (no lie) three drunken inbred hillbillies who basically sat on the porch and chewed Redman while we shopped. We both heard banjos in the background somewhere. This was more in Gnaw Bone \<sic?\> --------- but still one of those Kodak memories.

Found out we may actually have Christmas Day off. No pay ------ but until now we had been told prepare to have to work that day. Just the chance is a treat!

There should be a SDMB contest to list the pun and see if we can guess the (insert insult that I will not be banned for using) that posted it.

:rolleyes:

**ruble** , I hate to break it to you, but those three inbred hillbillies in little Nashville are giving y’all a show. I stop  
every couple of years to see one of my HS classmates who has a shop there. He introduced me to them. They all have bachelor’s degrees and one has a masters. But they are quite entertaining! 🙂

ETA: When you get down to the Boro, holler. There are enough of us who are local that we should be able to find a good BBQ joint that we all agree on. 🙂

They were indeed. Being there for Bikerfest they were among the more normal people we met that weekend and we may have disappointed _them_. I was really surprised that in like 12 antique shops from there east on (whatever that main east/west drag was) that I only scored one meat cleaver. I had really high hopes in some place that much “farmy”.

I paid to replace wheel bearings today; the Buick no longer grinds.  
Yes, there is a new MMP but I am a Bad Southern Boy.  
Kiss my grits!
