[sir james I]

I'm waiting to see what they do with the little boxcab,like the old 520.It might have the same motor as the docksider.

[dbaker48]

Hurray for me!! I didn't even get in that last little scuffle, pays off to keep my mouth shut if I don't know what I'm talking about.   Or, maybe its because I drive a Cheby. 

[Jumijo]

Don,

My Cheby is 10 years old. 152,000 miles on it.

Afternoon everyone,

Was a good weekend here, I did some crazy stuff yesterday, involving a bike and a creek. Lets just say I got soaked!

I am going to leave the scuffle alone. I don't like to get involved with that stuff. I hope Brent didn't really mean what he said about leaving the board for a little. I enjoy talking to him when I can.

Anyway, I see people from York were happy. I was too when I came home from the Large Scale Show.

Talk to everyone later.

[fifedog]

Good afternoon y'all - Hee-Hee!!  Them Yanks think they can learn the "lingo" and pass themselves off as suthners

Dr John - SCORE TWO for you!!!!

Ok, now that I've got it under control...a ? for you computer guys.  Occasionally when I start to shut down my computer,  I'll get a pop-up that says "New Program Installed"  when I haven't installed or updated anything.  Running Windows XP and have Norton Internet Security.  Can never find anything new that has been installed.  Anyone else with this experience? 

BRENT - Hey - we need you here - even if you are from MD!!  If you don't show up, I'll have to start thinking about missing you.

anjdevil2 - Hope you are doing OK -

Dennis - Yeah - Been wondering about all that fire in Ga. We've been getting kinda dry around here and had a few fires in the mountains.  Hope Lucky is improving.

The real question here is..............WHY would anybody want to pass themselves off as Suthners ??????????  To talk the " lingo ", all you have to do is put 10 marbles in your mouth. Done.

[dwiemer]

LOL!  Gotta love people who try to enter an debate fully unprepared... Southerners... 'Here's your sign.'... NEXT!

Brent, I thought this was a fun, tongue-N-cheek friendly back at ya discussion.  I certainly was not taking any of this seriously.  If I have offended thee, I am sorry.  I too drive a "machine", but haven't mentioned the brand.  I agree that these do make for a "driving experience".  I can appologize for my self, but I also believe that no one on this thread has meant any ill thoughts.  Sometimes, we just take things a bit far. 

Bob, thanks for keeping us on the rails!  I am sure at times, it is no fun.

As for the fires, they are mostly a bit south and east of us, but we do get some of the smoke drift this way.  Smells like the forest up the street is burning down.  Some of our patients are from the affected areas.

Lucky, the dog, has had it rough.  I went to visit today and the vet says that she is getting a little better, but she has a long road ahead, if she makes it that far.  She can stand and walk for a few steps, but then just collapses again.  She also has gone blind.  We are not sure if this is as a effect of the neuro toxins, or a advancement of the disease state.  She otherwise is a healthy dog, so we will see if she will pull through this one....Thanks for the prayers folks.

Chuck, on my frequent visits to the Northern Peninsula of Michigan and Ontario, I have been asked many times if I am from Georgia because of my "Suthern" accent.  After LOL for about ten minutes, I tell them I am from Ohio.  I was told that many of the national news broadcasters hail from Ohio because everyone can understand what we are saying.

 Hello All!    Brent- I hope that you do not quit the forum due to a misunderstanding on someone elses part. At least keep in touch via e-mail if you do. Don B- Chevys are a good car to have. Same with 1688s. Nothing else like them. Take Care.

[ChiefEagles]

I don't have to fly across the USA to get to LA [Lower Alabama ]

Being from the South means when you say, "You All."  It means all your family, aunts, uncles and cousins are welcome.

If it is summer time in the South, it means you are going to be fed SWEET ICE TEA and TOMATO SANDWICHS [with lots of mayo and black pepper].  

So Yanks, shut your traps.

Got my 3 new Atlas NS highnose SD40's today.  Been busy.  Going to program them now and smoke up the train room.

See, I'm gone for a few hours and you all get out of line.  Will put all of you in "time out".

Later.

[MartyE]

Hey all.  Been a while.  All is wet here in Houston tonite.  Heading to Dallas tomorrow early for another game tomorrow nite.  Scored the Lionel hourly drawing I guess and it showed up at my door today.  My wife emailed me a pic...

Stay safe everyone!

Chief : does that mean you're mad at us and aren't going to make the popcorn tonight !!

Thanks, John

The Mouth of the South, has spoken !!!!!!!!

[1688torpedo]

 John-  Do you know how many Southerners it takes to pop a pot of Popcorn?.........It takes exactly three of them to do this task. One to hold the Pot & the other two to shake the Stove.  Another Southerner was taking flying lessons for a Helicopter & while up in the Air with his Instructor the Helicoptor crashed. The Instructor yelled at the Southerner. "What Happened & what did you do"?  The Southerner replied  "It was getting cold up here. So I shut off the overhead Fan"!  Take Care all.

After 3 years, we are still ignoring him.  Remember his popcorn is from Buckeyeland.  In fact, he owes us a debt of gratitude for cajoling him to the point that he built the bench-work. 

[bfskinner]

Now that things have had a little time to simmer down, how many of you have the intellectual honesty to admit that you actually believed that the words and phrases bimmer, Nittany, thesis, Tempus Fugit, and Bird-in-Hand were "dirty" and worse yet were designed to besmirch the reputation of another member's good wife?

Or, if you prefer, who among you recognized from the start that the whole thing was a gag composed of malapropisms, double-entendres, and just plain absurdities intended to be funny?

I'd really like to know.

Personally I would rather the whole thing got dropped keep edging it on doesn't help either way

It's important to me; but do go back to re-fighting the Civil War if it pleases you. By the way, I believe the term is "egging it on." Also, the little sign would be more effective if it were spelled correctly.
