332 – 23 Days to Vacation!

It’s coming quick, and with a short week this week, it’ll be even quicker!

I was talking to my daughter this weekend about the differences in dating now and when I was dating, so many years ago (don’t ask how many).
It seems “texting” is a normal part of the dating process, but I told her I’m a firm believer that I wouldn’t ever “text” if I were dating today. I find it cold and impersonal. If I want to talk to the other person, I’d call. I’d want to hear the other person’s voice. She disagreed.
I’m reminded of my absolute favorite commercial of all time, that left a lasting impression on me. It’s from United Airlines, please watch it and tell me what you think.

Our UCONN Women won again, their 75’th in a row! They honestly look unstoppable, and it would take a complete breakdown of the fabric of the universe for them to lose.

At left, I’ve added a new blog I read. My friend Derek from Switzerland, via Australia. He’s a good read… give him a try! (he’s also a singer and author!)

On to something funny (other than Derek):

For my buddy Bubba:

Southern Comments
Exclamations:

"Well knock me down and steal muh teeth!"
"Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit."

Threats:

"I'll slap you so hard, your clothes will be outtastyle."
"This'll jar your preserves."
"Don't you be makin' me open a can o' whoop-ass on ya!"

Good Things/Compliments:
"Cute as a sack full of puppies."
"If things get any better, I may have to hire someone to help me enjoy it."
"Gooder than grits."

The Weather:

"It's so dry, the trees are bribing the dogs."
"It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch."
Wintry roads are said to be "slicker than otter snot."

Descriptions:

A bothersome person is "like a booger that you can't thump off."
When something is bad then you say, "that ain't no count."

If something is hard to do, it's "like trying to herd cats."
"He ran like his feet was on fire and his ass was catchin."
A hectic schedule keeps you "Busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor."

Insults:

"She's uglier than homemade soap."
"Your momma's so fat, when she stepped up on the scale to be weighed, it said 'To be continued.'"
"He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
"Uglier than a lard bucket full of armpits."
"The wheels still turning, but the hamsters dead"
Any insulting statement is always followed by "bless his/her heart."
Example: "She's dumber than a door knob, bless her heart."
