The girl kisses the frog and turns it into a prince. The prince kisses the frog and it turns into a train. That is where my frog, girl and prince story begins and ends. If you drank the same stuff I did today, you would understand that a lot better. Wait, I'm missin a train, can anyone show me one?

I of course I am not always this serious of a poster, I tend to poast silly stuff most of the time but thought I woud do something different today. If the soles of your feet are sunburned it is probally a good thing you were wearing bathing trunks, right?

I knew a lady who fell asleep in the sun; she very carefully had put sun screen on so wasn't too worried about burning during a short snooze. So she stretched out, on her back, arms under head, and drifted off.
One problem: she had forgotten to put sun screen on her armpits

First world problem of the day. Ate too much Zaxby's food and now I can't eat all of this strawberry shortcake with whipped cream that my wife brought me. Don't laugh, I'm really really full.

How bad was your burn Bev?

 

[Bkocats]

How bad was your burn Bev?

LMAO - it wasn't me, but my sister-in-law's mom.
I usually forget the tops of my feet or the backs of my knees.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Burnt cookies?

The best kind.

I've never heard of anyone that full.

Suck it up and be a man
Fresh, locally grown strawberries are too good to pass up

 

[wildcatdonf]

I could eat a gallon bucket of strawberries and short cake with whipped cream.

 

[stevo51]

Good evening, morning...whatever
Any of you Marx Bros., WC Fields, fans?

 

[stevo51]

I love fresh strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. Getting tons of chiggars when picking blackberries doesn't rank high insofar as childhood recollections go, though.

Yeah yeah. Love their stuff. I got one for you, Did you know that Buddy Hackett had a role in God's Little Acre? Michael Landon played the albino.

You might have some country in you if you know about picking wild blackberries.

 

[ukfred]

I have an eight foot by eight foot strawberry patch. Moved more around to other locations, against a fence, shed, etc. Picked first good sized batch a few days back.

I finished it, just had to rest a bit.

I was mistaken, it fit.

don't know if any of you folks like vodka - but here's a tasty desert:
slice and sugar strawberries as you would for shortcake.
add enough vodka to cover and put into fridge overnight
next day, drain the vodka off - make the strawberry shortcake as usual
but keep the strawberry infused vodka for some tasty shots

 

[stevo51]

I grew up in Hardin County. My maternal grandparents lived near Millerstown in Grayson County and never drove or owned a car. All of my Mom's family could play instruments. One uncle played a lot at Renfro Valley ( dobro) and appeared several times on Hayloft Hoedown on WHAS 11 in Louisville. Another was a real fiddle player but did not like playing in front of strangers and had a drinking problem. I played drums and was a music major my first two years in college. Have recently tried banjo but that is impossible to pursue at the present. Perhaps next year. My paternal grandparents owned a farm near Nolin.

Sounds like you are telling the truth about it.

 

[Bkocats]

used to do that all the time as a kid.
kind of sad to think - growing up we roamed everywhere. Now, it makes me nervous to let my 11 year old go outside alone.

 

[ukfred]

I'm not one who normally finds something to complain about but this sunset I had to watch in Dec of 2013 in the Panhandle still has me upset.

 

[stevo51]

Yeah yeah. Love their stuff. I got one for you, Did you know that Buddy Hackett had a role in God's Little Acre? Michael Landon played the albino.

No, I did not know that. Michael Landon was in The Blob, wasn't he?

That sounds pretty danged good. I'll have to try that when I move to the other side.

 

[stevo51]

Can't stay on here long tonight
I leave you with this toast (since vodka was being discussed)-----"confusion to our enemies!"

Dang Fred, looks like you've suffered a first world problem of your own. I feel ya dawg.

My suspicions were correct, and there is nothing wrong with being country, brother.

eschew obfuscation

 

[ymmot31]

No, I did not know that. Michael Landon was in The Blob, wasn't he?

He was. I loved watching those old "horror" movies when I was a kid. In fact, I still watch them when I can.

Edit: bolded for falseness.

Hubby loves all the old horror AND the old sci-fi movies. Like some of them, but not many

First you don't like westerns, and now this?

 

[ukfred]

Yep, life gets so bad some times that when you go looking for sea shells, you find supper has washed up to you.

 

[Bkocats]

[wildcatdonf]

I looked it up. That was Steve McQueen. 1958.

 

[wildcatdonf]

That cold front got here. It's too cold. I'm going in.

 

[FutureCityCats]

Since there was no post from him previous that it could be a reply to - and since his name is misspelled,- and since I don't think he would have posted that - I wanted to call it to his attention.

Starchief5, I went over there and didn't see anything that even had FCC in it. Can you look and see if it's been changed? FCC.

 

[Bkocats]

FCC -it's gone

 

[AustinTXCat]

Cookies to all posters that are having terrible weather.

Thanks. Thunderstorms cancelled my hike to the grocery story yesterday. I'll attempt the hike again in about 2 hours.

Today, I have a Brewery District Bike Tour scheduled. Hope the weather holds. If not, I'll ride it anyway.

Must hit three breweries (Adelbert's, 4th Tap, Circle) and drink a beer at each. Participants who successfully complete the short, 1.3-mile jaunt earn a free aluminum water bottle.

Low 50s w 25-30 mph N winds here today. Miserable for a sunny day.

Low 60s and rain here yesterday. Heck, I crashed at 6:30 pm after gobbling down some ice cream.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Yesterday was National Train Day and National Dance Like a Chicken Day.

SA - LUTE!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Happy National Chocolate Chip Day.

 

[ymmot31]

Landon was in I Was A Teenage Werewolf. I knew he was in one of those old sci fi's. When you're as old as I am, the old memory just isn't what it used to be. Oh to be young and perfect again.
