Hell Giggles, good god woman, you are modern day Cliff Clavin, a bucket load of information that far exceeds the attention span of this genetically ancestorial southern boy who resides in the tree hugging whale kissing Pacificnorthwest. In other words, ya'll love your history, and that is fine and dandy, but what really counts, today, in my opinion, and that is all that matters, is this...... Winthrop starts tommorrow, some are leaving early, we'll be heading out in the afternoon, I just got my order from Alligator Records, (Buckwheat Zydeco and Eric Lindell) handfull of black Alligator t-shirts, tanks, and the last large "Country Ghetto" t-shirt. I will be a wearin' that flag with pride.....wait, that sounds a bit _ _ _ or to happy. Now, if I can just figure out what I did with about 400-500 pics on a sd card, that looked as if they wnt to the computer but are no longer on the disc, I will feel much better. I also need to take a pic of what I am going to give to JJ on Sunday night. Anyways, thanks for the history lesson professor.
Sorry if I bored you Richard! Sometimes I just can't help myself. I am a font of useless knowledge, believe it or not my nickname at work is Cliff-ette! If you ever need a partner for Trivial Pursuit, I'm your woman!! :p I just thought it interesting & fitting that JJ used an iconic image of rebellion and pride as the cover of Country Ghetto.
Hooray for your show tomorrow, I am sure you will get a good one, the boys have been blazing hot lately! I look forward to your review! =) ---------- Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History

Cliff Clavin is one of my favorite American heros...
“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
THAT is pure genius.
And not for nothing, but Gadsden County, Flarda (Quincy is in the House!) is named after Gen. Gadsden.

You are correct E., Cliff's "Buffalo Theory" ranks right up there with Occam's Razor & E = mc2, it's some of the most brilliant thinking to come out of the last millenium!......I loved Cheers, damn I miss that show!!
It's FLARDA. ---------- "Now if you happened to come down here tonight...and you don't wanna hear the person next to you sang, and you don't want'em to dance, cause you might spill your drink, you came to the wrong show in the wrong venue."
A Freudian slip is saying one thing and meaning a mother.
We should not forget Cliff's Nostrodamous-esque prophecies either!
"If you were to go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. By my calculations, our next president has to be named Yellnick McWawa."
Ah. Cheers. Where did the good TV shows go? There are a few that are cleverly written these days, but no like the glory years of the late 80s, early 90s.
Now, we can throw must of the music from that era out......
big bang theory, 30rock , it's always sunny in philadelphia make me laugh nowadays if i have time for TV but nothing will ever beat cheers or seinfeld writers just don't write cliff-like caracters anymore ---------- "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." - Herman Melville
For the most part I agree with you Swamp Cracka, but the 80's did produce some fantastic music by Peter Gabriel!! =) ---------- Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History
Big Bang is funny and I like the blondie on the show. 30 Rock is borderline hilarious - not a big fan of Tracy Rock and Jane Krakowski. Firefly - you are right - there is no "Cheers" or "Seinfeld" out there right now. The wife and I like "How I Met Your Mother" and "Lost" pretty much totally freaks me out.
I'm not one to get into dramas much - I got enough drama in my life to watch someone else's on TV.
giggles - I was being mostly all encompassing about 80s and 90s music - there certainly are some gems to find.
Sammy, say you know you shouldn't be so surprised there you know. Women can't really resist a thick crop of jaw hair. It goes back to... it goes back to Androcles.
(Norm: "Now wait a second, wasn't that Androcles the guy who pulled the thorn out of a lions paw?")
That's what he told his wife when she found the scratches on his back huh. I'm telling you guys, babes and beards.
"I'm not one to get into dramas much - I got enough drama in my life to watch someone else's on TV."
This made me laugh out loud. AMEN. Thanks.
