  1. Watching this, I was thinking about driving a car. You can slide onto the seat and start the engine and drop it in gear while you're still pulling the door shut. I know that's possible, because I've done it. When I was in a hurry. In an older car without all the modern safety features. But it just makes more sense to shut the door before you put it in gear. And it just seemed to me - a non-rider - to make more sense to put your foot in the strirrup before you go riding away.
  2. Aussie rhyming slang Dog's eye is pie. Dead horse - Aussies don't pronounce the r in horse so it's more like haus - is sauce.
  3. I'll admit the pie looks good, but it doesn't look good enough to post it twice within 15 minutes.
  4. Y'all need to find a different bank. The one time where I was taking large amounts of cash, I went down and took out 9,000 and they gave me 90 hundred-dollar bills. And the next day I went back 6,000 more. 60 hundred-dollar bills. I didn't give 'em any advanced notice. I just walked up and said I wanted to make a withdrawal. I did it over two days because I didn't think it was any of the irs's business. And if I had taken the whole 15K the bank would have told them.
  5. I wonder if the night shoot was the standard one-in-four?
  6. I'm watching Rio Bravo. Dean Martin climbs on board the horse. Sticks his left foot in the stirrup, swings over the saddle, and has his right leg hanging down. Starts the horse on down the street while he is feeling for the stirrup with his right foot. A little later Ward Bond climbs on a horse. Does the same thing. Starts off down the street while he's still feeling for the right stirrup with his foot. Is this a common thing for riders. Or is it more of a "the director said he don't care if you get your foot in the stirrup or not, you're supposed to swing aboard and ride off stage right" kinda thing? "This movie is on a schedule and we ain't got time for you to be sittin' there tryin' to get your foot in the hole!"
  7. When she was 6 or 7 I sent my granddaughter a birthday card with ten $2 bills in it. She shows them to her father and asks if they are real money. He looked, and told her, "no baby, Grandpa sent you play money". My daughter looked over and said, "no, those are real. Grandpa collects $2 bills". How do you get to be 35 years old and not know that a two-dollar bill is a real thing? Back in the late 80s or very early 90s, Target was running a promotion to get people to sign up for their credit card. If you applied for a Target card you would get either a brand new factory fresh $2 bill, or $5 in store credit. I'm one of the ones that took the $2 bill. I'm sure they laughed up their sleeve at the stupid people that took the cash, but I never shopped at Target. I had been in there a few times and everything they had cost too much. It was the same stuff at Walmart and Kmart but it was cheaper at Walmart and Kmart. And Target didn't sell guns. So I was happy to take the $2 bill.
  8. 16? The sideSITE (learn to spell, otto)I was just on said 13, but no matter. Of the 13 they listed, I have heard of most of them, and seen five of them. But the only one that I knew the two of them were in was FROM NOON TILL THREE. She was in THE MECHANIC? BREAKHEART PASS? I didn't know that.
  9. I have a picture. I am trying to identify it. I believe it is a grizzled tree kangaroo. If I'm incorrect, any idea what it is?
  10. So they named the town "delinquents", which I suppose makes sense when the entire country is full of convicts. And nobody in the town noticed they were spelling it wrong?
  11. I knew you all had trouble spelling words down there. But spelling delinquent like that? Wow.
  12. Something I always wondered about that song. It's a little family farm. Daddy and brother and sister work the farm. Brother got married and moved to Tupelo. The virus got Daddy and he's dead. Mama's depressed and don't want to do nothing, so she's obviously not out working in the fields. How is Mama and sister surviving? Don't sound like sister's doing much farming, being up on the ridge throwing flowers in the river. They sharecropping out their farm?
  13. I really liked the samurai wannabe.
  14. How hot is it? It's so hot the farmers are feeding their hens crushed ice, so they won't lay hard boiled eggs.
  15. This meal comes with dessert.
  16. Cuz we got a little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night Yeah we got a little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way We're going to roll this F--uh, TRUCKIN' convoy 'cross the USA Con-vooooy
