Tyger's New Ryan Ross Bonnet

[tyger]

I'm trying to, but it ain't easy with you Goodwin boys praising your beards all the time.

Hehehehehehehe.

OK, before we go off-forum and name names that are better keep off the radar, here are my LA hotspots:

Cotton Valley, Minden, Princeton, Sibley, Dubberly, Doyline.

My people were not big city people. They were dirt-poor sharecroppers until the ammo plant was built to supply the WWII effort. Then they became dirt-poor ammo-makers.

Some day I must write a little book on what their lives were like. In a way, if I had not grown up in it, I would possibly not understand, and almost certainly not appreciate, the fact that my folks made their living picking cotton and selling it on shares. They supplemented their income selling milk (they had a COW: and sold sweet milk for 10 cents a gallon, clabbered milk sold for 5 cents a gallon). This day and age you can sit on your litterally fat, ignorant, lazy, buttocks and collect $32,000 in "benefits" and "entitlements", and you don't have to lift a finger. As a matter of fact, you are told "Do not lift a finger or else your benefits will be imperiled." Simply criminal.

Guys, I do pray that some dipweed doesn't start shreeking and wetting their kilt "Off topic! Off topic!" Or, "I am offended by the truth." But all-in-all, the contributors to this forum are a great bunch of men and women with a great sense of humor, and I just don't think anybody will squawk.

I would change the thread title to "Tyger's New Ryan Ross Bonnet, and the Lives and Times That It Has Lived In."; however, I cannot do that (despite trying).

If you don't like the topic, don't tune in. Take it easy, and have a good time.

Topics morph.
