LOL Five, that was a good one! Respect the long and low
It is not too bad this morning, very wet snow, unusual for the dry prairie. Looks like it will be watering the wheat fields by the afternoon. Now woollies can mean a type of chaps worn by the cowboys here. Just thought I would toss that one out. Wooly Chaps | Hair On Chaps
here is a fun site about them.
Oughta be a good harvest after all this global warming comin' down on the fields, eh? Assuming we get any growing season!
Whoa, them's some purty chaps. Pricey too... outta my league for sure! But gives me an idea... use a couple of those $35 lambskins from Costco and an old belt and voila, woolly chaps!
I guess I'll have to hold my nose and take my medicine ! I really don't like the taste of cherries. Thanks ya all.
Oh about the woollies, that reminded me of a girl my buddies and I knew all too well when we were teenagers. I think she was middle eastern or something. We called her the woolly mammoth behind her back, we were really bad ! She also had a major uni-brow !
Rickers - you made me think of an ad that must have been on ... oh, crikey, maybe in the late 70's or so. Remember the ad for prune juice where the person would say "Prunes??!!" and then laugh maniacally. Haven't thought of that one in a while.
But I do still have to add "Muncha-abuncha-muncha-buncha Fritos go with lunch." whenever anyone does say "Fritos".
Aww - thanks 7. Gotta love Jerry.

You said "Oh Crikey", hey I use that one all the time ! You sure you aint been using my "Hair Treatment" ?
I grew up (yea right) in southern California in the 50s and 60s and still remember (quite a feat for me these days) a milk commercial for Golden Arrow Dairy staring Johnny Downs. He danced on giant milk bottles singing "We go west, west, west, We go east, east, east." Back in those days milk was delivered to your door in returnable glass milk bottles plugged with a pog and the top covered with pleated paper cover. Those were the days when a bakery called Helms Bakery would go into the neighborhoods ( like the ice-cream trucks) with fresh breads, doughnuts etc. Their cream filled cupcakes were great.
We used to make a joke out of their name. We said;
"You son of a biscuit eater, Go to Helms bakery"

Geez, I haven't seen neighbourhood delivery of milk or bakery products since I lived in Moorhead MN in the early 1960s. Cass-Clay Dairy delivered our milk every morning... a quart of milk cost a quarter -- they used these newfangled square-topped paper cartons that made everyone look at them funny.
Milk sure was better then... maybe it didn't keep as well but it was richer and tasted better. Now I think they worry too much about skimming it exactly to just 4% butterfat, and of course the taste of aging sterilized milk does not bear discussion....
