Maybe this is a bit of a curve ball, but when I was stationed in Germany, I enjoyed reading the Stars & Stripes, a newspaper published for U.S. military forces overseas. One of the staff reporters was a woman named "Dee Dee Arrington Doke"; I think hers is one of the most interesting names I've ever heard.
If we're doing names, there's a girl who lives around here who participated in the County Fair and 4H, so her name was in the paper a few times. Her name is Rusty Clutter. Is that the BEST farm girl's name or what?
Ya right. Get a grip. "I'll be back", "Go ahead, make my day". "We all got it comin' kid".He's got donut holes between his ears. What a dingbat. Where I came from in Canada everyone was very polite, there was no excuse for not being so no one was fat. They were Stout. That cracks me up. What would the kids of today think if some one said."we have a STOUT problem in this country". Would they have any idea what that was? In this same Canadian Scottish culture we had a ahem few that would take a drink or two but there was never anyone who was DRUNK oh no that would be horrible so they were, tight,Ha ha. He's had a "few drops". He's been bendin' his elbow a bit. We also had quite a few terrible cheapskates around but they were not that. They were Thrifty or Canny with a penny. We had many who were just the most horrible messy people that you could ever imagine with their houses falling down around their heads even though they could buy a whole herd of cattle for cash. If you said that they were horrible in their habits that was a no no. You would be rebuffed with this phrase "he's a good farmer". Now that phrase could mean just what it says but it usually ment that this person was good for nothing else.
Well "howdy do" there Uncle Angus, "long time no see". "Yepper" last time I saw you, you was "Knee high to a grasshopper" It's really great to see you again,"Fer sure". Tell me, How have you been? Oh "Fair to middlin" I'd say. It's been a really good summer,the crops look really good," I ain't complainin'."
Have you been down to Toronto at all lately? You know I really hate "The big smoke", The place is just full of "City slickers" that "don't know their head from a hole in the ground" and don't know ,"what's what'. I don't know about that I kinda like it there. "Well you can take it or leave it", That's "No nevermind to me". I hear there's some rain coming in tomorrow. It'll be nothing but a "mizzle" "no doubt" I heard that your neighbour Roddy is havin' some problems. Yep, he's "three sheets to the wind" most of the time and I don't doubt he's about ready."to cash in his chips" anytime. I really feel sorry for him. Well you know "life ain't no picnick". Well I think I'll head back into town now, I gotta spend some time with Granny before I go home. Well you tell your Granny she's "barkin up the wrong tree" trying to keep "that there" town "dry". Folks want to get their "medicine" and "by George" if they have to drive all over"Hells half acre" to get it they'll "giterdone".
Well, "see ya later" Uncle. Hey there boy,"don't be a stranger",Take it easy" there now, "ya here".
