jazzbo Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Posted February 18, 2005 Weird! My wife talks about "hot monkey love" . . . and she's an Irish Catholic from D. C. area! Maybe it's just because she's married to a hot monkey who loves her? Quote

Big Al Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 Speaking of Foghorn Leghorn, I always liked what he once said about Miss Prissy: “That gal’s like a highway between Fort Worth and Dallas: no curves!” How’d they know? B-) Quote

Ragu Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 When I used to travel in Texas, I used to love hearing "You can piss in my ear, but don't tell me it's raining." Quote

ralphie_boy Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Busy as a one-armed paper hanger. Dumb as a bag of hammers. (Was this one already posted...?) How about "Busier than a dog in heat with four peckers". Quote

I wonder if he picked it up while stationed in Texas... Probably. Never knew if people were saying fair to midland or fair to middlin', even though I've heard it a million times. The Texas drawl just slurs it all as one word basically. Midland being the west texas town of Midland/Odessa. Quote

Of course, there's probably a Midland in every state of the union... Edited February 21, 2005 by Joe G Quote
