Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Glad that Grace's surgery went well.
PBS is doing a story on Jonestown. I'm remembering being 17, horrified, and baffled again.
It boggles me to think of adult, contributing members of society who don't have the immediate, visceral reaction I do to those videos of stillness and that vat of purple liquid.
Sorry to be a downer.
Yay, Grace! Now go be uneventful for a while.
Oh, Allyson, I'm so happy for you!
rock on!!!!!
this is all SO WEIRD!!
Allyson, that's fantastic! Holy moly. See? You don't suck!!!
So glad Grace's surgery went well! May Grace and Noah have some undramatic months now to get big and strong.
Southern: Billboards with Bible verses on them. Driving past three giant crosses set up in farmers' fields. (I had to explain that one to a Northern friend of mine once.) Biscuits and milk gravy. That crack of candy bars, the Goo-Goo Bar. Catfish jamborees. Sweet tea served in Ball jars. Cake walks. Squaredances. Pretending to swig the moonshine when the gallon jug comes your way, just to impress the guys. I'm getting nostalgic for a place I don't even want to go back to.
NASCAR
I'm glad Grace's surgery went well.
The South: Brunswick stew. Impeach Earl Warren signs. Moon Pies and RC. George Wallace. The Birmingham church bombing. Cornbread without sugar, the way god intended it. Collards. Gone with the Wind. Ted Turner. Picking cotton. Tobacco fields. Blind Willie McTell. Johnny Mercer. The Allman Brothers. REM. Peanuts in Coke.
Dukes of Hazard.
