Random Thoughts XII - This Thread Delivers

[BCClone]

Angie's bad parenting thread and JC's post made me remember something from my oldest childs youth. They do this kids rodeo out at the county fair and when he was young, they had mutton busting at the end. Basically you slap a bike helmet on your kid, thrown him on a sheep, tell him to grab the rope that it loosely hanging around the sheep, tell them to squeeze tight with their legs right before they give the sheep a slap and turn it loose. These are 4-7 year old kids.

He seemed to like it even though he took some nasty spills since he seemed to stay on longer than others. About a year ago, it came up about mutton busting and I mentioned how he liked it. He then informed he was terrified of it and was always scared when he did it. He said that I got him convinced he liked it during sign ups every year when he truly didn't. I ended up apologizing for bad parenting 12 years later.

My local one is "Miller Marine! Miller Marine! Where boats something something sell something something for less at Miller Marine". Play the radio for a few hours doing yard chores and you hear that commercial jngo about a dozen times. Still cannot decipher the "something something" part. Assume it's boat and motors or something

Car Dead? Call Fred! 391-9666.

Been at least 20 years since I heard the second one. Seared in my brain.

I think my dad would disown us if we ever did that. Thankfully we are passing the finer taste of beef on to the next generation, the oldest loves prime rib and good steak.

If there's one thing I did right with her, it was to teach the daughter a good appreciation for steak. Favorite is of course the filet, but lately we've been doing a lot of mexican-inspired dishes with flank steak.

My oldest always wanted to do mutton busting. I would sign her up every year at my parent’s county fair and she never got picked. Always seemed to be rigged with locals/kids of the fair board members.

Finally a rain storm that does not miss my hood. Tried to shirt by to the north but it's actually raining here. Still not going to amount to much, another 1/4 or so on top of a 1/10 last night.

I may have to go to a farmers market or something and buy a tomato. I haven't had a real garden grown tomato in a few years. I think ISU had something to do with creating the hard tasteless texture of cardboard **** that passes for tomatoes in the store. The worst part is even the local greenhouse grown ones use the varieties crafted to be grown in fields and shipped a zillion miles.

There is no comparison between a real tomato and those mass produced hydroponic round red things.

I think it is now safe to say that it is going to amount to quite a bit. The people at the first day of the fair aren't probably real happy.

Come to Dallas in September. By then it'll be cold enough that the buds on my tomato plant won't fall off due to heat. Hell make it October.

Plus I'm walking distance to the State Fair. Which is far superior than the Minnesota one

Truth, the second cell was more of a drought buster, think I can put away the hoses and sprinklers. Was too late with them anyway, most of my ferns croaked and some of the hostas too.

Yeah it did seem to work that way now that I think of it. My son was later on, but we have a local last name (no relation what so ever but spelled and pronounced the same) and that is probably what got him.

First the tide pods, then snorting condoms, yesterday I learned that Millennials take their alcohol in reverse direction, now they are killing Hooters. I am outraged!!! May have been there only once in my life, but I'm still outraged I tell you!!!

I believe this completely. Most of my guy friends are ass/rear end guys compared to boob men. I'm totally an ass guy myself. I respect cleavage and appreciate it but if she don't have a donk, I don't care that much

We millineals also eat a lot of ass too

I remember having this conversation with my ex's father around the grill like 4 days before we broke up. He basically was like I wouldn't ever be able to date someone like my daughter, she's so flat chested. You gotta have boobs man. I retorted back that she has a great ass. Looking back that was a real weird conversation.

Swimsuits replaced with this. Ain't any I'd wear, does not appear comfortable at all. At least its something for the ladies to look at. Think 2015 is the reason with his post 8614

Enjoy this time. It's a fantastic ride. I'm already getting nervous and a little teary-eyed thinking my oldest daughter is moving out in about a year. BC's probably thinking the same except not so much the daughter thing.

I remember getting a little wistful when Hannah (the youngest) moved out.

And then a year later she moved back in.

The vixen bought a mess of tomatoes from a lady who grows them out in the country. She made a big mess of salsa last weekend (several different varieties of hotness) and it was the best tasting salsa I have ever had. The tomato flavor was outstanding.

What??!!??? Hostas don't die....in fact, I don't think you can kill them.

An hour and a half to change a light bulb at 7 in the morning. I think they literally ran out a d had to get one ran over from the other Dallas airport

On that note. When we were finally in the air, I asked the flight attendant for a screwdriver and they gave me 4 bottles of vodka and the whole can of OJ and says "it's that kinda day am I right?"

Yes. Yes it was
