Chazzy, Re:"BTW -- Sudo, I still think I liked the photo of you in overalls the best..." Well here it is.. give it a minute to load.. sudo

AHAT, I'm still waiting for your e-mail, girl. Gonna' be through there on the 19th. I've heard from Highway and that might not work out but.. we'll also be through there in September for Carol's brother's wedding. sudo

Adios, Re:"Did you have any family member in TWI? You look like this guy who dated my evil WOW sister. He was from Ten." Nope.. no family members. Maybe we Southeners just all look alike! Hee-hee! sudo

Ex10th, Re:"..which is near my aunt's house (Aunt Vivian, remember her and Dick?)" But of course I do! They had two daughters, Lauren and Amy if I remember correctly, who did baby sitting for us. That Lauren was a handful but golly.. she must be in her '30's by now! I hope she's doing alright. Haven't heard from them in a while now. You really gonna' call us up and maybe meet for dinner? sudo

Ginger, Re:"To tell you the truth, I don't know where it's at with your thread anymore anyway!" As they used to say on TV.. "stay tuned"! sudo

Hey ladies, Ya'll are just giving me the big head. I was looking in here this morning and saw I omitted something and now feel like a jerk. I didn't post a pic of the star of the wedding... the bride! So while I'm waiting for Just Call Me 'Al' to show up here's the bride and groom.. sudo

Al, Re:"An sudo was playin the piano!!! An doin a damn fine job of it too!!!" You flatter me, my man, but yes.. I do have a musical background. So you remember that wedding, huh? I remember you had to string the chairs, just to make sure it was all done properly, too. Nothing like Corps training, eh? Now here's some pics you might remember.. first one is me at the wedding.. ....and next one is a groupshot including YOU!!! Now are you going to 'fess up as to which one is you?? sudo P.S. The little boy (Carol's nephew) is now a college graduate and 22 years old. My how time flies!

Paw, Just click on the "Today's Active topics". You'll see that the Nostalgia thread isn't registering any since three days ago. What gives? Tomorrow, I suspect, it won't even be listed. sudo

Harvey tells his doctor his sex life is unsatisfactory. He suggests Harvey should go to an adult movie where he may pick up some new ideas. After going to the movie, Harvey gets home late and his wife says, "Harvey, where have you been? I've been worried about you." He explains about his doctor's advice and says, "You know, all of the women in the movie, they MOAN." "Harvey, if you want me to moan for you, I'll moan." They go to bed, things begin to progress and his wife asks, "Harvey, you want me to moan for you?" "NO! DON'T MOAN YET!" Things start getting even hotter and again his wife asks, "Harvey, you want me to moan now?" "NO! DON'T MOAN YET! DON'T MOAN YET!" Finally the magic moment arrives and when his wife asks if he wants her to moan, Harvey screams, "YES!!! MOAN NOW!!! MOAN NOW!!!" His wife says, "Harvey, the lines at the mall were so long and the prices so high..." sudo

ex10th, Re:"Maybe I should plan this for our 20th anniversary in July? We spent our honeymoon at the Peabody." No kidding? Well, get this.. Carol and I also honeymooned at the Peabody! We also got married there in 1985.. on Pearl Harbor Day! I kid around and say that's a date that will live in infamy. Hee-hee! This was back in the days that we were both "in", of course, and Rev. John Hill performed the ceremony. It was simply great! We got married in the Continental Ballroom and had the reception in the Nathan Bedford room complete with a band that could play anything from swing to top 40. Ummm.. had hot food and an open bar for everyone, too. In fact... I'm pretty sure your parents were there. Heck, nearly everybody else in the branch was there. Hey! If you're going to be in town in July, why don't you give us a call? We're in the phonebook in Germantown. sudo

Paw, Re:"Then, of course, the rebel forces of nostalgia came in and declared my thread null and void and started their own thread." What can I say? I'm innocent, I tell you! I was going to try it your way but.. it's that dang rebel group! So.. kindly delete the old Nostalgia threads, if you would. That clears up some storage space as well. sudo

Hope, If you click on those 'active topics' you won't see the 'Nostalgia' anywhere on it even though it is probably the most active thread. Yep... some bugs have to be worked out. sudo

Oooh!! This could really work out. In fact, we'll be coming through in July as well. We'll probably be leaving mid day on July 19th and staying around Sevierville for the night. Problem is we could be getting in kinda' late. What you guys think? Why don't ya'll e-mail me at: dbdbdb@midsouth.rr.com. We'll see if we can't make plans! sudo

In a little country town back in the hollars of Tennessee there lived a braggart, John Smith, who would always bore anyone who listened with how he knew every important person in the world. The town folk would just roll their eyes because they had known this man since he was a little boy. But one day a stranger came into town and while passing the barber shop he heard 'ole John bragging about how he and the governor were fishing buddies. The man happened to be a lobbyist at the state capital in Nashville and thought he would have a little fun with John. "OK", the man said. "I'll bet you $100 you don't even KNOW the governor!". John didn't hesitate. "Look, fella'", John replied."I'll be there at the governor's mansion tomorrow. And when the governor comes out he'll come over and shake my hand." The man just laughed inside and told John that it was a deal. Unfortunately for the man, the next day, the governor DID come out and sure enough he walked over, shook John Smith's hand and had a little chit chat. The man couldn't believe it but decided to really show this braggart for what he was. So, in front of the crowd he again challenged John and told him the bet was now $500 that he didn't know the President of the United States. "Sure, I know 'ole George", John said."Why we used to drag race together down in Texas". The man was red faced now and told John that he had lobbying to do in Washington DC and that in fact he was going to be at the White House the very next day. Sure enough, the next day came and there was the man standing outside the White House gates right next to John Smith when the President and his motorcade left the North Gate. Suddenly, the motorcade stopped, a window of one of the limousines rolled down and George Bush reached out and shook John Smith's hand! The man just COULDN'T believe it. He then gave John the ultimate challenge.. He bet John $5000 that he didn't know the Pope. Well, for $5000 John said he would fly to Rome and prove that he did know the Pope. This was going to be good the man thought. He'd finally show John up for the backwoods braggart that he was. The next week, there was the man and John standing in St. Peter's Square with a crowd of thousands waiting for the Pope to appear. John slipped off and the man was left straining to see what was happening up on the balcony. Suddenly the crowd roared but the man couldn't see too clearly because the balcony was so far away. But he could make out that there were two men up on the balcony so he turned to an Italian lad standing next to him and asked him what he saw."There are two men on the balcony, sir", the lad replied. "I'm not sure who the one in the spiked hat carrying a staff is but the man next to him is John Smith!" sudo

3Cents, I'm with you and Ex but we have to realize that these boards work differently from Ezboards and some things just aren't as easy to do. I know Paw's tried to do just that but it fouled up some other things. Personally, I'd like to see the bugs worked out of what's considered a popular thread. The 'Nostalgia' thread under the GS Reading Room is now on it's 3rd page but not ever listed. Paw's probably scratching his head over a lot of things right now. Let's give him some time. sudo

Ginger, Sometimes I like watching The Sopranos but I refuse to watch it if any of my kids are coming through the room. The language is terrible. sudo

AHAT, Re:"Sudo, next time you and Carol head over this way, let me know and I can meet ya most anywhere on I-40 east of Knox.." Here's what we do.. we go through Knoxville and then hit I-81 North. We then get on I-77 past Wythville, VA and come down south into NC. Would there be an exit just out of Knoxville that would be close to you? We'll for sure be coming through at Thanksgiving. Ah! I love the Smokies in the Fall! sudo

Satori, Re:"I don't think it's too helpful at this point, but we're not used to it yet. the threads on GS are much more personal in nature than other boards, so the rating may be less suitable here, but it may grow on us." That's my thinking as well. Plus, you could get some mean spirited folks deliberately rating a thread low as some kind of vendetta. Hard to believe but there are actually folks who don't like each other here. I was messing around with the vote thingee myself and rated the 'yo momma thread in the Humor forum a one *. It made the thread go from a ***** to a *** in just one vote and... I couldn't undo it afterwards. I had to post Adios to let her know what I had done and didn't mean it but I can certainly see how it could be abused. For that reason I no longer use the rating function at all. sudo

AHAT, We are in your neck of the woods once or twice a year when we go to NC to see Carol's family. I've thought about ringing some of you East TN folks up but we're usually making breakneck speed to make the trip at one sitting. Man, East TN is some gorgeous country! I've got an open invitation out, though, for anyone lolly gagging through Memphis to give me a call. I'd love to meet some GS'ers face to face. Ex10, You might not believe this but I prefer Tops barbeque for sandwiches. I was raised on the stuff and don't particulary care for all the sweet sauces that are so popular here now. I like the old vinegar based sauces. You might know this already but remember Tom and Linda Mausolf? They divorced some time ago and she is now married to Art Polling but she was raised in Memphis and her daddy owned the Tops Barbeque restaurants! I've found that if I want ribs done "right" I have to do them myself as I don't care for what you get in the restaurants around here. I'd have to agree with your mom that Gridley's is probably the best of the lot. Did you know they put cumin in their beans, though? Tastes funky to me. I guess we Memphians take our barbecue pretty seriously, huh? (G) sudo

Satori, Geocities no longer allows you to link to their sites but never fear.. I've got just the thing for Ex! Happy Birthday Ex!!!! sudo

Happy Birthday Suz!!! sudo

One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with a demon... Demon: Why so glum, chum? Guy: What do you think? I'm in hell. Demon: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here... you a drinkin' man? Guy: Sure, I love to drink. Demon: Well you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, beer.. you name it! Guy: Gee, that sounds great. Demon: You a smoker? Guy: You better believe it! Demon: Alright! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out! If you get cancer - no biggie - you're already dead, remember? Guy: Wow...that's....awesome! Demon: I bet you like to gamble. Guy: Why yes, as a matter of fact I do. Demon: Cause Wednesday you can gamble all you want. Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, whatever... If you go bankrupt...well you're dead anyhow. Demon: You into drugs? Guy: Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean... Demon: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack. Or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want and if ya overdose - that's right - you're dead - who cares! O.D.!! Guy: Yowza! I never realized Hell was such a swingin' place!! Demon: Are You gay? Guy: No..... Demon: Ooooh (grimaces) You're gonna hate Fridays... sudo

Adios, That's great! We'll all get together so you can taste Carol's potato salad and my bar-be-qued ribs and chicken! If it looks like it's really gonna' happen, click on my name and get my e-mail address. I can clue you in on good places to live and places to avoid. Memphis isn't a sleepy little town anymore. The metro area is over a million population, now. Actually, you'll be in Millington, no? Now, that is a sleepy little town full of country boys and souped up cars. More muffler shops in Millingtom than the rest of the state put together. Hee-hee! But the rest of the area is pretty metropolitan. Lots of ethnic restaurants (have you guys ever eaten Thai or authentic Cuban food?) and all kinds of cultural goings on. We have the fastest growing Hispanic population in the state and some of the Mexican restaurants are to die for! We have all your usual artsy bohemian spots as well as the tourist (read "Elvis" and "blues") sites. I think you might like it here if you can put up with the Summer heat. But as they say around here... it ain't the heat... it's the stupidity. (G) sudo

Adios, Re:"On a side note...I gave us five stars today. We are down to three. I guess some don't like it." That was me messing with your thread. I gave it a one star rating and it brought it way down. I think it must go by the number of votes. Tell you what.. why don't you go and rate my Hair Cut thread a one star and see if it doesn't bring it way down as well? Probably one vote wouldn't make much of a difference if there were, say, 50 votes but if it was just you and me voting, it'd make a big difference. I think they let you vote on a thread only one time, though. I didn't mean to offend you. Heck, I think 'yo momma jokes are pretty funny. I was just testing out the voting thingee. sudo ('fessing up)

Adios, Count those stars again. I think there are five of them, no? The answer is that the forum computer makes an assesment of how good the thread is... 'yo momma warranted no stars but my excellent joke made the computer LOL! sudo P.S. It also might have helped that I rated the thread a 5-star rating when I posted it. Hee-hee!
