Macca, I am and was probably the only man in America who did not and does not know these things.
Thanks for the enlightenment!

Mr. Jim , after the second big meal yesterday , I was looking at some of my grandmothers photo albums and found 2 newspaper clippings of you campaigning at the grocery store that was beside CCB in Stokesdale (the one owned by Bill Richardson?) and again at the store run by Vic Tysor at the corner of Ellisboro and 65. I can remember going there with my dad and grandad , hoop cheese under glass 6 oz cokes moon pies and RC colas, and the braintrust of Stokesdale sitting around the stove.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ HOWDY!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What fun! What fun! Ok... so we didn't caravan outta here until about 5, but there was still enough merchandise left to keep us busy until 1:00 pm or so.
Surprisingly, everyone out there was real nice today. No attacks, and no fighting over merchandise. Of course, there were also no carts to be found anywhere so we had to haul/drag everything! Arrrrrgh!
The lines were unbelievable. At Kohl's they wrapped both ways around the entire perimeter of the store.
Lacka (who went with me cause shem's a real fine bargain hunter) finally figured out how to combat those lines though....
We carried walkie talkies (of course- channel 12/25) and shem'd call me from 'location' somewhere in the store and LOUDLY over the radio announce, "Hey Cracker! Get back here quick! Chris Daughtry's signing autographs back here in linens!"
The other customers who were 'eavesdroppin' on my radio conversation would then run to the back to see Chris (who wasn't there, natch) and the line would thin out greatly so I could check out quicker and we could move on to the next adventure!
That Lacka's a mess. 
Came home, rested, and now I'm going back out there....

| Hey, Mr Jim, did you see that feller a little bit ago on HGTV with the computer Christmas lights? I only caught a glimpse, so I don't know how he did it, but it was a dazzler!

Pappy, while I didn't see that particular broadcast, I am pretty familiar with how they are now using computerization to bring some of these home decoration displays alive with motion, sound and animation.
For those interested in this sort of thing, check out the following link and click on the "Showing Off" thread on the left side of this website, which literally has hundreds of well decorated homes. The web site is for the decorating and lighting aficionados ("lighting nuts") amongst us.

Yeah, well, I wondered why Chris was nowhere to be found. I did see a few other notables, though, and might have had a glimpse of Pappy checkin' out the collection of jugs. Hey, by the way, did anyone happen to see the golden toilet in the parking lot on Battleground? Some spoose is going to be mighty happy to find that under the tree!

thanks Pappy.
I truly believe we have to look forward, quit wringin' our hands over the past.
The towns future shouldn't be all that hard to predict. Make a plan, then work the plan.
The windshield is a lot larger than the rearview mirror.......Look to the future.

Wasn't that how Rodney Dangerfield registered for college in one of his shows. Made a sign Bruce Springsteen was outside signing autographs, and immediately wound up at the front of the registration line??????

All I can say is I sure am glad ya'll didn't tell a fib and announce that Pappy was passing out free samples of his kickypoo joy juice from outta the jug out in the parking lot or else you would have started a stampede out the front door. I can't even begin to imagine the havoc, chaos and damage that would have caused.
'Course Steve-O and I might just have to try that the next time we go shoppin' and there is a line at checkout........
