The FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread - Thread THREE!

My personal favorite was a father that tried to tell us that it was ok for his kid to wear a bicycle helmet while riding a horse.
I personally don't feel comfortable riding without a helmet... and I would always make my kids wear them until they were old enough to make thier own decisions, but we all could argue about this topic till the cows come home. :-p

LOL! Well, at least you don't hafta hear it in person. Southern english is a little different to say the least, but I'm sure you get your share of it living in South Carolina. I LOVE the accents in that part of the country. Most everybody around here just sound like rednecks. Someone on the thread here a while back was talking about hating the way Tom Hanks did accents in some of his movies and I can relate. I've NEVER heard an authentic sounding Southern accent in a movie. It just chaps my butt. They even took an authentic one (Lucas Black, who is from just down the road and sounds as country as they come) and made him do a fake one in the movie he was in about Helen Keller. Now THAT just took the cake.

Is that a grey or green dog?

Why isn't it? seems like bike and riding helmets should be designed for about the same speed and type of fall.

LOL - When I first moved out here a lady came into the library and I asked her where in Alabama she came from. Shocked the daylights out of her, but I used to be able to recognize Alabama from all the other southern states.

OH....MY....GAWD!! Cav, have you completely lost it? What in the heck do you need with 6 buses. Jimminy Crickets, you NEED a wife, just so she can smack you up side the head! LOL!!! And here I thought you were looking at old cotton wagons or something useful. {passes clean away}

[Inge_CAV]

It is bright aluminum or stainless steel.........

[HairOfTheDog]

Buyin a bus Cav?

[CindyDawg]

Oh my gosh. I don't know if I want to post my white Christmas pictures after these:')

[Duchess47]

And you don't sound like rednecks at all.

[Inge_CAV]

If I had a wife she would have worn out her skillet by now, on my pumpkin head.......

[Beaker]

Do you know what really drove me crazy? The actors trying to duplicate Boston accents in Jaws. Oh and Good Will Hunting was another bad one.

[CindyDawg]

I want to know if he's planning to cut a big hole in the back of it:')

[Inge_CAV]

Just looking so far. I am sure there must be a way to get a team of draft horses and a full size wagon inside a bus.

What do you think?

[Beaker]

What is that??

[FrogInABlender]

Hair! Are you stirring Sh!t or what?

[Duchess47]

I'd like to see them, really. One think I am thankful for here is that even though this is unusual, most people here know how to drive in it, we don't have humidity so the cold doesn't get in your bones and all of the road and street departments work real hard to keep up with it.

I am sure there must be a way to get a team of draft horses and a full size wagon inside a bus.
It might be long enough, but would it be wide enough after it's been gutted?

[Inge_CAV]

Reading my mind, Eh? : )

[HairOfTheDog]

Hair! Are you stirring Sh!t or what?

LOL! Ooops... sorry, that was me ;~D

Really, I am curious to know if it was a bad idea for safety, or just bad fashion sense ;~D
