From the New! and Improved! Atkinsville Daily World Chronic Cull comes our enlightenment for the day.

“Betise”, pronounced Bee.tyse (or what is your pleasure).
Pay no attention or money to those other guys as they've never been in the the face paced and exiting news room here in Atkinsonville where words of all kinds fly around like...I guess like.... flies.

Anyhow, When Lamar was hosing down the garage after working at his part time dentist job, Mopar and Molars he calls it, Lamar's wife came in. Now Lamar had been sipping his high test Nehi Orange and his wife went BETISE on him and near BETISE him to sobrity.
What set her off was him staring at that eye of hers that wonders all over and he should’ve known to never look women in the eye anyway. Specially if they only got one and it won't hold still.

So Betise. Go beast on someone or beat on them.

I have to defend the Birks. I wear them and love them but I also shave so that differentiates me from the crunchy granolas. Birks are good for plantar fasciitis, since regular sandals don’t have enough support.

But you don’t see a cart full of corn in the parking lot of an auto parts store, etc.? The farmers here will drop off a cart and a person at various places around the county in the morning, then pick ‘em up at the end of the day.

There are three or 4 major “brands” (families) in the retail roadside business.

They had LP Field open all day Wednesday and Thursday with continuous videos running on the jumbotron all about Steve, so people could pay tribute and sign a book for his family or donate to his foundation. I thought I was in disbelief about his death but this was over the top.
