“ Do: A dear, a female dear.
Although a “female dear” can apply to any female loved one, in the context of the song, it most likely refers to a gangster’s moll.”

Sometimes a doe is simply just a deer.

If you’ve never seen “The Sound of Music,” you are fortunate. Avoid this dark, dreary and depressing film.

LOL - you didn’t grow up in the world when that song was written. It was a better time.

Jam? Golden Sunshine? Put down the bong, and go to bed.

Instead, why not drop some acid, and rewatch “Reefer Madness”?

Still trying to unpack all of the idiocy in that post....Sol? How about “so,” a homophone of “sew”? You know...as in “a needle pulling thread.”

A “thread” is probably the same thing as a “line,” one cubic ounce

A cubic ounce? What the actual hell is a cubic ounce?

Did you get this stuff from 4Chan? They like to make people look stupid.

That sounds like complete nonsense.

Haha! Great post.

Judging by the responses, I’m amazed how many FReepers can’t detect clever sarcasm.

I’m probably one of the last people on earth who has never seen TSoM. Not because I didn’t want to see it. Just never did.

I didn’t see Gone with the Wind until about 10 years ago and that is my sister’s favorite movie.

Or there’s the Homer Simpson version.

Dough, the stuff that buys me beer
Ray, the guy that sells me beer
Me, the guy who drinks the beer
Far, a long way to get beer.
So, I think I’ll have a beer
La, la la la la la beer!
Tea, no thanks I’ll have a beer
And that brings us back to D’OH!

When I first saw "Gone with the Wind" as a teenager, I didn't like it because it seemed to be, essentially, a soap opera--a rancher's daughter heads out into the world to find a mate but returns to the ranch after several failed marriages. But when I saw it again nearly two decades later, I had a much greater appreciation.

Several of the von Trapp children eventually moved to Montana where they had a ranch for years...

It was purchased by Ted Turner and assimilated into his ranch in the Gallatin Valley of Montana.

Could the school (er, I meant INDOCTRINATION CENTER) district show me the proof that there are 9 genders and 30 sexuality identities?

Another Reason to Homeschool!!

One of my favorites. My girls and I watch it every Christmas. We know every single word to every single song. It is dark given what the Nazis were doing, but it’s history.

It’s four ranches combined into one ranch with more than 110,000 acres. Ted buffalo.

I can see the ranch entrance from my house.
