...You're just as likely from Tucson, Arizona. If we ever had "Nucl'r Combat toe t' toe with the Russkies," it would have been one of the first five cities turned to glass, seeing as it had the ICBMs, Hughes (now Raytheon) Missiles, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the Air Force's Airplane Graveyard, and it has a sizeable population.
I miss Tucson. It has the best weather in the country and the best Mexican food. More importantly, we had absolutely nothing to do with the conflict between Northerners and Southerners. Did you know there was one Civil War battle in Arizona? It was fought at Picacho Peak, and three soldiers died. That's about as much Civil War as I can take.
No, no, no....You can have the RINO dud but he was born in Omaha in 1913.
I just like things in proper order. (Like AZ and NE)
I was just being "on'ry.
You either stayed in Rapid City, Keystone, Hill City, Custer or Hot Springs, whatever, hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful state.....
Mr. Jones,
Perhaps you'd share with us your opinion of what makes an American? Evidently, families who have been here for 75 - 120 years don't qualify according to your estimation. Pre-Civil War? Pre-Revolution? Membership in SAR or DAR? What you wrote sounds like you've set up some sort of "American" club in your own mind and established yourself as the membership committee. Maybe its just me, but that just sounds...um...bigotted.
The "Yankees" that you and other southron folk take such glee in dismissing, neither hold the south in contempt nor consider that it not be part of America. Too hot to live in, perhaps, but worth hanging onto just for the barbecue.
Oh, and don't put Walter Cronkite's words in our mouths...and we won't put Ted Turner's in yours.
I've got this album.
hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful state.....
I know I always do (except for that D'Ashole thing).
I've been in everyone of those towns. I like the free campground in Hot Springs and the buffet in Custer.
The Needles, Sullivan Lake, the Buffali and Wind Cave...all spectacular. Crazy Horse monument is no slouch either.
You may not have thought of this, but you could be considered from "the South".....SOUTH Dakota.
Now everyone's going to kick my a$$.
Now THAT'S funny!
Thank you for your kind words FRiend, nah you won't get your ass kicked here, I've admitted some things here and nobody has kicked mine yet, lol.
So glad you enjoyed South Dakota, this is the time of year I like to go up to Mt. Rushmore, no crowds, usually by yourself there, and can just sit, stare, and reflect.....
ROTFLMAO, I could be considered from the south, SOUTH dakota!!!!!!!:)
I just found Bro. BoB's web site it is
And be sure to see http://www.thechaplain.com/tenmostwanted.htm
