I remember back in the '60's when I was in the Navy in
a chow line for breakfast.The guy in front of me was from Mass. We had grits in the line. He asked"what is that,
cream of wheat?" A good old boy behind said,"hell,no,that's Ga. ice cream!!" Scott in Va.

LOL!
When I was a little tyke, I pulled a six foot sack.
After I became a teenager I guess it was a fourteen footer.
It was the biggest one they made.
When we weighed up the bolls were part of the load.
They didn't like a lot of leaves, and they would always watch as you dumped in the trailer to make sure you didn't have rocks in your sack.

Only a true southerner would have this license plate:
Is that Louseeanna tag?

"Spraying it with a little Pam don't hurt." The best way I've found to cure a cast iron skillet is with a good coating of hog lard and cooking for about thirty minutes in a hot oven.

A couple more I haven't seen yet:
. . . You'd think her poppa hung the moon
. . . the bee's knees
. . . lower than a snake's belly in a dried up gulch

A true southerner names his male children "Bo" or "Beau" and the female children "Dixie". It is common knowledge that Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart are cousins. I recently learned that all three have the same middle name.
My priest's daddy, Malcolm Lee, named his sons David Lee and Michael Lee. David Lee was expected to follow the tradition, but has been a disappointment to Malcolm Lee.
My daddy was Robert Lee.

"Is that Louseeanna tag?" Yep. I took that a couple of weeks ago waiting in line at a What-a-Burger down there. I just happened to have my camera handy and couldn't pass that up.

Them's clods boy, not rocks. Anything that would stain the fibers was a no no cause you got docked for it,
My first sack was a "gunny sack" that mama sewed a strap on. That was 1939 and I was six. I have a photo in my album...

The deepest well I was ever on went to 30,100' in the Anadarko Basin.
The deepest well I ever finished went to 24,850' in the Permian Basin.
The rig on my home page is H&P drilling just outside of Rivera, Texas. We went to 18,200' on that one.

Sounds like a westerner.

"I see that "pop" (as opposed to soda) is a common term there too (as it is in Chicago)." There where? It's coke here.

"Them's clods boy, not rocks." No, in some parts it was rocks.
When my dad landed the job of foreman on the cotton farm in Bakersfield, he had to hire wet backs to go in front of the mechanical cotton picker to gather up the rocks so it wouldn't tear up the spindles.
You weren't too far ahead of me.
I was born in 1939.

You beat me the deepest I ever went was 23,500.
I worked for H&P in the 70's. My first drilling job was with them.
I was a tool Pusher for Delta Drilling (Tyler Tx) in 1986 and 3 months later drawing unemployment.
Got out and never went back.
