My Grandma on my pappy's side


Now that's funny you call your Dad pappy. We called our Grandpa on my Dad's side "pappy". He spent 30 years helping to build the Panama Canal, and then they retired to Texas. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Brownsville.

Did your pappy get his spankings out back in the wood shed, too? They had sour mash wiskey out there because Grandma didn't allow liquor in the house. The story is that he never actually switched the boys, just made a bunch of noise like he did to keep Grandma happy. (she was kind of a mean thing who really thought switchings were necessary)

All Points Bulletin:

The State of Texas has issued an APB on one MelodyLane, female.

Subject was last seen hot-footing it, loaded down with an arsenal of weapons, on I-10 West toward Los Angeles to commit mayhem upon a hapless Australian tourist by the name of BigKahuna.

Warning: Subject is known to work out, so subject is reportedly physically fit. She is also armed and dangerous.

Anyone spotting the subject is advised to keep their distance and steer her toward the nearest massive speed...

UPDATE TO APB:

New information indicates that subject, known as MelodyLane, may be intending to commit serial mayhem in California.

Subject reportedly has paranoia about being referred to as a "damn Yankee". Any such reference is reputed to trigger violent behavior in subject.

Avoid calling this damnYankee a damnYankee in any confrontation.

Hi Weaver,

I was just pulling your leg with that (Tammy style) talking.

Everything that I said was true, minus, the name "Pappy". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Both sets of grandparents were called Grandma and Grandpa.

There was no moonshine in our background, from what I hear, but I did hear that one of my great-great grandfather wore one of them white sheets and rode around in the dark <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />.

(Shaking head) I just found that little piece of jewel out from my 80 year old aunt, who found it out late in life while going through an old chest owned by a great-great cousin that contained the white robe. Geeze <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

The irony is that paticular grandparent was jewish.......

Talk about weird.....

Unfortunately, as many have found out, you can't pick your relatives.

I apoligize in advance to any person that might take offense at this fact, and I do not reflect this relative's point of view.


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

That's cuz y'all like to hear us talk!


That is very true TR, they even wrote song lyrics about that

"and the Southern girls with the way they talk
thery knock me out when I'm down there"

but that is immediately followed by something about the way the Northern girls kiss that keeps their boyfriends warm at night so chalk one up for the Yankee girls. !!!!!

Just saw this on another website:

GRITS = Girls Raised In The South <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> which ML ain't.....

NTL, I'm pretty sure that ML is a S.L.U.T.!!! Which, of course, stands for "Southern Lady Under Tremendous Stress"...Due, in part, to this thread no doubt! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
