Rockaway, a midwestern boy used to the quiet wind-swept plains and amber waves of grain, is from the land of "ahs" (Kansas), just recently by way of the "OK" state, Oklahoma, where tornados and bombings made life very exciting for one normally accustomed to the gentle, bucolic sounds of farm and fodder.

Ike and I are talking about it. It just depends on the economy and if we can find jobs, etc, etc. His family is out west, but he has bonded with my family and they love him (well they didn't so much this summer) so it would be nice to have family around. Plus, we both love the mountains and camping out with no one around and we just can't do that anywhere around here. We used to go find a place in the mountains, clear it some, pitch a tent, make a fire, and chill out. It was so relaxing. You are in middle TN, aren't you? We are from the K-town area.
Finally! Some AMERICANS!! I was starting to think this place had been taken over by a FOREIGN DEVIL INVASION! crazy Thank goodness those demons are asleep during the day because they dont have the good sense to go to bed at a decent hour. They are sleeping away the day, as usual... :RollieEyes:

TN is beautiful...I love it. Of course, when I was younger, it wasn't cool to be "country". LOL. Now I could care less because I love southern hospitality, southern food, and southern people.

I've lived in several places. I grew up some in Michigan and it's amazing the differences between the Northerners and the Southerners. Seriously.

LOL Mel! We Americans get to stick together...at least during the day!! smile

I'm from the state where we prosecute our governors...
Where we have the best government money can buy...
Where 5 year old children understand the term quid pro quo...
Where our new president learned politics from the best...

Where railways, highways, airways and waterways converge...
Where it gets as cold as Alaska in January and as hot as South Texas in August...

The land of road construction where the state bird is the construction crane, the state flower is the orange traffic cone, the state tree is the stoplight standard and the state mineral is asphalt...
And the state motto is:

Be prepared...

To stop.

In case you (or others) didn't know, that's an old Zappa song...

It's on the LP Overnight Sensation from 1973. Tina Turner and the Ikettes sang background vocals for the track.

Quote
I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would

Keep the wax
'N melt it down
Pluck some Floss
'N swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon . . .

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
'N give my foot a push . . .
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the Dennil Floss Bush

'N then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

I've read about pasty's in my historical novels, but I've never seen or eaten one. Now pastRy is a different story. smile
Posted By: lildoggie Re: Roll Call: What state are people from? - 01/24/09 04:08 AM
ah, I see.

In NZ a pasty (pronouced Paste tee) is a circle of pastry, with stk mine in the middle, folded in half and baked. Not as nice as a pie, but I have never figured out why. Also seems dryer.

"Another Yooper", lol, Mel beat me to it.

All Yoopers should read a book called "Voyageurs". It's a wonderful, fantastic novel (but based on historical fact) about Macinac Island and Canada's fight to be independent.

AJ here,

Checking in with one foot in Northern Cal. and the other in Montana.

Cinders, Montana is a lot like Tenn. But right now it's like Antarctica.

My brother called us last night and said that our new house in MT has about 6-7 feet of snow all around the yard, which he's been trying to plow or get out of the way. He says it's been so cold, he hasn't been able to do anything.

I told him it's been so hot here, I had to put on my shorts. rotflmao

Cinders, my second-favorite place to move would be Dyersburg. You know where THAT is. grin
AJ, hmmmm, it's down the road a-ways. I could find it on a map. think

D'OH! You're right...I'm sorry! I'd better get back to my roots. Do you think Da YooP will ever forgive? Eesh.

I've never seen it written pasty. I guess cuz you never just order ONE!?!? Hmm, back pedalin' here.

Funny, there's a car parked out front right now that has a bumper sticker: "Get back to da YooP ya der, eh?" It's never far, never far...

Yup, AJ, it's freezing cold here again. With the windchill it's supposed to be 27 below later today.
