Busy as a three legged cat in a sandbox...

Oh, I hadn't heard that one in awhile!

I'll be a Monkey's Uncle....: If my nephew did to someone like that Monkey back east did..I'd personally take him out...Or I'd let Prunepicker claim him. That was horrible.....I feel for that lady and my prayers go out for her to the greatest extent....

She sounds like she has an absolutely incredibly positive attitude.

Don't know if anyone saw the interview but, that lady is in horrible shape but, she had a dead positive attitude.....She said: " I'm the same person I just look different.".... The lady that owned the monkey...I feel sorry for her...That Chimp was a problem animal that had NOT been neutered and was very aggressive. Me personally I don't want to get too close to a wild animal. We had an Orangutan for a promotion with TG&Y he was "Crazy".....

I once kept monkeys during the late 60's until the mid-70's. Squirrel Monkeys and Capucin.
These animals have to be dealt with in a method that few people know. Such as you don't put your hands in their armpits to lift them up. They will go nuts. That's why you see a handler take them by the hands and lift them up. If you don't pay attention and "work" with them regularly they will start to revert to their wild demeanor and habits. Many return to that behavior more than once. Maybe a couple of months or a couple of years but it will happen.
Every once in awhile one would get out and roam the neighborhood. They never went far and the only thing you had to worry about was it might get hit by a car or some kid messes with them.
Augustus got out once and I saw him heading home using the sidewalk. As he went from the curb to the street, the cat that had been stalking him attacked. I thought I might lose him because in a flash he rolled the cat and jumped on his back. That cat was running, rolling, bucking, anything to get away. He finally did and Augustus came home. Have never seen anything that funny since.

"Shoot low Sheriff......He's riding a Shetland"....Never could figure that one out.....Anyone else????

I think it is a reference to mental horsepower.

Slow as molasses in January.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

Eggs? We always said tea in China.

I think the idea was the irony when someone interjected a statement that
was totally off the wall. Much like the political threads LOL!

How about, "I wouldn't do that for all the tea in China!"

Hey! I'm older! LOL!

Here's one that came up during Thanksgiving dinner.

Honest Injun! It means I'm telling the truth.

How about this:....Just you wait until your Daddy gets home....And then she'd beat the heck out of you.....I didn't know if I wanted Daddy to come home if it was going to be worse than that.....He'd just give you that "Look".....

Not really a saying, but everyone my step dads age (81) and older, walked a a mile to school and in a foot of snow.

He did have a few other stories/tales that he would say, but that's for the OKCTALK-R-RATED THREAD

The "look" was all it took for me after one good whoopin from Dad. I have been told by my grown daughters that I've always had the "look", but I don't see it. It truly struck fear in me down to my socks.

================================================== ==========
I'd have rather had the "whipping" than to get "The Look". The scariest
"sound" was when the look hadn't worked and he "Jerked" his belt through ALL of the loops in his pants....that's when you began to pray....because you were certain you were fixing to die.....Every now and then though the "Look" and the "Sound" was all it took and then he'd say "What do you think"?....Man, I'm sorry for everything that has ever happened to anyone dad.....Tha's about all it would take.....Sure do miss him.......think I'd take the "whipping" just to see him again....

No doubt about it. Me too - my Dad was my HERO!

He's barrelin' ol' Ned!

What does THAT mean?

Hey Prunepicker just woke up.....

What does THAT mean?
He's going very fast or is working real hard at something.

Hey Prunepicker just woke up...
Yeah, I didn't want to waste the whole day in bed.

My mother always had a simple saying, she'd rest her chin in her hand and say "well...Hmmm"....Does anyone know what that meant.....I didn't know if she was mad or happy when she did that....Just stay away....be safe......

My Mom's two favorites:

Well I'll swan.

Well just rain on you.

One of my grandfathers favorites was "well spit fire and save the matches".

Was he saying "spit"?

I have always heard a different word close to spit.......

Yee-Haw:...................just found out that Yee and Haw were commands given to a team of working Mules......Yee means go Left and Haw is go right. So, I guess if you yelled "Yee-Haw" together they would go forward?????or lay down????

How about take a nap? LOL!

That's very interesting!

Well, fuzzy pickles!

How about the "corny" sayings:

Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!!

"That's mighty white of you."
It goes back a looong way.

No! It isn't racist nor does it have anything to do with racism.

I'll back you on that!

Neat-O!

Fingers before forks...........

To get mules to turn left or right, I had always heard "Gee" and "Haw".

Whatever floats your boat.

Don't take any wooden nickles!

Wash your ears. You could grow potatoes in there. (Or was it behind the ears? I didn't hear real well)

Heard a new one:

That really jars my apple-butter!

He inherited that money and just hooped it off.

I'll be D@#$&d:....that 20 bags of Groceries cost $20.00......Haven't heard that one in a while....and, I can't believe Gas is .30 cents a gallon for that cheap regular Stuff......

You ain't got the sense God gave a fence post

You do that again and I'll whale the tar out of you

"Be careful who you ride with".......What?????Today it would be "Hey, watch out for strangers....DON'T get in a car with someone you don't know and DO NOT attempt to "Hitch" a ride.....I don't know how many times we would "Hitch" a ride to the Chieftain Theater.......Never knew any of the people we rode with...

Hitching a ride to Tulsa was a normal thing to do. We'd stand at the turnpike
gate, that's where the trolls would sit, and wait... and wait... and wait...
Maybe a shave and a haircut would have helped.

Come to think of it, the hippies normally took Route 66. So why would we
wait at the gate?

My best friend and his bride hitched for Ok to and around Colorado.

When we were kids we would often hitch to get around.

I once hitched from just north of Philly to Albany Ga.. Was one hell of an adventure.

Bet it was. I thought about doing something like that once but got a hitch in my gitalong and couldn't.

This "Off Subject (Topic)"....But, as a little kid i always wanted to "Hop a Freight"......Big Sissy though.....I didn't know how to read a map and I was afraid I'd not get home for Supper....

When Grandpa couldn't keep up with the grandkids it was because he had a hitch in his gitalong and couldn't move as fast as he use ta could.

We used to watch the Hobo's on the trains. Some would be lying on the
springs under the car! That was so cool.

My parents were a generation older than most other kids my age. For reference, my grandparents (no greats..) were born in the 1870s and 80s, and my dad (b. 1902), grew up with two former Confederate soldiers living with them. (I'm 48, for actuarial purposes).

Some that I remember (and scratch my head over)...

"since who flung the chunk", apparently implying a long period of time

"sky west and a-windin' " some sort of directional comment with a high velocity component, perhaps?

"I got my tongue wrapped around my eye teeth and couldn't see what I was sayin' "

I have to say, however, that the hands down winner that left me stunned to silence was when my late mother, then in her early 70s, on a trip to the grocery store, said, upon watching a woman in an exceedingly short skirt and uh...'exotically sparse' undergarments bend over to pick something up:

"Here it is Christmas already and me with no pies baked."

Didn't know your Mom but, she had style.....Welcome to the Board my friend...you are still just a mere child to a lot of us....Generals64...

My grandfather always wore a cowboy hat and one day we went into the country store and a man my grandfather knew said "well looky there a cowboy with no cows". My grandfather's reply was "well looky there a horses ass with no horses".
