worriedman Campfire Regular Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 2,415 Likes: 5 West TN	Originally Posted by jackmountain Kids got their asses whipped. Everything started going down hill when parents quit whipping kids bare asses. My mom was an all-star MVP ass whipper. I appreciate every one of them now. I was 12, we were wrecking forms at the Presbyterian Church downtown in our little spot in West TN, I failed to pull a 16 and just tossed the stake in the pile. Pop backed up and caught it right through his right instep. I can still see him reach over and put his left foot on it and pull that right foot off. I drove him to the local ER and Dr. Jim wrapped a piece of gauze around a probe soaked in mercurochrome and rant it trough the hole. Gave him a tetanus shot and I drove him back to the Church. When he got done all he had left of that stake was what he had in his hand. I never to this day, pulled another stake and failed to get the nails out, and did not blame him for the beating. I got several in my youth, but never for the same thing twice. At 16 I had a '66 Chevelle I paid for with cash from the concrete business, bought my own gas and tires, paid for my insurance. Kept my Browning 12 gauge in my car for duck hunting before school, ran my traps in the afternoon after football. It was a great life, kids today have no idea.

They actually had acceleration and brake problems. Lots of problems , I couldn't imagine the thing and truly hilly and mountainous areas it had problems going when it was right. And it was very seldom right. Now remember the old joke the new yugo station wagon wego. They would have to do something different for a power plant to pull a full station wagon of people that's for sure

God kept vengeance for Himself but expected us to administer justice in our communities. We have abdicated that role to men lesser than ourselves, and gotten the current situation as a reward for our apathy and self-centeredness.

Well...I was probably drunk and said...instead of Eskimo....that I was [bleep] Tribe. I was certain she knew I was joking. I was wrong. Hopefully someone gets a kick out of that in 70 years when the records are unsealed. I am MAGA.
