Those are funny, what is cow tipping?

Yep Guess this makes me a true Georgian! Or should that be Gawgian? LOL

GO Cow Tipping:
v 1. to push cows over while they are sleeping. This is seen as an amusing activity by some. ("We went cow tipping last night.") It's kind of like Snipe hunting, but not as fun.. You gotta be there..I never cared for tipping cows, although it doesn't hurt them..Every one deserves a good nights sleep..LOL

Conversation between Huntahs up heah: M R Ducks, M R Not, O S A R; C M Wangs. L I B, M R Ducks - Frank.

Frankay, you forgot to preface it with "What R M? And I am a good old southern gal......well, OLD anyhow. LOL Jo

Well, Hello! (being po-lite here!) I understood everything on that list! Seems perfectly normal to me! Yep.
Does that mean they might let me back in Georgia again? (Only place in this Country I ever got arrested was in a place called Tifton, Georgia...I think they are still talking about that story down that-a-way.)

Would really like you to share that one with us Shoeman!!

I double that request Shoe!! We Georgian's wanna know!
Do tell!!!

You would never believe it. Er, well, maybe ya'll Georgians would....

Try us! You opened this can a worms...now spill the story Shoe!

Ain't we glad we live here.

20 or 30 years ago us yankees got a warning about Ludoweekee GA. (SP?) as the worst place for speed traps. Still true? Frank.

It was true - but I think they had to stop that, they stopped the wrong person one day - a politician as I recall. I used to live not far from there just over the Fl line at Hilliard. At the same time the little village of Bolonge, Fl was known for the same thing. It seems they had bought a string of expensive highway lights that they had to pay for and an outrageous light bill. They dropped their city charter so the State could take over the bills! Giving tickets was the main source of income. It looked like you were coming into Disney World when you crossed the Fl State line, and Disney World wasn't even thought of then in the 60's.

Lol,
reading this I felt back to Ga.

That is so funny and so true!
Frankay, the place is called Ludowici. Coming in to town on 84 in one direction they drop you down from 55 to 35 in about 200 yards. From the other direction it's 65 to 35 in about 500 yards. It's hard to be at the right speed that fast.

Then I'm not really getting senile! Frank.

Well maybe i am. went to chat room. very fast. backed out and chat room is now a gray screen only.Sometimes I'm in "Conservative" chat room. Any of you? Frank

I stuck my head in the door looking for Datdog,that chatroom was flying by so fast I thought I was going Senile,LOL,It's gray to me too.

I liked the one about "summer" -- put me in mind of what people in Arizona used to say: best part about summer is that all the snowbirds have flown away.

Then about the Northeast (I have heard this about several different states, but usually about Maine): There are two seasons: winter and the Fourth of July ;D
