Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

Irene Ryan was Granny aka Daisy Moses, Max Baer was Jethro Bodine, Donna Douglas was Ellie Mae Clampett, and Buddy Ebsen was her father Jedidiah Clampett, Jed for short. How's that for anal retentive?

You forgot ms.jane and mr.drysdale.

Didn't forget them, but I forget who played them. There's also Pearl Bodine, Jethro's mother, his twin sister Jethrine, and Miz Drysdale, And. Her son Sonny. Of course, Jethrine was played by Max Baer as well.

Quote from the site:


"About the Show

Follow the Sheriff Deputies of Sullivan County, TN and Ashe County, NC as they work to keep the peace in the Blue Grass Mountains. Get an unprecedented look into crime in Appalachia, where guns, drugs and alcohol challenge lawmen 24/7."

I'm confused as to why Sullivan County was chosen. That county houses the tri-cities and isn't a location i would send a reality tv crew to catch backwood hillbilly criminals. That they are shadowing sheriff deputies is also a poor choice imo. Sheriff departments throughout the state have a widely known reputation for staggering incompetence and corruption. I'm sure some counties have a crack team of professional deputies, but most do not. The only law enforcement group in the state that has a good rep is the TBI. Btw, for those of you unfamilar with Tn law enforcement, the TBI routinely arrests, and busts local law enforcement officers for running meth rings. They literally have yearly roundups of corrupt cops and deputies. In 2000 or 2001, they arrested 1/3 of the cookeville police department. My own county rarely goes a year without a cop getting handcuffed.

The issues of meth and perscription painkiller abuse are accurate though.

Evidence of a wasted youth.

I'll assume that you're a TN resident; you sound too knowledgeable to be anything else.

Just goes to show what they teach in geography now days.

I was teaching a travel agent class for "adults" at one time, and was describing various types of itineraries; one-way, round trip, circle trip, and open jaw. An open jaw is one where you fly out of city 1, going to city 2, and return to city 3 (e.g., ATL, LAX. JFK). I asked the students to give me examples of open jaws without a map - just using generalizations on the board like a major city in the east to one in the west, and so on. I got nothing in return except .... well ... open jaws <d'oh>. One young lady finally said, "But, what if you don't know where the major cities are?"

I suggested she try another career.

When I was the supervisor of a group of corporate travel managers, one of my travel "experts" asked me if London was a country.

What they teach in geography these days, indeed!

That's public school for ya!
I swear it mostly teaches people to think learning is boring or for nerds, something like that any way. Thus as adults people have little drive to continue to learn ( most people )
Oh well, makes for good stories in this thread.

Not a whole lot. Hell, its getting hard anymore to give directions any more just by using the cardinal directions, North, South, East, West. People can only get there if they put it into their GPS and hope that its up to date.

Recalculating!

Yep, cram the kids all together in tight rooms, have these strict testing that they have to pass, take away the ability to really effectively punish kids with something that carries a lot of weight, that phone call home to their parental units just doesn't carry as much weight when the parents immediately take the kids side, and lets not discount the effects of letting jocks get away with everything short of murder in schools because if they don't play the football team will really suck instead of having a shot at least being .500.

Amen!
Can I get a "homeschool"!
well it's not an option for everyone, but its my option of choice. Maybe my boys will know where the world capitals are.... And they will most definitely know where eggs and meat come from.
Ever been in an argument about what meat is? I have.
"No! it's not cow muscle"
" Ah, then what is it"
" .... Well it's not muscles"

Or how about.
" I'm a vegan " crams marshmallow into mouth
" that's all well and good but you know there's gelatine in those"
" what's gelatine?"
Lol, like vegatariens that eat fish. How is fish a vegetable?
Sorry rambling...
