I figured that y'all were entitled to a fair warning.

MMR once criticized me for using the term y'all.
I may not always agree with you but I don't think I think you're a maniac. I do think you're an intelligent person.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

Thanks for the warning. Galloping in a canter zone?

It is a real word. It is a contraction of "you all." You old boys should know that.

Uh-oh, sounds like you had an accident. Hope you and your loved ones horse(s) included esaped harm's way.

The van driver sounds crazy!
What would he be doing driving a van round a field where horses live and play?
What do we want?
A cure for tourettes! When do we want it? C*nt! |

Let me guess. The driver of the van honked at the pretty horse. The horse spooked (but was kept under control by an expert horseman) and the driver of the van freaked out and called the rider a maniac.
Am I close?

On 2013-08-05 09:14, Magnus Eisengrim wrote: It was far more prosaic than that: Khaleel and I were on the last leg of our run, on a trail alongside a street. As we approached an intersection a gentleman (a euphemism, it turns out) pulls up in a white van on the cross street, slows a bit at the stop sign, then makes a left turn in front of us. As politely as can be, I asked, "Next time, why don't you stop, moron?" (In retrospect, I should have said, "idiot" instead of "moron"; Lobo can give interested readers the technical details on the differences in the terms.) So . . . we continue walking across the intersection (I don't let Khaleel run on the pavement) behind the van, and continue on our way. The driver stops mid-turn, backs up hastily, makes a right turn to pull along side us, and starts yelling that he did stop at the stop sign (along with various embellishments). I tried to point out that even if he had stopped at the sign (which he didn't do; he merely slowed a bit), he still violated the law, because he is required to stop behind the white line about ten feet before the sign. At this point he said, "You should see a psychiatrist, you maniac!" I was about to point out to him that, even if I were a maniac, there is medicine available to me to overcome mania; there is no medicine available to him to overcome stupidity. Alas, he drove off too soon. The gentleman (not a euphemism, this time) who was working on his lawn at the house on the corner just looked at the driver and shook his head in disbelief. As I mentioned in another thread, I am heartily sick of drivers who don't stop at stop signs or red lights. I've nearly been hit more than once, my horse has nearly been hit, and my dog has nearly been hit. I don't take this lightly. Oh, and for the record, Magnus: Khaleel's handsome, not pretty. |
