  1. Highly recommend the book “Andy & Don” if you’re a fan of the show - was written by Don’s brother in law, Daniel de Visé. Tells the story of both of their early lives/childhoods and their real life friendship. Not a smear job by any means but does uncover the real people behind their characters/public personas. Very entertaining and a quick read.
  2. Andy said pretty much the same - saw it an article years ago. He said the first few years were gold/magic, and then after Don left it was just another show. One of my all time favorite shows (again, the first years) - Andy and Don were amazing together but they also did a great job with all the side characters (Otis, Gomer, Floyd, etc.) of creating the little world of Mayberry.
  3. She never mentions the word addiction In certain company Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan After you meet her family Mary took to running with a travelin' man Left her momma crying with her head in her hands Such a sad case, so broken hearted She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen Could be holding you tonight Could quit doing wrong or start doing right You don't care about what I think I think I'll just stay here and drink
  4. I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words Could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels Between Hank Williams' pain songs And Jerry Jeff's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain't nobody feelin' no pain So never leave me lonely Tell me you love me only And that you'll always let it be me ‘Til Gabriel blows his horn
  5. Only way to measure historical greats in sports is how they fared vs. the peers in their era. Babe Ruth hit more home runs in 1920 than any other team in the American League. Any. Other. Team. No one today is even sniffing the farts of that kind of dominance. Put that stat in your pipe and smoke it, whippersnappers.
  6. In the twilight glow I see them Blue eyes cryin' in the rain Coffee black, cigarettes, start this day, like all the rest These arms of mine, they are lonely Lonely and feeling blue Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly If you’ve got the money, honey I’ve got the time Hey pretty baby are you ready for me It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah On a warm summer's eve On a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler We were both too tired to sleep
  7. What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same and nothing that you did mattered? That about sums it up for me.
  8. Jim Croce - limited in volume but had some great ones.
  9. (Dabo Swinney voice) Be sure to drink your Ostarine. (Dabo Swinney voice)
  10. I see Dinish Patel has risen to the ranks of chief aggy hotel manager and is embracing his lifetime appointment.
  11. I wonder was it all of them or just the one ?
  12. Oh, it's "Risk." It's a game of world domination being played by two guys who can barely run their own lives.
  13. I always figured New Year’s Eve was created specifically to land a week after Christmas for folks to blow off steam/get loaded after spending the holidays with their families (see thread in this forum for Exhibit A).
  14. You know, this wine’s not bad...but it’s not good either...
  15. League rosters will be stacked with hungry players, for sure.
  16. Oh look, there's Gregory Peck's bicycle! And Barbara Mandrell's skateboard!"
  17. I will smash your face into a car windshield then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.
  18. Certifiable bad ass on the strings - RIP.
  19. Train don’t run outta Wichita - unless’n you’re a hog or a cattle. People train runs outta Stubbville.
  20. When these topics come up I think of the old Tex Schramm (original Dallas Cowboy GM back in the day for you whippersnappers, UT class of 1947) prediction decades ago that with TV driving everything, eventually the games would just be played in a giant TV studio. Probably won’t get there in my lifetime, but with the fan experience and attendance continuing to decline (not to mention the cost escalating) and the at home viewing experience as good as it is, may not be far off.
