Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Hey, Deej, I'll bet one of your fave songs is that one C&W one that goes, "I like my women a little on the trashy side"!

Mine is "I like 'em big and stupid!"
(real song, I'm not kidding.)

Emm and Nanos posts have got me thinking about some of the Country music titles I have heard over the years.
Among the ones that spring to mind are,

"I'm just a bug on the windscreen of life."

"Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of Life."

"I'm gonna get a Wino to decorate our Home"

Over to you Folks :lol:

Wow. Nine pages in this thread already, with highlights includng Nano's use of the word "trammel", and the low points comprising side-trips into all manner of gaseous emissions. Who woulda thunk it. :wink:

I Flushed You From The Toilets Of My Heart
You're The Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly
I Still Miss You, Baby, But My Aim's Gettin' Better

And in the same vein...this isn't a song, I don't think, but it should be: "Don't bend over in the garden, Granny, you know those taters got eyes! "

"Toilet paper?" Qu'est-ce que ce que ceci? Is it some kind of a girlie thing? Oh, I get it! It's something to read when you're having a sit! But why should it come in a roll...?

Hey, D., I've got no problem with 'ain't'... as someone who deliberately uses "y'all" I can't very well put on airs, now can I? ... T'was just a comment on the thread content. :P
