The '52s got a new body style. The treatment of the rear fender is different than the '49. The Buick is either a '52 or '53, probably a '53. <br /><br />«Louis» hadn't thought about Foster Brooks in years!

What a comedian he was. I've lived with a few drunks in the CG and they would talk just that way. As for PC - I get so sick and tired of the dumb things people pick on and want to sue others over that it makes me want to puke. Oh boy - that's probably not a PC word, that "puke". Haha. I do know it's easy to choose the wrong word to express one's sentiments and don't think we should deliberately seek to put others "down" (so to speak) but nick-names are just nick-names. Reminded me of the preacher who was casting out devils and trying to be PC, he said, "You devil...come out now...if you will...please, sir!"Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-19189825164970469302012-03-05T20:20:09.497-05:002012-03-05T20:20:09.497-05:00I'm not saying what my daddy called our neighb...I'm not saying what my daddy called our neighbor but lets just say she was well endowed plus loud mouthed.

When I was a kid I had a friend we called "Stick" (as in stick-in-the-mud), and there was a man in the neighborhood called "Tink" then "Uncle Tink", his brothers and sisters nicknamed him when he was a baby in diapers (as in smelly)! Don was known as "Spike" and "Spider" cause he was a skinny little thing and his Dad was "Shorty"...'cause he was short! Shoot I didn't need a nickname at school kids made up all kinds of silly rhymes to harass me about the name "Theanne"! Where I grew up I don't think a lot of time was spent on being politically correct!<br /><br />Interesting post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-56278243140710811842012-03-05T16:51:45.602-05:002012-03-05T16:51:45.602-05:00Things have really changed over the years for sure...Things have really changed over the years for sure. I'm really not sure what is correct or not anymore. I've had some changes to face that I didn't like at all. I still think you can't go wrong with the basics...like please and thank you. It's been a cold snowy day here in Ohio. Be glad you have that nice warm weather to enjoy there.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
