I did it


Lily and I took a walk down to see the Gulf. I somehow stubbed my toe and pulled off the nail about half way, ouch. We came across a man who was fishing. He spoke in the exact accent that the guy on King of the Hill, who you cannot understand, uses. It cracked me up. I had no idea what he said. Instead of saying, what? I asked him if he had seen seen the alligator. He said he hadn't seen her today, but that he say her earlier in the week. Then he started going off in that accent I cannot understand. I just kept walking. I wonder what he said? He wasn't cute like the guy on King of the Hill, he was old and had a dirty shirt, with his big belly sticking out. I think he was the first back water good ole boy I have met since moving to Mississippi, he seemed nice.

lol He could have been cussing you out and you wouldn't have known it. I had an uncle who spoke Cockney and he drove me crazy speaking that way and never teaching it to me no matter how much I begged and begged him. When he died, I was really angry at him. I was about 12 though, so I had the matureness of a walnut. I must admit that it still irritates me though that he never taught it to me -- not even a single word.

Ouch! That actually made my toe twinge when I read it. I get squeamish with toe and fingernail injuries. Congratulations on your accomplishment. And all of your posts were interesting and I really enjoyed visiting every day.

The alligator comment really cracked me up. I told my husband about it and he cracked up too. Funny! Yeah, the toenail thing makes me cringe too. Hope it grows back soon!

Ouch. So sorry. Stopped at a gas station in Kentucky on a car trip once and was certain the attendant was speaking a foreign language. So, I understand.
