Geobeet!?

“Do you know what I'd be talking about if I mentioned the Valley Pike? If so... I have story to tell you that you'll appreciate.
:-)”

“please do tell”

“Danababy is a Virgin?!?!?!”

“and geebus on a sidecar. Virginians tar and feather people who mess with their History. You ain't quite far enough away, boy, to feel safe. Sirpete, you bettah git him under control fore I hafta hurt him. I'm one mean Skule Girl. I'm in my jammies. My hubby is gone out of town. I feel mean! You picked the wrong time to fret me.”

“I think WD has some prior experience with frets.”

“I need to go to bed. I'm missing Big Daddy and I'm cross and pouty. I'll feel better after I get some sleep, and I'll feel really better when Wednesday evening rolls around.”

“I've got a leveling block and a fret file.

What's yer radius?”

“Ok This is for Geo and the resta you fellers best mind yo mannahs.
I feel better today. I'm rested so I'll tell you the story. The "Where are you backpacking this weekend?"thread is what got me to thinking on this. My answer to it since I have to work was "To Hell I reckon!" I work at UT Hospital. We take care of the stuff that makes the news and some that is hushed up. And it IS hell at times.
Anyhow here is where that leads.
My Poppy told this and he witnessed it. He was around still when I was a little gal of about 8.
Geo, you might appreciate this having lived and traveled in Virginia in the areas I'm from.
Route 11 through the Shenandoah Valley of Va. used to be just a wagon track. Today when you drive it you can look out to the west and see remnants of the old road where it meandered. You can also see segments of the proposed and partially constructed Civil War Railway. Old stone trestles that were never even used. In Staunton there was an Insane Asylum now known as Western State Mental Hospital. The old Asylum still stands but houses Staunton Correctional Facility.. a prison.
Poppy was just a youth when he and his Pap were taking grain and things to trade at another farmers place. They'd come down the mountain off what is now Hwy 56 and were in the area just south of Greenville. A wagon came down the Pike to pass them. On the back was a man bound hand and foot and chained to the wagon.. lying in the bed of it. He was hollering and shrieking and moaning like a demoniac. The farmer who lived along the Pike shouted to the drivers "Where are you taking that man?" Before the drivers could answer the man in back shouted "TO HELL I RECKON!" Indeed, he mightas well been going to Hell. They were a taking him to the Insane Asylum!
Poppy said they fell out laughing. No one would tell what the man had done that was so bad as to take him to the Asylum. Musta been pretty heinous.”

“Ahhh yes, the old Valley Pike. Stonewall used it as his personal highway. It was the only macadamized (gravel) road in the Valley. And yes, I've seen the old bridges and rights of way.

I used to enjoy going to the used book barn north of Harrisonburg. I used I-81, of course, but the Valley Pike is so nearby it's almost the same in sections.

I passed through Greenville on my way to St. Mary's this spring. The town looks exactly the same, except the names on oil company signs have changed. I almost said banks too, but I don't think there's a bank in Greenville.

That was a great story about the prisoner. Thanks for sharing.

At the end of Jackson's Valley Campaign, the troops were resting near Grottoes. Some of the troops went down into the caverns, but one guy refused to go. When asked why, he said, "Old Jack will get me into hell fast enough; I don't need to be going near there on my own!"”

“Stonewall was a man among men. Geo, glad you liked the silly story. I liked yours too. You're mighty special. I like your Loser and Cluck Journals. I want to go with ya sometime so's I kin be famous. LOL”

“Okay dana. Let's see: I am Loser; Creek Dancer is Cluck; that would make you Sack-a-weed-yeah!

CD and I will probably be getting together somewhere in our old stomping grounds this fall. You want us to give you a shout?”

“"Tom Fool?”

“The one and only.”

“While baking in her kitchen last year, Betty Bill walked toward her stove when the oven timer sounded.

What she experienced next, however, was anything but sweet.

Bill, of Crystal Lake, told a McHenry County judge Wednesday that from her kitchen window she watched her neighbor pour scalding water onto a squirrel trapped in a cage.

“He bent over and rested his left arm on his knee, and I saw him pour the kettle,” Bill said. “I observed the tail going wildly around the cage. I freaked out. I was holding myself saying, ‘Oh, my god.’ ”

Bill then contacted police.

“Aw shucks, that's nothin'.

Many years ago I was having a beer in the alley with the boys after a day of blasting around the streets of D.C. as a motorcycle messenger.

About 75 yards up the alley a guy had a large rat trapped under an overturned steel wire milk crate.

He seemed to be pouring something over the milk crate and then it was obvious what the liquid was as he tossed a match on it.

Man, you shoulda seen that squirrel-sized rat dance!!”

Why am I not surprised that MarkO would take pleasure in watching an animal being burned alive for 'entertainment'?”

“No pleasure in watching that, simply amazement.

I think it was out behind a restaurant.

Those of us who saw it were kinda jaw-dropped.

Why am I not surprised that an unrelenting azzhole like KevvieBoy would try to pin me with a charge like that?

And so quick on my ass!
You're an attentive little stalker.

“oh my gosh! That's my neighborhood!”

“People like that are only a small step away from doing it to someone's child.”

“I defer to your expertise.”

“What a great life a guy must live to spend his time waiting to pounce on people posting something on TT.”

“Hey Geo, that's quite a leap for TwistyBoy to make.

Speakin' of leaps, I reckon a flyin' leap would be in order.

We can only hope................”

“Figures that Tiltypoo and Geo would approve of MarkO's depravity.

“Ha ha ha !!!
Here's what Goober keeps referring back to.
It was my quip in response to his nasty assertion that "libbies would be celebrating" the deaths of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

From a thread titled, "Dear Mr. Rumsfield"


“Dang! You silly libbies already over your hangovers from celebrating 9/11?

“I never said it was fun, Kevin.

It was a remarkable and disturbing thing to watch....the burning rat, that is.

But you will twist anything I say.

You are a sick mofo, Kevin.

“MarkO, your first rebuttal might have had some bit of validity till you started the silly "Sissy" namecalling, therefore proving that in your mind only "Sissies" would not find burning trapped small animals to death entertaining.

You said it. Be a real man for a change and admit it.

“"I'm not the one's approving of a person that thinks watching small trapped animals slowly burn to death is fun."

It was ONE rat and it died pretty quickly from what I could see at 75 yards.

Go soak your head.”

“Go jump, you are a sissy.
That has a lot to do with your particular sickness, I reckon.

Nothing I could say could cure what ever is wrong with you.”

So it's AOK as long as it's one small animal.”

“What apron you wearing tonight, MarkO?
The pink one or the flowered one?
LOL”

“Maybe if the guy was cooking that rat for dinner, this would be a totally different thread.”

“Okay folks, let's have some respect for Stove Stomper getting in touch with his inner self and going over to P.E.T.A.

He probably operates a rat rescue mission on weekends and all this carping is just uncalled for.

It's okay Stovie. I got yer back. Kumbaya, bro!”

“I hear he's been going around throwing himself onto live rat traps.

He's a regular rat folk hero.”

“I can see violin pouring gas on a small live animal and lighting it.
We don't call him 'Vile' for nothing, LOL.”

“No - you call me stupid names because you've got the maturity of a 5 year old...

no offense intended to actual 5 year olds.”

“LOL
..but I'm not the one defending MarkO for his depravity.”

That's right, Big Daddy, you're the one who is assigning me this "depravity" which you have cooked up from my relating a story about witnessing a rat being "cooked" by some unknown party in a Washington D.C. alley in 1980.

Take heart for I will surely post other things in the future which you can twist around to make me into some kind of fiend to satisfy your need to pay me back for some real or imagined slights that I have inflicted upon your righteous self.

sincerely

“Come on MarkO, don't go away crying.
Be sure to play the victim now, LOL.”

“Hey, I made you laugh.
Mission Accomplished!

Unless that "LOL" crap is just a phony response to save face.”

“Dang MarkO, you really are as dim as Mutt thinks you are.”

“Think a little longer and you might come up with more clever responses.............dumbass.”
