Gee Mikal, you didn't have to repeat them!!! But yeah, I have heard or used most of them. It's tough to remember all the things you say that sound odd to someone else. I just realized today THAT I SAY Tuesdee instead of Tuesday, thanks to Cara who also explained that the "older" folks all said it that way. Thank you Cara and may a porcupine nest in your underwear!

Hi Leej, you're "dead nuts on" about Jim Varney...he's a Lexington boy; a friends wife went to school with him. ...And then there is the Whittay Castille, those fine French restaurants, but with GREAT coffee. Columbus was corporate home to them for years and when we got a National Hockey League franchise, a lot of people wanted to call them the "Sliders" which would have been cute for a lot of reasons. They're calling the team the "Blue Jackets" in honor(?) of an obscure Native American warrior. My personal choice was to stick with the Buckeye state thing and call them the "Puckeyes." This got lots of air time on the radio, but I'm sure it wasn't even on the list so it couldn't be cut to begin with. Christ, I hate hockey anyway!
