I sure remember you from last year's "A To Z" Blogfest - you were one of the very funniest bloggers participating!<br /><br /><br /><b>TALLI ~</b><br />Heck, Heaven wouldn't be so "heavenly" without bourbon, now would it? In fact, if you ask me, any place without bourbon would be more like hell.<br /><br /><br /><b>KITTIE ~</b><br />I really appreciate the "Zounds" lesson. I knew there HAD to be some good reason why that word has always appealed to me so much.<br /><br />I never saw 'Avatar' but... "the akashic records"? We don't get into that much on this blog. Neither the Akashic Records, nor talk about Chakras, Soul Pre-Existence, and Reincarnation. <br /><br />Most of my two readers expect me to keep to the topics of booze, sports, music, and... well... I guess that's about it. You know, the mo' "important" stuffs.<br /><br /><br /><b>JL ~</b><br />If I tell you, I go to jail. Now is that <i>really</i> what you want?<br />;o)<br /><br /><br /><b>ANGELA ~</b><br />I thank you, Sister! <br /><br />No, you're right: Not only are Chihuahuas NOT "groovy", but they "SUCK"!<br />:o)<br /><br />As for the Jack Daniel's and Lady Liberty: I hate to admit this but, that's a VERY old photo. 1983. It was no trouble carrying a bottle of whiskey over to the Statue then. All you needed was a bottle and a pocket. <br /><br />I've heard that they no longer allow visitors to enter the Statue, is that true? Back in '83, I climbed to the top and took a couple photos from out of the windows in her crown. (I might have also left the empty whiskey bottle inside her belly. Mind you, I'm not stating that as a definite fact, as I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on statues.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Yep, I t...Hi, Stephen, Thanks for the follow-back. Yep, I told the truth about 'zounds'. During Shakespeare's era it was actually stronger than the f-bomb. Will didn't write for English classes; he wrote to make money. His plays reflect the era's bawdiness. Actually, "Romeo and Juliet" is one of the dirtiest plays ever written.<br /><br />If you like, a university book store should carry a dictionary of what weird words like 'zounds' really meant back then. It's rough stuff, enough to make a sailor blush. I had to take several Shakespeare courses at LSU for my major. Really good profs put all in perspective.<br /><br />Also, my father said that during WWII, 'buff' was stronger than the f-bomb. Buffy the Vampire Slayer could be a tongue in cheek play on that era.<br /><br />And 'Avatar' swims in theosophy and the akashic records.<br /><br />It's all just writers having fun.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-10407807399286670792011-02-17T11:09:29.406-08:002011-02-17T11:09:29.406-08:00I'll have a 'lil bourbon in Heaven too, pl...I'll have a 'lil bourbon in Heaven too, please! :)Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-71738984363391820142011-02-17T09:51:43.470-08:002011-02-17T09:51:43.470-08:00It's always good to visit an old friend...enjo...It's always good to visit an old friend...enjoyed your BPB post and looking forward to the A to Z Challenge.

Ha! Jacques Danielle is whiskey but not bourbon. But there ain't a thing wrong with Jacques. In fact, that's Jacques I'm drinking at the base of the Statue Of Liberty in my photo on this blog. <br /><br /><i>>>.....Ever seen the liquor shelf at a mom and pop stop in Louisiana?</i><br /><br />Well, I don't recall specifically, but probably so.
