The “Harvey” send-up has run here on the Web at least once, more I think. It was among the cartoons I had selected to include in Beaucoup Arlo & Janis, but as production progressed and push came to shove, the two-week series was shoved aside because of space considerations. Maybe Volume II, but this is the only place you’ll see it at present!

I believe it was Ray Stevens, he of “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival” fame, who told the story of being invited to church by a friend without knowing it was a snake-handling congregation until the pastor walked in with an armful of poisonous snakes. He turned to his friend and asked where the back door to the church was. When he was told there wasn’t one, he said, “Well, tell me where you want it, because I’m about to make one!”
Debbe 😉 Once when I was relief bartending, a guy offered the bartender a $100 bill (back when that was pretty good money) under the same conditions it was offered to you. She turned him down flat.
When we got off work, she said, “Come on,” and we drove out to and parked in the middle of a cotton field and had a sweet smooching session under a beautiful full moon. That’s still one of the best compliments any woman has ever paid me.
Ghost, you know your southern humor too. It is Ray Stevens, and is called the “Smokey Mountain Rattlesnake Retreat”. I found it on youTube but it was full of real snakes too but not with Ray Stevens holding them.
Then I got distracted by a bunch of other stuff he recorded including a Shriners’ convention with tacky hookers and the famous Mississippi squirrel revival which I think is funniest he ever did.
Sorry, sometimes my tastes get questionable.
Yeah, that was a great compliment Ghost. Funny thing is women like us would never be bought but we liked to give presents I think to those who deserved them?
Have to say I have been puritanically faithful since I married, so morality plays a big part probably too.
I think I heard a Ray Stevens song about a gorilla or something. I wasn’t impressed.
Heh, some of us wouldn’t give a reward like that to somebody who had saved our lives. I mean, a hug and a peck on the cheek, sure. But longer than like five seconds? Makes me feel all icky inside to think of doing something like that. But I know there are women that don’t agree with me, so, Pax.
Nor would a real man expect more than that for saving your life, Munchkin, if that.
left ear ringing…
blog topic…
The weird thing is, somebody did save my life. And not only did I not get to hug him but I never laid eyes on him. All I know is that I have listened to the 911 tapes over and over. A man, certainly. Deep voice, Southern accent, black or white? I don’t know. My daddy has spent thousands trying to find him, but to no avail. He has disappeared. The deepest mystery in my life, and I have barely a clue. People keep smugly telling me that today nobody is “off the grid,” anybody can be found. But not him. I wonder and wonder…
