Not mauled at the mall

Note: New Post on BACK Porch




I doan know about ya'll, but I'se mildly claustrophobic, so y'ain't gonna find me in no Mall the weekend after thanksgivin'. I doan give a hoot what all they's put on special, nuthin' is that special!

When I'se a teencracker, I was in the old Florida Bldg in downtown G'ville gettin' textbooks and on the way down the elevator done froze up. Thar I is, stuck all by myself a'tween floors in the dark...fer three hours.


By the time I'se rescued, I'se got a case of full blown claustrohobia. Ain't recovered much in the decades since.

But anyhoo, what I wanna ask is does ya'll go fer gettin' mauled in the mall? If so, what is so wonnerful that ya cain't wait a few days...why we's got folks lines up in sleepin' bags to beat the crowds--reckon ya heard too about the poor fella at a Walmart who was stomped to death over a flat screen TV.

Uncle is in the woods wif some clan menfolks, an I had a clan lady wif' me fer a few days an' we's done the girly stuff--oh yeah, sat up all night yakkin' an' picking over the Thanksgivin' leftovers, readin' the horror that is to come and why--see BACK Porch's new post--and schemin' how to survive the Obamanation years. We laughed and mocked the fearsome thangs--all great fun. So doan think if I mised the maulin' that I ain't had the swellest time this weekend--an' Granny is mendin' an all the kin is punch happy over that.

What we'uns figgered after we had lunch wif Pappy Cracker today is that life may not be quite this good again fer a spell..mebbe so, mebbe not, but fer today it were a fine fine time.

Hope ya'll is all content this weekend and have someone to love and feel loved--after all, what else is thar, really?

Okay, thar' is a Gator victory ...heh. (28 -9 Gators as I type)

I Ain't gonna do it--no way!















I ain't !



Nobody can make me.

I'd rather scrub floors.

Doan think ya' can persuade me.

Nuthin' is glittery enough to catch mah eye,


No bargain is big enough...








I ain't gonna git in mah buggy and slug it out wif' all them fierce red- eyed wimmin at no dern mall whar' they's all seein' who can raise blisters on AMEX cards afore they blister they bunions .

Mah sister -in-law akshully wears a T-shirt that reads "I was mauled in the Greedy Gap Mall"






NOPE -- the day after Thanksgivn' is mah signal to hibernate. Hunker down wif' a stack of books, clean the silver, organize the pantry.


For no one and no thing would Aunty set foot in no mall, boutique, not even
Madison Avenue .

Iffin' ya'll has the shoppin' fever, mah condolences. (but I'se happy to hear about yore war wounds.)
