The only place more up-tight t

2009-04-27T00:14:57.018+02:00

The only place more up-tight than the U.S. over nudity is the Middle East. Blood & Guts OK but Penis, breasts, and Vulva God forbid LOL. Just like in the old days if you wanted to see nudes you had to buy National Geographic. Now you subscribe to the science channel, the travel channel, or good ole Nat. Geo. and look for the shows with “indigineous nudity” where you may observe people from 5 to 70 years of age wearing nothing but a smile. Speaking of smiles, some of these supposedly primitive people have got great looking teeth (??). Must be their diet.Back to the point though, the old argument about protecting our children by preventing them from seeing nudity is ludicrous. Truth is most 10 year olds have seen more nudity than their parents have or ever will. We do them more harm by trying to keep them ignorant. It is a bit like handing a 16 year old the keys to the car without so much as a single driving lesson. Then we wonder why we have more teen pregnancies in this country than in other civilized countries (duh!!!).

As I am writing this I am watching the French equivalent of MTV and there is currently a video on in which a mass orgy is taking place. I guess it would be going to far to say that their is complete nudity, as there are a couple of sheets floating around, but there are boobs and asses aplenty. One time when I was in Wales, I went into a pub late at night and everyone in the place (including the women) were gathered around the tele watching this group of women stuff ping-pong balls into their “reproductive systems”, and then expel them with great force. I don’t know if they were watching some sort of pay-per-view channel or not.We are definitely more hung up about nudity and sex in America. Last weekend we were trying to get off of a train, but our exit was held up by a couple who were engaging in a marathon makeout session. And keep in mind, that I live in Switzerland which is considered one of, if not the most conservative country in Western Europe. I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone with my crass language in the proceeding paragraphs.

Howdy Bucky!Just received my batch of 2lbs of ramp! They look good in the bag, will let you know how they are after I take ‘em outta the fridge and start to use ‘em! Thank you for the fast shipping.I hope I can order another batch when my Chinese mother-in-law is in town, not sure if she’ll be here in time before they start to flower; but she’ll have all sorts of wonderful things to do with them and I’ll share the recipes with ya’ll.

2009-04-15T03:03:40.226+02:00

Hi Pamela. They are getting quite large this time of year, but they haven’t started to flower yet. When they begin to flower, I stop digging them.Some people (my family included) like the larger bulbed leafy plants. Others, would rather have the ramps before they leaf. It just depends on personal preference.

Hello Bucky, I was born and raised in WV but left 21 years ago. Until a few years ago I could always rely on my family back home to can some so they would be available on my trips back home. They seem to be harder and harder to find. I hope it isn’t too late in the season and they are not too big. I just ordered 2lbs.

Hey, I was trying to get some ramps together for my wedding, which is going to be April 4th in Berkeley Springs…do you think ramps would be around and easy to find that time of year in Morgan County? Or should I be ordering some from you? (I’m from the Shenandoah Valley so I don’t know much about them…)

Hi West Virginia Blogger, I live in W.Va. to, and I was just wondering how much you want for a pound of these things? I heard my brother say he’d love to have some to plant and get started. He said he really liked them. He asked me about them and I told him I never heard of these things. They sorta look like onions with garlic tops..When you let me know, I will tell him I found him some ramps, if he wants them..Thanks much, DarleneIt’s too late for Ramps now. I do plan on selling more next year, starting in March…. weather permitting.

Bucky: Good speaking with you via e-mail. I’m very happy to have come across you for my “ramp” needs, as I’ve never eaten any other ramp other than a “West Virginia” ramp. I look forward to my order, and I’ve let my mother know of your ramps for sale. I’ll save this website and will get more ramps next year from you as well….that is…in case..I can’t wait until next year after I eat the ramps you send me. Take Care! Tell Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia hello for me and that I’ll be seeing her in June!Thanks Denise! I’m sure that West Virginia misses you. Is there any other kind of ramp than a West Virginia Ramp? Nope. The best come from WV!

That, and a lot of Americans just don’t care.Irony is one word for it. I can think of countless more, but I don’t want to offend any of your readers. Good stuff though, I needed that chuckle.

We always said “hotter than blue blazes” too (the blue part of the flame being hotter than the yellow.) As far as phrases, you really covered them all for me, I think.

2009-01-20T04:45:45.779+01:00

We always said “Hotter’n blue blazes” – not colder. Colder was “than a witches teat.” The Evil Twin often says “Hotter’n the hinges of Hades”. I don’t know where he got that one from. My dad used the phrase “Do what?” when asking someone to repeat themselves. My husband says the same thing and is the only other person I’ve ever heard doing that. Another phrase I got from my husband: “Uglier than a bag of assholes…. with all the pretty ones taken out.” And an unwise move will “go over like a turd in a punchbowl.” I know I have more, but it’s not even 7:30 and I’m only half awake.

2009-01-20T04:45:35.779+01:00

French speakers say, “sante” when someone sneezes. You should talk to my grandfather. He has more of these than any human being I have ever met. Unfortunatley, I don’t think I can repeat most of them here, but there a few that are ok. He has also developed his own vocabulary and system of spelling to go along with his idioms.1) One time I ran over a chain with a hay mower and screwed it up royally. While we were working on it he got frustrated with it and he looked at me and said, “YOU KNOW, YOU COULD FUCK UP A FREIGHT TRAIN.”2) Another time we were walking around a pasture field clearing limbs off of the fencing when I commented that there seemed to be a bunch of dead trees, to which he replied, “IT’S THAT GOD DAMNED AIR COMPLUTION.”3) Yet another time we were using a generator when it started to rain, I said something about turning off the generator and said, “you had better not touch that thing while it’s raining or you will get ELEXECUTED.”

Well, that and I’m not a big fan of the penis, unless it’s my own.I nailed my thumb to a board with a pneumatic staple gun using 1-1/2″ staple. That didn’t hurt as bad as I expected, but the glue like coating that holds a rung of staples together causes a nasty infection that hurts like hell.Yes, you know the person I am speaking of. He lives on the same street I do. And, there is a fella at work that is really starting to piss me off.

Now that you have a son I think you are going to have to pay me a monthly fee to keep quiet about some of the things I witnessed you take part in your youth.But then I guess I might have one at some point, and I imagine you have infinitely more dirt on me than I have on you. So I guess a mutual pact of silence is in order. Perhaps we should formalize it and make it legal with a written treaty.
