It's all been said a bizzillion times, so there's really nothing left to say ... but I just can't help but acknowledge it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVIS!

'scuse me while I go put on my Blue Suede Shoes & ponder on what a Hunka Hunka Burnin' Luuuuuuuuuuv he ... probably wasn't. LOL
Thangya-
Thangya vera muh.
Seventy-two years ago,
me & Jesse was born.
my blue suede's mildewed,
my gold lam-ay's torn.
my polyester jumpsuit's
fulla holes.
my love me is tender,
time's took its toll.
I was cryin' in the chapel
when Old Shep passed on,
my eyesight's shot,
my pompadour's gone.
takin' care o' business
now takes all my might,
but don't cry daddy,
I ain't lonesome tonight.
my hound dog's deaf,
the teddy bear's moldy.
life ain't easy
as a golden oldie.
doc says fried bananas
is bad for my heart,
but that's all right, mama,
'cause they just make me fart.
my good luck charm's
a medical ID.
but suspicious minds
no longer blame me.
the colonel started
them rumors I died.
that man wasn't nuthin'
but the devil in disguise
if I'm gonna make a comeback,
it's now or never,
but I know a hard headed woman
that'll love me forever.
Hello, Rose. While at a show in Charleston a few months ago (at the Blue Parrot), I found myself drawn to the airbrushed items around the place. This was one of many that caught my attention. Since this thread's about Elvis and his birthday, I figured I'd share. LOL
YIKES! That's ... uh ... interesting, Smiley. LOL Black velvet's one thing, but ... uh ... LOL
hahaha...Yeah, it is definitely odd. Thought it might get a laugh (or at least one of those WTF looks). Mission accomplished. LOL
Hey Smiley, you better go get that job at the court house, tell Connie I recommeded you.
I went and got an application earlier today. Thank ya'.
I saw Elvis driving a taxi. I'm tellin' ya, I saw him.
was that today Caymomma or 50 yrs ago?
I don't believe that Smileytd: want's a job, she is always on the blog's. Hit the street child, stop asking people to help you find a job.
Nothing wrong with asking for help. Around here it's not what ya know, it's who ya know.
That isn't to say you don't know anything Smiley. Just trying to make a point.
To the anon at 7:26, if you would care to take a look, I've only asked for "help" once in all of the time that I've been posting on these blogs (since November of 2005). It wasn't help in finding a job that I was asking for, only if anyone knew of any available positions. Not that it matters, but I wanted to clarify.
That was over three months ago, anyway. I have been working since then. (For the record, the job at which I've been employed was one that someone here suggested.) Perhaps your discontent would be better spent on a cause which is worthy of such.
Anon at 9:08, it's ok. I knew what ya' meant. ;)
At least she asked for help & not a spot in the gimme-gimme-gimme line.
Smiley, that one wasn't even worthy of a response.
Caymomma, did you run over him like you did those poor innocent crabs?? BAHAHAHAHA LOL
Dang, someone is PMS, why do you care if smileytd,ask if any one knew where there were a job? If I lived there and needed a job I would do the same thing, Gas is high and there is lots of mile to travel.
we got nosy, nosy people try to steal your life away dey don wanna make no money turn de black people away. keep the rest in poverty so the parasites can play.
We don turn de black people away. thw welfare don't pay much and life is too rugged here. + too many oak trees. an not enough bars an wine stores.
not enough bars and wine stores....
cant wait for that strip club!!! woohoo we can all see naked women!!! white or black it dont matter--NAKED WOMEN. go clay what an improvement!!!
MAYBE THAT CAN BE A JOB FOR SMILEY
waddaya say smiley ever been a go go dancer?
Hahaha! Umm...no, can't say that I have (or ever will be). That profession's just not for me. LOL
(Rhyming was completely unintentional.)
Ya know, I've given this some thought & I think the Slop & Flop could employ several of us bloggers.
MP could supply the gift shop, since she knows where to find all those ... uh ... toys.
Southern Boy could run the gift shop, since he's so ... persuasive.
Smiley could be the greeter & the hostess with the mostest.
Little Black Santa could tend bar.
Crazy Cat could be the announcer.
WVChic could wait tables & refill glasses (everybody wants to pinch her hiney, anyway. She'd just as well get paid for it).
AW could run big, huge ads in his centerfold.
The Baboons could take up their spoons & hubcaps & pretend they're a band.
SirHenry & Sherlock could be bouncers.
Caymomma could supply live exotic marine life to liven up the decor.
I could sling hash.
and of course, CB could be the star dancer. I've seen CB dance. Believe me, it's worth seeing at any cost.
Who'd I miss??
speakin of CB. where'd CB get off too? in a corner hiding. CB dances and prances and i bet she drinks root beer. how can i practice my chosen profession if everone wears the wrong hat. CB where are you.
---------Hippy---------
Man I gotta bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. I can't be bloggin' all the time.
As for the dancin'...uh...
I don't believe I was the only one out on the dance floor. Plus I ain't quite as lite on my feet as I once was. I could suffer a heart attack if I tried it again.
CB
If I ever get thrown in jail in my mug shot I'm going use the same expression as Katina Butcher.
OMG! I can't believe I forgot Hippy!! Sorry about that, man.
D.J. Hippy definitely needs to be the D.J. & hopefully, he'll spin some tunes from the era his name implies ... teeheehee
You kiddin' me, man? I've got all their albums. Yes, albums. As in vinyl. LOL
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!
Woohoo!! I getta' be the greeter/hostess. Now, THAT is the perfect job for me. That means I can BS and chit-chat with people all I want because it's a part of my job requirement. :P
Hey, Hippy...would ya' play me a little "Born on The Bayou"? :P
Now this is more like it, you'all drink up and have another round on the king!
Of course you do, SirHenry. LOL
I was just trying to ... uh ... well, let's just say you might want to consider the bouncer position until you actually see who's going to be utilizing the pole. teeheehee
SmileyTD: You seem to be an intelligent person. There's nothing wrong with networking. That's the American way. Those who made those comments are jealous. At least you have the desire to make something of your life.
you actually work for a living CB. aint you ever heard of welfare, or supplemental social security, or regular social security disability or workmans comp., or faking an ins. accident. how can you afford bacon?
Well, thank you very much, Twisted. I appreciate your vote of confidence and respect. :)
LMFAO!!
That Katina is one jakked-up-lookin bitch!
Looks like she misfired and shot one of those eyeball lightning bolts through her forehead instead of out her eyes.
----------My My My----------
Hey everyone, it's happy hour!
I work once in a while so I can afford the bacon. I tried welfare at one point. Not enough money to live the lavish lifestyle I am so accustomed to. I will say, however, that they do give enough money on the food stamps if you don't resort to doing your grocery shopping at Go-Mart!
CB
I see I've cast my spell again.HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
CB
Everyone's so entranced by the vision of your dancing (with SirHenry as the ... ah ... pole), nobody can speak. LOL
Ya know, I'm wondering how often food stamps are used to Christmas shop at GoMart .... BAHAHAHAHA teeheehee
Elvis in all his glory can't match Michael J. and his punkey story.
then there's the slop & flop with a barroom queen middle aged and fat dancin' in blue jeans.
we got a baldy with a pole looin' for two buns round a hole. seems to me Mel's is to small we need RTs place for the hall.
we could dance and party all night long watchin' them beauty queens wearing only a thong.
Rose and CB would fit right in with their head in the commode pukin agin.
OMG, it's gonna fly in all directions now!!
(I haven't puked in a commode for years ... )
BAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah I know..... >; D
CB
Anyone heard who the guy was that wrecked into the river today?
Word on the street down at the gas station was, there was a Big foot spoted at the foot of sawsberry rd. and it run the car in the creek.
It was David Sears who wrecked. :(
this is getting interesting. CB you work ocassionally. you've tried welfare & foodstamps. not enough lucre to support your preferred life style. well that leaves two professions. robbing banks or selling your ass-ets. cb would you by any chance be a madam. myself i can't afford the mdse. but can i drop by and window shop. you gotta have something better than walks the streets of Clay.
David Sears went in the river? What happened??
Hardup, you're going to frighten my bloggers away. CB's definitely worth knowing, but you should let your karma work for you, not your sleuthing skills. teeheehee
I can't get over that,laughed so hard, I darn near spilled my coffee. Hey Rose, care for another round?
I think we should hold off on the next round - if too much coffee gets spilled, somebody might get hurt. LOL
Besides that if the coffee were spilled and it was "too" hot, someone could get sued!
Heck, I would'nt sue Rose for making me laugh.
So does anyone know if the Sears guy died? Which David Sears it was?
Elvis will never die Sir Henry! Matter a fact, today I had 4 burgers for lunch and I dedicated one of them in his honor. ( Thank ya very much )
going back a coupla comments Rose I kinda lose control when i begin to smell the coffee. now you take CB, she said she worked sometimes so she could bring home some bacon. never mentioned coffee. so reckon the coffee is at other peoples houses. i remember another occasion when people tried to change horses in the middle of the stream. but these egostical people never quit trying. now you take the bartender, litte black santa , ? , ICU, silly goose, sje, anonymous, all seem to have the same infatuation with your rectum. and seeems to have this thing against me. almost seems as if we might know each other. this egostical ignoramus always tries to butt in to my comments. so tell CB to drop me a line whenever she feels like. lost my nose in the fart hole for women a long time ago. they come they go. smart a**es ditto.

There is a light at the end of this tunnel,Folks.LS the man that Braggs about being so smart, that is smarter than the rest of us, will probably be in a resting home sooner than later. Now you-all don't have evil thought's twards him cause he needs your prayers
sounds like a threat to me folks. must be getting right down to the nitty gritty. reckon i better go ask the sheriff for protection from dje.
LOL My mind just can't go circles of this magnitude.
I will, say, though, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Hippy Era!! 1967 was the best year of my whole life ... well, at least half of it.
teeheehee
My heart goes out to the Sears family. The loss of David is far reaching.
Hey Rose, can't ya feel the love in the air, must be cause of the birthday tomorrow of my late but great hero, Martin L. King. I suppose there's a threat in this comment some where also.
When is it a threat to pray for a man? We all need prayer at times.
sounds like little black santa & the holy man are working as a team. or maybe it's two people, one computer. now me i got two computers, one people. can remember when these goat sexers had me down to hand writing on a legal pad & walking wherever i went. but the good Lord has helped me recover so you keep praying for me HOLYman. I NOW GOT MONEY IN THE BANK, A VEHIOCLE TO DRIVE, FOOD AND SHELTER, CLOTHING. I did say a little prayer the other day though. knowing how onery i am. i asked the lord for two extensions in my life. one was to give me a little more time to mend my ways. the other was for two inches so i could get a little deeper into things. might get the first, the second is kinda doubtful.
Dog gone if we don't got us a Holy Ghost revival going on, and right here on Roses blog. Could be a man has been saved, and right here before our eyes. Praise the Lord!
Happy New Years Rose!
the Lord is my shepard. i don't need him to help me at dominos. i can handle that job all by myself. even if i do cheat once in a while. if i didn't throw a game now and then i would win 99% of the time. now you'll be good and when Rose walks by lower your eyes a little farther down.
LOL Am I the only one who's perpetually lost here??
I believe you have every thing well under control, Rose--LoL--
good morning Rose; i apologize, but all is well that ends well. no one was murdered last night near here. although a fellow did bust a tire on a rock in front of my house last night. DJE stopped by this morn, was telling me about his uncle riding a deer off the river bluff and across the river near here. said the deer only had two legs. myself i think his uncle got hold of a lady bigfoot. morning CB. you'll have a nice day.
I used to know people who rode lady bigfoots around, but ... they sobered up. LOL
Good morning, all!!
I'm wondering, as so many of us sit at home, enjoying our holiday on behalf of Martin Luther King, Jr., if there are any white people anywhere working in protest??
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think we-all orta go down to the Clay Go-mart parking lot today an protest, drink coffee and protest about just about anything. Hey Rose, you buying?
Only if GoMart will change chicken liver day to Monday!!
WOOOO HOOOO!!!
Chicken liver & GoMart coffee to fuel a protest ... man, I'd protest just about anything with that kind of incentive!
I'll see what I can do about that, one moment,please!
No good, Rose! They said them suckers were frozen. Now if'n you was to say what time Wednesday, i'm sure we-all could manage to show up for a free meal.
I proclaim this national" Rose Cantrell" purtiest mom in Clay Co. Wv. day. None other need apply!
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I'm purty!! I'm so purty!! I AM SOOOOOOO PURTY!! LOLOL Ain't nobody can make sweatpants & fuzzy socks look as good as me, man!!
Lessee ... I'll have to check my social shed-u-all to see what I can do about Wednesday. It's so rude they can't rearrange the blue plates to accomodate me better. I so hate to miss out on chicken liver day ...
I think we all should join our local KKK and keep tradition going.
I didn't work today under protest but back in the 60's I sure done a bunch of protesting.
The KKK is still alive and well and you don't hear much out of them anymore.
Lil black santa should have been walking the streets of Akron back then so he could have been bopped with a mop handle with all but the ball cut off the end. Sure made for short work on some hard heads at 40 MPH.
Sure liked to watch them Bro's flop around when the mop head smacked them. Sounds cruel to you maybe but we got a national ni**er day now for the effort.
Anon should of used that mop head to wipe his behind, for he sure sounded and sounds now like he is still full of sh#t. You got that Sh#t head?
I know, ya can't get enough of that funky stuff!
Here is a little chore most people on here won't mind spending a little time on,Google the last names and see where there ancestry came from. You will be suprised who the real negro is around here.
NWD. National Whoremonger Day.
It always tickles me when people get all het up about "people of color."
Chances are, if you ever had an ancestor who lived anywhere near the South, you've more than likely gotta coupla distant cousins a little darker than you.
The beauty of this is that if you play The System right, you can use it to your minority advantage.
elvis was a dope head
yea, if he was still alive he could go to the go-mart parking lot to buy his drugs like everyone else
i think we have a live one, but he do make sense. maybe he has a dream
Umm...wow. I'm flattered. We have a Smiley wannabe amongst us. :P
Wonder how many folks on here have found out they got negro backgrounds?
Hey Smiley, you remember a fellow by the name of Sir Francis Drake. He's the guy that brought the first load of slaves, and many many more after that.
I doubt seriously Elvis would be buying his drugs at GoMart. Selling them, maybe, since he could probably afford his own prescriptions.
Hey, Smiley? Maybe the impersonators are in honor of Elvis. teeheehee
Hi Ho Hi Ho- it's off to work I go, kinda catchy is'nt it Rose?
Hahaha...Now that you mention it, Rose, you're probably right about that bein' in honor of Elvis. Why didn't I think of that?! ;)
to the ANON that posted on Mon Jan 15, 06:30:10 PM
if you look up the history of the KKK you will see that the original KKK was disbanded in the late 1800s. It was a small group of ex confederate soldiers in tennessee that got tired of the treatment from the union government after the war, so they formed a social club to seek better treatment. The group started having social events and slowly they started tormenting the local areas. The ex soldiers started killings. not only blacks but ALSO WHITES that they felt didnt give them fair treatment. it eventually grew into missourri and the government had to take a stand or possibly face another civil war. During the fight to end the KKK it spread like wildfire all across the south. KKK was widely supported across the south by the DEMOCRATS and the KKK grew to a small size army . The battles in missouri with the regular army were brutal. thousands died. Mostly white men from both sides.
they had purpose, but they went about it the wrong way. they were seeking better treatment of the ex soldiers.
After the disband the KKK resurfaced several years later in small localized groups with focus on racism, bigotry, and hate. Most people that proclaim KKK will claim to be pro white, but are ignorant to the fact that you guys have killed thousands of white people. Most of them not for supporting blacks. But for supporting or Union Government, Which we still stand under.
So your organization can be one of the most unpatriotic, anti-government group going. so if someone should be hung. between a black man that will fight for our freedoms or a bigot antigovernment KKK. It should be you for sure.
Hey Rose! Now I know why you like chicken so well. sg
Klu Klux Klan. Anybody game for starting a chapter in Clay? think we are going to need one.
There a KKK already here and no they are not the goat sexers club on the corner across from the bank. Since back in the 60's and the FBI put a bunch of undercover agents out into local KKK groups it is a bit hard to become a member.
So your organization can be one of the most unpatriotic, anti-government group going. so if someone should be hung. between a black man that will fight for our freedoms or a bigot antigovernment KKK.
If you would have served in the VN war and was discriminated against by the government you would not have a point of veiw such as this. When it all comes down to the final moment you don't care what color of skin the guy has that pulls you from the battlefield but you never forget what GOVERNMENT it was that discriminated against the WHITE MAN during that stinking war or after you returned home to a jobless country if your skin was WHITISH in color. Final point::: just because you read an article somewhere that the KKK was eliminated in the 1800's, keep your head in the sand with your A** sticking up maybe you can be rewarded with a burning cross.
101 reasons to turn the page Rosey
Not just chicken, Anon. FRIED chicken, pickled okra, turnip greens & corn pone. My grandma made the best. I have no problem with it whatsoever.
I also dig just about any Italian food, most Mexican foods & I've even been known to partake of German beer.
So, see, I don't have time to be prejudiced. I'm far too full of being mutt.
I do believe you're, right ... it is just about time to turn the page {sigh ... I do so love Bob Seger ...}
Rose, ya ever tried snails? um um!
How did we get from Elvis the pelvis, to skin-heads and chickens (Alias kkk)
just because a black has the name of washington or jefferson doesn't mean their ancestor was washington or jefferson. at one time slaves were only allowed one name. so when they were freed they adopted various surnames. doesn't mean these people were their fathers. although it was/is possible.
Poor SirHenry. It's definitely time to move on. LOL
Slaves took the names of their owners. The owners also named the slave babies.

you sorta misread my whole post or just chose to read parts of it!!!
i didnt read an article, i helped do a study on the kkk. it started as anti government and is still today along with its rasicm. i did say the original kkk was disbanded in the 1800s but went on to say it resurfaced as a hate group later.
further more i am a veteran and i know that the black men beside me is way more valuable than any antigovernment kkk. thats why i posted what i said. if you read the whole paragraph that you copied it insinuates that the kkk be hung before a patriotic black man.
you talk about discrimination toward veterans by the government. well look at the antigovernment(whic KKK is) war protesters. if you support the kkk and you are a veteran i strongly suggest you grab a book and read or start searching the web. you might be surprized with what you find.
their is a college course offered at wV state that covers us history from the civil war to present.
HISTORY 208-History of US from 1865 to Present.
i think you misinterpreted my view.
its plain. I am against the KKK. they are unpatriotic and stand for everything our nation is against.
I think it should be totally against the law to string someone up, now or then.
its plain. I am against the KKK. they are unpatriotic and stand for everything our nation is against.
Wed Jan 17, 09:53:55 AM
And you still don't get the picture. Wonder what made the KKK the way they are today?
You need a little cheese to go with your WHINEEEEEEEEE???
They strung up Sadam. That wasn't so bad.
I'm trying to find it in my soul to feel like nobody deserves to be strung up, but ... I guess my soul's just too black, 'cause I think some people just plain might.
Could someone tell me where the School Excess Levy dollars go? What are they used for?
you should ask where the levy money is supposed to go. it hardly ever goes where it's supposed to go. there's always well we need it over here. and then there's the expenditures that are unaccounted for. and then there's the problem of getting any accounting at all. as i was told at the sheriffs office one time, we can't let you see the bank balances.
AW end=fat arse
This reads as thought the levy $$ goes to AW's fat arse. Maybe that's not fat. Maybe it's a savings account.
teeheehee
If we never, ever, ever pass another levy in this county, what would realistically happen?
What does the levy pay for? Where's the spreadsheet budget that shows me the line item bottom line?
How much is this levy? Will it eliminate the over-priced cheesy fund-raiser stuff? Where has previous levy $$ gone?
Hmmm. So many good questions; so few answers.
Anyone? Anyone??
Ted Dixon, president of the Fayette County Education Association, says his members “have no problem with doing drug tests if there is a reasonable suspicion that person is abusing drugs. But we do oppose testing of all employees. It’s a waste of resources that could be better used somewhere else.”
Anywhere you work except the BOE with X amount of employees does drug testing happen. Do they just target a select few to test? NO all employees are tested periodically and on occassion you even have one show up with illegal drugs or booze in their system. Without a Dr. perscription for the drug in your system you are disciplined and depending on the drug use you are FIRED. Not via the Donald either.
Anyone that is around children should undergo drug testing, janitors,cooks, bus drivers, teachers and most of all PRINCIPAL's. Hydrocodone and oxy contin are the street drug of choice and should be included on the list of no no's.
I for one say test them all and if the test is positive defer the cost back to the employee and deduct it from their pay therefore putting the cost where it should be in the first place but I will never live to see drug testing for the school system let alone see them have to pay for it. For the kicker now, lets start testing welfare recipents also and if illegal drugs are found kick them off the system also. KKK all the way is how I see it Ms Rose also. Pop their neck like a pretzel or ole whats his name they hung with Saddam.
What does the levy pay for? Where's the spreadsheet budget that shows me the line item bottom line?
Remember this if you ever see that budget.
Figures don't lie but Liars figure.
The last levy netted Clayberry two less schools and a 8 million dollar bonus with extra hours to be spent on the busses and endangering the lives of Children unnecessaryly. VOTE NO FEB.24 2007
"This reads as thought the levy $$ goes to AW's fat arse. Maybe that's not fat. Maybe it's a savings account".
Rose, are you saying MP is a penny pincher?
(tongue in cheek)
teeheehee
I ain't saying nuthin'.
hahahaha Rose you don't have to but please turn the page
consider it turned.
I was trying to come up with something I love & I don't think CB would participate in a conversation about hockey, so ...
