Christmas In Clay County ...

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ...

An illegal bonus, a ride around town in the company truck & an alibi ...

My true love gave to me: a tongue lashing for smoking behind the building.

He Rose, since you got that big , illegal Christmas bonus, how bout you takin all of us down to GO-MART for chicken livers for Christmas dinner?

ROSE said...

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

We gotta get it voted in in a backdoor, illegal meeting first. Ah, heck, it'll just come through without a vote ...

Chicken livers & YooHoo's for everybody!! (I'd spring for the Red Bull, but I think everybody's about spastic enough this time of year ... BAHAHAHAHA LOL)

Clay County schools will be letting the kids out at 10:30 this morning, due to a water line break.

ROSE said...

I know a couple of kids who are willing to donate to the fund to make sure the water isn't on tomorrow, either ... LOL

Anonymous said...

I think lack of funds is what keeps the water off.
Those boys better hold on to their piggy banks.

Seems like just about the time we think Murder Mountain is going to die a quiet death (pun intended!), it's right back in the news again.

Hey Rose, what's the action up your way, the scanner's been a yap'n a quite a bit.

ROSE said...

Should I lock my doors & let the dogs loose or put out the "This house protected & Captain Morgan & Jack Daniels" ... oh, wait. That's for something totally different. I meant "This house protected by Smith & Wesson" ... BAHAHAHAHA LOL

You saw me on Murder Mountain?! Daggone it! See, CB, I told you my memory was shot - I was wanderin' around on Murder Mountain (probably with the Captain & Mr. Daniels) & done got Googled!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!

If you was up on murder mountain Id say your memory was the ONLY thing to get shot.
There aim seems to be a little bit off up there accordingn to the local news reports

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says,


"OK old fart, time for you to retire."

The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking over."
The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs. "You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start."


The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap.


He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. The Old Rooster is squalking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says,


"Darn.....third gay rooster I bought this month."

Moral of this story? ....

Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age, skill, wisdom, and a little treachery will always overcome youth and arrogance!


Only in Clayberry

Especially when an old fart falls on a pinecone.

ROSE said...

Here's some irony to start your day ....

Kanawha County BOE has decided to start drug testing of it's bus drivers & anybody who handles medication. But not it's teachers.

In other news, the Mitchell Report is out, letting us all know which pro ball players are hopped up on steroids.

The news media isn't outraged over the teachers not being drug tested, but boy! are they distressed about the doped up pro ball players!

"These are the people who influence our young people! These are the people our youth looks up to & mimics! It's disgraceful!"

The sad, sad truth here is that Barry Bonds has far more influence on our young people than teachers do. Teachers don't help dispute that when they hoot & holler about what an outrage it is that somebody wants to test them for drugs.

I think the moral of the story is to ... never mind. There are no morals anymore.

ROSE said...

Here are some Christmas observations, based on my most recent shopping experience ....

- Mall employees aren't supposed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" yet the music blasting in every store is Christmas music ...

- WalMart (where everything is so cheap because it's all made by starving abused children in China) doesn't give a rip about political correctness - all the employees there wish you a Merry Christmas. But you can't hear them over the blaring Christmas music.

- It's much more fun to buy gifts for people you like.

- It's way more fun to buy gifts for *yourself*!

- When you can't decide what to buy somebody, just buy chocolate covered cherries. Then, when they don't like them, they'll open the box, offer you one & you can "accidentally" eat the whole box!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!

I love the way you think Ms Rosey and I hate the false smiles and merry faces people put on this time of year, trying to be ever so nice when they would slit your throat in a heartbeat.
Commercialized Christmas is the worst thing I have ever witnessed in life and hardly anyone knows what Christmas is even about any more. Decorations are up and ready to go a month before Thanksging comes around and people have gotten so all Christmas is about is how many lights and how much money you can spend on junk that nobody even cares about having anyway. I see even the county Atheist is even benefitting from the events and hooplaa but yet they don't believe in anything.
Saw an email about Atheist holiday the other day and LUVED it as some judge made it very plain that their holiday was April Fools Day and explained that anyone stating their was no God was a fool therefore their Holiday has been declared. What should we do to decorate for April Fools DAy now that Christmas is so near, after all Wal Mart will have Valentines Day chocklate on the shelf next week. MERRY CHRISTMAS to ya

Did you know this?

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me.
What in the world do leaping lords, French hens,
swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out
of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
Today, I found out.

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were
not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone
during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.
It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning
plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each
element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality
which the children could remember.
-The Partridge in a Pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...
Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone.....

The green shirts were visiting MH the other night.Saw them myself talking in the lobby area with MH, looking really concerned.

ROSE said...

This has nothing to do with anything, but I just have to share it.

Just as I was getting to Clendenin this morning, I got stopped by a flagman. There was an endloader (or whatever), digging out the ditch & another flagman standing there at the bridge.

Now, the DOH people always have on blaze orange or something, to let you know they're standing there in the middle of the road.

Both of these dudes had on CAMOFLAUGE, head to toe ... LOL

I hope their wardrobe decisions aren't the best ones they make this week .... BAHAHAHAHA LOL

Differencw Between Jesus and Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole ...
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh ...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year ...
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited ...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa ...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap ...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?" ...
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ...
JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry" ...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys ...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but ...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree ...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in CHRISTmas, Jesus is still the reason for the season.

ONLY 2 MORE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!

Anonymous said...

Hanshaw snitched, Adam is getting a break because he is still a minor.Moved Hanshaw because HE snitched and they are protecting him from Young in jail.Hanshaw snitched on more than the dozer.Maybe insurance has something to do with the theft.Isnt Hanshaw related to the guy who owns the dozer?
