The lifeline of Clayberry is at hand but has been canceled for being worked on again this year. Its Rt. 16 Hartland bridge that has been canceled once again for work as it would benefit the people south of the bridge where most of the counties businesses is located. They do intend to have a hearing in Charleston at the capitol complex (of course) as noone there cares about what happens in Clayberry. Get your boots on folks as the BS will flow deep around Charleston the entire year of 2012.
Happy New Year to everyone and get your insulated bikini's out ur gonna need them this week.
Somebody turn that blasted snow blower off!!!!!
Wonder if it's snowing where Burlys at?
I wish you could "like" comments here like you can on Facebook - I love that "snowing where Burly is" comment. LOL
I don't know if its snowing where Burly is but here its still pouring with around 7" on the ground and colder then a well diggers a--.
One thing for sure, Burly don't have to complain about wet toast cause the roof don't leak where he's at.
"It's so cold it would freeze the balls off a brass monkey".
BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS?
It was necessary to keep a good supply of cannon balls near the cannon on old
war ships. But how to prevent them from rolling about the deck was the
problem.
The storage method devised was to stack them as a square based
pyramid, with one ball on top, resting on four, resting on nine, which
rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked
in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem --
how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the
others.
The solution was a metal plate with 16 round indentations,
called, for reasons unknown, a Monkey. But if this plate were made of
iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the
rusting problem was to make them of brass -hence, Brass Monkeys.
Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster
than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass
indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come
right off the monkey.
Thus, it was quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
And all this time, folks thought that was just a vulgar expression?
You must send this fabulous bit of historical knowledge to at least a
few of your intellectual
friends.
Don't know about a monkey but it was cold where I live and there were no monkeys that I know of but the duck pond froze over.
Ayr ye havin duck soup tonight?
If he shoots his gun, it could be monkey.
But some times duck taste better.
No duck soup but heard a neighbor was having coyote stew.
Is he Chinese? I hear the Chinese eat dogs.
I read in the Free Press that mountain lions are back in the area.
In time you can see anything if you drink like a fish even at daylight.
No not Chinese he's pollock

Just remember to wear the goat skin on Jan.28,2012 so you can get used to being screwed by the BOE for the next five years if you vote for the levy.
Beat the machine run for something.
The voters of Clayberry threw Petey out of the commission club and now its time to keep him out of the assessors office also. Higher taxes on homeowners is his motto.
If Pete is elected, he has to make up for Linkinoogers coal giveaways.
Their all in bed together. If Randy snores, wonder if he keeps link up at night?
First day of Levy voting early at the courthouse and if you can get there just vote NO on the levy
Better get off your donkey and get over to the courthouse and vote against the shafting of taxpayers in Clayberry. Seems just forty votes have been cast already and of course they are the ones working in the courthouse who will stand up for nothing but will fall for anything.
Just one time in my life I would like to see 80% of the voters vote on this levy instead of the 20% that usually vote.
