Any reason why Library is spelled liberry, what's a liberry? :crazy:

Rich,

I you don't know, we can't tell ya. It's one of those instances in which we'd have to kill ya if we told ya. ;)

Naw, "liberry" is the way certain folks in Texas and Louisiana pronounce library. We have other words floating around: "picher" or "pitcher" for picture; "ax" or "axe" for ask. CX knows a lot more. He's good with the Texican language. :D

[cx]

What do you mean it ain't spelt right? :mad:

A Liberry is where y'all would keep y'all's books if y'all could read up in Lon Gisland. :tongue:

Maybe if y'all had more all under y'all's land, y'all would have more money up there and y'all could afford Liberrys and y'all's chilren could learn some of the finer points of life in other countries, such as Texas.

Come on down any time and we'll be happy to help y'all out, ya hear. :D

Well, I know how to spell Picher. I know where it is too. Picher is a city in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, United States. Formerly a center of lead and zinc mining.

Now as to retar? Hmmm Does that have anything to do with asphalt?

:D :D :lol1: :lol1:

I've always said I was multi-lingual. I speak English, Southern, and Redneck and while not totally fluent I do fairly well with Lower Appalachian.
