Yay, I got posted!!
Now, of course, the trailers will revolt.
("Hey, the trailers are revolting!"
"Nah, they're not so bad.")

Why bother with the correction - trailer trash can't read.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2006 at 03:21 PM
Congrats, Mr. C! When are you coming out with a book?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2006 at 03:22 PM

high fives the copy editor. good one!

The Original Article in case anyone wants to link to it.
Posted by: Brad | November 27, 2006 at 03:25 PM
"The phrase "trailer trash" was not used by anyone quoted in the story and was not intended in the headline to refer to Kenner residents living in FEMA trailers. The headline referred to the trailers themselves."
Yeah, right.

Yeah, right, uh huh. And those other folks didn't mean the slight about those 'turkeys' in New Jersey . . .

Pretty picayune, if you ask me....

Re MKJ's link:
NJ Transit spokesman Dan Stessel says the turkeys flew away after this video image was taken and it is unknown where they came from.
I believe I saw them transferring at Hoboken.

Yes trailer we meant trailers not you. Not get the He** out of our building.

Isn't 'tornado magnet' the appropriate term?
Posted by: fivver | November 27, 2006 at 03:49 PM
Times "trailer trash" term touts tornado magnets.
Posted by: casey | November 27, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Trailer trash is a post-tornado trailer

Pogo..oops. Technical difficulty.
All my uncle dads have trailers and are dang proud of 'em too. Some of 'em even come with fancy garden tubs and stuff. They have to pay extra for roofin tires, tho.
Posted by: casey | November 27, 2006 at 04:03 PM
So... just wondering. Did FEMA provide emergency transcamaros along with the emergency trailers?

Per Foxworthy - "If your richest relative buys a new house, and you have to help him take the wheels off..."

Think Dave will post anything today? I bet he's tooling around his livingroom on his Cruisin' Cooler ™ shouting "Weeeeeeeee!" while the rest of us sit here, coolerless, waiting....
*sigh*
I guess I could read this book I have here about some miracle oosik.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | November 27, 2006 at 04:12 PM
WOW took me a long time to read all the threads today, lol. You're a busy guy, Dave.
*Snork @ blurk, i have relatives in WV also.
Posted by: DavetheRed | November 27, 2006 at 04:40 PM
*Snork* @ casey for 'uncle dads.'

MKJ - those turkeys were heading for Pheasantville, NY.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2006 at 05:33 PM

How many trailer trash folks called to complain about being called trailer trash?
Posted by: norawall | November 27, 2006 at 05:48 PM
Seacolt to seahorse:
"Daddy, is that a unicorn?!"
"No, I believe that's a norawall."
Posted by: CJrun | November 27, 2006 at 06:05 PM
FWEEEET! Ten yard penalty on Siouxie for illegal use of "ya'lls". Proper usage in that context is "all y'all".
Posted by: pogo | November 27, 2006 at 06:17 PM
LOL pogo...sorry but my "trailer-trash talk" is a bit rusty.
"iffin yas knows whut I means."
Posted by: Siouxie | November 27, 2006 at 06:26 PM
Y'all - 2nd person plural
all y'all - 2nd person plural aggregate (a group of groups)
y'all's - 2nd person plural possessive
see also - momanem

My cousin was in for Thanksgiving. He grew up in the UP of Michigan. He's now in Georgia. One of his kids saw us stairing at the turkey and said, "All y'all ready for dinner, aye?"

Posted by: Just Ducky | November 27, 2006 at 08:40 PM
CJ: and a finer lookin' norawall never did swim in Lake Pontchartrain! :)
