aka "Walk Around Cool Down Day"
aka Fridays
translated - don't expect much from me today,
"I ain't here to work, it's Walk Around Cool Down Day!"
"Bigger is ALWAYS Better"
:) this is sarcasm
"Ain't Nobody Gonna Pay Your Bills"
keep your job & don't ask me for any $$
One Christmas Eve, pre-babies, we sat in the living room of my parent's house having a less than Norman Rockwell Christmas "moment" as my deddy recounted former co-workers...
Robert Reddick
**"We called him Red Dick"
(forgot the 1st name) Haddock
**"We called him headache...cause he would give you a headache when he talked"
**When he says "we called him" I don't mean that's what they said behind their back - it's what "we" (meaning probably just Johnny) called these men to their face**
In talking about his former boss, "Big Mama"..(heavy-set black woman).
She called him in her office one day & asked him directly, "What do you call me?"
He said, "Big Mama - ain't that what you want to me to call you?"
"No, I do not want you to call me that?"
Walking out the door, "Alright, Big Mama..."
"Oh, you can go to lunch with me...you gotta ride in the back of the truck though"
"You ain't my friend"
"And I ain't takin' you fishin"
In need of a cooler - no worries...
Take a Wal-mart (store specific) bag, fill it up w.ice, insert beers & enjoy!
Black Electrical Tape
**Apply to anything & everything - a true fix-it-all**
"You wouldn't believe the RULES she GIVES me"
she being my mama
Oh, and calling things by the wrong name...
"Tanner, you playin' that DL?"
McDonald's drive-through "And one decapitated coffee"
Rehearsing Christmas play lines by using them casually in conversation...we didn't know he was "rehearsing" on us -
"Have you ever seen angels fly? Do you really think they're real? Shhh, the Christmas program's about to start - it's a real doozie!"
One of the best of all time (Erika would agree)...story about when he was a lil' boy - at the dump w.my Pappaw gettin' copper from old appliances...climbed up a tree only to chant insults at the little black boy(s) down below...I won't spell out the lil' song he was singing :)
here's the karma part...
"I was up there singing 'bleepty bleepty bleepty'...then I fell outta the tree...hit every g**damn branch on my way down! Broke my damn arm, too!"
like I said, karma :)
Wouldn't be a true "Johnny-isms" post w/o mentioning a classic,
"That's funny, I don't care who you are!"
(yes, I know Larry the Cable Guy says it too - but the fact Johnny says it like he came up w.it makes it all the funnier)
In spite of ourselves - he amuses us more than I like to admit. So here's to you Johnny Boy...there's not a Walk Around Cool Down Day that goes by that you don't come to mind...Happy Friday!
