If I had a conjoined twin and she listened to new country, I'd cut her off of me

[LaraMN]

and risk bleeding to death or not ending up with one of our shared organs.

The other day I was stuck in line at the store behind some girl singing along with a ridiculous pseudo-southern accent to some piped-in country song. I wanted to grab one of the bags of pretzels combos off the shelf by the checkout and smack her roundly in the head with it.

Then I got home and my neighbor was out in his driveway doing something to his truck (presumably to make it larger and more juggarnaut-like), and he was blasting more crappy country music to help him "focus" or something, I guess. x(


One time I saw Buck Cherry at our Perkins. Unrelated.

2. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your conjoined twin's face.

3. Pre-70's "country" was actually that - somewhere around Ricky Scaggs - well....

"Well, I loves my country musics.
And I sings it up just swell.
But after Ricky grabbed a mike,
It all just went to hell.

I like my pickup trucks,
and I like the chicks I get.
But this whole country music thing
Has really gone to shit."


For the record, I just made that up in about 30 seconds - like right now, freestyle typing. And I put more thought into it than pretty much anything on a country station these days.


Now, if we're talking Johnny Cash - now THERE is some country music!!!!

[LaraMN]

9. Oh, I won't complain about Johnny Cash.

Him, I admire.

Garth Brooks, not so much. He's probably not very "new," but he continues to offend.

[ReliantJ]

16. What about good Ol Willie Nelson?

[redqueen]

13. I like Dwight Yoakam all right...

dunno about anyother new country though. Or even if he's still recording. I just know in the 80's, I heard his stuff and thought 'yes'.

[Beer Snob-50]

4. my brothers family loves that shit

i helped my niece download a ton of that crap onto her ipod from my computer and i thought, my god child, let your godfather play you some real music.

[LaraMN]

7. Ugh! I feel ya. My FIL likes it too. He's in Mensa; It seems a contradiction.

Someone will inevitably get mad at me for saying that.

[SidneyCarton]

5. Mrs. Carton likes that stuff.

She doesn't like my music. So when we ride together we compromise with silence, or NPR. On the upside, we've had a lot of good conversations on the road.

[LaraMN]

6. My husband won't talk to me in the car. He claims it makes him car sick.

I just take it as a valuable opportunity to talk at him incessantly.

[DS1]

8. I'd cut you off me just for saying "off of"

:grr:

[LaraMN]

10. Aughh! Omg! And now I can't fix it!

Thanks a lot! If you loved me, you wouldn't have even said anything.

Of course if you loved me, you wouldn't have flushed me, either.

:rofl:

[Arkansas Granny]

11. That's what I wake up to on my clock radio every morning.

There's not a chance in hell of oversleeping. Must get up and turn it OFF!

[Kat45]

12. There actually is a pair of cojoined twins, one of whom wants to be a coutry singer

And I ain't making that up.

[leftofthedial]

14. sugar?

git me a beer.

[tigereye]

15. new country is really rock and roll!

:rofl:


actually I prefer alt-country...

[MissMillie]

17. um.... headphones?

Seriously

18. "I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like

country music, denigrate means 'put down'". Bob Newhart

Hubby found this great quote last night - seems apropos here.

[BarenakedLady]

19. Hahahaha

I should feel bad for laughing out loud at that, but I don't atm.
