Dad musings

[thunderchicken]

Dad still uses this one.. If you can't build it to be fast, chrome it and most people will think its fast.

Carry on boy, just don't get carried away


If you ask him how he's doing you will probably get..hangin in there like a hair in a biscuit

And he says this about my brother a lot...that boy would bury himself alive just to prove he can handle a shovel

And if he fancies you as dense, he'll say...that dude doesn't have the brain God gave a rubber duck

Grandpa always told me..Son, if it's got boobs or wheels, it's gonna cost you money

Go get me the belt.
Go pick your switch off the apple tree.
I'm gonna brain you.
I'm gonna knock that grin off your face.

Dad was clever. Too many isms to list. He was a character.

He also had a weird skill. You know the old saying "the sound of one hand clapping."? He could clap one handed. He seriously could. I wish I could show you but I cant do it. But basically he could flap his hand in such a way that his fingers would impact the base of the palm of his hand and make a clapping noise. I've spent nearly 40 years trying to figure out how to do it, but cant. However my 12YO son can. (somewhat, but far better than I can) I cant express how proud I am of this truly worthless skill.

If I had a dime for every time I heard "reckon so".

Don't do a job like those half assed Florida indians...the Semiholes.

Good stuff Maynard!

Describe a good meal: That'll make a turd!

After an error: Good job Mergatroid!

My dad was truly one of a kind! He had so many isms that sometimes you didnÂ’t even know what to say!
we lovingly called them Larryizms
way to many to list here and many were not appropriate.... I lost my Dad 2 years ago and I miss him SOOO MUCH!

When you git hurt “it’ll feel better when it quits hurtin”

When I would try and swell up on him to be tough,
“if you climb on a truck you’ll get dumped” and “if size had anything to do with it a cow could catch a rabbit”

when any one would say anything for no reason...”aw horse S$@&”

Insert entire Blazing Saddles movie script here!

You donÂ’t know NUTHIN!

And as he got older just like my Pappa would always say
”sit down boy, what’s yer hurry”

This reminds me of another one.
Dad always said,
"Don't let your alligator mouth overload your tadpole a**"

There was some thinking that was not done.

Ah, Dad-isms . . .

"Carrots are good for your eyes, but they hurt when you put 'em in."

"If you're not in bed by midnight, go home."
