ATHENS 2012

[Clams]

You guys are fucking killing me. I really need to stop looking at this thread.

[mark lynn]

Last day of work. Gonna be a tough one

This is when you were an extra in that Billy Jack movie, right?

This must have been what he looked like when he helped throw The Ramones(minus Joey) down the stairs. A long time ago like back before disco arose and when you could get quaaludes and nobody knew doing cocaine all the time was bad for you.

[colodogdoc]

Last night's preparations included watching TSTAHE for the 23rd or so time. Tonight ACL DVD, tomorrow packing and Thursday I'm off!

Sorry Clams, we all admire your commitment to your family while simultaneously being glad we aren't you...

"me & my buddy will most likely be at cutter's watching that game. yr welcome to hang with us"

Sounds like a plan!

[Lurleen McQueen]

Well. Shitty morning. Hydroplaned on I-20, slid into a muddy ditch. Spun around a couple of times for good measure and careened toward other lane of oncoming traffic. Saw my number fly by for sure. Did not pee my pants, but sure could have. Waiting for a tow back to Jackson, then rental car, then try this again. Too bad I can't drink- my nerves are SHOT. I feel like a miracle to be alive for sure.

Sweet old Sam at AA towing is going to the gas station to get me a bottle of water and some peanut butter nabs to calm my nerves while we wait for the insurance company to authorize the tow back to Jackson. Good southern gentlemen taking care of me all morning...bystanders, sheriff's deputy, MDOT guy and one very sweet midwesterner keeping me calm over the phone.

Glad you're okay! I'm feeling deja vu from when you took off last year?!

[beantownbubba]

Lurleen, you must have missed the page in the playbook that said this was gonna be the good weather, smooth travel year. That spinning into the oncoming traffic lane helplessly in what feels like slow motion moment is not an experience one wants to have too often. Hopefully, that's your last. Glad you're ok!!!

Those sweet midwesterners are rocks when u need 'em most!

No shit BTB. That shaved some years off! Now the sweet tow truck driver (son of Sam) is buying me a hamburger at the Wendy's drive- through and then we're on our way back to jackson.

Holy crap!! Glad you aren't too much the worse for wear Lureen. I hope the rest of your trip proves to be smooth and uneventful. See you and TC on Thursday.

Glad you are okay, lucky that didn't happen up north, when I wrecked my car last year the tow truck guy stole my satelite radio and my cd. player out of mycar.

[uncle rickey]

Woo hoo! Just finished work. It's getting so close now I can practically taste Swamp's beard.

22 hours from now I'll be at Flicker!

[Penny Lane]

Just talked to Lurleen and she's shaken up but almost to Atlanta, sitting very cautiously in 5 lanes of traffic..almost there

[Lurleen McQueen]

Here. Safe. One piece. Whew. Now if someone could just pry my white knuckles from the steering wheel and run me a bubble bath por favor. Did I mention the towtruck driver just finished a 5 1/2 year stint at parchman for meth and his girlfriend might be pregnant?

How "just" and how "might"? I'd hate for that math not to work out

Cost sixty dollars
Hope i don't run out of dough

Told me 'bout a sex offense
Put him three days in jail
Stuck in indianapolis
Hope i live to tell the tale
