Ummm, they would be past tense now. Got a station wagon and it isn't 4 wheel drive. Ouch, my manhood. Still can get the dog in though, but can't get that damn gun rack in the back window. Freakin gun falls out everytime I open it.
you should fix that. guns that fall out everytime you open a gun is a problem, i'd say. can't fire 'em if they're falling out all over the place.
I did fix it. I got a bigger dog.
dog's gonna fire the gun then?
We tried, figured I could drive and he could shoot. He's not a good shot and I have to stop to reload fer em.
it must be the lack of opposeable thumbs.
Pretty much what we figured. Same problem with me shootin and him drivin.

I figured it was more like, with that dog, who needs a gun?
"Go get the moose, boy! Go get him! Good dog! Now bring him back here - dammit, I SAID BRING HIM BACK HERE, YOU STUPID MUTT!!"
Okay, so it's not a perfect solution...

Apart from everything else I don't get, what is 'retted' Richie.
...and Merle we Aussies say pissed off. It's a bit more delicate that straight out 'pissed'. It has nothing to do with irrigation and all to do with irritation, PP.

I think he means "Redded." Which I have heard used as a way of saying cleaning or putting things in their places around the house. I first heard it being used by a Kentuckian.

Although I'd concede that "d" versus "t" is pretty irrelevant, as the spelling of words is not an exact science, I couldn't find anything remotely connected to cleaning under the various meanings of "ret". And... the same for "red". But...

You hear the expression redded up or retted up quite a lot in West Pennsylvania, around Pittsburgh. I hear sometimes used
by some of the Mennonites that live in south central PA.
As for muffins and pancakes on shrove Teusday...Nothing like a bag or two of Fastnachts to keep you nice and fat through
the season of Lent....

It's the season of yo-yo weather.... Nearly 70 degrees F on Tuesday now we might be seeing snow and cold snaps again.
