Well, musick, Father Steve mantled you, as they say on another board, but I figured I'd let someone (or sometwo) else bring it up before I admitted to my small degree of separation from George Lindsey: he is (was?) my third cousin. I'm guessing goober means "pea-brained" or similar.

Goober = pea-brain, definitely. George Lindsey: he is (was?) my third cousin Cool! Are you enough on his good side to be named in his will?? [slavering e]  gh, when you were a barefoot child in the Ozarks, you had to walk all the way to the TV to change channels and it was uphill both ways, right?

It sounds like they are closer to 1 1/2 degree of seperation...
...he is (was?) my...

Isn't a goober those jujube type candies? You know...they are clear and have very sweet "fruit" tastes and are chewy like rubber. As if you only added a few millilitres of water in Jello.
Oh, I know, like those bears.

Yes, they were pitched in the same advertisment song "Goobers and Raisinetes".

gh, when you were a barefoot child in the Ozarks, you had to walk all the way to the TV to change channels and it was uphill both ways, right?TV? We had a cardboard box and would take turns sitting in it at night, entertaining the family. Yes, lots of hills, but what's a channel?

I am assuming that mantling someone is a bad thing to have done, so I will apologize for it, without having any sense of what it is that I did which constituted this sin.

At least in the Ozarks you didn't have to worry about it being through the snow.
And, DaddyioS, 'mantling' is 'chopping someone's liver.'

And, DaddyioS, 'mantling' is 'chopping someone's liver.'Sorry, but I'm drawing a complete blank with that one, Faldage. Edit: Oops! Never mind! I just saw the other posts in reference to Father Steve mantled you, as they say on another board ...That's what I get for not reading my entire thread first.

...as they say on another board...I was under the impression (my memories') that this is the original place for *mantling. But then again... http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=101395********* Have no fear, Dear Father, 'tis not all that bad. Besides, I do believe you were off (with a new wife) knitting the fabrics of life together whilst all that was going on...
