Let's just say it was way tacky (way way tacky! )and we did that in the winter, not the summer...summer's for bare feet or flip flops - pasty white or not...cause once you've been barefoot about a week, the lovely color of clay mixed with dirt gives you a southern glow that no suntan can do!


clay mixed with dirt. hmmm. sounds interestingly dry. where do you live. We get a lot of dirt mixed with sand. but , we actually do have an area where there is red clay dirt here. You get it on you and yeah, one becomes rosey dirty. The red clay is strong enough to color t-shirts a beautiful dirty red color.

We got some of that red Georgia clay in some parts of the area...mostly dirt though that is really dirty cause of the lowcountry swampiness of the area. We are below sea-level and everything is marshy or muddy or swampy. Kinda smells, too...LOL Ahhhh....I love the smell of pluff mud in the morning. (Not really...yuck! )

Tye-die? LOL I still tye-die! Just got through with a tye-died skirt to wear for the summer! Tye-die is great for gauzy fabrics and you can do the dying so it doesn't look all 60-70ish.

Has anyone read the "You're too young for me if..." thread in Singles? There are some good lines in the thread. But not being single, I can only lurk and laugh.

Ok, this morning, my daughters "flip flops" were by the front door. I asked her to put her thongs away. She looked at me with a mortified look. "Mom, I don't have any thongs!!"

So, then the explanation happened. Needless to say, she decided she liked the term "flip flops" much better.

Rubbah slippa, or zore are the way we refer to those things.

When I was younger, used to run around barefoot even on the lava, but now my poor feet are way too tender.......

I used to run barefoot on the hay or straw stubble but haven't ever experienced lava. We had a reddish clay in one corner of a field, we used to go play with it and think it was a great thing to be potters for a day. Fingernails would be stained for ever after.

Shower shoes. Good one. yeah we call them flip flops or rubbah slippah! I think it's Hawaii's state shoe, like the state flower is Hibiscus.

I was driving down the road during lunch today listening to some sophisticated music on the radio and was, yet again, reminded that the mindless drivel in today's lyrics just do not measure up to the songs of our youth:

Chicka boom, chicka boom,
Don't cha just love it?
Chicka boom, chicka boom,
Don't YOU love it?
Chicka boom, chicka boom,
Don't cha just love it?
Chicka boom, chicka boom, boom, boom.



(I might have gotten some of the words wrong, but I think the message is still there.)

ha. that is for real? it's almost not funny.

but it does bring to mind some words about the yellow polka dot bikini or was it a yellow submarine or some such? Or what about the purple people eater something or other.

Course my favorites are the ones about selling paradise to put up a parking lot. I think that was prophetic though.

Or those great lyrics that have gone down in history and been translated into the Lord only knows how many languages:

Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah,
How's my precious little Bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me.
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kis me.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's better.
Muddah, Fadduh, kindly disregard dis letter!


We have this album. My kids have all the songs memorized. I partial to King Louis.

Everyone loved that song. Hard one to trump.

How about the big band, anyone remember those. My uncle played a trombone in one of those when I was too young to appreciate it. The trombone guy was big then. :)

Wow - been awhile since I heard alot of those songs...growing up near my great-grandparents as well as grandparents, I heard lots of big band music along with seriously old and twangy country or Country & Western as it was called back then.

However, I skipped right to the psychodelic music of the day as well as folk music that had what we considered "a message" to it. uh huh - sure it did...

I remember Shakey's Pizza Parlour when I was a kid, and a big guy who sang requests and a smaller guy who played the piano -- they both had on striped shirts with armbands and straw hats. I always requested "Honey" by Bobby Darin or Bobby Vincent or somebody like that:

"See the tree, how big it's grown,
But friends it hasn't been too long...."

One of the lines said,
"She was always young at heart,
kinda dumb and kinda smart..."
I asked my mom how she could be dumb and smart at the same time, and she paused and said, "Well.....that's kind of how you are." I guess I've always had my blonde moments.

I also remember, as a kid, "Mairsy Doats and Doasy Doats."

Teen years, I was into Bobby Sherman, then David Cassidy, then The Monkees.

I absolutely loved Shakey's Pizza - we also had a Village Inn pizza place that was similar.

And Bobby Sherman's Julie do ya love me album was my very first personal purchase...didnt' really like it though. Moved quickly onto the Monkees, the Turtles and the Zombies.

Gosh - it's been years since I thought of that pizza place. It was right next door to a drive-in that we used to cruise on the weekends. LOL

Bobby Goldsboro sang "Honey." I always loved that song.


I remember Shakey's Pizza. I loved the sing alongs.

I had forgotten about Bobby Sherman. I remember having a crush on him and watching that lame show 'Here Come the Brides." I think that was the name of it. It was one of those shows that basically had the same plot week after week.


Martin,

I love swing, so I can't help but like big band. I got to see Bob Crosby's orchestra when I was a kid and got to meet him too. I would have LOVED to hear Duke Ellington live.
