Morn'n, (sip) Ahhhh, coffee good!
Furriers???? Whose talkin about furriers?? We don't need no stinkin furriers!! :-D
Or, did you say farrier?? We don't need no stinkin farriers!!
OH, WHAT EVER. (sip) Mmmmm, coffee good.
What is wrong with farriers?
You need farriers if you have a horse! I liked all my farriers!
Who's a furshlugginer forgotten furrier? What's goin on here? Bunch a weirdos! Sheesh!
I was a farrier too. That is on my own horses. It's hard, backbreaking work let me tell ya. Did not want to do it for a living. Much rather be a wabbit.
yep - just HOLDING the horse could get to be tough!
I love it when they file the front hoofs - and the horse stands there with its front hoof stretched out in front of it, looking for all the world like a person having a dainty little manicure!
I always expect them to be in curlers or something at that point..
My God dl, RDTILMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a picture you have placed in my worn out head!
We have a big handsome farrier... a lovely man. Just about every farrier I've ever known has been charming, funny and, of course, v. good with horses. Unfortunately, a lot of them used to chew snuff.
Pifka,
...You dip snuff, and you chaw...er...chew tobacco. [this has been a public nuisance, announcement.]
Hmmm, I guess they chaw'd.
While without significant personal experience in the practice, I am acquainted with several who subscribe heartily. Styles vary; what is marketed as "Snuff " is commonly used also as "Dip", which the adept are able to cram a prodigious amount of powdered, often flavored, tobacco 'twixt gum and cheek. Such folk can spit with the best of conventional "Chaw" practioners, to my observation.
Just thought I'd clarify that.

Oh yeah, I bet you my Grandmother could outspit your Grandmother!
Your grandma and my grandma
Sittin' by the fire
My grandma says to your grandma
I'm gonna set your head on fire
Talkin' 'bout hey now, hey now . . .
Ah, the memories you'all are bringing back. My GGrandmother and Grandma both took snuff - between the teeth and the front lower lip. In the evening the Prince Albert can was on the floor next to the chamber pot!! I've seen some really expert spitters - some of them were GOOD.
I have certainly seem more people spit than I would have prefered. I think it is icky.
edit - I meant to spell preferred this way.
You're right Piffka, it isn't very nice is it. Unfortunately, I live right in the middle of the lower end of the Bible Belt (Southern End) and when two local men get together there usually is some spitting going on. LOL Must be related to some sort of bonding thing or something. Of course that behavior is usually associated with at least one brain cell looking for company.
