: : : : : : : : : : I can still recall old Mr. Barnslow getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to that old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped he'd yell out, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy. But then, we had some growing up to do. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ~~Is this an excerpt from a short story or novel? It's been awhile since I've taken any lit courses, but it rings of a 20th century American author from the South, ..........perhaps Faulkner? : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ~~Actually, my last post is pretty funny now that I know where the quote came from!! : : : : : : : well, i'm curious and would like to know who wrote it! pleazzzzz? : : : : : : It was something Jesse Legassie sent to Tim Ogden, and Tim sent to me. : : : : : : I don't know about you, but it has completely changed my life. :-) : : : : : : : : : : ~~ It was one of the "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey that they used to have on Saturday Night Live. So you can see why the reference to Faulkner I made earlier seemed kinda silly in light of the true source! : : : : thanks! : : : : i think it's changed Vanna's life too... since she's got frog legs... :-P : : : : and don't feel bad Jen, i thought the writing style was familiar too, but i was trying to place it with an african-american author! LOL : : : tee hee hee : : I made a little net fraud above in that I made a post with jesse's email address. he would love it if anyone emailed him. He is talking about coming to visit in the spring. : oh yeah, if it was unclear, (which it most likely was) the post under which contains jesse's email is "glad y'all laughed"
