the black knight

Obama and his wife were flying on a plane with Oprah Winfrey. As they were flying, Obama pulled a one thousand dollar bill out of his pocket and tossed it out the window. He then looked at Oprah and said, "There I just made someone happy."

A few minutes later, Oprah gets 10 one hundred dollar bills out from her purse and tosses them out the window. She then looks at Obama and says, "Well, I just made ten people happy."

Michelle Obama, not wanting to be left out, reaches into her pocketbook and pulls a 100 one hundred dollar bills out. She then tosses the money out the window. She looks over at Obama and Oprah and says, "I just made 100 people happy."

The pilot, hearing the conversation that was going on turns and tells his co-pilot, "I could throw all three of them out of this plane, and it would make about 50 million people happy!!"

The pilot gets my vote...

This past Sunday, my wife and I headed to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for our 3 year wedding anniversary. As we got into Gatlinburg, we had to go to Fontaine Cabin Rentals to get directions to the cabin that I had rented from Sunday until Wednesday. After getting the directions and autographing a few papers, we headed to the cabin. When we turned off of Hwy. 441 to get on the road the cabin was on, that is when the roller coaster ride began. The road had steep hills and winding curves. Driving up the road that the cabin was on, we actually felt like we were in the front seat of a roller coaster. Some of the hills on the road were when ya got to the top of the hill, ya started coming right back down. We finally got to the cabin and unloaded the SUV, and we decided to go sight-seeing. The weather was perfect Sunday evening and Sunday night.

After a few hours of walking the strip, we decided to ride the roller coaster back to the cabin. When we woke up on Monday morning, we rode into Pigeon Forge. As we hit a few shops there, my wife remembered me telling her about The Lost Sea in Sweetwater, Tennessee. For those that have not heard about the Lost Sea, it is a underground cave that has a lake at the bottom of the cave. The lake is about the size of 3 football fields. So, we leave Pigeon Forge and head to Sweetwater. After we did the tour at The Lost Sea, we decided to go and get something to eat. We stopped at a BBQ restuarant that I passed several times when I was driving a truck. After eating, we decided to head back towards the cabin. Instead of going up Interstate 75 and hitting rush hour traffic in Knoxville, we decided to go through the country. On the way back to the cabin, we decided to stop at the grocery store and get a few groceries since they were calling for snow.

As we came out of the grocery store, it started drizzling. By the time we got to the cabin, it was snowing good, (even though it wasn't really sticking!!) We finally decided to go lay down. I was watching football and my wife was reading, and we kept hearing something knocking and thumping on the front porch. Finally, I got up and went and turned the porch light on. As I pulled the blinds away from the door, I saw a FULL GROWN BLACK BEAR walking off the porch. I told my wife to come to the door and look at it. By the time she got to the door, he was leaving the driveway and walking down the road. I told my wife that she could forget her idea: she wanted to walk around the area and take pics of the cabins!!!

On Tuesday, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. By Tuesday, it was down right cold, so we stayed at the cabin most of the day.

Then coming home yesterday, we got the call that my uncle passed away on Tuesday night. Other than getting that phone call yesterday, our delayed honeymoon was truly remarkable.

I was just browsing through the blogs trying to catch up on what I have been missing on here, and I ran across one certain blog that caught my attention. I clicked on it, and started reading the writer's profile. The profile told about her sisters, (1 a rising senior at Thomasville, and the other 1, a rising sophomore at North Davidson.) As I was reading this, I am thinking that my youngest daughter loves soccer, will be going to East Davidson in a few years, etc. (just like her profile said).Well, she was sitting in the chair watching tv, and I started reading the profile out loud. She jumped up and ran over to the computer and tried to stop me from reading the rest of it. Sure enough, my youngest daughter is now a blogger on here, just like her dad!!

She is a big Duke fan, and I am a big CAROLINA fan. Can't wait until college basketball starts back. We will see if she can take the heat on here then!!

A redneck family from the hills were visiting the city and were in a mall for the first time in their lives. The father and son were strolling around while the mother shopped. The father and son came across two shiny walls that could move apart and slide back together again. The boy asked; "Paw, what's that?" The father, (never having seen an elevator), responded; "Son, I dunno. I ain't never seen nuttin' like that in my life. I ain't got no idea'r what it is."

While the boy and his dad were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheelchair rolled up  to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the old lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular number above the wall light up. They continued to watch it until it reached the last number. Then the numbers began to light up in reverse order. Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24 year old blonde woman stepped out.

The father, never taking his eyes off the woman, tells his son; "BOY...GO GIT CHA MOMMA!!!"

                         GIT-R-DONE

"Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?"

"Yes it is. How may I help you?"

"My neighbor, Virgil Smith.... he got marijuana inside his firewood. Don't know how he gets the marijuana inside dem logs, but he shore do hide it in dem logs."

"Thank you very much for the call. We will look into it"

The next day, several deputies pull up at Virgil's mobile home. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust every single piece of firewood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and then leave. Shortly the phone rings at Virgil's house.

"Hey Virgil.... this is Bubba... Did the Sheriff come?"

"Shore did!"

"Did they chop yer firewood?"

"Yep... Shore did."

"Merry Christmas, buddy!!!"

         THAT IS HOW REDNECKS GIT-R-DONE!!

A husband and wife had been fussing and fighting all day long. Finally, after supper, the husband walked into the living room and took the marriage license down off the wall. He went back into the kitchen and sat down at the table. After his wife finished loading the dishwasher, she came and sat down at the table. They started fussing once again. Finally, the wife noticed that the husband was looking at their marriage license. She asked, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?" He didn't answer. Once again, she asked: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?" He looked over at her and responded: "I SEE THE ISSUE DATE ON THIS MARRIAGE LICENSE, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE EXPIRATION DATE!!!"

JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE OR SO TO WISH EACH AND EVERY PERSON ON THIS WEBSITE A VERY

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Tonight, my wife and I met my cousin and his wife for supper. It was the first time that my cousin and I have seen each other in a few years. He makes wrestling belts and belts for the International Fight League. He brought several of the belts that he has made to the restaurant with them. Since it was dark, and I could not really see them, we took 3 of the belts out of the trunk of his car and went inside with them draped across our shoulders. We asked for a table in the back of the restaurant to where we would not be a distraction to the other customers. We laid all 3 belts across the table next to our booth. The next thing we knew, several of the waitress's came back there to take a look at them. They were really amazed in the designs of each belt.

After we had a nice meal, and caught up "on the good ol' days" of making wrestling belts out of cardboard when we were kids, etc., we decided to leave. As we were walking towards the register, several customers stopped us to take a look at the belts!

The belts that he makes are not only for wrestling or the IFL. He has done a belt for Enterprise Car Rental for their employee of the year. He has also done belts for several different companies.

One of my favorite belts that he has done was for his dad on his birthday. It had my uncle's name and birthdate on it along with his and my aunt's wedding date and the names of my cousins with their birthdates on it. To view this belt or any other belt he has done, you can go to his website. It is www.topropebelts.com

The Dispatch, (Lexington's newspaper), done an article on him a few weeks ago. He told me that he was supposed to have been on Roy's Folks last week, but he had to change it until this week. I think he said that it would be on Thursday.

Once you go to his website, just click on gallery in the upper left hand side to view the belts. It is really worth checking out. Once again, www.topropebelts.com
