Macaroni

Dear Dietrich,

I have a very pressing question. In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"? Thank you for providing us with this service.

Affectionately yours,

Neither.The town itself was what he called Macaroni.It is in the state of North Carolina just southeast of Stumpy Point,not far from the Great Dismal Swamp.They don`t call this state "Variety Vacationland" for nothing.

I beg to differ,madam.True,at one time there was nothing in Atlantic [aka.Dietrichville ] but now I am here.The women want me,the men are jealous of me and the fish fear me. Not to mention the ducks.I will admit it is a bit remote.We are so far back in the sticks that the radios still play WW II broadcasts.I was born and lived in Raleigh until we moved here last August.Either place still beats Charlotte in my book.

Deitrich, as jlottmc (the hubby) said, the women out there have A tooth, yes, there is fishing, the mosquitos will carry you to their home for lunch and it isn't just a bit remote but a LOT remote. It's at the end of the freaking ISLAND for god's sake. You can HAVE Atlantic, NC any day. I love the beach down there all day long. It's my second home and I like peace and quiet just like any country girl, BUT Atlantic is just a bit much and BORING for me. Give me Charlotte or Raleigh over Atlantic any day. Atlantic, NC is NOT our favorite friend.

Thank you kind sir

Thank you kind sir. Helpful, informative - and correct, as always. Another question.

I will be the father of the bride in an upcoming wedding later this summer. She's precious and definitely daddy's girl. I will be dressed in beyond my Sunday best and perhaps will even be sporting Swedish and Canadian flags embroidered on my cumbersome....er, I mean cumberbund. Now to the important matters. As the father of the bride, and paying for this whole wedding out of my gun fund, how many guns am I allowed to have on my person for the actual wedding ceremony? And would it ever be appropriate for me to go open carry for any portion of the festivities?

Thanks a million!

P.S. Also, would it be inappropriate to invite my five gun-forum wives to the wedding? And do I necessarily have to invite my nephew who constantly seems to "borrow" and never return my firearms from my mancave?

One of the young men who was working on our new house remarked that he was from the country but this place was waayy beyond country.I loved it.That`s the beauty of this place.It`s so far gone the dingbatters don`t like to come here. At least for the time being.There`s just the water,the islands,me in my boat and the sea creatures. What I miss about Raleigh is being able to access restaurants and stores in just a few minutes but I`d rather buy everything out of a Sears catalog before I`d live in Charlotte.When they decide this state needs an enema,Charlotte is where they put the nozzle.Oh,just one more insignificant detail.Atlantic is at the end of the mainland,not at the end of an island.

You are in luck my friend as I am quite the expert in these matters.Good manners and decorum dictate your firearm wardrobe to be simple,yet tasteful.A plain,open carry side by side twelve gauge is all the rage at these affairs.Nothing says she`s Daddy`s Little Girl like that double barrel shotgun does.As for it being appropriate to invite your cyber wives the answer is a resounding YES!!You`ll need womenfolk to clean up the mess after it`s all over.In regards to your nephew,arrange an "accident".

Sounds like my kind of place. I don't cotton to dingbatters much and like being alone. Got room for one more. I'll build my shanty as far from everybody as I can.

There`s a really nice piece of land across the street from me.About an acre and a half I reckon.Already got a well and septic tank on it so no problems there.The house that was there years ago was struck by lightning and burned down so you don`t have to worry about that potential problem as we all know lightning don`t strike twice in the same place.Can`t say the same thing about storms though.

You don't know me and my penchant for shattering records. Especially bad things. Probably strike me crossing the street to borrow a cup of powder. Not pretty.
Would be cool to be your neighbor though. We do seem to share similar thoughts, yours intelligent and twisted, mine simple and well simple.

You made my day Dear Deitrich. I have a lovely nickel plated side by side with an English stock I made. It's just aching for a chance to go to a party.
Might get me a nice scabbard to mount on my chair.

Dear Deitrich,

I know this fella who shall remain nameless but it sounds a lot like one of them midget fellas that rides on race horses cept instead of an "e" on the end it's an "O". (too much information)?

Anyhow it can't go without notice that he's obviously got issues (addiction to chocolate shakes, straddling a vibrating high cubic inch machine ALOT, little girls, illegal aliens to name a few) that require the services of an expert such as yourself.

Do you think theres any way to pry open the closet door so he can share and admit his issues, obviously the first step in casting the demons aside and getting on with a more healthy and mentally stable life?

I know that he would consider me one of the very demons I refer too and only hope that you can convince him that I'm only trying to help. It's only out of love (not any kind of mano mano love ya know?) and admiration that I bring up this topic.

Thanks for your consideration.

Nameless.

PS- if I wake up with a horsehead in bed next to me or a fish in the mail I'll know that you blew my identity and will have to seek asylum in Utah.

Dear Nameless.I know who you are and this last post,along with countless others.glosses over the underlying message you try unsuccessfully to avoid.It is quite obvious that you are,indeed,interested in mano on mano love with this man.Shake yourself free of the chains that society has bound you with and pursue this guy like the frustrated debutante you so desperately want to be.Kick up your heels,raise those petticoats and ride him like a rented mule.You go girl!!!

Hypothetically speaking. Thank you very much hypothetically. I hope my nephew don't read this area.

Sincerely

Still in the closet but the door is open and I'm peaking out the crack.

Yeah,there`s something about the line "Peeking out the crack" that is a little unnerving to me. Eewww.
