Dallas is the home to corn dogs, which were introduced by Fletchers at the State Fair. Anyone who grew up in Dallas has memories of attending the State Fair as a kid and chomping down on some Fletcher's corn dogs with mustard.

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments I brought Haunted but have yet to read it but I think I might push it ahead of my other "to-read's"

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments I just had a baby 4 months ago I read when she sleeps and of course I read when I am on the train

Charity (charityross) Well, he's almost 4 years old, so I guess he liked it as much as a 4yo can. I think he mostly just likes the sound of me reading...and Steinbeck's language is gorgeous. However, he did say, 'I like Lennie. He's my favorite.' How cute is that?


message 2207: by Donna (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments Why Thank you Jeremy!! Your favorite too??


message 2208: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) I likey me some Canuck beer! :-)


message 2209: by [deleted user] (new)

That's neat. I never thought of reading Steinbeck to the younger ones. I think his writing is so good that I can barely say his language is great because I hardly notice. I get so enthralled with what he is saying and I feel that he understand human nature precisely.

Charity (charityross) Labatt's, Moosehead....mmmm.

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments If I can't get my hands on Amstel then I usually go for Red Stripe!!!


message 2212: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) You are so right, Jeremy. Amazing that he can writes books like that so long ago and they are still relevant today. He really 'gets' human nature.


message 2213: by [deleted user] (new)

Donna, I like it quite a bit, but I am a lover of Sam Adams Boston Lager. I so wish that took a train, but the only train near me is a freight train that lays on the horn at 4:30 in the morning...every morning. But hey, I knew where the tracks were when I bought the house. I just didn't know they would blow the horn 15 times in a row. Scare the deer off my ass.

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments My hubby is a huge Bob Marley fan and I thought it was cute!


message 2219: by [deleted user] (new)

Great name and congrats! You are talking about the great musician I assume?

I wouldn't want to get molested by one person never mind 100. I used to take the T during rush hour, though and I remember the feeling.


message 2220: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) Dylan loves Bob Marley...he starts just bouncing around whenever 'Exodus' comes on. And my 4 year old knows all the words to 'Three Little Birds'.


message 2224: by Donna (last edited Aug 06, 2008 10:52AM) (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments It's funny we wanted to name out next daughter Dylan


message 2225: by [deleted user] (new)

Just making sure. There is a great comedian from Maine name Bob Marley! If he came on while my 5 year old was in the truck, she would say, "That's a boy song. I want to hear a girl song."


message 2226: by Donna (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments That's so cute. I can't even imagine the day Marley starts to talk


message 2227: by [deleted user] (new)

I too start bouncing whenever Exodus comes on.

message 2229: by [deleted user] (new)

I didn't have Bob Marley in my life til I was a freshman in college. I heard LEGEND at a party and went out the next day and bought it.


message 2230: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm not a big proponent of greatest hits albums, but LEGEND is phenomenal.



message 2231: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) My husband's uncle calls Dylan "Zimmie" after Bob Dylan's real last name, Zimmerman.


message 2232: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 2389 comments Is his middle name Robert? Dylan Robert Zimmie.

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments My favorite singer is Maynard from Tool but I don't like that much


message 2241: by [deleted user] (new)

All I can say...is that I like both of those bands.


message 2242: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia (pandoraphoebesmom) | 1826 comments I don't have kids yet but I also want to name my first daughter Marleigh (spelled that way because my dad's name is Mark and my mom's middle name is Leigh...so I kinda put them together minus the k) Eyren (after Jane Eyre/my best friend Erin).


message 2243: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) Well, you could alway go with Schism. ;-) Yeah, I think that's worse than Maynard.


message 2244: by Donna (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments I can tell you have a large selection of music!! I do too.


message 2245: by Donna (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments Why don't we go all out and name her Sober!!!!


message 2246: by Charity (last edited Aug 06, 2008 11:30AM) (new)

Charity (charityross) I had tried to push for Harper because 'our song' is a Ben Harper song, but my husband didn't go for it. My husband's middle name is Neil after Neil Young. His sister is named Sarah, after the Bob Dylan song...she danced with her dad at her wedding to that song.


message 2247: by Charity (new)

Charity (charityross) The name Sober is begging to produce a drunk. :-)


message 2248: by [deleted user] (new)

Lots and lots of '90s alternative rock which was quite an umbrella. Much more mellow since then. Within the course of an hour I can be heard listening to Breakin' Benjamin, Pearl Jam, Matchbox Twenty, Bare Naked Ladies, Montgomery Gentry, Collective Soul, Counting Crows, Three Days Grace, Billy Joel, Elton John......
