Why is it that Swamp Witches in the South...

are always named “Betty”? I can hardly remember ever hearing about them referred to as anything other than “Swamp Witch Betty”?

Ed

oh no…HRH is NOT going to be happy…think I will shut off the computer for a few days…

Ed trying to stir the cauldr…er, the pot?

I hate to touch this with a 36.5’ pole, but are you sure it wasn’t “Swap Wench…”?

(now…where’s that “UNDO” button?)

Undo button? We don’t need no steenkeeng undo buttons…

I haven’t stirred the pot all year long, surely I’m over-due for it. Besides, my spurtle is getting dry rot.

Ed

:shock:ALL YEAR???ALL YEAR??? It’s only the 6th day of the year!!!
Man, oh man! If’n my broom weren’t being re strung … you’d be in BIG trouble!!:roll:

Pulling up a chair and sitting in the corner. popcorn is popping…

THIS SHALL BE GOOD FOLKS!!!..So please stay tuned for further development and highlights on this story, they will be right back after this short intermission!! :slight_smile:

You callin my ma a witch?! Let me at those fly flippers ma! I will protect your reputatuion!:wink:

You can’t REALLY expect me to be good ALL week, can you? Sheesh, you must have your crystal ball our being tuned and detailed too. (BTW, beware of those highly-strung brooms and stick with a sturdy, traditional model like a Scottish besom. Ling heather makes for a smoother ride, or so I’m told.)

As for being in big trouble, I’m quite used to that, thank you.
(Why is there a toad hopping around in my cubical?..)

Ed

Hey, there little boy … would you like a shiny, magic apple??

This has been the greatest, funniest post of 2011 and I think it will hold that position all year!!:shock:

Now remember, ED, she has the help of all of her subjects,ah, I mean freinds.!! Did I do that right Your highness??? I been really good…

Becareful EdD. You don’t want to mess with Betty, her boy’s might not like that.:stuck_out_tongue:

Betty,

What! It’s the 6th? Already? No way! Geesh, where did the year go? I haven’t even filed my taxes yet!! ( I usually have by now - if you can believe it!) Enjoy the rest of the year - what’s left of it anyway!

Best regards, Dave S.

I think I’m going to sit out of the line of fire with a cup of hot chocolate and watch this unfold. Good luck gents and as always, Best Regards…

Joel,

Want me to pass ya some mini-marshmallers to go in your hot chocolate? I brought the La-z-boy for this one. Someone pass the popcorn.

Okay…

For this dumb California Boy…

What the heck is a ‘Swamp Witch’???

My parents were both from the south, Alabama and Texas, never heard of such a thing…

Unless the spelling is different…my uncle often spoke about a ‘sum *itch’…is that the same thing?

Buddy

Oh Jeez, Buddy…why did you have to fan the fire???

Buddy, a swamp witch is a witch who lives in a swamp. My childhood was rife with spooky tails of swamp witches.

Joel, I noticed that you posted “good luck gents”. Did you leave out Miss Betty on purpose, or…?

Betty, thanks for the apple. It shore was pretty. Pity that my team leader grabbed it for his lunch.

Why are there TWO toads hopping around in my cubical?

Regards,
Ed
