Alright, this has been bugging me for years, so I am just going to come out and ask: What the HELL is the origin of "fixin' ta", as in "I'm a fixin' ta boil me up some taters? I don't mean to insult anybody's heritage here, but Jesus Christ how does something like that manage to slither it's way into the vernacular of roughly 20% of this country? Do you know how hard it is to walk somebody through a software upgrade over the phone when you are constantly deluged with such nuggets as "I'm fixin ta reboot as soon as i find me that Control - Alternator - Delete button."?

On a lighter note, I have spent the last few days immersed in Bon Scott Era AC/DC, most notably 1977's "Let There Be Rock". Is there a riff out there better than "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be"?
If you think you have one, let me know so I can tell ya you're WRONG!!!!!

Please forgive the attitude, I tend to get a little cranky around my birthday.

yeah I have it. I have been alternating between it , the San Quentin one and old Marty Robbins. But it is gonna take awhile.

The fixin thing is bad enough but how about when it devolves down to the ven more reprehensible "finin ta". puke Used the same way just further down on the evolutionary ladder.

Bon Scott AC/DC rules. Nice vice. I love that quote.

Those in the know know that the riff from if you want blood is THE riff my friend. its hard for me to listne to that song without punching a hole in the wall. "Rocker" is a close second. I think i actually like Rocker better, but the if you want blood riff is the fuckin tops

Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got fancy boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive

You got me stumped. Which one is that from?
Ive been diggin on "Rocks Off" lately.
ill definately have to steal that blender magazine from a bookstore sometime in the near future.

I never really dug Campbell Scott, and I guess i never really didn't dig him either, but I did always want to see Rodger Dodger....he befriends his wisdom of snatch on some kid right?

Imposters is a cool movie, i can't really explain it, but Buscemi plays a lounge singer named Happy, who cannot stop trying to kill himself...nice.

Never seen Blow. I have a hard time getting into movies that are real popular like that.
Im broke as a joke so no more beer for me untill i get my shit together and get employed. frown

Shit always gets fucked up for me when i actually start caring. I just need to adjust to that fact.
