So...

[T-Bone _]

I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

...I have a story about this nickel...

[Saint Therese]

Dude I'm just saying this as your friend. You might want to get out more.

[T-Bone _]

Just what lead you to that delusion?

[Saint Therese]

You made a whole thread about Grampa Simpson.

[T-Bone _]

Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

[Saint Therese]

Have you thought of getting a hobby? You can find a lot of things on the interenet nowadays.

[T-Bone _]

Bart: "Didn't you wonder why you were getting checks for doing
absolutely nothing?"

Grampa: "I figured because the democrats were in power again."

[Saint Therese]

Pop tarts.

ST, seriously, does the cat need ointment?

[T-Bone _]

I leave these: a box of mint-condition 1918 liberty-head silver dollars. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J. D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run of the house with a big washtub and, where are you going?

[T-Bone _]

Anyway, about my washtub. I just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking bird. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, and yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball.

You shouldn't be looking.

True.

But, it's too late for that.

[T-Bone _]

Well, you're really asking two questions there. The first one takes me back to 1934. Admiral Byrd had just reached the pole, only hours ahead of the Three Stooges ... and I guess he won the argument, but I walked away with the turnips. The following morning, I resigned my commission in the Coast Guard. The next thing I heard, there was civil war in Spain ... and, that's everything that happened in my life right up to the time I got this phone call.

I think a little micotracin might be useful.

I feel bad for Grandpa sometimes. I think he is the only character I've ever pitied.
