Hello, Butts County - January 25, 2006

“I truly hope for the sake of all free people that the light shines on the shadow.”



“Give me some of them old toenail clippin’s.”



“I think oompa oompa just needs a little loompa loompa.”



“Remember, what goes around, comes around.”



“This is for all the people that does crystal meth. All your speeding up brings is your death.”



“Oompa oompa has a big mouth. Some people may say he’s an adult mouse.”



“I think gambling should be voted on by the people. Let us vote on whether or not we should legalize gambling.”



“On Monday morning around eight or nine a.m. there was a big explosion heard around Reeves area. Soon after there was a bunch of sirens coming from the Stark fire station. Does anybody know what the big explosion was? Did anybody else hear it?”



“What’s up with the Jackson police pulling people over for tinted windows?”



“I’m surprised these country boys even have belts. Be sure to wear them with your shirts tucked in. This is 2006. You’re going back in time, instead of going forward. They used to tell you to stay home if you’re sick. I guess now we send them and let them infect the whole school.”



“Something needs to be done about the speeding on Biles Road before someone gets killed.”



“This is for all the men. If you have a girlfriend, fiancé or wife, and you tell them ‘if you leave me I will hurt you or your family’ you don’t care or love them. You’re just being a modern day slave owner. If they want out, a real man will say OK and have a peaceful break up. A real man will not do anything to harm them, their family, or the person they want to be with. A real man will not say anything to no one, or have anything done.”



“Hello, Butts County. While all the law enforcement agencies are out there duking it out over who’s in charge or whatever, how ‘bout one of them getting out here to 36 out by the truck stops and the interstate and patrolling those traffic lights there where everybody’s running through the red lights before one of us gets killed? Hello, Butts County.”



“Hello, Butts County. If Governor Perdue has friends in Butts County, would you please ask him what he plans to do for the other state employees? He has everything cool for the teachers. We would just like to know about the other state employees. Please let us know in the newspaper.”



“Hello, Butts County. I’m a concerned resident of the new walking signs in downtown Jackson. You push the button, it gives you a walking sign. You get maybe three steps in the middle of the road, and it changes back to stop. Why is that? We need to have it changed. It’s not safe. Thank you, and have a blessed day.”



“I buy scratch-offs and play the lottery, but I also love to play the slots, poker and roulette. I would love to be able to play here in Georgia. If our lawmakers would take a trip to Cherokee or Tunica, Mississippi, they would see more Georgia tags there than from anywhere else. Think of all the revenue they are losing, They are just so dumb.”



“Please return Troy’s electric guitar and amp.”



“Hello, Butts County. This is the Shadow. Last week or so, there was a man named Elijah Carroll on the editorial page, and I just wanted to call up and say thank you, sir. And God bless you, and I hope your injuries heal very fast. God bless your parents and your family. I also want to say thank you to the Georgia 48th. We hope you all come home soon. You’re doing a great job, so please keep it up. This is the Shadow.”



“Hello, Jackson. Please tell me what they’re going to put on 16 and 36.”



“Save the chickens and eat roast beef.”
