Trish Jackson coded message: The Indian has left the tree stump

Re: Don't even THINK of stealing the ACHS (Missing) Totem Pole!

Trish Jackson writes:
Hey Ed...also heard 'through the grapevine' that the totem pole is located somewhere real close to my old stomping grounds...so the pic with the dogs located near Russell Creek would be extremely close to target area...I have some agents working for me too... :) Secret password...'The Indian has left the tree stump'... -Trish Jackson
Dangdurnit!, Secret Agent Jackson. You are a jewel and a credit to Columbia, but you've almost blown our cover. Now everybody will know that the treasure is located down on Russell Creek, among the tropical banana groves, somewhere near the humble dwelling of Ricky and Mitzi Bault. Please don't breath another word to anyone else, however. We want the Breaking News to be a Big Story, the way Another Dawn!!!!!! is on the Tv. More slips like this and we'll have to talk in the open! -EW

Robert H. Stone: Mom was Miracle Whip person

America: Miracle Whip, Mayonnaise, and White Bread like our Founding Fathers meant the United States of America to be. It brings back memories of the Good Ole Days, back when when Roy Rogers was on Tv, when Jesus was in the classroom, when we pledged allegiance at every gathering, and we kicked ass overseas (as He would have wanted us to do?) - EW

Robert Stone writes
Ed, my mother was a Miracle Whip person and we never had mayonnaise in the house.

Nice touch, rhyming "Helen Trent" with "but they meant." - Robert Stone, Lebanon, TNThanks, Mr. Stone: Congratulations on being from Authentic Stock. More than anything, the choice of sandwich spreads divided the hoitie-toities from the rest of us plain folks. When one spoke to a person who stressed the word "mayonnaise," and scowled condescendingly at "Miracle Whip," you knew you were being dismissed by your self-appointed betters. It also speaks of a time when you not only knew everybody's name, but where they stood. You were Shivolay or Ford. Western Flyer or Schwinn. RCA or General Electric. Democrat or Republican. Baptist or One of the Others. A Drinker or a Teetotallarian. As with our milk, nothing was homogenized in those days, for plain folks. Thanks! -EW
