| Talkin to the tater salad |
|
| |
Well, I was down at the Golden Corral with Kathy the other day when God taught me an important lesson. We had just set down and was gettin ready to go up to the buffet, when I seen something that alarmed me. I grabbed Kathy by the arm and I said "sit back down, it ain't safe up there"
Up by the tater salad, there was a young man standin there. He had spikey hair, tatoos all over his arm and neck, and a shirt that said "Psyco" on the back. That ain't what scared me though... he was talkin to the tater salad! When I say talkin I don't mean like normal. Normally when I see tater salad I say something like "Boy you look good to me" or "Gracious you smell so good I could eatcha" No, this fella was have a conversation. Movin his hands around and everything.
Well, I sat there for a minute and tried to figure out what to do. I was thinkin things like, "well if he pulls outta gun, I'll grab Kathy and duck behind the coke machine" All I knew was I won't gonna be the hero. If things went bad, I was just gonna look out for me and mine. I thought about how my family would feel when they heard the news..BillyRay, kilt at Golden Corral, by a tattoo'd psyco" I could hear momma cryin "All he wanted was some tater salad!"
Then my wife brought me back to reality, she said "BillyRay, there ain't nothin to be scared of, he's just got one of those bluetooth thangs in his ear"
Boy did I feel like a dumby. I was all worked up and that boy was probably just talkin to his parole officer on the phone.
Well, just like always, the good Lord spoke to me through that. He said "BillyRay, you ain't supposed to worry like that. Don't you know I'm lookin out for you all the time!"
He brought this scripture to my mind too: 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: 10:30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 10:31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
So, I just wanted to encourage all of you out there. Don't forget God is with you all the time. He loves you and cares about you more than you could ever comprehend. Don't fear when you enter into a time of uncertainty, just trust God that he has your best interest in mind ALL the time!
God Bless.

Good one Billy Ray. Know what you mean. Happens to me a lot in the deli section at Wal-Mart. I usually say hello or something to them then realize that they are talkin to someone else.
I'm gonna get me one so I can talk while in my truck. Maybe I'll spook someone and they'll move outa my way so I can get home faster. |

| I love Golden Corral, I could sit there and eat those rolls and honey butter all day. We also have another buffet place called Barnhills. I don't think its as good as Golden Corral only for the fact they don't have those rolls or the honey butter, but they have more "Southern" dishes like collard greens and cabbage and fried chicken and okra and stuff on it. |

Kathy - I am pretty sure they use both. The mustard just gives it that yellow color.
Dorcus - We might be related |

| I realize that this blog was started some time ago but I just came across it and had to comment. Truely hillarious!! It kinda reminds me of the story where a gentleman uses the restroom of a large department store. He rushes in to find that only one stall is unoccupied, so he goes in and sits down to do his "business". There is another gentleman in the stall next to him, who says, "Hello?" They engage in a conversation back and forth for a minute or two. The first gentleman finally realizes that the other guy is talking to someone on his cell phone and not to him directly. |
