Gee-Hawd

sorry, just had to use that as a title

i just get a feeling that we(America) are pulling together like pieces of a puzzle - on the side of our government- to remove hussein from power! and its a little 'poke' at that word...see title. they're trying to gather forces against us, we can't let the warped saladin wannabe's cast us as what we are not... and i really brought this whole thing up because we got a hellofa 'coalition of the willing':

"The government has authorized the chief of the Australian Defense Force to place the Australian forces already deployed in the Gulf region as part of any U.S. led coalition operation that may take place in the future," a somber Howard, flanked by two Australian flags, said in a televised address to the nation.

we've got others who see our way, even if it doesn't fall into the 'in' crowd... now if the whole world will work with us, we'll get done with this turd, and all work together on this monumental task . then we can work on trying to put our 'nice' face back on. its now time for the ole "BUTA" BootUpTheAce

I love it (GEE-HAWed). Any of you Southern boys ever make a "Gee-Haw stick" when you were a kid? Heck, I got bored a few months back, and whittled my grandbuddy a GeeHaw stick,and then watched him try to operate it for HOURS!! LOL

Re: Gee-Hawd

ohjees..how to put this one in werds..... A gee-haw stick is a stick you hold in one hand,and rub another stick along it's top edges.It has a "propeller" fastened loosely to the front (away from the operator). The object is to get the propeller to rotate in one direction,by rubbing the stick back and forth and saying "GEE". Still rubbing the stick back and forth along the top ,you say "HAW", and the propeller stops, and starts turning in the oposite direction,as if by magic! Of course, there is a trick to how the stick is rubbed,and it drives younguns batty trying to get it to work.,and you have no difficulty at all! My grandson STILL hasn't figured it out. You will need the following materials. 1 One small twig with a bend in it. The more it looks like a pistol, the better, but even a straight stick will work. Diameter,between 1/4" to 3/4". The "barrel" should be 6-8" long. 2 One striaght stick 1/4" -1/2" diameter, and about 7 inches long. 3 One straight pin. 4 One propeller. This can be whittled outta a piece of wood, or just use half a popsicle stick. 5 One pocket knife, if you can still use one legally where you live.

Re: Gee-Hawd

The pistol stick needs to have ridges carved into the top surface of it's "barrel" . They should look like a bunch of gear teeth when done, and be at least 1/8" deep,and uniform. Uniformity is important. When you are happy with all the little gear teeth, carve a light, wooden prop, and attach it to the front (the "Bore") of the pistol. It must be light and turn very freely. Your done..now git to rubbin and saying "Gee" and "Haw".

My father got me with it when I was around 8 or 10 or so, and it drove me nuts...Probably why I still am to this day.

Re: Gee-Hawd

Nown I know you are some fine fellers, but when ya start playing with sticks, you act as though you got picked up buy ailens too.

Now maw says gee-haw whenc we in bed, and I never knew what she wasa doing all this hollern about till now.

She musta been wantn me to change directions.

Most women in these here parts don't say gee-haw, they just say "Come and get it"

Ol' clem used to go snipe huntn all the time and one night he came back with a whole sak of them things. He come in a hooping and hoolern, "I got some snipes, I got some snipes" and dumped them out there on the dirt in the living room and whooh, did they smell.

Maw didn't care though, she just fetched them up and hollered "suppers on."

Man it just don't get much bettern than what we have.

Re: Gee-Hawd

well, i left this 'sit' for awhile, 'cause i wondered if anyone would mention that "gee" & "haw" were words used to get mules to go left & right... i guess the only way to get the prop to go one way or t'other is to turn it opposite the wind... but ya never know- maybe you can rub that stick in the 'magic' direction to make it go t'other way. i'll definit hafta try it sometime. uh bubba, u kno u gotta snipe wen its thrashin round in the sack(pillowcase). otherwise, you're makin too much noise to getem in close. (i think this is the test for elders to see how patient/afraid of the dark you are) luckily for me, i heard 'em laughing there a$$es off up on the front porch- the wind was just right that night... poor billy, my couz, they hadda go drive down and pick him up. lmao but ole billy was the onliest one of us that could shoot rabbits on the full run with his ole trusty 410fullchoke

Re: Gee-Hawd

ebb I was wondering if anyone else was going to make the mule connection. My Dad also used the gee-haw stick trick...worked better than "sit still and shut up". For those of you who go to the trouble of making one of these to torment your kids...you have to be able to operate it yourself. The trick is all in the placement of the finger underneath and the pressure from that finger. Move the finger in and out to change direction of the propellor. You can make one in a few minutes from a pencil. Cut your notches down one of the ridges on the pencil. Almost any small piece of wood will work for the prop...the hole just needs to be big enough for it to spin freely on the pin. Stick the pin in the eraser and start rubbing. Just remember that it won't reverse direction unless you say gee or haw just right...helps to hold your mouth right too

Re: Gee-Hawd

I don't a no abut yourn snipes, but these weren pretty stinky and had white stripes on them. They sur wer tasty though.

Well I was flustered at thisn point until I realized maw had taken hern teeth out and she was not sayn gee-haw, she was sayn "Get the hog"

Ands all thisn time I thought I wasn duen gud romantically.
