Thanks Bill but I really had no part in it. But in my fantasies I can singlehandedly wipe out crazied druggies who storm my house to steal my bottle of aspirin or take out my machine gun and more mowing down of a small army of invading ISIS savages , all singlehandedly of course. But then I look out and it's pretty peaceful here.

I went to CVS to look for some "Prickty Ash Bitters" I wanted to try some, but they didn't have any. Maybe because I'm in New Hampshire, I don't know. Does anyone know where I can get some

[Bruce Day]

Steve, not knowing anything about that as well as many other matters, I looked it up.

It was a liver , kidneys and other internal organ medication to flush out impurities. So after a night in the cut and shoot bars on Front Street, after you sobered up you drank these bitters. Probably no use for it today.

Kerfuffle. One l.

Big Wonder. Is it "Kerfluffle" or "Kerfuffle

[Fishtail]

I'm all for using antiquated terminology. But part of the burden that comes with such is using it properly - both context and spelling - so as to preserve its integrity.


ker·fuf·fle
kərˈfəfəl/
noun: British informal
noun: kerfuffle; plural noun: kerfuffles

a commotion or fuss, especially one caused by conflicting views.
"there was a kerfuffle over the chairmanship"

[Richard Dow]

Bruce: As you know my dad was born in Bug Scuffle Texas but no way one of my relatives could have drank so much let alone patronize a bawdy house.

[Bruce Day]

Thank God I spelled Bug Scuffle correctly!

But "Kerfuffle " , see for example Parker Shotgun Forum.

Didn't we have a Kerfuffle last October about wanting to stop at the place that advertised body waxes in Glendive, Montana ?

I came in for a lot of ribbing several years ago while on a Phez hunt in South Central SD. Seems there is a very small town named Dallas, SD which, for some reason at that time of the year is populated with a bunch of young things with a proclivity for removing their garments. Can't imagine why. It was cold out there.

Been there John. They bring those beauties in from Chicago for the pheasant hunters. Beauties is a stretch of the imagination.
