Ever "pinch a nickle till the buffalo shits?" I wonder who are old enough to know what that means?

[Lil Missy]

Speaking of being old, I have to dye my roots now. So may needs some breaks before I can respond.

1. I only know because I asked my mom what it meant

:hide:

[Lil Missy]

5. That's okay. You were young, and up to mischief.

Like stealing pigs! :rofl:

[mcctatas]

6. !

*makes mental not not to mess with Lil Missy again*

:rofl:

[Lil Missy]

8. LOL! I was into my own mischief. I'm very forgiving

Want to go snipe hunting? :D

[LeftinOH]

2. Not only do I understand it, I'm going to fetch something out of the icebox and sit on the davenport

while I reminisce...

[Lil Missy]

7. Don't forget to water the furnace while you're at it.

3. I used to have a lot of Buffalo nickels in my coin collection

Unfortunately my house got burglarized and the coin collection was stolen.

[Lil Missy]

9. Well, THAT sucks!

I have not had my Taco fix for a few weeks. I'm making some home made now.

I slept for a day and a half, and now starving! I'll make a couple extra for you.

:) :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Thank you!

[Lil Missy]

4. Oops! Wrong place.

[mitchum]

10. Or "pinch a penny so hard that Abe begs for the sweet release of Booth's bullet"

I just made that one up

[Lil Missy]

12. Nope. Never heard that one.

[Midlodemocrat]

11. I know what it means. And, I have a friend about whom that is a very apt

description. :rofl:

[Lil Missy]

14. I had a male friend once, who was so damned tight he would only, uhm,

do some certain bodily functions at work, to save on buying TP.

:eyes:

Now I was never THAT tight!

[madinmaryland]

16. Why do that on your own time, when you can get paid for it!!

[WCGreen]

13. My Grandpa use to say that...

He was a dentist in a mining town in PA before during and after the Depression

[sniffa]

17. I pinch pennies so hard I make Abraham Lincoln scream

[Lil Missy]

19. Me too!

:hi:

[trof]

18. Anybody know "Today the eagle shits"?

Payday for folks in the military.
Usually monthly.

[sarge43]

20. Also known as Mother's Day

"Pay this mother and that mother."

[trof]

22. Never heard that one.

I was just thinking.
When I was a second balloon in pilot training in '63 I made $350 a month.
I couldn't spend it all.
Nickel beer night and free snacks in the 'O' club helped.
;-)

[sarge43]

23. My first month's paycheck after basic was $93 and change

but a pack of cigs was ten cents.

A long time ago in that far off galaxy.

[trof]

25. And a gallon of gas was about...35 cents?

See you're in NH.
I lived in Merrimack '78-'93.
:hi:

[sarge43]

27. About 35.

We live about 10 miles north of Plymouth, one of those blink and you miss it burgs.

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. I am not that old, but I can certainly guess

[musette_sf]

26. the way i heard it was

"he's so tight, he makes the Indian ride the buffalo"
