[underpants]

CAPTION away

[SCDem]

1. Thank you for that laugh!

Where is his banjo hiding? (Not that he would have the skill to play it!)

[BOSSHOG]

2. What happened to that purty mouth?

[Fenris]

3. Deedle Dee Dee Dee De Dee Dee Dum!

[Search Party]

4. "Somebody said a funny"

[villager]

5. "Goddamn...

...you play a mean banjo."

[catmandu57]

6. Just goes to show that America is the land of opportunity

where else in the world could an escaped mental patient go on to become president?

[meegbear]

7. Does this mean Larry Mondelo is Dick Cheney?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

8. "Who playin' banjo here?"...eom

[Fridays Child]

9. I believe that he has opened a few too many beer bottles with his teeth.

eom

[Blue-Jay]

10. HAHAHAHAHA!

Man, I thought you *really* found out about that kid. Now everyone at work is looking at me for laughing so hard.

[dixiechiken]

11. ROFLMFAO!!! I can't stop laughing!!!

underpants - You just made my day! :D Thanks ... I needed that!

[bushisanidiot]

12. Looks Like Pappy Must've Kicked AWOL in the teeth when he was young

maybe that's why he doesn't show his teeth when he smirks. Could also explain his utter stupidity..

[underpants]

13. What a great summary of W in pictures

The saluting with the dog is a classic. There was a new DUer on a thread in GD who swore the picture of W dropping Barney was a fake (Bush v. Kerry pictures thread) saying that there is no way W would carry the dog around. That is too funny.

Dave McBrady-banjo: child star from the movie "Deliverance." One of the original Sno members and honorary SNO FLAKE


(is there anything in the world better than Google?)

[Beaker]

15. but then again...

"that g.w. sure does have a purty mouth..."

[dixiechiken]

16. That guy is WAAAAAYYYYY too good lookin' to be the same person!

I couldn't believe that was him and as it turns out, that guy must've been a different kid, cuz he's not the banjo kid!

Here's the banjo kid:


Billy Redden, co-owner of the Cookie Jar Cafe south of Clayton in Rabun County, took a break from his kitchen duties to perform in the movie "Big Fish," directed by Tim Burton, which opens in Atlanta on Christmas Day.




Billy Redden doesn't play the banjo; he got the picker's part in "Deliverance" as a 15-year-old on the strength of his looks.

sno cones,
Aripeka awaits the Sno Show this Saturday evening at the community center. Start time is 7:00. Dave has promised to learn the words to his new songs that he is supposed to sing this weekend. Wish him luck. He is still upset about finding out he is really not the inbred kid on the porch playing banjo in Deliverance. I know I should have told him sooner but I just didn't think he was ready yet...

sno cones, Thanks to Harry Schwab for this little known sno fact:
This is a bio of the banjo boy in the movie Deliverance.


The Nov. 17, 2003 issue of the "New Yorker" magazine has information on the actual banjo boy (Page 64, in "Talk of the Town," "The Pictures, The Return of the Banjo Boy").

His name is Billy Redden. He was chosen from a local elementary school. He couldn't play the banjo very well and had another boy do the left hand work for him. Although he was given the banjo, his mother had to sell it to pay the bills. He now is 47, and works as a cook and dishwasher.

However, he will be appearing in another film, "Big Fish," which is to be released next month. He is only on the screen for a few seconds -- sitting on a porch and holding a banjo.

22. Are most of those Dan Quayle quotes?

[underpants]

23. I can see that it is a budget it has lots of numbers

No I think those are all W.

"there should be limits to freedom"

[cosmicdot]

27. I googled "guffaw" ... and, on the first page of results ...

http://tomclegg.net/gwbush2

what a legacy

[BringEmOn]

28. Checked Snopes

http://www.snopes.com/quotes/quayle.htm

Half way down the page, they list Dan Quayle's quotes. Looks like the same quotes you listed. The repukes did this to Al Gore in 2000...used Dan Quayle quotes and attributed them to Gore...just changed the dates. I wouldn't want Dems to lose credibility by doing the same, when there are hundreds, if not thousands of direct quotes from Bush to use. B-)

[Nay]

24. Good one, Underpants. I just spit Cheerios all over my desk!

[Demonaut]

25. where's his banjo?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

29. Trust me. You don't wanna know.

[TEXASYANKEE]

26. I read somewhere ...

That he has bad teeth, and that's why he doesn't like to show his teeth when he smiles. My question: he is a multigazillionaire, why doesn't he have his teeth problem corrected??

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. He's too stupid and lazy to know he can actually do that.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

31. Look ma'. I can walk and talk at the same time without... faaaaliiing.....

[lucidmadman]

32. Nah...like IMUS says Joe Scarborough is the 'banjo boy'...

...this guy in the photo is the unfortunate outcome of a mating of the 'Quaker Oats' guy and Queen Elizabeth II...
Or something too twisted for me to think of at the moment.

[underpants]

33. That's funny Scarborough does have the same eyes

Ha!
