Kentucky. Up until about 5-10 years ago you could marry your first cousin in Ky. Pat Murphy had ancestors from there which explains a lot.

BTW, how was Pat's memorial service, JTA? Did they throw his ashes in one of the porta-jon's at Smith Mt. Lake as planned?

I've often meant to compliment you on your fine steed, Skip. I had one like it when I was a small boy. Mine was either a Texaco pony or a Hopalong Cassidy version? Both had springs that left scars on your legs.

BTW, my Mom and my sister were "Scrabble" fanatics. If you say "Mxyzptlk" is word, I believe you. It's sort of the Scrabble version of a father steering his child away from gambling by telling him he'll one day meet a guy with an unopened deck of cards who offers to bet him that the Jack of Hearts will jump out of the deck and piss in his ear. When that bet comes run fast and far because as sure as you're standing there, that Jack is going jump out of that deck and you're going to have wet ear.

Thanks Pigmeat! I believe that fine steed was purchased at a local hardware store that also sold anything they could make a buck on....picture is circa 1957 and that buck 'em bronco was also used by my older and younger brother. Yes, I got my hands caught in the springs one time and it was a very unpleasant sensory experience! I don't know when that worn out horse was sent to the glue factory, but it provided me with many hours of riding off into the sunset with the cry of Shane echoing in the distance....  ;)

As to mxyzptlk.......I'm surprised nobody caught onto that one! Here's the link to yet another facet of my younger days:
