Surprisingly, this time not for Prozac use rates, redneck fires, or witchhunts.

And here I'd've figured "appleknocker" to be a size reference.

Me, I'm all about the grapefruit and cantaloupes. Mmm.

And the glasses, and the tight sweaters, and the long flowing hair. I wonder if there's anything I'm *not* all about?

Subtlety? :)

I thought it was weird no one knew the term "orchardist" as a valid career name when I moved out of Wenatchee.

Yeah, I ran into that too. I had one yahoo try and tell me that the proper term was 'orcharder', because a herder has a herd, and a farmer has a farm.

That he was from Utah, where there isn't an orchard in sight, didn't help his case.

That's why we use Google and not Yahoo!.

When I saw the subject line, I thought it was about indians (feather not the dot) and was gonna mention the WeeNee tribe here in SC. But since it wasn't, you just spoiled my whole entire joke (which pretty much just consisted of the fact that there was a tribe of indians called the Weenees. (Doesn't matter, I hear they were a bunch of dicks anyway) So I won't even mention the Weenees, at all.
