A bend runs through it… kinda
I'm writing to bring to your attention a discrepancy that appeared in Monday's City Paper article entitled "Did Elitism Doom the Fairgrounds?" [Nov. 2]
In said article Mr. Larry Woody writes, "It’s true the Ryman Auditorium remains, but the Opry’s fans got shuffled across the Cumberland River..."
Mr. Woody might be made aware that the current location of the Grand Ole Opry is on the same side of the Cumberland as the Ryman Auditorium, as well as every other location the Opry has ever called home.

Good morning.
What is the point of the geography lesson? If the writer has a point he should make it.
Now the word for today is armadillo.
For some reason I can not hit recycle and refresh this page. It sends me to log in and when I do it then tells me that I can't. Each time I wish to see if anything new as been posted I have to go off line and start over.
It work this time.
Maybe It's getting like the Tennessean on line - just works occasionally .
Waht a wasted space for the LTE. But, maybe it's a blessing, after the past two days of "comments".
This board wouldn't pass the smell test if TCP had stricter regulations, like IQ.
I'm over at "Out & About" if anyone wants to talk.
We need a real topic.
d7, you fabulous b*tch...I had no idea.
Armadillo
d'pain: Come on now, you had a hunch!
Oh, speaking of IQ, "Nemo" is now in charge of the "Word for the Day"? Perfect.
I say we ALL give D7 what he wants and stay off the board today. Let him talk to himself all day long. Are ya'll with me?
I'll be over at the "Teen Beat" website...talking to Tony Zizza.
Fund-O: You remind me of a squirrel trying to gather nuts.
One day you're "friendly", the next you back stab. Shallow, cheap, transparent.
You're the type who would shoot your own partner, whether in the police, miliatary, or hunting.
Good morning, Nashville!
The LTE is short, if not sweet. David Schaffer corrected Larry Woody's error. I'm no expert on Nashville's physical layout, so I can't comment on the issue.
Is D7 claiming to be a high-IQ female now? I must have missed his/her coming out party, House.
I love this group of newspaper forum dawgs because we have a lot of diversity within our relatively small group. The NCP format is easy to use and is about as uncensored as you'll ever find online, these days. The group is neither too large, nor too small. I'm staying right here.
dargent7 turns on the charm so early. olo
Darge, back off! Funditto is alright in my book. If you wish ti pick a fight start with me, or go elsewhere on the internet, where sniping and rude behavior is welcomed.
You sound like a person in need of a doobie, Darge.
Peace, Love, Dove....
"Armadillo By Mornin'"
The LTE is technically correct, but to get from one to the other in a direct line you must cross the Cumberland twice.
And today's word is "fellatio."
I once had a pet Armadillo, I named him''Sholderpads''. He was ran over and killed, while hitchhiking to Texas to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family.
"Pick up the Pieces (of armadillo)"
That's sad, Slacker....could be a tune in there.
Kosh, the act of fellatio, performed by a skanky armadillo is too graphic, this early in the day...after noon, it might be more appropriate. I'm still on my first cup of java.

.................................................................
Kosh you will get a lecture from the morale no-all-iority about this.
slacker you have my condolence.
Armadillo by Morning.
Loner, Nemo, its very sad, everyday I think of my friend ''Shoulderpads''.
I have set up a memorial fund at Fifth Third bank. All donations are appreciated. Just deposit your donation in the ''Send slacker to Hawaii'' account, and I'll do the transfer.
All donations may be tax deductible.
Loner: You can kiss my as@@.
4 weeks ago I came to your assistance when you pissed Sid V off so bad she was going to sue you. I backed you.
Then, 2 weeks ago you yammered on and on how brilliant your LTE was, yet TCP wouldn't print it.
So, I championed your cause and you hand wrote the diatribe.
Now, you turn on a dime.
Fine..."buddy- up" with Funditto, assemble a posse', get your "ya-ya's" out.
If you think calling Taylor Swift a "skank", is funny, and 12 pages of "skank" over two days is a riot, join a Delta frat house as a consultant.
I'll post were and when I choose. I never liked New Yorkers, anyway.
I already paid at the office slacker.
Serves the armadillo right...I mean, who did he think he was...hitchiking with no thumbs...

I'm in DC today to ask why anybody would want to blow up a system that's 95% right and then let CONGRESS rebuild it.
Good for you BenDover. Do you have your tea bag?
DC - Dargent's cottage
lol
He's only there to get a picture of the Darth Vader gargoyle at the National Cathedral.
Don't sugar-coat it, Darge; express your true feelings. It's OK, you are among friends.
Part of an organized protest, Ben, or lone wolf style?
There's a get-together on the capital steps at 12:00 and I'm meeting with Marsha a little later in the day.
I think Ben is there at the oders of Limbaugh. I wonder who Ben is with?
Whew! Man, I'm so glad I cancelled my DC trip. I'm exposed to enough whining at home with a one year old.
Give 'em hell Ben. I'm sure they'll listen.
First name bases. How sweet.
I'm sure all of your favorite news sources kept you insulated from nefarious goings on such as this.
At lest the whining at home you can love.
Just as I thouhgt. He on oders from his Rat God.
Ben, that happens all the time. Been there, done that many times myself. Kudos to you for participating in the process. It won't help, trust me, but at least you're doing something.
Which is more than you can say about a lot of other people.
No problem, Loner. You said, "start with me". So, I laid it out.
I'm sick of all the "Great LTE", "Right on", "I agree, wholeheartly" b.s. from everyone, then numb-nuts Funditto (male or female?) comes out of the woodwork.
"House" is the one who's nailed this board down solid. All sarcasm, all the time. One liners, no responsibility, no sweat.
Have fun with your "Amadillo" word association today.
By: Captain Nemo on 11/5/09 at 8:20
Just as I thouhgt. What is this? Just as I thought.
I happen to like hearing from Dargent. He's cordial and argues without going nuts too much...other than when Bush is brought up. But even there, he's consistant.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
Good luck, Ben. I'll bet that the crowd will be 98% white folks, mostly over 30 years old, born-again, gun-loving, gay-hating and predominantly male.
I've been to Washington on a protest or two myself. If the weather is good, it can actually be a lot of fun...unless they turn the police dogs and tear gas on you....watch out for taser-happy security people, Ben.
Notice how the slums sudenly end and an island of public monuments emerges from the decay and neglect,. kind of emblematic of the whole republic, isn't it?
I think the letter would have had more impact if it had been about how Bush mistook Iraq for Iran. Now talk about bad geography.
Yep...definitely not a news source for many! LOL
