Elder Covered Bridge, Watkinsville, Georgia
Splintery. Dry. Weatherbeaten. But enough about Madonna's ginch. What do you think about this bridge?
Personally, although I find covered bridges picturesque, I don't see the value proposition. To protect you from the rain? You're going to the other side, dickhead. It's not like there's a bar in there, or anything. No fucking loitering. Move on, son. Plus, highwaymen could hide in the rafters and bushwhack you. No thanks. I think covered bridges are bullshit, and it didn't take a novel or Clint Eastwood movie to convince me, either.
In fact, I should probably go burn that bridge down tomorrow. At least the covered part. To protect the strollers, naturists, dogwalkers, and queers out for a quick blow job. Instead of a highway patrolman, I could be a highwayman patrol.
It's all about safety, and risk management, to me. Those bridges are attractive nuisances, imperiling the clueless rubbernecker.
I took some extra pictures, just in case you Insipids like this sort of thing. We can peruse them at Helen, and I can tell you what a magnificent conflagration that bridge were. That way, I've done my safety duty, and yet we still have the pictures to look at. Like when the last Filipino who speaks Tagalog dies, crucified by his buddies some Easter, we can still listen to anthropology tapes, and marvel at what a crude and inscrutable language it was. Works for me.
Yours soidisantially,
Velociman

Ginch? I just learned minge, now I gotta learn ginch. What other genitaliac am I missing in my vocab? I blame the public school system.

Posted by: PeggyU at June 22, 2008 11:34 AMHuh. I just learned, "cunt mechanic" the other day from Twenty.
There must be some fun to be had with, "How the Ginch Stole Christmas." Mebbe a noir-detective novel about some sorta hooker ginches that bankrupt and blackmail local politicians and leading religious cunt mechanics.
See? Once you use new words in a sentence, you can keep them forever!

Posted by: Velociman at June 22, 2008 6:08 PM..... one would think bushwacked would satisfy .
Posted by: Bill D. Cat at June 22, 2008 9:50 PMWell, when a bridge has already been crossed, what is left to say?
I could posit that the covered bridges were the Interstate overpasses of their day, and it would support your excellent assessment of the situation. But who can add any rap to what's been laid down already by the Vman?
At best, we can marvel and then chat among ourselves, having no matches handy for lighting off a bridge.
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at June 22, 2008 10:06 PMThis makes me think nostalgically upon my collection of 460 euphemisms for the word "vagina," which of course includes such gems as "ginch" and "minge." And "burgooly."
Good way to get our attention: Remind us about Madonna's dried-out twat. 'Twould be like fucking a birdhouse, it would.
Now, what you need is a dried-out old steam-engined train to propel itself through one of those covered bridges. Freudian, that.
Posted by: Elisson at June 22, 2008 10:46 PMBridges were covered to protect them from the elements that would hasten their deterioration. Now they're just a good place to surreptitiously photograph sleazy naked girls you pick up in local bars.
Or so I'm told.

Posted by: james old guy at June 23, 2008 11:52 AMI always thought covered bridges were a New England thing, designed to keep snow from accumulating on the bridge and weighing it down more than it could stand...
Posted by: rob sama at June 23, 2008 7:03 PMLove that bridge.
Posted by: Mickysolo at June 23, 2008 8:12 PMOg and Rob are both correct. Also, they provided cover for folks to flee into when softball sized hail began to pelt the earth. I have spent quite a bit of time, under overpasses in Oklahoma, getting to know my fellow refugees as hail fell like cannon shot all around us. You learned the distance from overpass to overpass, and when weather threatened, we scurried from position of cover, to position of cover.
Posted by: Bane at June 23, 2008 8:13 PMLooks like an Amish beer drive through to me, just without the beer coolers and Somalians.
Clip-clop Clip-clop, pull reins, pet beard, I'll have a 12 of Bud' in the can... bro'.
Don't blame me man, I had a better one earlier but got the finger, as only 'Necks can...

I saw Snatch, great movie.
And Elisson... fucking a birdhouse? Not to mention the visual I now will never get out of my head, but is this something you have personal knowledge thereof?
And are there pictures?
Elisson... fucking a birdhouse
There has to be a joke involving a woodpecker in there somewhere...
Posted by: PeggyU at June 25, 2008 12:45 PMCovered bridges like that always remind of that scene in the movie "Funny Farm." Movers contemplating crossing due to the weight of their truck. One of them says, "That's not a bridge. That's termites holding hands!"
