Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"

Yes, he is a lucky guy. Thank you for that story, dear Shasta!!
I am so crazy about old pickup trucks, that I stopped and took a pic of this on up "on blocks" just like Cassie!
For some reason, I sorta identified with it!
Front-Ranger:
It is a joy and a pleasure whenever I have to....
tuck in my shirt!!

Good one, FRiend! I never use that Brokieism because I never tuck in my shirt. But if I ever do, I will think of this!
Brown Eyes:
I'm not a shirt-tucker either. I think that's a big personality dividing line for lots of folks. Once in a while I try to go to work wearing a shirt tucked in... but it only lasts until lunch usuallly.
And, my interest in old pick-up trucks has increased by nearly 100 percent due to the influence of BBM in my life! :D I love Adam's Ennis truck... it was just so awesome to be able to ride in it at the BBQ.

OK... here's my use of a Brokieism for today. It's sort of lame... but I was deliberately thinking about BBM when I said it. My boss and our assistant were meeting this morning in my boss's office and she was talking about needing to email a contact to ask him for his mailing address because up until this point we've only been in touch with this person via email and phone. But we do know what state he lives in... So, I suggested that we send the letter "general delivery" to XYZ state and see if it gets there. And, they both laughed. I realize that to be truly accurate in this scenario we should have been talking about what town the person lives in.
Front-Ranger:
If you don't tuck in your shirt, how do you show off your minor rodeo belt buckle then?? ::)
I LOVED your general delivery story! People are really getting out there with their Brokeisms!! Last nite, I came the closest I ever have to discovering a new Brokie by using a Brokieism. I was ordering lamb in a restaurant and I said, "I'm here to eat the sheep, not guard them."
Read what came next here!!
