Rocks and Boats
 
OK, Zipper nailed me on the rocks and boats question. So I gots a question for all you guys and gals, here it is:

What's the FIRST thing you know?

Hint: Lester and Earl knew. I'm willing to bet dollars to do-nuts you all know too!

Scooterz 01-27-2009 09:31 AM

Suicide-

I will admit, I do not claim to be the sharpest guy in the world, but I am completely lost... boats & rocks & Earl & the other dude. Did i miss something?? Scooter

Scooterz 01-27-2009 09:43 AM

Nevermind... I just got up to speed on the other thread. So how did a 300lb rock get in the boat?

Ok Scooter, the best guess I have is Zipper06 put the rock in the boat. If he didn't, I have no clue how or why the rock was placed in the boat. "boats and rocks" was just to get peoples attention. You're not lost, you may be a little confused. Lemme see if I can help you out, my name is Earl, but I ain't the Earl in the hint. Lester is the other dude, and is a very important clue to the answer. I never met Lester or Earl, but we all knew the answer to the question. So do you. At least I believe you do.
Anyhow, Whats the FIRST thing you know?

Oh, and BTW zipper knows too, whether he knows it or not!! So, did I clear that up for ya?

Whats the FIRST thing you know?

Hints are above.

Jed's a millionaire.

suicidebomb 01-27-2009 04:39 PM

Yep, thats it!!! sung by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs :D :D

Scooterz 01-27-2009 04:41 PM

Earl put the rock in the boat. He did this because he wanted to be faster than Lester. When Lester realized the rock made a bigger wake in his boat, he decided to wake board becase he could pick up more chicks. This made Earl VERY ANGRY... because he caught no fish & got no chicks (because Lester was wake-boarding around him all the time). At the end of the day, Lester found out the Earl was a transvestite, so everything worked out ok.

I am getting close to the answer right?

suicidebomb 01-27-2009 04:48 PM

Well no Rigs, ....ah..well ah.... You do have a very "interesting" imagination. :)

fla1976 01-27-2009 05:38 PM

Boat
 
Of course, why didn't I think of that :?

chrisr 01-27-2009 05:39 PM

Isn't Lester and Earl Larry's brother therefore they would be Darrel and Darrel's brother also which was cousins with Jed. :shock: :shock: :shock:

mopar1968 01-27-2009 06:30 PM

WHAT THE HELL :?: :?: :? :? :? :?

suicidebomb 01-27-2009 06:43 PM

All I remember was Jed, Jethro, Ellie Mae, Granny, Mr.&Mrs. Drysdale, Miss Jane, and Claude the poodle, Oh, and Duke the bloodhound. I always thought the star of the show was the Model T.

cepx111 01-27-2009 10:14 PM

I thought it was "well da first thing ya know"
Maybe that would of been to much of a giveaway :)
Good one though Earl, you had me.

Don't forget Pearl and Jeraldine :D
I liked Jethro when he was a double ought spy!!

suicidebomb 01-28-2009 08:46 AM

I'd Plum forgot about Pearl and Jeraldine, and Jethros iron hat. Oh, and the model t, converted to the double naught spy car, with a big washtub. 8)

Suicide:

I am not getting this deal... but it would not be the first time I did not get a riddle. Here it goes... the first thing I knew was that there was a boat w/a Rock in it. You lost me when Earl & Lester came along.

I have to admit, Elle Mae was HOT. I had a crush on her big time.

fishmanjoe 01-28-2009 10:07 AM

Hey men! I think with all this talk about rocks in a boat,you guys got too much time on your hands!!!See ya later,I AM going back out in the garage and talk to my wrenches.FISHMANJOE

zipper06 01-28-2009 11:00 AM

Not sure what answer that Suicidebomb was looking for with the question, But in reality, the first thing we learn in life is LOVE, and sometime during life we tend to forget that.

Zip.

I thought Jeraldine was hot :shock: :shock:
She did look a LOT like Jethro though :lol:

Scooterz 01-28-2009 12:52 PM

Zip- that was fairly deep compared to what I was thinking for the answer. Anyways, true story. Scooter

ashtrak 01-28-2009 01:08 PM

don't leave out cousin Betsy

suicidebomb 01-28-2009 04:35 PM

Fla1976 answered the riddle correctly.

mopar1968 01-28-2009 04:37 PM

Ohhhhhhh it was a riddle :? :? :? Still :!: :!: Oookay :!: :!:

fla1976 01-28-2009 04:46 PM

Riddle
 
The riddle was "The first thing you know". That is from the song from the Beverly Hill Billies TV show, that was performed by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. The part after that is "Jed's a millionaire". Just an obscure trivia question. That is why people were referencing Jethro, Granny etc.

Jed used to say"I gotta have a looong talk with that boy"

Scooterz 01-29-2009 12:15 PM

Did everyone hear me say that Elle Mae was Hot? She was SOOOO HOT. Ahead of her time in fact... man, if I were only a Clampitt back then... or if I could be like her second cousin or something.

"Hey cousin ElleMae, do need me to put on some sun tan lotion on your back while you are by poolside?" "Well, since I am here, maybe I could also put some on your... "What's that Elle-Baby, you have not been w/ a man in HOW many years?" Oh well, I know we are cousins, but I have this idea.... -then that funky music starts- You know the rest.
