Airboy, MetalDog, Slash, and
maybe Longblade are about the only ones of y'all I would expect to know who Gizzard is. But he had some great quotes :)
QuoteI know lots of people who are educated far beyond their intelligence.
QuoteIn the south there's a difference between 'Naked' and 'Nekkid.' 'Naked' means you don't have any clothes on. 'Nekkid' means you don't have any clothes on and you're up to somethin'.
QuoteBaptists never make love standing up. They're afraid someone might see them and think they're dancing.
QuoteInstead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and give her a house.
QuoteThere is something wrong when you wait in line thirty minutes to get a hamburger that was cooked for ninety seconds an hour ago.

I also know who he is. I lived in Newnan, GA for a few years and drove on the Lewis Grizzard Highway many, many times.
Thanks for the link. The quotes it led to helped brighten my day. O0
Yeah, I always read his columns in the paper whenever I got the chance. He was kind-of Jeff Foxworthy before there was a Jeff Foxworthy. I miss him.

I wasn't sure how far south past DC you'd ventured.
DC is more of a case of how far north I ventured out of Florida/Georgia. Can't wait to get out of here. :buck2:

Count me in too; still have a few of his books floating around my Aunt's house I bet.
Miss the old coot - pity he and Garrison Keillor couldn't double team this year's election cycle as I bet it would have been a good read.
I've quoted his "difference between naked and nekkid" line for years now. Classic O0
My grandparents took the paper and I would read him there. Sold a few of his books, too.
