I Wonder if Betty White is a BIKER CHICK Like ME!!





Well, I watched Hot in Cleveland again last night and I have to tell you Betty White cracks me up.  She is so bloomin funny on the show.  I always thought of her as being more like the character she played in Golden Girls, but apparently, she's rather a crazy little lady and always has been.  I read somewhere that she actually wanted the part of Blanche on Golden Girls and was rather pissed when she got the role of the sweet little ding bat from St. Olfa, Rose.  Apparently, in real life she is a firecracker and has a rather foul mouth.  Now, you know I don't usually write with 4-letter words, but any of you who knows me from way back knows I can cuss like a sailor!!  It appears that Betty White finally has a show where she can show her true colors and cuss when she wants!  I love it and love her!!

I think it's my Southern Belle Status that prevents me from using 4-letter words when I blog.  Jeez, one of my dear little Aunts could be reading what I write and I don't want to be an embarrassment to them.  I don't want to be an embarrassment to my children either.  Even though, Enola writes a blog that sometimes makes me blush!!  Well, not really, but I want her to think it makes me blush.  She still thinks I'm a sweet and little naive southern girl!!   Also, I want people to enjoy reading my blog and I don't want to offend anyone!!   My closest friends tell me that they have never heard anyone cuss as eloquently as I do.  They claim that you hardly even notice I'm using 4-letter words because I ooze Southern Belleness  (is that a word.... it is now)!!

Let me tell you what I did last Saturday..... As most of you have heard, Enola, Tam and I have Scooters.  I'm not talking little putt putts that go 30 miles an hour.  I'm talking big bad bikes that go 70mph (at least that is the fastest I've allowed myself to get so far).  Our Scooters are street legal and you have to get a motorcycle license and a tag and everything lol.  I've been making all these shirts that say CresentCrow Scooter Club, and Biker Chick and all sorts of silly things with my monogramming/embroidery machine.  We keep talking about how we have to get gloves and leathers and all that stuff for cold weather biking!!  So, anyway, when I arrived at Hide Away last Saturday to help Butch Menefee with Karaoke I noticed some really sexy looking motorcycles parked out front!!  I had arrived early along with Tam and Enola so there were not many people in the bar.  Rough-house (the boss man) was at the table talking to the bikers so I walked over and spoke to everyone.  I asked them if they were going to stay for Karaoke and they responded that they were just out for a little riding.  Next thing I know boss man has walked off and I'm standing alone with these 2 BIKER couples.  I mean they were for real bikers.  I casually look at them and say "My girls over there and I are BIKER CHICKS"!  Well, that kind of gets there attention and then I say "Yeah, we all just bought SCOOTERS a few months ago"!!  I could tell they wanted to bust a gut laughing so I start my witch cackle and we have a great laugh over it!!  As we talked I guess they decided I was pretty cool and they stated they were going to go home and change out 2 wheels for 4 wheels and come back for Karaoke!!

An hour or so into Karaoke I look up and in walks my 4 new biker friends.  I was so excited and ran over and gave them all hugs and got them to sign up to sing some songs!!  As the night went on we all kept talking and laughing and just having a good time!!  By this time we are all on a FIRST NAME BASIS!!    I had another group of people come in that I had personally invited and along with the regulars we had a pretty decent crowd.  We all sang, danced and had a really good time.

When my biker friends, Dan, Phyllis, Kevin and Pam got ready to leave they all hugged me and told me I could ride with them anytime I want to!!  Now that may not mean much to you non BIKER folks, but that was a great compliment for real bikers to make a scooter rider an offer to ride with them anytime!!  Hey they even got my phone number, so I think they really meant it!!  Now I just need to get my butt on my scooter and practice riding so I don't embarrass myself when I get to ride with the BIG DOGS!! lol

Life in the South is such a beautiful way to live.  I feel that everything is just a little bit slower paced than up North.  I'll never forget going to New York City for the first time..... I was astounded by how fast EVERYTHING was.  People were rude and obnoxious and it was a real culture shock!!  I know there are rude and obnoxious people every where, but, don't you agree in the South it's just a little bit more relaxed?

I appreciate all of you that read and follow my blog!!  I love reading your comments and hope you will all take the time to go back and read others comments.  You can even comment on the commenter's comments if you like!!

Sincerely,
Nanette


P.S.  My bike says VINTAGE BARBIE in hot pink on each side!!  A young man, who is a dear friend, surprised me with the lettering!!


P.S.S. I think I'm going out for a ride now, so hope I'll be able to write again soon!! lol  If you see me on the road, do not blow the horn or anything because I might run off the road!!  I need practice!!
