Here are a couple other things overheard Saturday night at Buzzy’s Country Store ‘s Mary Lou/Mike/Anti-Thanksgiving Party:
“I figured everyone would like to eat some oysters.” Captain Jimmy Cullison as he set up to cook/scald a bushel of oysters.
“You’re at Buzzy’s and there is no protocol unless you want me to ring the bell and you buy a round for everyone.” Me to Father Lee after he walked in and asked “What’s the protocol?”
“I’ve heard a lot about you and would like to have your autograph.” Jay Riper to J. Frank Raley following my Mom, ever the Machiavelli, prompting Jay to “Make an old man happy and go ask him for his autograph.”
“A shot of Wild Turkey, a shot of peach schnapps and cherry Coke.” My response to folks who asked what was in the Wild Buzzy Turkey Shooters I made for everyone.
“A little too much cherry Coke but leave it like that because not everyone will like the bourbon taste like I do.” John Carbone when asked to sample and critique the Wild Buzzy.
“Mike, I go to bed at 8:30.” Ray Raley to Mike Raley who was trying to talk Ray into going to the Green Door.
“No. You’re driving.” My Mom to Peaches when Peaches asked for a sip of her Wild Buzzy Turkey Shooter.
“Great party. Buzzy would have been proud.” Billy Fitzgerald.
